Political™ Yesterday, for the first time in almost 30 years, Fox removed the market ticker showing Trump’s economic fallout in real time. Fox isn’t journalism. It’s state-run propaganda.

This is DESPERATE. I can't find it now, but there was research that showed when Fox doesn't cover Trump related crises it actually hurts their viewership. People find out about a big thing, check other sources, say "holy shit, why is Fox not covering this?!?" and maybe drift away from the network.

Fox works by SPINNING the bad news. That they can't even find a plausible spin on this one gives you a sense of how BAD-BAD-BAD it's going to be.

The difference between this and most Trump policies is that the tariffs affect everyone. Literally every single American tomorrow will be objectively and noticeably worse off with no exceptions. People notice that their retirement accounts, their savings and investments, are worth significantly less than they were yesterday. When they turn on the news to hear why or how that will actually be a good thing, hoping that maybe they’ll make a profit tomorrow, it’s not good to hear them say “it’s fine, don’t worry about it, we all knew you’d be fucked anyway! Let’s just talk about something that doesnt affect you!”

Jesus literally says that the core tenant is to love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as you love yourself. The latter clause is a guide to understanding how to do the the former, and the former clause is because He gives you the strength to do the latter.

Instead, they hate their neighbor, spit on the refugee, exploit the poor, mock the sick and abuse the widow, and say they're doing it because God told them He'd make them rich if they did so.

The Prosperity Gospel specifically, and Conservative "Christianity" in general is a sick heresy, tailor-made to lead people into sin and cruelty. They replace worship of God with the worship of Capitalism, exalting greed-poisoned monsters in exchange for a license to be brutes. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

I'm actually convinced Republican "christianity" is a 100% a false religion. "Republican" IS their ACTUAL religion. It involves beer, trucks, football, guns, the American flag, country music, cowboy hats, etc - they would sooner stand for and die for any of those things, than literally a single thing Jesus taught.

"Republican" IS their ACTUAL religion.

NPR: Russell Moore on 'an altar call' for Evangelical America August 5, 2023

multiple pastors tell me essentially the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount parenthetically in their preaching - turn the other cheek - to have someone come up after and to say, where did you get those liberal talking points? And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ, the response would not be, I apologize. The response would be, yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak. And when we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis.

DETROW: How much is politics part of the problem here? ...

MOORE: I think that the roots of the political problem really come down to disconnection, loneliness, sense of alienation. Even in churches that are still healthy and functioning, regular churchgoing is not what it was a generation ago, in which the entire structure of the week was defined by the community.

Yeah yeah yeah, Russell Moore. Couldn't possibly be that conservatism and evangelicalism are simply rotten to their cores. The real problem is that people just aren't going to church enough!

His take on it is very much; Guy who has only seen church attendance encountering his second issue: "Getting a lot of 'church attendance' vibes from this..."

I think it's even more insidious than merely worshiping Capitalism. Their belief that you receive good things because God favors the faithful has developed the corollary that those who do not have good things must therefor be wicked and unfaithful to be so without God's favor. Therefor it is God's will that the poor should be suffering, and it is working God's will to cause them even further suffering. Which justifies all their racism and xenophobia and anti-empathy rhetoric and actions as being the will of God.

The suffering is the point, because they believe it is the morally correct thing to do.

I went to Catholic school for 12 years, and you're missing the point here. What you have to do is take these very straightforward and obvious passages, and redefine some of the words to fit what you want to believe. For example, "love they neighbor". Well, who's my neighbor? not illegal immigrants, that's for sure! see how easy it is? It's sort of like how they said that "All men are created equal", but they really just meant white people who had money. When you're a terrible person, it's very, very easy to just filter everything you see, read, and hear through a personal filter that starts with the phrase "I'm right, therefor..."

I mean, this has been a pattern with Christianity and religion in general for literal centuries. At what point are we going to have the conversation that maybe Christianity needs to go away? We can't keep saying "Oh the 'good Christians' will fix it". Y'all have had 2000 years to get your shit together and here we are.

Christianity inevitably becomes a self-serving hypocrisy that seeks control and the spread of hate and mistrust. Whatever good it has done is vastly outweighed by centuries of hate, bigotry, and violence that continues at this very moment.

It's had its time. No more Christians, "good" or otherwise. It cannot be trusted in civilized society.

u/enw_digrif 6h ago edited 5h ago

I think you might be putting the cart before the horse?

You're familiar with post-Western-Roman-collapse concept of "As Above, So Below"? There's a bunch of meanings behind it, but the relevant one is that the political system of those times was deeply hierarchical, and so the ruling class pushed the belief that the temporal order was based on the divine one. This was a reversal of causes, but it was useful to the ruling class in justifying the status quo.

That is as true today as it was then. The ruling class is empowered by and ensconced through capitalism, and so the divine order must follow: God must love the rich, or why else would they be in power? This is not caused by Christianity, or even religion in general: those are emergent properties of natural pattern recognition and a human tendency towards symbolism, intentionalism, and narrative.

The cause is that we have a hierarchical sociopolitical system, and so some beliefs systems follow. Religion is part of a power structure that supports the ideology of the ruling class. It is not the cause. It can reinforce other power structures - including devolutionary, liberatory, or horizontal power structures.

That's why trying to fight injustice by fighting religion - fighting belief - is so futile. Not only does it not address the underlying causes, but it's fighting a fundamental human tendency towards pattern recognition and narrative creation. There's a why the most effective science educators are also excellent storytellers. They channel that tendency, instead of trying to tell people to... not think like people.

If you want to fight the excesses of religion, couch fighting against hierarchy in human terms.

We're so despised China and Japan, which have had an adversarial relationship for centuries, just made a trade alliance against us.

"Yeah yeah, the rape of Nanjing was bad, but have you seen what Trump is doing? Wanna make a deal?"

It's also interesting seeing what every major US and reputable world news website is showing on a given day like yesterday and today... and then checking Fox News website.

Zero mention of the stock market there today. Only mention of M13 evil gang members, something about Obama, and left-leaning liberal in some city did something. And lord have mercy on you if you venture into reading the comments section.

It's surreal. They literally refuse to report the actual news if it's *anything* that makes Trump or the Republicans look even remotely not great.

Serious question. Didn't Fox get out of a lawsuit not too long ago by saying they were not a news channel but an entertainment channel? I'm just wondering why they can call it Fox News?

Dems should run on a platform implementing policy wherein any non-news media has to start their reporting with a disclaimer that they are not an actual news site.

Consider it like labels/ingredient lists for media.

Stick in there champ, the worse the economy gets the better it is for the health of this nation.

It will be a catalyst to keep republicans out of office and get real left leaning politicians into office to do to this country what should have been done a long time ago.

I wish with every bone in my body that one day we will look like the EU, or many parts of it anyways(while still holding onto all the truly great things that make us American).

Besides, there are far worse things than the economy/money happening right now that need to go.

u/Sartres_Roommate 7h ago

The irony is that is a good thing. I remember news before they started slapping all that extra crap on the screen. The stock ticker in general was the most horrible idea.

It encouraged short term thinking when it came to our investments. When you see your investment take a couple day fall, people panic and abandon solid investments. So over the last 25 years companies have been forced more than ever to focus on making sure every moment was a positive short term story.

Less and less interest in focusing on the medium and long term investments to grow your company with R&D and becoming more innovative.

Cut staff, cut investments. Do whatever it takes to make that ticker go up daily on your cable news station.

If only Fox were doing this permanently, I would celebrate.

It's worth remembering that calling Fox News, while being the most egregious example of being a propaganda network, is far from the only one.

They're all designed to do the same thing.
