If I were to try and describe what I'm seeing in the US (politically), I'd call it 'malevolent idiocracy'.
@Kaysymmetry We are a nation of easily manipulated rubes paying huge tithe money to churches who use that tax free cash to crush freedoms replacing said freedoms with their religious driven ambitions of omnipotence.
@MidnightRider @Kaysymmetry I'd say traditional churches are dwarfed by the Church of Unfettered Capitalism.
@MidnightRider again, dwarfed by even just Apple's yearly profits of $120B. A smartphone in every pocket makes us all dumber. And it's designed to make us ask for more.
@hallmarc The tax-free foisters of an ancient bent dogma destroyed the separation of church and state if there ever was such a contract. We don’t have a place to sail to in order to escape their idiocracy, which is both stressful and depressing. Apparently GOD wants suffering and they are the conduit to carry out GOD’s desires.
@hallmarc And where does all that sweet tax-free money flow from? It comes from churches so serious about tithes they have their own collection agents in the south.
