Lies are typically not interesting

Politico reports that Democrats are denouncing Facebook as right-wing content draws more engagement on the platform.

But Facebook says there's a reason why right-wing figures are driving more engagement. It's not that its algorithm favors conservatives — the company has long maintained that its platform is neutral. Instead, the right is better at connecting with people on a visceral level, the company says.

“Right-wing populism is always more engaging," a Facebook executive said in a recent interview with POLITICO reporters, when pressed why the pages of conservatives drive such high interactions. The person said the content speaks to "an incredibly strong, primitive emotion" by touching on such topics as "nation, protection, the other, anger, fear."

This is because truth is more engaging than lies.  Lies are usually bland, in order to cover up for some astounding truth.  Take for example Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  She lied several times about why she was in the hospital.  Turns out though, that she was undergoing massive chemotherapy treatments for cancer on her liver.  

The truth can sometimes be scary, embarrassing, or anger inducing.  But truth will always be more engaging because it points us towards the Truth, as opposed to lies that ensure the strength of our shackles.  

To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

John 8:31-32

Disconnect from the filth

As the system flails about to grasp at the final straws of it's survival, we need to remember that supporting it is to keep it's life support plugged in.  The system has Covid19.  The system is on a ventilator.  It's time to say your goodbyes, as curtly and short as is deserved, and pull the damn plug.

The system's goal is to survive without Christ, without morals.  The further it goes, the less it can rely on anything good, beautiful, or true.  It once sold it's wares to the Christian majority, then to the moral majority, then to the amoral majority.   The system then realized that even the amoral majority wouldn't gleefully throw money into it's pit any longer, you see the system craves enthusiastic support.  It then searched out the degenerate majority, and soon after turned to the degenerate minority.  The last 10 years has shown the left turning from their support of marriage as "one man, one woman" to wholeheartedly supporting trans kids.  Now we are at the end.  The system is seeking it's last bit of life support from the smallest segment that one would think possible, unapologetic pedophiles.   

Take a look at the Sex & Nudity description that IMDB provides for the new Netflix movie Cuties.

As Christians, many of us have supported the system far too long already.  Netflix is blatantly showing us that their target audience shrunk to what I can only pray is the final lowest common denominator.  They hate the good, beautiful, and true.  They hate Christ.  

It's time that we pull the plug.  Do not be part of the last bit of life support the system has left.  Disconnect yourself from the system.

It's not a lack of recognition, it's lack of Christianity and culture

When you don't have Christianity as your basis, you are likely unable to spot some truths even when you get so close.

The essential factor was my secret longing for the gift of recognition. But that’s not generally how the world works, especially for men. So why were my desires out of sync with reality?

It is not about introversion or extroversion, or poor self promotional skills.  It is that one has already fulfilled all his own personal needs selfishly.  It's what happens when you simply get lost in intellectual pursuits or in gratification of physical needs and you don't have a call to action.

In the end, he calls it a lack of gifted recognition.  I happen to think it's not a failure of recognition that will cause the wallflower way of life, but a failure to provide your children with a life of substance and meaning that is handed down through Christianity and culture.  One of the ways you can do this is by taking a vested interest in your children's education.

The inevitable victory

I encourage you to take time to express your gratitude for the abilities that God has gifted you in our fight against the world.  Remember it should be hard to be blackpilled when God's victory is already complete.

For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
