In US/Europe when cops would do this in bathrooms, parks, bars, bookshops etc they'd get the BJ first before doing the arrest/beating/robbery/roughride.... you know to really be sure the guy was for real. Mostly stopped since the 90s.

This is horrible. I hate that stuff like this happens.

There's obviously a pattern: https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/grindr-sends-egypt-users-warning-alleged-entrapments-arrests-rcna76349

Grindr, the world’s most popular gay dating app, sent a warning to all of its users in Egypt this week following reports that dozens of LGBTQ people had been arrested in the country over the weekend.

“We have been alerted that Egyptian police is actively making arrests of gay, bi, and trans people on digital platforms,” the warning message, first sent on Monday, says. “They are using fake accounts and have also taken over accounts from real community members who have already been arrested and had their phones taken.”

That’s not fascism, that’s religion.

Theocrats and fascists are two sides of the same coin.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

To be fair to them, fascists do this too

Dang, that's really sad.

Imagine going out of your way to do something like this. Like, build a house or something bro.

Yeah,my first thought was 'what a fucking loser with nothing better to do with his life.' I wish the worst on that piece of shit.

Religion ruins everything.

[–] ilikekeyboards 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not any kind of religion. They're worshipping the white man's religion that they were force fed. If there wasn't the British Empire they wouldn't be bending over for Christ.

There can't be a bigger cuckolding than this. The first slaves over the Atlantic where brought over from Nigeria. How can you be a Christian after you've seen what their churches preach.

"When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land."

And yet he was an Anglican archbishop. That part kind of undercut his point.

[–] greyhathero 16 points 1 year ago
