Not surprised to see the Gorillaz frontman in the right here, but I am surprised to see the Gorillaz frontman. When did he come out as 3D? Have I been under a rock?
They use flesh avatars for touring.
woohoo!!
When I feel heavy metal!
Guess I’m streaming Gorillaz albums today.
I’d also recommend Damon Albarn’s non-Gorillaz album “Everyday Robots”
Thank you - it’s going on the list
Feels good.

- Clint Eastwood
Fun Fact, Clint Eastwood’s background tune is literally a preset tune off a Suzuki Omnichord.
Gorillaz first LP got me into dub, way back in high school. Fun fact, that song isn’t a nod to the Hollywood actor, it’s a nod to the Jamaican dub MC who used it as his stage name.
I used to be a fan of this guy. I still am, but I used to, too.
Alright Mitch.
I’m the opposite. I’m a fan of this guy, but I also used to be
Well now he can’t open for Ed Sheeran anymore.
I audibly chucked
Common Damon W
Fantastic
Bro was quoted speaking using an emdash 😂
Comma and periods too. How is that possible! /s
the em dash is a valid and important bit of punctuation that has been around longer than you have existed, and will be here far beyond when your unremarkable life ends
Oh I totally agree. Im just saying, as language evolves and connotations are applied. I’d be pissed if I was Damon, quoted with an emdash as to belittle the importance of what was said. Wild to me.
Speaking out for people who are being genocided because of someone else’s sky-daddy? Can I give you a blow job, ya know, if you want one?
For a lot of people it’s not because of any gods, that’s just a convenient justification. Colonization is usually about material goals and benefits for the colonizers. Boiling it down to gods erases this aspect, so I’d caution against doing that.
I think we should be cautious about viewing religion as an excuse when it comes to doing something immoral. You never hear that religion is just an excuse when people are doing religious based charity, it’s always assumed to be an honest expression of their religious faith.
I’d argue it usually is an “excuse” in charitable cases; that is to say, people already inclined to do charity might say it’s because of their religious beliefs. I just don’t really care about that because a good thing is good.
I think your comment was taken as being sarcastic, rather than literally offering a blow job for being a good human. I’d like to think he’d (Gorillaz front man) be flattered by the offer
being genocided because of someone else’s sky-daddy
Oh Wow! Is it edgy time? Can I join in? Atheism also causes genocides!

Under the leadership of Pol Pot, who was an ardent Marxist atheist,[163] the Khmer Rouge enforced a policy of state atheism. According to Catherine Wessinger, “Democratic Kampuchea was officially an atheist state, and the persecution of religion by the Khmer Rouge was only matched in severity by the persecution of religion in the communist states of Albania (see Religion in communist Albania) and North Korea (see Freedom of religion in North Korea).”[164] All religions were banned, and the repression of adherents of Islam,[165] Christianity,[166] and Buddhism was extensive. It is estimated that up to 50,000 Buddhist monks were massacred by the Khmer Rouge.

The Agrarian Reform Law of August 1946 nationalized most property of religious institutions, including the estates of monasteries, orders, and dioceses. Many clergy and believers were tried, tortured, and executed. All foreign Catholic priests, monks, and nuns were expelled in 1946.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_religion_in_North_Korea#Status_of_religious_freedom
Article 256 of North Korea’s criminal law stipulates that anyone who engages in superstitious practices shall be sentenced to a labor discipline camp.[5][6] Articles 23 and 29 of the Reactionary Ideology and Culture Rejection Act explicitly prohibit the dissemination of superstition.[7][8]
EDIT : I guess there are some thin skinned edgelords coming in from !atheism@lemmy.world or whichever instance that still live like it’s the 00s and think that throwing around phrases like “Sky daddies” is the best way to manage secular discourse in public
Whoa there, someone is defensive.
I guess when you worship a self-described “jealous” god who encourages slavery and genocide, you’ve got a lot it be embarrassed about huh
So? That’s whataboutism. We know there’s been a lot of wrongdoings over the history. This doesn’t take away to the fact that Iranians are being killed because of religion reasons right now.
Oh ok, you want to be treated like an adult? Fine. Stop saying disrespectful childish things like “sky daddies” because it makes you seem like an immature edgelord.
He is not saying “I want to be treated like an adult”. He’s saying “your position contains a fatal logical flaw”. Which you did not address, and instead proceeded to get your panties all twisted in a bunch.
Soooooo, who’s the childish one again?
Marxism describes religion as a reaction to oppression hence Marxist in non-marxist system tends to support religious minorities. However, once marxists system is implemented, religious people become a counter point to utopia because their very existence proves that oppression still exists.
This means the number of atheists in a post marxist society actually becomes a success metric. This should explain all 3 mentioned wiki links.
the one saying “sky daddies”
You still have not addressed his actual point. You are just whining about him not using your preferred nomenclature.
I don’t have to. I want to play edgy time. Why can he say “sky daddies” but I can’t say “the cambodian genocide had a horrifying atheism motivated aspect?”
Is “jealous genocider who condones slavery and thinks women should shut the fuck up” a more accurate descriptor?
Like are you sure you want to get into it about how awful your god is?
The person you’re responding to is not the user that said sky daddy. Just a fyi
moth gets it. it can be uncomfortable when confronted with the fact that your faith is a lie and is used daily as an excuse to murder people.
