Submit posts (from anywhere) where people unknowingly describe themselves.

Specifically, someone who, when attempting to mock or denigrate their political opposition, accidentally describes themselves. They aren't self aware enough to notice. Or, alternatively, someone who accurately describes the world while trying to parody it.

I miss r/radicalchristianity or whatever it was called.

Jesus was the person who got crucified by the state and hated by majority for he smashed those greedy fucks in the temple of his father, for he proposed love and compassion, for he opposed 'traditional' values of his time. He was tortured and died as a leader of peaceful resistance.

I still can't understand how it's possible to wrap it backwards and sideways to make it work against everything Jesus could vouch for.

Now, it seems, they just stopped lying.

When I went to church they didn't talk about that.

Same-y. I hear some local churches\priests gets this thing right by being a community center and keeping themselves open for discussion, but many are just for business and integrated in the bigger structure that is just a shill for political power. My orthodoxal branch in Russia snatched on some priests who were against the war or pro-human rights, as it's a long tradition of this church and others to be half-time employees in secret services. The current head of the church is said to be a legit KGB agent in the past, lmao.
