You have way more patience than I do, and I applaud that. I'm going to be charitable and assume this .worlder didn't bother reading the article beyond the excerpt, because it's way more upsetting if they did.

I had just watched a video on YouTube yesterday about how the CIA used missionaries and commodities to try to control indigenous peoples, and I was reminded of that when I read the article this morning. The world doesn't have to be this way, and it's beyond sad that so many people seem to think it can't be any better than it is.

It's even more ridiculous, now. Oh but that I had the patience of Cowbee!

Edit: also, thank you!

Was it the evangelism is a psyop video? That one is excellent.

Yes! Plus a longer video on Drew's side channel featuring a discussion with the same guest - they were discussing a particular indigenous group that has resisted conversion efforts for centuries.
