If it's not supposed to be the church then why is the prevailing ideology around here "store brand catholic social theory"?
Because it is not what it is supposed to be.
If it's not what it's supposed to be then why is all the messaging around here basically "capitalism=bad, distributism=good"? Ascetic veganism routinely wins out as morally superior to mercantilism on this platform, suppressing Siddhartha's exit from the woods.
I have no idea what you're talking about. It wasn't supposed to be because the founder's writings and the Constitution says so. Not to mention the never-repealed Barbary treaties which make it explicit that the United States is in no way a Christian country.
You don't seem to understand the difference between "supposed to be" and "is."
If the country is supposed to be "not Christian values" then it's self-defeating to center and amplify Christian values like anti-capitalism, redistribution, and wielding government as a moral authority.
Once again, you seem to have a lot of trouble with the difference between "supposed to be" and "is."
What is on lemmy is righteous anti-social ascetic retreats into off grid homeschooled veganism. What I'm having trouble with is understanding how that sparks a change toward whatever you think is supposed to be rather than propagating the Christian status quo.
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. The only change is going to be turning the U.S. into a literal Christian country at the end of January when the fascist dictator takes over.
Why are you making this about me? I didn't write the Constitution and I'm not Donald Trump either.
Getting on the supposed'a soapbox to post made it about you lol my point has been addressing a seeming disconnect between Internet atheists' claimed values and lived experiences. If the country gets anymore Christian I'll attribute it to their self unaware amplification.
Soapbox?
This is a meme community.
It reads like a trinity of meme community, soapbox, and echo chamber
You still seem confused, so hopefully this will help you out. I used an arrow and a red box since things seem difficult for you to understand.
Thanks I hung it on the fridge.
Did you share it with everybody in this thread having serious discussion on the topic or just the person you disagree with?
Despite the red box and the arrow you still seem to be confused as to where you are. I'm not sure what else can be done to explain the concept of memes and a meme community to you, so have fun taking everyone's joking around very seriously, as you should.
Remember: having fun is for fools.
I think it was during the Dominion suit that Fox argued their propaganda was Merely Entertainment, Actually not to be taken seriously once the damage was done, and the Internet got all mad about the convenient arbitrariness in that double standard being used to prop up the Trump machine.
That's nice, dear.
