Maybe I was a bit hyperbolic in calling it propaganda but I'm sometimes
reminded that my state constitution says I can't run for legal office for lack
of belief in a deity nor witness in court. The chances that I'd have big
government sponsoring my view are much less than yours, hence why I used it.

>Spirituality is not a'silly idea', more importantly it doesn't cause us to
do crazy-bad things in general.

The "silly ideas" I referred to colloquially as those which are the subject of
AGNB's videos, not to spirituality.

And the "ideas" you pointed out as silly, two of which, were and are driven as
much by religious motive as secular.

I think the narrative of people using these subcultures as a way or fill the
void left by the lack of traditional societal structures that people used to
find meaning in life is spot on.

It's interesting how half of the people in these subcultures seem to be in on
the absurdity of it and the other half aren't but it doesn't really seem to
matter to a lot of them.

Or maybe they're finding meaning in the void that traditional structures
couldn't fill.

Most of AGNB is great, but I wish the protest videos at least included
resources from local jouranlists alongside it for context.

Especially the Minneapolis and Portland protest ones recently put up — they
showed a narrow slice of what was happening to drive home some really salient
points, but if you watch them and think "THAT'S what's it's like in there",
it's off base by quite a bit compared to the less entertaining local
journalists (or even just streamers with a camera on a pole) who've been out
there livestreaming, interviewing, and documenting for months instead of weeks
or days.

Context is important; I can't speak for Minneapolis, but the Portland protests
weren't just (and aren't just, and for most of the nearly 70 straight days of
them haven't ever been) about the federal courthouse or
over our heads.
