What is the difference between a constitutional republic and a democracy? By definition, a republic is a representative form of government that is ruled according to a charter, or constitution, and a democracy is a government that is ruled according to the will of the majority. We are both a constitutional republic and a democracy. Furthermore when POTUS violates the constitution then their argument falls to pieces. According to Wikipedia, Algeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, North Korea, Laos, Nepal, and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic are examples of republics that are not democracies.

The comments about church being the only last community space is hitting different for me. My brother is very brain broken and has become extremely devoutly Christian after another psychotic break. He goes to the Russian Orthodox Church multiple times a week for hours because his DUI charges stop him from going much of anywhere else. He's not in college anymore and most of his friends have left him because.... Obviously. Even his family doesn't like him much, but he seems to only find community at church. It's sad and I have no idea what to do.
do what you can to help him out, and show him how what he's doing can be dangerous to him. he doesn't need to suffer on his own accord. he may not have many people left, but plenty of people do still care about him and want him to be okay.
I joined The America First community after I got out of Jail, all the leftists I worked with turned their back on me. Christians are the only ones who haven't. Run as far as possible from the left, they don't care about people like me or your brother.
Yeah, what actually happens is when people bring up christianity people will critically dunk on it and theists will feel a bit sadge and discouraged and vulnerable in their foudnational beliefs. It can be very traumatic. Relgiions aren't sustainable and we should discourage it from birth, and not hope that reality will just be nice to their bullcrap when they get older or that the ignorance and constant gaslighting is internalised enough to hold up the delusions against all criticism.
I don't think these people have ever met an atheist, they are just seeing the image their religious leaders painted for them, and it seems to be the image of a nihilistic sociopath. What scares me about religion is its effect on people who are gullible. They don't just believe in a God, they tend to believe everyone they are told to believe and they do it because that is what they have been taught.
Not Christians but conservatives. These people don’t go outside their community that much. Isolation and insecurity breeds this alongside American’s atomization culture.
Right but this is also far from the common response these people have. They're being asked questions in front of a camera and are very aware of it. My family is pretty much all Christian nationalists and were ardent Tea Party supporters. Around the time that they were active in the Tea Party movement I happend to wear a shirt for the band Goatwhore that said on the back "who needs a god when you've got Satan?". They never said anything to my face just plotted behind my back and managed to get my grandmother to evict me, my mother and my sister because they decided I was evil. You have to consider who these people are when they aren't being forced to have a public face.
If they have been to a Trump rally, they have seen an open atheist speech in public. Trump once said “I’m too smart not to be an atheist” (yes, he’s a Reddit atheist) in the 90s.
The main thing these people truly want to attack are atheists, eastern or "primitive faiths" and antagonists of monotheism. The monotheism is important here, because there personified masculine monotheism is the cultural paradigm.
Thats the only reason why anyone on the left votes for him. Lesser of 2 evils, cause trump getting in means this nutjobs can basically do whatever for 4 years.

And Vaush recognizes that liberals are fashy lite, yet still shills for folks to vote for them because someone like himself isn't directly targeted by liberals. I refuse to vote for my own comfort while others suffer. Nothing will change until the comfortable are made uncomfortable.

23:53 “Reminder that Genghis Khan invited priests of every religion to his court so he could hedge his bets.” Sort of? The Mongols under GK were shamanistic, so they believed religion and spirituality were tied to the land you came from and didn’t expect anyone to convert to his religion. Instead, he strategically placed people with talents and aptitudes for things he didn’t particularly care to micromanage, like financiers to handle logistical supplies for the army or clergymen to minister the lands he conquered.
Judaism did not start as a monotheistic religion. The accepted position is that it was a polytheistic religion that eventually morphed into a monotheistic religion. This is why there are instances in the Torah where it refers to gods plural.
Monotheism was just a defense against Romes method of making your gods their gods on par with the emperor of Rome “You shall have no god before me” That means no getting absorbed into a pantheon, that means no getting put on the same level as Caesar It was a clever philosophical technology
@blasttyrant3228 People are of course free to dress however they want. It's largely a matter of social norms. Most people anymore are just slobs, for better or worse. Donald Trump, for example, wears his ties much too long. Regardless of the fact that he usually wears a suit, he is not a man who knows how to dress well according to the "rules" that people who care about "dressing well" follow. I mean it is largely arbitrary, but I can just look at Trump and see that he is an ignorant slob that doesn't know where a tie should go down to. If you really care about how to be a well-dressed man I would suggest consulting Esquire magazine. If you don't care I would suggest you just follow common sense rules like don't wear a wife-beater to job interview. In the case of wearing a tie with button-down shirt, that type of shirt is considered too informal to wear with a tie. I believe Brooks Brothers refers to their button-downs as "Polos" which is meant say it is an informal, sporty, everyday shirt.
Yep, like Vaush said, these people can't think. Any complex thought beyond not sticking a spoon in their own eye while eating is just too much for them. They just repeat sounds they hear, like a toddler, and they never got past the egocentric phase that most 3yo's will grow out of.

The separation of church and state is a philosophical and legal concept that defines the political distance between religious organizations and the state. The concept is enshrined in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion". This is known as the establishment clause and prohibits the government from creating an official religion or favoring one religion over another. The First Amendment also includes the Free Exercise Clause, which protects citizens' right to practice their religion as they choose. Thomas Jefferson later used the metaphor in a letter, referring to a "wall of separation" between church and state. In 2021, a Pew Research survey found that more Americans support church-state separation than church-state integration.
Fear drives most of them. Hateful people use that to brainwash them because they’re simple minded people. Speaking as someone who was raised exactly this way. A desire to learn and travel, and eventual access to the internet opened my mind. There are still people in the area I grew up that don’t have access to even basic internet because they either can’t afford it or they’re too far off the beaten path. What they know is very limited to what they learn from their parents and elders. And very conservative school systems, or homeschooling.
It's not just your regular Christians either. The JW's have raised some of the dumbest people ever. A friend of mine, super nice guy, pretty smart with normal stuff but WOW does he drop the ball with anything that isn't a trade craft. One day I said something so extremely over the top that even he'd know I was joking and he totally agreed with me. A friend was there and just shook his head in shame.
The bit about fallen angels pretending to be gods bears some similarity to the Stargate franchise (specifically Stargate SG-1) and the Goa'uld from that show. They were aliens that inserted themselves into the cultures of those they oppressed by pretending to be gods. Most of the ones we see in the show are styled after the Egyptian gods. The implication is that the population of Earth, or at least some of it, was enslaved by the Goa'uld in the past, and the Egyptian pantheon is how our history remembers those events. There's an arc in that show that runs in the background for multiple seasons that basically amounts to convincing large numbers of people that the Goa'uld are not gods. It's a great show.

Christianity ended slavery, Christianity changed the Roman Empire for the better, was radical in value of women, and provided so much freedom in history. Atheism has provided more genocides and dictatorships in history than any other view point. Stalin, XI ping, Hitler, all atheists. You can not say human beings all have objectively equal value without God. It is all relative if atheism is true. But Christianity says every human being is equally valued because we are all made in the image of God. Everyone should be treated with value and respect according to Christianity and we are taught to love our enemies. Where as this guy speaks hatred towards people who disagree with him, so which viewpoint is truly more loving.
Look around us if America was truly a Christian Nation, We would Forgive Student Debt. We would Guarantee Healthcare to every single person. We would Love all our LGBTQ neighbors.

(Actually neither should be posted).
The Young Samurai books had an interesting perspective on this. When the main character, a young Englishman shipwrecked in Japan, suffers internal conflict between his original Christian beliefs and newfound Buddhist perspective, his instructor presents the idea of all faiths as "individual strands in a single grand tapestry."
@@chargoond True but I don't think a lot of people were voluntarily Atenists though, Akhenaten himself was very devout of course and tried to suppress/force people into it to the extent that the religion was almost automatically revoked after his death because basically no one earnestly fucked with it outside of him, so that's still not a lot of monotheistic people. Zoroastrianism is more close to being the first significant monotheistic religion.
I think this is an urban Richmond population of right-wing activists, who are used to sharing space with liberalism and have an idea of what to say around perceived liberals.
The Bible was taught in schools when I grew up. So was the Koran. It was history class. If schools aren't teaching religion, they've really gone downhill.
When these people say they want the Bible to be taught in school they mean, it should be taught as an unquestionable fact about the universe, not in a historical study sense or a comparative religion studies sense.
My school taught me much about religion and one of the things that stuck with me was that people use a book of love to try and justify strapping other people to cannons and blowing their limbs off, as you could imagine that isn’t something I want to be associated with. Too much death stemming from an interpretation of a little book that’s gone through a massive game of general telephone.
I think the main issue is that they ONLY want the Bible to be taught; and not as a piece of context in why certain historical figures were inspired by it. They don't like the part where political figures used their own "interpretations" to knowingly create harmful laws aimed specifically at purposely killing/oppressing groups of people they didn't like. Throughout history it's a widely known fact that human horrors, such as slavery for a good example, were justified by interpreting the Bible and how they weaponized it. As someone else has stated here, playing a game of generational telephone and dictating laws based on the results of the game is, most certainly, not a good idea.
You're asking this question rhetorically, yes? The Christian position (and I'm not speaking to any 1 sect that I say "Christian", this is true across the denominations) is that the Big Man Upstairs is the only true god, the only one to exist, those other religions *_aren't_* legitimate, or if they _must_ admit to the existence of those faiths' deities, it's that their deities are actually demons or other such talk. This element of Christianity, the intolerance of other faiths, has existed since it's inception, is baked into it's earliest texts, see: every single one of St. Paul's letters xD! - Sincerely, a born and bred Catholic.
The persecution complex is actually a fascinating example of cultural memory. The complex stems from ROMAN TIMES when they genuinely were persecuted. That feeling of persecution became such a core part of Christianity that it has LONG outlived the persecution itself.

Exceptionalism and essentialism - because of the extremely lucky geography of the US they've never had much real interaction or strife with any other group of people on a human scale. The first nations got steamrolled because of the technology disparity inherited from being a European colony and the colonists carried that jingoism through to their individualism and believed that because they happened to be born somewhere good they personally have some blessing from a deity.
I hate how you ask them a question, and it just reverberates against their hallow skull. They've never thought further than how to count on their fingers.
No, in the old testament (the oldest parts of it, to be precise, since it wasn't all written at the same time), the other gods weren't viewed as fallen angels. They acknowledged other gods, but YHWH was the Jewish God and they couldn't keep any other. Baal is mentioned and never as a fallen angel. Also, that part of the bible, and the fact they had to write it down, suggests that early on some Jews were indeed worshipping gods besides YHWH and that at some time the religious elites wanted to stomp it out. As you should know, the Old Testament god is not a loving god. He's a rough guy. And everything negative that happened to the jews, they thought it was because they were not worshipping their god right. So in time you see them adding new stuff in an attempt to please god and stop the drama.

Instead, he strategically placed people with talents and aptitudes for things he didn’t particularly care to micromanage, like financiers to handle logistical supplies for the army or clergymen to minister the lands he conquered.
Judaism did not start as a monotheistic religion. The accepted position is that it was a polytheistic religion that eventually morphed into a monotheistic religion. This is why there are instances in the Torah where it refers to gods plural.

He is right about the shirt, though the primary reason that shirt is wrong is that a tie shouldn't be worn with a button-down collar, ever.
Can you explain why, I normally don't care about the fashion stuff but I've never heard of that before, why is a button down shirt wrong there
@blasttyrant3228 People are of course free to dress however they want. It's largely a matter of social norms. Most people anymore are just slobs, for better or worse. Donald Trump, for example, wears his ties much too long. Regardless of the fact that he usually wears a suit, he is not a man who knows how to dress well according to the "rules" that people who care about "dressing well" follow. I mean it is largely arbitrary, but I can just look at Trump and see that he is an ignorant slob that doesn't know where a tie should go down to. If you really care about how to be a well-dressed man I would suggest consulting Esquire magazine. If you don't care I would suggest you just follow common sense rules like don't wear a wife-beater to job interview. In the case of wearing a tie with button-down shirt, that type of shirt is considered too informal to wear with a tie. I believe Brooks Brothers refers to their button-downs as "Polos" which is meant say it is an informal, sporty, everyday shirt.

What’s more un American than wanting to establish a national religion, like wasn’t the whole point of the U.S. to not do that
Yes!!
The separation of church and state is a philosophical and legal concept that defines the political distance between religious organizations and the state. The concept is enshrined in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion". This is known as the establishment clause and prohibits the government from creating an official religion or favoring one religion over another. The First Amendment also includes the Free Exercise Clause, which protects citizens' right to practice their religion as they choose. Thomas Jefferson later used the metaphor in a letter, referring to a "wall of separation" between church and state. In 2021, a Pew Research survey found that more Americans support church-state separation than church-state integration.

Speaking as someone who was raised exactly this way. A desire to learn and travel, and eventual access to the internet opened my mind.
There are still people in the area I grew up that don’t have access to even basic internet because they either can’t afford it or they’re too far off the beaten path. What they know is very limited to what they learn from their parents and elders. And very conservative school systems, or homeschooling.
It's not just your regular Christians either. The JW's have raised some of the dumbest people ever. A friend of mine, super nice guy, pretty smart with normal stuff but WOW does he drop the ball with anything that isn't a trade craft. One day I said something so extremely over the top that even he'd know I was joking and he totally agreed with me. A friend was there and just shook his head in shame.
JW, LDS, Mormonism are just white supremacist doctrines dressed up as religious nonsense.
The bit about fallen angels pretending to be gods bears some similarity to the Stargate franchise (specifically Stargate SG-1) and the Goa'uld from that show. They were aliens that inserted themselves into the cultures of those they oppressed by pretending to be gods. Most of the ones we see in the show are styled after the Egyptian gods. The implication is that the population of Earth, or at least some of it, was enslaved by the Goa'uld in the past, and the Egyptian pantheon is how our history remembers those events.
There's an arc in that show that runs in the background for multiple seasons that basically amounts to convincing large numbers of people that the Goa'uld are not gods. It's a great show.

Christianity really was the biggest hurdle to human freedom. It’s insane how clear all of it is. Very frustrating inde indeed
Christianity ended slavery, Christianity changed the Roman Empire for the better, was radical in value of women, and provided so much freedom in history. Atheism has provided more genocides and dictatorships in history than any other view point. Stalin, XI ping, Hitler, all atheists. You can not say human beings all have objectively equal value without God. It is all relative if atheism is true. But Christianity says every human being is equally valued because we are all made in the image of God. Everyone should be treated with value and respect according to Christianity and we are taught to love our enemies. Where as this guy speaks hatred towards people who disagree with him, so which viewpoint is truly more loving.
Look around us if America was truly a Christian Nation, We would Forgive Student Debt.

I think this is an urban Richmond population of right-wing activists, who are used to sharing space with liberalism and have an idea of what to say around perceived liberals.
The Bible was taught in schools when I grew up. So was the Koran. It was history class. If schools aren't teaching religion, they've really gone downhill.
When these people say they want the Bible to be taught in school they mean, it should be taught as an unquestionable fact about the universe, not in a historical study sense or a comparative religion studies sense.
My school taught me much about religion and one of the things that stuck with me was that people use a book of love to try and justify strapping other people to cannons and blowing their limbs off, as you could imagine that isn’t something I want to be associated with. Too much death stemming from an interpretation of a little book that’s gone through a massive game of general telephone.
I think the main issue is that they ONLY want the Bible to be taught; and not as a piece of context in why certain historical figures were inspired by it. They don't like the part where political figures used their own "interpretations" to knowingly create harmful laws aimed specifically at purposely killing/oppressing groups of people they didn't like. Throughout history it's a widely known fact that human horrors, such as slavery for a good example, were justified by interpreting the Bible and how they weaponized it. As someone else has stated here, playing a game of generational telephone and dictating laws based on the results of the game is, most certainly, not a good idea.
I had a teacher try her best to not teach us evolution because she thought it was just a theory
They keep bringing up the Abrahamic religions but what about Buddhists, Hindus, Shinto etc. What about those religions that people follow??
You're asking this question rhetorically, yes? The Christian position (and I'm not speaking to any 1 sect that I say "Christian", this is true across the denominations) is that the Big Man Upstairs is the only true god, the only one to exist, those other religions *_aren't_* legitimate, or if they _must_ admit to the existence of those faiths' deities, it's that their deities are actually demons or other such talk. This element of Christianity, the intolerance of other faiths, has existed since it's inception, is baked into it's earliest texts, see: every single one of St. Paul's letters xD!

The persecution complex is actually a fascinating example of cultural memory.
The complex stems from ROMAN TIMES when they genuinely were persecuted. That feeling of persecution became such a core part of Christianity that it has LONG outlived the persecution itself.
I dont want MY life dictated by a bronze age fairytale interpreted by idiots
I think a percentage of these people will not say their hate out loud in front of a camera and/or stranger because it would make them look bad.
These folks are why I started purchasing firearms. Must be ready to defend oneself.
Right bc it was whte Christian’s that were Burning looting and murdering a few years back 🤦🏼
The second someone says they are religious (I don’t care which) or conservative, or Republican or a trump supporter - they vanish. They are invisible. It’s an amazing talent. I can’t hear them or even see them. It was like they were never there to begin with.
You should get your eyes checked. It must be hard to watch tv. Do you ever bump into the people you can't see?
@@AlexanderNayebi im good. Lol.
You can SEE the doublethink in them literally dystopian

From the UK, this reminds me of the Brexit debate, where people really had no idea what they were talking about, but had a lot of feelings.

"a fine addition to my collection"
I thought the same thing lmao
so why do americans blieve that god cares about the US? jesus has never been to the US, he didnt even know the continent exists.
Exceptionalism and essentialism - because of the extremely lucky geography of the US they've never had much real interaction or strife with any other group of people on a human scale. The first nations got steamrolled because of the technology disparity inherited from being a European colony and the colonists carried that jingoism through to their individualism and believed that because they happened to be born somewhere good they personally have some blessing from a deity.
I hate how you ask them a question, and it just reverberates against their hallow skull. They've never thought further than how to count on their fingers.
When there forces to view other people (brown people) as actual humans with rights and freedoms their whole argument falls apart
The moral majority has finally found their godly hero and it fits so well.
This is exactly what my brother is like, it's as though words just mean whatever the hell he wants them to mean.
No, in the old testament (the oldest parts of it, to be precise, since it wasn't all written at the same time), the other gods weren't viewed as fallen angels. They acknowledged other gods, but YHWH was the Jewish God and they couldn't keep any other. Baal is mentioned and never as a fallen angel.
Also, that part of the bible, and the fact they had to write it down, suggests that early on some Jews were indeed worshipping gods besides YHWH and that at some time the religious elites wanted to stomp it out.
As you should know, the Old Testament god is not a loving god. He's a rough guy. And everything negative that happened to the jews, they thought it was because they were not worshipping their god right. So in time you see them adding new stuff in an attempt to please god and stop the drama.
These people really aren't as insane as I thought they'd be. You should absolutely still vote though, because intentionally or not they are actively working toward the oblivion of all marginalized peoples.
Forget state mandated girlfriends, state mandated gods are in.
People completely overwhelmed by fear and hate. Extremely dangerous.
that guy on the right of the thumbnail looked like kurtis conner
