The Secret War To Censor The Internet

Recent Lextorias video explains how a 2018 FOSTA-SESTA law amended protections to the Communications Decency Act, and immediately opened the flood gates for targeted harassment of payment processors for adult content censorship.

      My religious in-laws as why I dont believe in their god and I have to patiently explain that I view their religion in the same way as I see Greek or Egyptian mythology. Just a silly superstition used to explain things they don’t have actual answers to. They really hate that.

        My mom saw the NDT clip where he says God is just a receding pocket of unknowns (I’m paraphrasing the hell out of it because I can’t remember the actual wording).

        I think part of her realizes that he is right because while she kinda hates all non-fundie people, she really REALLY doesn’t like him. I’m guessing because she sees that line of thought as a big threat.

        But if I ever get into it with her, I will make absolutely sure to bring that idea in to it, just to watch her squirm.

        I’ve been figuring out a way to approach these subject with my family when the topic comes up. These Christian fascist that are making these laws are not followers of the Christ. The Christ threw money lenders and business men out of the temple. He didn’t cozy up to them, make deals with them. He didn’t make megachurches and end up protecting pedos. These so called Christians are really perverted by demons.

        Or some shit idk. I’m still workshopping how I can break through to some of the religious folks around me.

          I appreciate the attempt, but MAGA is a cult. These “religious” people are rabidly following the most unchristlike person alive today. Logic and reason won’t sway them. My advice to my wife is to find the cracks I their faith in this man and slowly tap wedges into them.
