Why must this hurt so bad and be so true?
I came in here to say just this. I'm a Jewish clergyman, so I deal with this kind of shit a lot. The term isn't just brainwashing; it's actively seeking to erase Judaism as part of Christianity. It's shit like this, combined with Christian Nationalism, which makes me jumpy at first when someone identifies as a Christian.
I was long distance with my wife for over a decade before we started living in the same place. We stayed committed the entire time because we care deeply for each other, and wanted each other to get the education we needed. Did it suck to be apart that long? Damn right. But to say that it's human nature to cheat when not in the same place is BS.
This is what gets to me about those who don't vote or describe themselves as "apolitical," because politics is the impact of society and culture on everyday life. To be apolitical is to feel comfortable enough in everyday living to disconnect from society, most often because of the benefits of wealth and/or white supremacy.
I've been seeing a number of people talk about this laptop on Lemmy, and I can see why. I have dreamt of building out a laptop like my desktops, and these folks seem to be able to make it happen.

First thing listed in the article is control the message, which is done by controlling the media. Straight out of the fascist playbook.
I love that site! I've gotten so many books from there. Thanks for making sure more people know about it.
I recommend pairing that with Calibre to manage all the ebooks you get, and to convert them into useable formats for your device(s).
If no one was telling them it was broken, why fix it? That costs money, a cardinal sin against capitalism.
I don't expect the people running a company to have morals, because moral behavior is bad for business.
Leave it to the U.S to use and export munitions banned by ~120 other countries because they're practically a warcrime.
It's an old format, sir, but it checks out.
Liberal democracies love their dictators, as long as they remain theirs.
Thank you for sharing this. I had no idea of this practice. I can easily see how this form of monasticism can be beneficial and harmful.
