That’s what happens when you put people in leadership positions who earnestly believe that empathy is a ‘fundamental weakness’. Ya know, ignoring that empathy is precisely what’s made us successful as a species in the first place.

LillyPip@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Today's Supreme Court Decision on Age Verification Tramples Free Speech and Undermines Privacy5·8 days agoAnything from the Discovery Institute or the stuff aimed at kids by PragerU is usually a good start. Materials by Creation Ministries or any of the christian textbook companies is good, too.
I don’t have specific video links, but like I said, it doesn’t matter much. If you search for ‘christian curriculum’ or ‘christian textbook’ you’ll see many various examples.
e: they can speak for themselves just fine.
LillyPip@lemmy.cato You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK - Prune juice helps with constipation, but don't drink too much of it171·10 days agoMaybe even supplement with pedialyte if it’s been excessive.
It’s serious. They’ve been threatening this for years, but were blocked in various ways. They’ve spent years breaking all those guardrails.
e: this will show whether all the guardrails are gone (it kinda looks like they are)
LillyPip@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•US to withdraw from NATO under Republican billEnglish65·10 days agoThis took longer than I thought it would. It seemed like a priority during trump’s 1st term, then it stalled.
Given some of Putin’s comments lately, he seems increasingly restless. I wonder if this is related to that?
LillyPip@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Today's Supreme Court Decision on Age Verification Tramples Free Speech and Undermines Privacy3·10 days agoI have an older phone and I’m not up to date. It’s probably a ‘me’ problem. Thanks, though!
LillyPip@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Today's Supreme Court Decision on Age Verification Tramples Free Speech and Undermines Privacy4·10 days agoA very large faction has been weaponising that indoctrination against others, and it’s been increasingly effective.
I am heartened that it didn’t work on you.
LillyPip@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Today's Supreme Court Decision on Age Verification Tramples Free Speech and Undermines Privacy2·10 days agoOkay, thanks. It doesn’t want to load properly in whatever built-in mobile browser Voyager is implementing.
I might make a community…
LillyPip@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Today's Supreme Court Decision on Age Verification Tramples Free Speech and Undermines Privacy5·10 days agoThat’s certainly what it was at first, but we’re talking about people who have been indoctrinated from birth for generations.
e: I strongly encourage you to watch some of their educational content. I won’t even try to guide you towards anything specific. Just any of it.
LillyPip@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Today's Supreme Court Decision on Age Verification Tramples Free Speech and Undermines Privacy1·10 days agoIs this federated? I use Voyager on iOS exclusively, and that link doesn’t resolve to a community for me. I searched for those terms on Lemmy and didn’t find anything.
If this doesn’t exist on Lemmy, I might start a community and dedicate my life to it.
LillyPip@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Today's Supreme Court Decision on Age Verification Tramples Free Speech and Undermines Privacy8·10 days agoThat’s true, but again, not consciously. They think of themselves as morally pure, and they’re only following their god’s word. It’s not their fault that others are wicked, and they’ve tried to save us from hell.
That’s why we can’t reach them. They think they’re the righteous ones, and will think that long past when they’re literally lighting the fires upon which they burn us.
LillyPip@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Today's Supreme Court Decision on Age Verification Tramples Free Speech and Undermines Privacy14·10 days agoSorry, I guess I wasn’t clear.
The Heritage Society has thought this through – I meant rank and file republicans haven’t. Thus my original comment about people going Pikachu face when this shit happens when it was all spelt out in Project 2025.
It’s infuriating that most people had no idea what they were voting for, but that’s true. It’s also true that many would still deny it whilst ruffling the ashes of their neighbours from their hair. And they won’t acknowledge it in the future, either.
e: sorry, my fault; rereading, I see I switched between ‘they’ meaning the leadership vs the majority of constituents mid-sentence.
e2: this is exactly why citizens in towns near the Nazi’s death camps were made to walk through and look at what they’d done, by the way. People refuse to reckon with their decisions unless made to look.
LillyPip@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Today's Supreme Court Decision on Age Verification Tramples Free Speech and Undermines Privacy132·10 days agoTo be fair, though, popular myths are what led us here.
Ancient Aliens is the perfect gateway to anti-science, which gave us figures like RFK Jr who now has the power to fuck all the progress we’ve made in the hundreds of years since vaccines.
Creationism is now being taught in public schools, which undermines centuries of science. Public science is being dismantled, all for their rapture fantasies.
They’re not hiding climate science because they disagree, but because they think it’s a sign of the apocalypse and a good thing, so they don’t want people to fight it.
They’ve said this out loud, many times. It’s all on video. Again, Pikachu face.
LillyPip@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Today's Supreme Court Decision on Age Verification Tramples Free Speech and Undermines Privacy76·10 days agoI don’t think they’re thinking it through like this. Yeah, that will likely happen, but I doubt this is an end goal they have. They don’t think things through like that. They’re reactionary, and trans people make them feel things they don’t want to feel, because Jesus watches them touch themselves. It’s really that simple.
The genocide is on the horizon, but most of them don’t know that – and won’t know it for decades afterwards. That’s why this is so dangerous.
e: look at the porn they watch then tell me this isn’t true. They think these are fetishes, not identities, because they’re devoid of empathy. It’s horrible, but if you understand this, their actions, however reprehensible, make sense.
LillyPip@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Today's Supreme Court Decision on Age Verification Tramples Free Speech and Undermines Privacy721·10 days agoI feel like nobody read Project 2025. Everyone seems all Pikachu face lately, when they’ve not only told us all this, but blatantly captured all the levers of power.
What did you expect they’d do?
Spoiler: VPNs will be outlawed soon.
LillyPip@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•People in wheelchairs zip-tied and escorted out of Capitol Hill office building during Medicaid cuts protest21·12 days agoOkay, but you said:
its mostly all Porn that are boedering on CSAM, or SA that have been blocked when i looked on the list.
What’s all porn, csam, or sa?
You replied this to my beehaw news community recommendation, and someone saying behaw is blocked from .world. Are you saying beehaw is those things? I’m very confused now.
LillyPip@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•People in wheelchairs zip-tied and escorted out of Capitol Hill office building during Medicaid cuts protest21·12 days agoRight, but is beehaw sketchy?
I’m not up on instances drama.
It would be cathartic for many of us, though.
