This is why I’ve become so much more capital-R Religious since the election. Not more devout or faithful (I’m likely worse— been feeling lots of wrath lately!), but I’m convinced that many of these people aren’t just lacking in virtue, they’re willing agents of Evil. Loyal servants of the Adversary.

it's sort of funny that people are arguing Will Stancil's theory of social media when it was already definitively proven long ago, as proposed and deftly coined by Richard "lowtax" kyanka who for all his faults I think accurately predicted the fate of mankind online
