I hate how the Bible is being used as a nationalist prop. Nationalism was a theme of the old testament and Jesus called his followers to move beyond national identity. But that’s how fascism works, it apropariates instead of actually creating something new.

They only start caring once their own children come of the closet. Not a minute earlier

Is that a generalization though? Seems like if there’s an exception then it proves the rule. Conservatism isn’t an aesthetic choice, it is a belief structure that hierarchies are not just good, but they should be set in stone.

OP isn’t stating they can’t change, but it has to personally happen to them in order for them to get perspective. That means the education or activism has to come from someone they already care about for it to matter. This is why when my ultra conservative Dad visits, we all go as a family to the most queer Church in town.

Nah, we just need kids to play war video games as training data for AI killing machines. Congress might pitch it as an AI jobs program.
