There’s a reason England was by and large happy to see the ass-end of the morons they shipped over here to seed this colony. It’s always been like this, you just see it now because of the Internet. Well, also because their numbers have dwindled so much they’re forced to homogenize. Used to be they’d argue back and forth about the correct belief system endlessly (you’ll recall Protestants at one time loathed Catholics and Mormons were a heretical and dangerous cult to be avoided). Now their only message is how you have to get all your holes filled while dying your hair and fucking up your face with caked on makeup and plastic surgery - anything to pump up the numbers.
For those of us who have given serious thought to philosophy and life and death and science versus myth - we’ve managed to get a grip on mortality. These freaks have not and can not - they don’t have the tools for it. And thus, they all remain themselves tools.
Plenty of us over here have been frustrated about it our whole lives, even before the Internet. There’s nothing to do but wait it out. You can’t fix stupid.
Not only did they homogenize but they also became bastardized version of their specific branches while they were at it, with maybe the exception of the Mormons but they’ve always been shit. Historically a lot of these Christian sects were more than capable of handling non belief since they would just leverage culture and economics to maintain relevance, think like how John Brown while a complete zealot was more than willing to work with folks who he considered quite questionable since all are sinners but also kill all slavers. While this could be abusive there were also plenty of situations where the individual priests were closer to community leaders than anything else, hell one of my ancestors went to church where they had a Scottish protestant, a Irish Catholic, and Swiss Jew as the priests they only tried to stab each other over politics.
But well as a lot of things go they sold their souls to the devil, which is to say they traded long term influence and stability for short term relevance and political power. They’ll burn out eventually since even in the Bible belt folks are getting sick of that shit, frankly it’s more a question of how much they’ll break before they’re too weak and irrelevant to do any more damage.
Dear Gods, every day I wake up to find yet more (I don’t know what, coalesced stupidity?) from the US, each day lowering the bar.
Can you please pull yourselves together, if not for the rest of the world, for yourselves?
