And to be clear - there's lots of other discourse out there around topics I vehemently disagree with or find absolutely harmful, that are *not* engaging in this terrifying religiosity. This religiosity is a new, viral beast and it's taking over like early Christianity.

If you really think about it, having views on anything whatsoever is just like religion.

No, it's not, unless you define religion very broadly. I view religion as a self-sustaining cultural 'creature' with strong boundaries. It has to have a big distinction between them/us, it has to have a reproduction method (evangelizing, reproducing), and other things.

I feel the same. I keep reminding myself maybe it’s not as bad as it feels. That I’m just rubbing up against the extremes online

I want to believe that but I don't think it's true. I really, really don't. I am on the internet a lot and I deliberately insert myself into a wide variety of far corners and this is alarming me more than other extremism I've seen.

I don't claim to be good&virtuous but don't have tolerance for dishonest gaslighting. I'm tired of talking to gullible people who believe every lie they see on fox. It's not the bad opinions that bother me as much as the dishonesty that informs them. Reality isn't a cult.
