    I want this to be true, but it seems to be outlandish enough to fit today’s bullshit, not 2000s bullshit.

      Those were the days, when we thought GWB was the pinnacle of stupidity and maliciousness.

        He was never malicious. He was a puppet, like Trump. But, actually competent people were pulling his strings.

          Oh yeah, invading a country causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, suspending civil rights in his own country, instituting unprecedented mass surveillance and all that other shit that would take hours to spell out totally wasn’t malicious.

    in fairness to the prots, since they have no barrier to entry it is easy for non-prots to set up some kind of fake church or beliefs and then just teach other prots “this is the true protestantism”, which is what seems to have happened. like at one point previous prots probably didn’t believe like this, but “wronger” beliefs seemed to become more popular over time and become their mainstream
