    Like I said… You are giving examples of their side succeeding. I’m pointing to this as an example of our side failing. Two problems.

      Of course. I agree with your point conservatism is rising because of divisive stuff is out competing accurate information. I am simply saying the root cause of it is social media’s algorithm and their intentional amplification of divisive stuff. A joke on a t-shirt imo can actually help combat against the rise of division because in real life people are not really divisive and will actually talk about topics in a real and reasonable manner without the divisiveness of the internet.

      A joke like this a powerful way of getting people to think about how shitty religion’s takes are by simply changing who it refers to from gay to straight.
