  • Yea it seems like a lot people don’t want to face the fact that US politics are a theatre drama. And of course they also presume that you’re implying that means one shouldn’t vote, indeed a dangeous (and irritating) assumption. I believe one should vote based on a politicians actions and character, and try to notice when they’re bought and performing. The preponderance of evidence that anyone with any power is bought out is defeaning.








  • This really seems like the church doing PR: was a good pious rich kid and used social media to proselytize, then a couple people prayed to him and claimed to be healed (what he is being canonized for). And when I looked for controversy around it I just found some extreme dark-age type Catholics who are even more self-subsumed than most.

    Thousands years old religions just don’t work without asking for extreme delusion. I like that church etc helps form community and gathers folks, but that’s about it; the message has been lost to all but a few.
