  • You’ve not fought against it very well, have you?

    • You have school “voucher” schemes for religious schools, which do shit like teach kids that Evolution is wrong because of the bible.
    • You added “In God we Trust” do your money and added “Under God” to the pledge of allegiance in the 1950s (The pledge, with or without it, is in itself a form of state worship).
    • You have had presidents (Reagan, Bush II) openly promote the idea that America is a Christian state through historical falsehoods.
    • One of the most powerful factions in your government are American Evangelicals who have used their power to promote religious based laws, especially against women and minorities.
    • Every President in recent times has had to show themselves to be openly Christian, with “not being christian (enough)” being a common attack strategy.

    And that’s just Christianity, if I was going to go into how you worship the state…

    • You have Four Faces of Presidents carved on a literal sacred mountain.
    • You make your kids pledge allegiance to the state every morning (I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands).
    • You have two (2) congress funded art pieces that depict George Washington as a God (Washington Enthroned and The Apotheosis of Washington), the latter of which is in the oculus of the Rotunda at Congress for everyone to see.
    • The Lincoln Memorial is straight up designed like a Greco-Roman Temple.
    • You have, as a social norm, displaying your flag outside your house.

    How is that not going to be interpreted as “religious”?

    Now, I know someone is going to be all “lol aren’t you from the uk where you worship the royal family” well guess fucking what:

    1. Barely anyone in the UK worships the royals, especially where I’m from (Scotland) and the people who do even in England are considered weird. Our relationship with the Royals as a country is usually one of aggressive irreverence. My family’s nicknames for the king includes “The Jug Eared Dwarf”, “Chuckie III” and “Tearlach an Chluas”.
    2. Despite having two (2) established churches (Church of England and Church of Scotland), non religious people make up the majority and the UK is aggressively secular.
    3. Despite the established religion and having the (in practice) head of state also be the (in practice) head of the Church, none of our politicians try and use religion to justify their bullshit and those who do are considered wankers.

    America, in the eyes of most of the world, is aggressively religious, not just in terms of christianity but also in worship of the state.


  • Teachers can make this backfire by teaching kids about how Jesus said, among other things:

    • Rich people don’t go to heaven
    • Jesus’s answer to religious people not wanting to see things was for the people complaining to pluck out their eyes.
    • How Jesus told his followers to sell their shit and give it to the poor.

    All things republicans hate because it goes against their ideals. Also they can talk about how in Acts it says Christians lived communally or just read James 5:1-6 verbatim.

    But I guarantee the schools will force their teachers only to read parts of the bible that the state demand, because it’s not about Christianity, it’s about using religion to control people.










  • Here’s how this is going to happen:

    1. Someone rolls out this technology, everyone of course, fucking hates it, especially since a lot of people have Youtube videos on for background noise.
    2. Someone else uses this tech for shock value, perhaps a company putting something horrific that people can’t look away from as a misguided way to get the ad in people’s heads.
    3. These incidents lead to either the US, EU or China getting up in arms and banning the tech.







  • OK so if you want my advice, if you wanna just try distros, use DistroSea. Let’s you try out distros in your browser. But here we go:

    On DistroSea

    • Debian: There’s a reason Mint and Ubuntu are based on Debian and it’s always good to try out just straight up Debian. I know people are going to be all “uuugh but Mint is basically Debian with extra steps”, don’t care, try Debian, you might wanna use it for other things too. If you are familiar with LinuxMint, you’re going to be familiar with
    • Bunsenlabs Linux: Successor to Crunchbang, an OpenBox Ubuntu Distro. If you want something ultralight and different, you might wanna try Bunsenlabs. I used Crunchbang back in the day, may it rest in peace.
    • Pop!_OS: Made for creatives and programmers, seems to be beloved, don’t really care too much, ubuntu based.
    • Fedora: Not a Debian/Ubuntu based system, instead a RedHat based system. Try it if you wanna check out a non Debian based system.
    • Lubuntu: Is XFCE too heavy for you? Try Lubuntu, which used LXQT as it’s desktop with an aim of being lighter than Ubuntu Mate or even Xubuntu. Aimed at old laptops and netbooks, and the website even brags that it can run on an rPi.
    • Tails: Are you doing shit you don’t want your ISP or Government to know about? Are you a Journalist or an activist? Well Tails is for you, designed to be installed on a pendrive for plug n’ play action, this distro does everything through the Tor Network. It’s also marketed to victims of abuse as well, but let’s be honest if you trust the government these days you need to look at yourself in the mirror.

    Not on Distrosea

    • PuppyLinux: Holy ball this is a blast from the past. This is not available on Distrosea but it’s available to download. It is designed to be tiny, and I mean smol. It’s an example of how you can get a functional, low resource load OS.
    • TempleOS: This is not a Linux distribution, it’s barely usable as an OS, but it’s legendary. TempleOS was created by Terry Davis, an extremely talented programmer and Schitzophrenic who created this OS to be the third temple of God. No I am not joking. It is, however, today considered a work of art by a troubled man.
