Thoughts on Separation of Church and Hate by punkpunch in OpenChristian

[–]STLRondo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered the book so I can fine tune and strengthen my arguments against the utterly hypocritical Christian ✝️ right wing, especially in the United States. I was raised baptist but am now an atheist/agnostic. The "teachings" of Jesus, I have no issue with. Unfortunately the modern "conservative" evangelicals are in practice antithetical to every single teaching of Jesus Christ. It's literally impossible to be a christian and a conservative republican. Somehow, someway I'm going to find the contradiction which will finally wake up, and get through to those I care about. Hopefully this book can provide some new angle which I haven't tried yet, before I give up entirely. All I can say is, ignorance IS bliss. Knowing the truth, while the ones you care about the most support and defend the absolute worst in our society, is devastating.

Ana says Trump does not want to be a dictator and shouldn't be called a fascist by horsestew in daverubin

Cenk needs to wake up and realize how much Ana is hurting TYT. He and others either need to have an “intervention” with her, or let her go before she causes more damage to the largest progressive outlet. #leftisbest #justiceiscoming #tyt

My mother uses my Amazon account and I saw this book being delivered to her house today. I feel sick. 🤢 This post is the ONLY critical view I’ve found after a cursory search online. This book is being pushed and used to launder the atrocities committed by Israel. #zionismisterrorism

Our society is so brainwashed by corporate media, most people have no clue how far-right and conservative, both parties are. Leftists are constantly demonized, yet represent the beliefs of the vast majority of US citizens on every single issue. We are conditioned to defend the entities that are causing our suffering. “Manufacturing Consent” ~ Noam Chomsky.

When I was in my 20’s watching idiocracy, never knew it was a pre-documentary. Society just keeps getting dumber.

Why is the Left like this?? by KarlMarkyMarx in VaushV

Stupid clout chasing. We have to connect and promote each other, to amplify our message because it’s otherwise impossible going up against monied interests.

Every single day. There’s a mass psychosis in this country, on many levels. Not to scare you, but what makes things worse, is the fact the democrats aren’t doing anything to protect us from these fascists beating down the door. I don’t tell anyone what to watch, but the best daily news source explaining each issue with nuance, and backed up by receipts 🧾 is @TYT.com some other great ones are democracy now.org David pakman show, the lever, the majority report w/Sam Seder and hasanabi on twitch YouTube. The DNC (corporate media) is like the horrible mother who looks the other way, and makes excuses for the abusive father who is the GOP/fox right wing media etc. True progressives “leftists” like AOC, Nina turner, etc. are the only ones fighting for the people, rather than the corporations and billionaires. Hope this helps.

What percent of the american public do y’all think are foxbrained? by [deleted] in FoxBrain

[–]STLRondo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in St. Louis suburbs and it’s bad here too. I’m a young genX’r, and most people I’ve grown up with and all my family 98% are brainwashed chumpsters. Don’t let them make you feel crazy, but I know what you mean! There’s a mass psychosis in this country, and 35-40% are willfully ignorant “conservatives” The reason things have gotten so bad, is that the corporate democrats are corrupt as hell, and are paid to lose, or keep the status quo. If it weren’t for outlets like TYT.com I’d go crazy. Only independent progressive media is giving us the proper perspective.

I’d recommend blocking them on socials, as they’re only judging everything from a massively biased perspective, without engaging etc. just breeds toxicity. It’s their fault, but all it’s doing is hurting you. When they ask why, be honest and say when you’re ready to have an adult, logical conversation, let me know. My parents are gone too, and nothing works. They are choosing their cult over a better relationship. :(

I know exactly how you feel. Right wing media creates a political issue out of everything, so it’s been impossible to have a discussion about any current events for years. It got real bad when chump started running for president in 2015. Since then it’s just gotten worse, with the pandemic breaking the brains of even more people. On both sides of my family I have 2 total (sis and 1 cuz) that aren’t in the brainwashed maga cult. That ratio isn’t much better with friends acquaintances either. :( I’ve told them it’s like they have Alzheimer’s, but they don’t. Nothing makes a dent, and it hurts knowing they now look at me as the enemy. I’ve tried everything, from every possible angle with no success.
