The Holy Joes have been banned as a religion.

Putin isn't even pretending not to be a Fascist.

[Strike For The South]

It's April 20 and Vladimir Putin is still a fascist.

[Brenus]

So, a lot of Countries are fascists...

[Sarmatian]

Around 70 of them, including South Korea, Singapore. Bulgaria, Georgia, France, China, Japan...

So many fascists in the world.

Or have we reached the stage when anything Putin does is automatically fascist?

-Breaking news! Don't shake hands anymore as Putin was seen shaking hands today, therefore it must be fascist.-

Banning goes a bit far but they tend to be annoying, especially these fully suited American ones. I am good in sending them off (politeness is key, never ever ever go into a discussion, it's what they want, just say you know they mean well, presto)

Well, a ten minutes chat on saturday morning with a hangover is always fun for an unbeliever like me. Especially when it's about creationnism and such. Beeing a forest manager they think I should see the beauty of God's creation better than others. And I see the beauty and perfection better than they can even imagine from their dull bigot point of view. I don't even try to convince it's just a question of time, much much time, and typos, many typos. Just don't let them in.

On topic, some good things can happen for bad reasons. If it was my country that did that I'd eagerly wait for the next movement And dream of full banishment of religious ideologies. A dream, for sure.

I greet them at the door, thank them for their time, note that I am a devout Catholic, ask God to bless them, and gently shoo them away. Not a difficult issue and there are never any good reasons to be rude.

Indeed.

So many... I had no idea intolerance was so widespread.

Though maybe some of them are something other than Fascist.

I would put it differently: don't shake hands with Putin or you will become a fascist. It is contagious.

I checked on South Korea. Not all Jehovah's Witnesses in South Korea are persecuted. Only the men who refuse to serve the military get arrested over there.

[Beskar]

If I remember correctly, they are mandated by their religion to go door-to-door, and if they don't fulfill it, they go to hell. That explains why they are so keen to preach and try to convince you.

Witnesses are not banned in France, were not when I was living there. They were a great source of fun with their books and speeches. Might have change if they broke the law...
