Yes, it's all culture war slop. "Elon Musk is the best!"

I'd much rather thousands of dollars of my taxes go overseas to provide art & culture, then billions going overseas as bombs dropped on Palestinian children. But that's just me. I'll always prioritize culture over murder.

Well said. The satisfaction & reassurance of being in a "righteous" group is very powerful. No matter the reality, the group reinforces itself & calms dissent. Like a terrible & warm blanket. Then it's very terrifying when you realize what you are & where you could be led. Thank you for the lesson, religious youth groups.
