Day is correct here. Hakim is being non materialist
Yeah, that’s not just somewhat insulting to Palestians of different or no faith, it also just feels like a weird attempt to evangelize on the back of a tragedy. Someone was doing it in the news mega last week and it honestly kinda creeped me out.
Tbf, in the youtube comments on this post many people did point out the Christian and Jewish Palestinians and how this kind of bowls over them and Hakim admitted fault to it.
Religion is the opiate of the masses. There are people in pain. What medicine do you use on people in pain?
Even in medicine, what ultimately fixes you is an actual procedure/treatment not the opioids.
Yeah, but you tell me how well your surgery recovery is gonna without them? Sometimes managing symptoms is important to the healing process.
Improve their material conditions and not sell them an idealist snake oil
You have a jinn’s lamp to rub? Precisely what do I have to offer that hits stronger than kind words?
Not offer religious snake oils
That is my current plan, and because I have no power over the system they are doing what fills their otherwise painful lives with meaning and hope. Which, objectively, gives them more strength to resist their oppression than me tediously explaining how Allah doesn’t actually care about them and how meaningless their lives are in the long run.
How said explain that to them? I said don’t promote snake oils which is what Hakim is saying. He should have left his idealist mouth shut about it
Snake oil implies a medicine doesn’t work. This medicine clearly works. It just has side effects that have been proven to be unfortunate. In this moment though, it is hard to find a treatment with a better clinical profile than this.
It doesn’t work as it isn’t materialist. Any supposed benifit would just be a placebo
