The religious right are a bunch of christo fascist assholes, we shouldn’t care what they’re butthurt about.
Why they get so much attention is beyond me; it only expands their platform and ragebaits more people.
Sounds like you've got it figured out. It drives engagement, clicks and views.
Well when you put it that way, it makes it sound like profit-driven news media is a bad thing
The uncomfortable truth is that that is what matters now. I wish equal attention was given to all aspects of the political spectrum but I guess it would end up in the same situation eventually because people love to feel outraged.
We absolutely should a) because they have a nasty habit of trying to make their displeasure everyone elses problem and b) because watching their conniptions when noone takes them seriously is fun.
I guess I mean we shouldn’t feel the need to be sensitive to their feelings.
I dunno, I kind of care because I find the things they get butthurt about tend to be quite interesting and worth watching/reading.
In the quoted text there's some psycho fantasizing about forcing everyone to say what he wants them to say. "Every tongue will confess," holy shit. It sounds like some sick fuck who tortures people until they admit to crimes they didn't commit.
