U.S. Politics

There was never a guarantee that we were in the good timeline, I guess. Stupid Gene Roddenberry getting our hopes up that things could be worse elsewhere with Mirror, Mirror when the real lesson was that our timeline is already the bad one compared to the optimistic world of Trek.

CHICK TRACTS!!!

I used to collect those evil little things. I got *really* into (and angry about) the Satanic Panic in junior high when I was doing research on the Salem Witch Trials for a history paper and ended up turning the paper into a parallel study of the Salem hysteria and modern Satanic Panic hysteria. At that point, I started collecting Chick tracts, Tony Alamo flyers, all the weirdo christianist cult stuff that was flying around in the late-80s/early-90s. I went ALL IN on religious conspiracies, “historical”black magic and satanism (like noted wackjob Montague Summers), even “modern” satanism like LaVey and such . . . . which might have alarmed teachers and parents if they weren’t already used to me constantly reading weird “adult reading level” books with supernatural themes. My 13 year old self would absolutely talk your ear off how they used to literally dig up dead bodies and put said corpses on trial for being vampires and then find them “guilty” and use that as an excuse for the Church or a local lord to steal all their land and money and yeah I was WEIRD.

My next history paper was on Hitler.
🤡

So, like, living in the current timeline just has me screaming internally constantly because HOLY SHIT I figured this shit out before I could legally drive a fucking car so WHAT THE HELL IS TAKING EVERYONE ELSE SO DAMN LONG???!?!

Nazis : bad.
Wacko religious extremism : bad.
Grandstanding blowhards who say they have all the answers: bad, and also motherfucking LIARS.

The end.

Are we talking end of the world end times or end times where hardcore Christians just vanish one day? Because the latter could be good.

Yeah I always felt like the rapture coincided with what Crazy Horse said would happen, meaning all those people will b gone then the native Americans will actually lead the way for the rest of us who are left as far as getting back to being in tune with nature.

Growing up in a Fundamentalist environment, those Chick Tracts were constantly showing up at my church in the Youth room. I must have read a hundred of those things as a kid. Now, while my parents are totally whackadoodle, right-wing nutjobs, to their credit they did read a couple of them and declare them to be total BS. In fact, I believe my dad had a talk with the youth pastor that he really needed to review those things because some of the stuff in them was "unbiblical" and actually promoting "cult beliefs". That says a lot right there, as my parents were FULL ON into the Satanic Panic, and every thing seemed devised by Satanists to lead us all astray (sometime I'll relate the rather hilarious interpretation they came up with for the Styx tune "Mr. Roboto". Even as a kid that one had my eyes rolling).

JD Vance defends saying he wants his wife Usha to convert to Christianity​

"I hope she may one day see things as I do," the vice president said.
---

Full JD Vance quote:

"I hope she may one day see things as I do, living a world where nothing matters except money and power, especially not the truth or beliefs. To be able to sell oneself out in a moment, to go back on your words, flip a switch and turn into a different person for the sake of outward appearance. Come on, lady who has my kids, you can't stay brown, not-Christian, and my wife forever!"
