What Would an Evangelical Christian Country Be Like

That town Millis was the location of the longest and worst job interview I have ever encountered. Responded to some vague job ad about "direct marketing" and showed up at some little office in the suburbs, but still in the metro area. Talked to the guy, loved my spirit or whatever and wanted to advance to round 2 immediately, he wouldn't really say what exactly it was I would be doing. Sure I say, let's do round 2...next thing I know I am in the car with a couple of guys in suits heading to Millis. They were selling the job hard, without saying what it was. We get there, and it's the middle of nowhere and this was before phones had internet, so no real way to figure out where I am. We get out and then I learn the awful truth....I showed up to an interview to sell coupon books door to door. I couldn't leave. Didn't have a way back to the city. So my interview was just walking around this hamlet wearing a suit trying to sell coupons to bored housewives for 9 hours. Worst interview ever.
This is why I love the internet. So much easier to escape a scam with a couple seconds of googling.

How many coupon books did you have to sell to move onto round 3?

I had to be polite, they were my ride, there was some sort of break even minimum they had to flip. God, its bringing back memories. They shared their marketing expertise and tips, all about hustling grocery store parking lots, big money, yadda yadda.

Seems to be the new racist ploy is to pretend like it is the other person who starts filming that is out of line.

I saw one earlier with a lady telling some guy to go back to his hood and when he started filming she acted all innocent after trying to smack the phone away.

As a person who spent many Sundays hearing the Gospel I disagree with the premise of this statement.
We knew how to act.
But because of our short comings needed "refueling" to help maintain ourselves for the future.
I will agree the view was a little narrow minded but I felt my heart was in the right place.
I cared about those around me and those who were "Lost".
I'm better now and believe it or not it was because I needed to know where Jesus came from, as a Jew.
Once I saw and experienced the push back of that thought process I knew I was on the right track.
Jesus as a Jew scares the christian foundation.

Best parallel I've heard was from a christian fellow, that going to church was akin to alcoholics anonymous, in that, you're all a little fucked up and need your weekly meetings to stay functional and focused. In that respect, go for it. But, to go for things you already know and are just looking for endless self-serving validation? A person would probably do better talking to someone in a more professional setting.

good article. I admit to susceptibility to my own biased belief that Facebook doesn't care about trolls or disinformation except to protect its profitis from them. So, this excerpt from the article you posted strikes home to me:

Facebook’s engagement-hungry algorithm simply shipped them what it “thought” they want to see. Internal studies revealed that divisive posts are more likely to reach a big audience, and troll farms use that to their advantage, spreading provocative misinformation that generates a bigger response to spread their online reach.


As the article said those troll farms taken together had 20 times the traffic that any legitimate site had. One must ask, was Facebook deliberately not seeing the troll farm, its fake news and its tactics? Aren't they responsible for the spread of disinformation by directing people to those sites?

Evangelicals have pretty much done away with Matt 5 - 7. They do not teach what Jesus taught about how to treat others. A bizarre cult.

I think the answer to your last two questions is yes.

Troll posts pay, and every hot disinformation post is cash in Z’s pocket. He is the news version of a Big Tobacco CEO and will actively seek to cover up that the big profit engine is stuff that is bad for the customer base.
