Make no mistake about it: this is ENTIRELY because of religion, which allows the rich to fool the lower classes into hating groups that the magical books say are bad.

Sadly, if Democrats were a party in favor of workers and benefits and also gave angry speeches saying how gays and trans people were going to an evil afterworld of torture, the world wouldn’t be like this. The bulk of the lowest classes of society are not only scientifically illiterate, they are prejudiced, idiotic, and cruel. They deserve what they fucking get for their religious idiocy.

The problem is that there are good decent middle class people and some lower class people who don’t believe in fairy tale garbage religious myths and THEY are the ones that get massively fucked by this voting block of the ultra wealthy and ultra stupid, and since that voting block is over 60 percent, and the psychopathic upper classes won’t change and the lower classes won’t stop being stupid, political mobilization sadly will continue to not work until something like market collapse, environmental collapse, or some sort of destructive force changes things.

Even among the 40 percent of people not in that block of idiots and upper elites, there is still a large part that is religious and can’t name the enemy: it’s religion, it’s idiocy, it’s the psychopathic upper classes, and this moderate group of complacent people will doom us all.

There’s not really a good solution to the problem. Education doesn’t work on the religious, it just creates a group of people who can’t think critically and can claim to be educated. Violence won’t work when only 20 percent of society is willing to act and a large part of the religious 50 percent is armed and part of the police apparatus in society. The only thing that will change this is technology that somehow destroys or creates poverty specifically for the religious ignorant classes while passing over those who understand science and technology.

It’s hard to even blame the upper classes for exploiting the lowest classes when they are so stupid and unwilling to learn basic scientific thinking. Everyone religious is delusional and going to collectively destroy the planet.

There are phosh based phones and over time more people will hopefully switch to them, use them, and work on making them better. Phosh-based phones are currently are not as usable as something like GOS, but with Google challenging itself to become more and more enshitified in the interest in marginal tiny profit gains (even if it destroys their brand over the long term) nerds needs to band together prepare for an alternative. Part of this is going to be advocating for Apps that work in Linux mobile Phosh environments and just refusing to use containerized apks and part of it is going to be people doing what they can to support native linux phone apps that work well in Phosh.
