Religion is a malignant tumor on humanity

The first part of your comment may be true, but it's leaving out an important caveat: he's very much directly responsible for the current state of his party, and the rabid base he helped create.

I think that's some important context.

Ooohhh fanboys doing (presumably) unpaid PR work in the comments!

Does this mean lemmy has "made it"?

But I thought it was the left that's indoctrinating children?

That's what they need to convince their base in order to get them to support their indoctrination schemes. They've convinced so many people that simply teaching science and history is leftist indoctrination, and they need to combat it with their own propaganda.

Because America is a third world country with shiny veneers

And they'll still blame the left. These people will never admit they were wrong about this. They will go to their graves claiming climate change is a hoax, even as the world that they were meant to leave for their children and grandchildren literally burns around them.

We make our employees sign a form when they're hired stating that they will not mention our company or any of its employees on social media in a negative way. It's standard practice

The NLRB ruled that non-disparagement clauses are not enforceable

It's a clear violation of the first amendment... Also, referring to the company you work for as "we" while talking about firing another employee is cringe as fuck.

Imagine what humankind could have accomplished if we didn't have to divert the majority of our energy and resources to constantly beating back fascism and bigotry.

So much human potential spent holding back the same exact fucking thing every single time. We fought a world war over this shit almost a century ago! Why the fuck do we still need to constantly fight this shit. It's exhausting.

Edit: spelling/grammar

It's almost as if there's an entire class of (inordinately wealthy) people who have no reason to exist in the capacity that they do.

CEO's are so important to the functioning of a product that they don't even have to fucking understand the product itself. Why not give them shitloads of money?

Then why are they even still there? It's like they're so addicted to the small amount of irrelevant "power" they get from the position and they just can't give it up.

According to whom? What kind of world do you live in where there's some kind of overarching "force" with "targets" like that?

Maybe they never should have gotten rid of the porn...
