@Badaccoubt@JustWow346 Like most evil supernatural critters, they only have power over you if you're afraid and lack faith in a higher power. Their supposed power melts away if you stand up to them with righteousness (like Dracula fleeing from a cross, etc)
@Badaccoubt@JustWow346 They're depicted as being quite stupid. Remember when one gets trapped in a pantry and can't figure out how to get out through a wooden door? They behave more like vampires or other supernatural creatures (in the "can't get in without being invited" types of limitations).
@DavidBanicaRO Subversive academics love to tear down your values, traditions, and cultures by undermining them and essentially doing the "nothing is real, history is a lie" shtick, as if they're just apathetic nihilists, when in truth they care DEEPLY and are just being disingenuous.
@DavidBanicaRO This is just standard tactical nihilism, where iconoclasts temporarily pretend that nothing matters and nothing is real, yet apparently it matters enough to them that they must compose whole videos about it to try to convince you of their positions.
@OkeyDoker@BostonFren_88 I think, also, that actors were viewed as inherently untrustworthy due to their knack for essentially lying for a living. Since you can never know when an actor is being sincere or just pretending, you have to doubt everything they tell you. And now they give political advice.
@hickman0000 When I first visited an Orthodox Church, I was relieved to be able to just stand in the narthex absorbing the Liturgy without being pressed by greeters or signed up for emails etc. Everyone is very kind and welcoming of course but it's authentic and not a forced sales pitch
@babybeginner@jamesjonesesq@AcheJ6 I have to disagree. My local FB Marketplace is full of boomers trying to sell antiques online without success. Mostly pianos, which they can't even GIVE away, but plenty of (quite beautiful) pieces of furniture, too.
@MrsMagdaBeard I'm thankful to live in an area far enough away from any major city that we don't get livestreamers or vloggers or whatever trying to bait people just trying to live their lives in peace. People shouldn't have to constantly worry about being part of some dumb youtube channel
