I worry about my nephew. His parents are standard MSNBC-watching, RussiaGate-boosting, voting-blue-no-matter-who libs and I worry his teenage rebellion is going to be getting into chud and/or trad shit just to piss them off.

Damn. That's even more online and therefore even worse.
Didn't he try to slide into AOC's DMs on Twitter one time to explain some cringeworthy Reddit drama to her or something? My prince networks.
"Yeah, I'm uh, a South Park Republican. You drive a Prius? You're, uh, a gay hippie, hahaha. Fuck the environment, dude, you don't care about the environment, you just want a nice place to live. You're actually more selfish than me for caring about things. Human nature."
There's apparently an entire reserve army of fascist brony NEET labor, larger than the chapo userbase, sitting around all day with nothing better to do than place individual pixels on a dumb website and yet you comrades still downvoted me to hell in that one struggle session when I said it was a weird fandom full of maladjusted adultchildren. It gets lonely being the only person with correct takes around here.
me: rainbow capitalism is bad because it's capitalism
Rod Dreher: rainbow capitalism is bad because it's communism

It's a term from Northeastern (Iroquoian/Lenape/Algonquian) religious cosmology. Ignoring its cultural context and turning it into an ironic meme seems more than a little appropriative.
Are you Indigenous / First Nations?

7-0, jump in, progressive, +4 instead of +2 penalty, draw until you can play

I mean, Christianity is normative. It establishes that there's one right way (Jesus' teachings) and a lot of wrong ways humans are supposed to think and feel and act, even though humans are unique and no two human minds are going to consistently operate the exact same way. It denies difference.
Then there's the historical evidence. When you have groups like the Council of Nicaea voting on what's canon and what's apocrypha, it's hard to take it seriously as divine revelation and not just a human cultural product that was built up over years.
Esoteric self-help Matt is ehhhhhh not my favorite
The universe is too big, complicated, and old for any one religion to be able to fully and accurately explain it.
Also Jesus was overrated and his "love everyone" angle was an impossible denial of the full range and richness of the human condition (which includes negative things like anger, judgment, conflict, and affinity AKA loving some people more than others). To paraphrase D.H. Lawrence: we're moral animals, not moral machines.
If you want to, okay, but 90% of the time "being friends" actually means "biding my time until I can make a move on them again" for one or the other and that sort of dishonesty is just no good to anyone.
wot if "male sexuality" is not a monolith and different males have different sexualities
Fun is when you play a game I like. Not Fun is when you play a game I don't like. 😠
