How about: they're a major factor in the rise of post truth and in ruining the Internet. And in hacking democracy itself

Their control is endangering the human race. They've crushed countless innovations to keep a stranglehold on technology. They proactively helped fascists get into power

They don't deserve to make ever increasing money off us. They're not content creators - they're bad stewards of a public forum they bought and expanded through monopolistic practices.

I'd say it's not only moral to deny them ad revenue, I think watching their ads is a danger to society

Why bother... Does the truth even matter at this point?

No, they do. They don't die, but they lose their current life

See, I came prepared. I actually knew what the Mona Lisa looked like already

And so when I came to see the Mona Lisa, I came to see the madness surrounding a tiny, kind of mid painting

Yep, pretty much. Although there's a noticable lack of opposition from Democratic leadership... There's a lot of "we're going to watch the situation closely"

It's not a sure thing, but it's worrisome

Weirdly enough, the military might be one of the biggest sources of resistance. Watching them walk instead of march in the parade was very interesting... So was their choice in music.

We're in the bizzaro timeline for sure

I didn't look past that, it's the whole point

It's a shitty people becoming better. But it's a people trying to be better. It's people who believe they are better, and when it's pointed out to them that they're actually assholes they're humbled enough to listen to the person calling them out. They glorified them as wise men blessed by their god

They were proud of themselves for treating their slaves better than the civilizations around them, they prided themselves on being conflicted about going to war. These are good things... But you're not supposed to copy them. You're not supposed to go back.

You're supposed to also strive to be better

Well, just to follow up...

US President Donald Trump said in a Sunday interview wih ABC News that the United States might get involved in the Iran-Israel conflict and expressed openness to having Russian President Vladimir Putin act as a mediator.

Huh... Yeah, that makes sense.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but I think you dropped this: .com.ru

It made me a leftist lol.

The old testament is all about a people who keep fucking up by adopting the shitty practices of the people around them, then being shamed into being better for a while. And then the person who called them out dies or leaves... But if they stay they get too comfortable with power and abuse it. Some of them are assholes the whole way through... It's about history and notable figures, it's not aspirational at all

Then the gospels are a how to guide to living under an occupying state.

No temples, we just share meals now. No relics, water is holy now. No leaders, we all serve each other. No money, no stock piles, no rich people - let the tax man have nothing to take. No open resistance to invite a crackdown, instead we're going to just be really, really obnoxious to deal with through third path shit

It worked so well Rome straight up massacred the communes to stop the spread, and it was still spreading underground until Constantine slapped Jesus branding on the Roman religion.

Finally, I'm not sure what Revelations is about, but it has cool imagery

The Bible really hits different when you don't have someone explaining each passage one by one going "oh, that wasn't mutual aid, that was magic"

I tore into someone about how I don't respect economics (specifically, micro and macro that they push like a religion) because it's constantly disproven.

And for how they treat you like a child and tell you "you just don't understand economics" whenever you point out a contradiction, which they obviously then proceeded to do several times instead of answering any of my points

So after that, they apparently went through my old posts to try to poke holes in my other arguments - it wasn't until the third or fourth one when I realized it was the same username, which I found deeply funny
