It’s a one off attack isn’t it? Seems excessive to even suggest such a thing if it’s not an actual ongoing or existing problem.
It wasn’t even a kirpan but that was the defense a murderer tried (and failed) to use and so the rightwing racists amplified it times a million pointing and yelling “SEE SEE SEE” and because truth means nothing and controversy means clicks and attention we all need to give their bullshit empty claims serious weight and consideration and rebuttal in some pointless theatre of one-way civility and illusory balance instead of just smacking them upside the head for being racist twats.

Idk if it’s racism or just obsessive Christian trauma, but this militant atheist thing lemmy has going on is incredibly cringe
I keep a non-denominational knife in my hat and there’s nothing the government can do
Reminds me of this time in english class where we had to role play a situation in which we were an event organiser and the person in charge of security was refusing to let a Sikh artist in because of their ceremonial dagger. Every students thought that the assignment was to convinced the artist to give up their knife our break the contract but the teacher was like “no, it’s not how it works in the UK, it’s supposed to be a dilemma”.
Goals for 2027:
- Establish a religion
- Make carrying an AK47 a crucial part of our faith
- ???
- Profit.
So, fascists
Ideologists in general
Sure, an entire religion with extremely rare incidents like this need a knee jerk response. Not at all intended to continue the stupid right-wing media frenzy…
Sikh’s can carry a blade… sike!
Sooo their faith encourages carrying a blade just in case they need to stab someone, gotcha. Sure as fuck they aren’t carrying a blade to make sandwiches.
No their faith requires them to wear a ceremonial dagger.
