Well, maybe not the best post to say "proof not everything [ insert whomever you intend ] posts sucks" when the subject of the video is about something sucking.

I really enjoyed the Mars Sucks video.

thinking about this exchange more…

ultimately, on some higher level, the contents of that video are kinda why the other thread even exists

we have this awesome resource, to our knowledge unmatched in the universe, that supports this amazing, complex assemblage of life…

…and we can’t help but continue to shit all over it

and for what?

some arbitrary idea of wealth and/or power? (ideas and statuses that will be gone in a few hundred years “at best”)

I dunno if it’s even “critiques of Christian nationalism.”

It was mostly just sharing things Christians say and do on public media.

“Free speech” does not, I guess, mean what we thought it meant.

what about them?

do they, by their nature, lead users to compare themselves with altered views of reality?

do they employ algorithms to get you to use the software excessively?
