Just for practical reasons, nobody could win that and it's obvious up front. Big old cold war, yeah. Till we stop being idiots.

I'm going to stick with "Who's going to pay for it?" When dealing with military types, and probably some really mean poo poo about them being chicken hawks for everyone else.

It's like not even a heated angry. Like I'm just loving resigned to us committing more blood and treasure into this hole. We should have listened to Smedley.

This is from the little Trump evangelical get together in Florida, and if they showed their face there, its a good bet those are the sort of Christians who fully endorse Christian fascism.

I mean, they're white evangelical protestants so there's a fair chance a majority are fashie, fash-adjacent, or fash-apologist but the roller coaster arms isn't the tell: the "white evangelical protestant" is the tell?

I saw the church rally on the news and another angle had most everyone on stage with their arms in the air to be nearer to Jesus or whatever the gently caress, except Trump, who just had a dumb smug grin on his face as if he were appreciating the not-actually-Nazi salute in his honor.bird food bathtub posted:Looks like the post-hoc justification talking points are out. Everyone in the right wing propaganda machine is vomiting the phrase "imminent attack", so someone sent that out in an email somewhere. Is this "Saddam has WMDs" 2, Cheeto Boogaloo?

It's starting, I know a lot of the non-evangelical churches around here have been having problems the whole of the '10s. One got rid of sunday school because there weren't enough people bringing their kids in to justify keeping it, and I'm not talking a tiny congregation of 30 type church either. Granted I'm not exactly in the bible belt or anything.

The Pew Research Center is the gold standard on this stuff, and christianity is in decline in the US, and has been for a while: https://www.pewforum.org/2019/10/17/in-u-s-decline-of-christianity-continues-at-rapid-pace/ But I'm pretty sure it's the moderate and even left-leaning mainline churches that are seeing the decline. So the megachurches will continue to be A Thing for a while, sadly. And since they are all in on the GOP, we are all going to have to deal with their poo poo.

Viva Miriya posted:Ruh roh I know, right? I've told this story in TFR, but here goes: I've never met a nice South African (cue song) Except for Al. My father was at a house party, talking to me on the phone, when he had to take a piss. "Hey, MiT, talk to this guy for a second." I talked to the dude for ten minutes, just bullshitting. I mentioned that I like SA food and Al said he'd send me some homemade biltong. A week later a fifteen pound box of dried, spiced meat shows up on my door from where they were. Al is alright. Al left SA in the mid-2000's. You didn't go anywhere alone, never unarmed, always during the day. Endemic racism, constant paranoia from all sides, rampant crime, grinding poverty, insane evangelists, the losers of a civil war still starting poo poo, stop me if this sounds familiar. gently caress, Florida is great. Love it. (user was put on probation for this post)
