>>46904365Nah, it has nothing to do with Christianity, Christianity was already a religion of self flagellation.
It literally all comes back to Russia/China.
>russia invades crimea in 2014>the west imposes sanctions on russia in retaliation>russia retaliates with cyber-propaganda by creating a multi-million dollar organization called Internet Research Agency which was aimed at causing western disinformation>such agency was aimed at causing the greatest discord among western states>some examples of what it did was supporting both black lives matter and all lives matter to worsen race relationships, sanders and trump to worsen political relationships, hard eurosceptic parties and green parties (also some demsocs like corbyn) to worsen the EU (russia's greatest enemy), and so on, all at the same time, knowing that those are at the extremes that would cause the most discord across the west>gamergate, flat earth theories, and various other alt-right adjacent and alt-left circles (ChapoTrapHouse, probably) were also part of this, arguably as a breeding ground for the larger political goalsAdd on China with the coronavirus, more disinformation campaigns (seriously check out /r/Socialism101, they will outright deny Uighur Muslim genocide and suppression) and the fact that non-Anglo whites tend never to get targeted even though slavery has been practiced by pretty much all ethnic groups and cultures and you can tell all that's happening is just the collapse of the American empire. And, well, it's succeeding, look right now at Mak'hia Bryant, who literally is being worshipped and glorified despite trying to stab a woman on camera. Americans are actively beginning to abandon reality and replacing it with the Internet.
All I know is that when the die is cast, I'd rather be on the winning side. Call me a shill, but really I'm just getting with the times.
