Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Eradicates Anti-Christian Bias ERADICATING ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIAS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order establishing a task force to end the anti-Christian

Weird, I thought the government started a whole anti-Christian prosecution thing!

Oh wait, that’s right, it’s just to protect the bigots.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

‼️"The peoples of Central Europe have a duty to speak out when an independent country is under military aggression." Orbán said this in 2008 after Russia attacked Georgia, adding it’s especially Hungarians’ duty after 1956. Now he’s doing the opposite by undermining Ukraine in the EU and the US. Why?

I admit when the episode aired I fell for it and had to check if it’s really a thing.

I bet it’s also a deliberately false thing so they can tell how many people bought into it.

AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel
YouTube video by Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel

Worth a watch for the ouroboros effect AI slop is having on itself and how it could impact our world. I particularly love that this video is still making the point that it can be useful, just not a source of truth. Get your own facts before an AI model reads AI slop.

A series of four images with black text on a white background, containing a long reflective passage about how authoritarianism and oppression gradually take hold unnoticed.

First image: The text explains how small, seemingly inconsequential steps—each justified or regretted—prevent people from recognizing the larger process until it’s too late, comparing it to a farmer not noticing corn growing until it towers overhead.

First image: The text explains how small, seemingly inconsequential steps—each justified or regretted—prevent people from recognizing the larger process until it’s too late, comparing it to a farmer not noticing corn growing until it towers overhead.

Second image: A colleague explains how each act is only slightly worse than the last, leading people to wait for a shocking turning point that never comes. Fear, uncertainty, and the desire not to stand alone stop people from resisting. Outsiders seem content, and those who sense danger are dismissed as alarmists.

Third image: The text describes how, eventually, a small personal incident shatters self-deception, revealing that everything has changed—society, spirit, and morality. People accept things once unthinkable. Life feels normal on the surface, but principles have eroded. When realization comes, it’s too late—people are compromised by inaction.

Fourth image: The writer notes how friends drift away, meetings shrink, and isolation grows, weakening resistance further. The long-awaited great occasion for mass opposition never arrives. Instead, oppression progresses step by step, each act numbing people to the next. The example is given of Nazi Germany, where atrocities escalated gradually, making it harder to resist at each stage.

I first read it in November and I'm rereading it now. It crushing feeling the exact same things as this academic did. It's the same process.

Orbán is perhaps one of the most obvious betrayals of previous morality that a politician could ever do.

If Hungary still had a functioning opposition media at scale they would just play clips of young Orbán criticizing the politics of current Orbán just nonstop
