No true Christian would [heinous behavior] doesn’t work very well, when [heinous behavior] is basically synonymous with the brand.
If you’re asking for/requesting a soft spot for an AskAChristian community here, you should expect an abundance of difficult questions from people who came to lemmy, to get away from the wrath that is Christian love.
The movement seems to be more about expanding its base than informing or protecting them. Once ensnared, followers will reliably go to the polls, and vote the way they are told to vote.
Being staunchly antivaxx is detrimental to good health at the personal level, and at the public health level.
Based on real world outcomes, the antivaxx lobby gets enough of their base to vote as directed, to offset any lost votes due to base members dying for lack of protection from vaccines.
I mean, they kill off only a small portion of their base with bad advice, but get the political results that they want. Why would they care?
It's dark comedy for a tragically comic situation.
By definition, I'd say all of the jokes are in very poor taste, which is what makes them so funny. The specifics of this particular tragedy practically call out for grim comedy: Safety shmafety, Logitech, Blink 182 getting sucked into the spotlight, etc.
I do think that all the chatter about the disaster has underscored some critically important points:
Billionaires are just as stupid as everyone else. They are not exceptional people in any way.
If you're not a deep sea oceanography expert of any sort, you should keep your undersea adventures to much shallower waters.
"Hey Personal Assistant, can you give me the dirt sheet on this submarine company? I'm thinking of visiting the Titanic." Would have saved lives. Those tickets to an undersea adventure were a quarter of a million dollars per seat. I've done better due diligence buying a ukulele online than these halfwits.
Reddit was a popular street corner where everyone went to set up their soap boxes. You could go there, listen, hang out, or stand on your own soap box. The idea that the owner of the street corner also owns the soap boxes, and that the people standing on them are employees of the street corner is absurd.
Huffman has made it abundantly clear that he intends to handle the reddit community like he's the president of the world's shittiest Home Owners Association. What aspect of that would make anyone want to stay?
Now that I've left, and have easily replaced it with lemmy, with no discernable loss in entertainment value, why would I go back into that dumpster?
