Putting away my petty for a sec and not pointing out how this wasn’t done via any decentralized social media platform — but I’m saying, this is all I want.

The situation in Nepal is incredible. The government tried to ban social media last week which led to violent protests and the prime minister ousted.
Gen Z protesters then met in a 100K strong Discord chat where they elected ex-chief justice Sushila Karki as the interim prime minister.

Notice how it’s always “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the verses about welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, not charging interest, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

I think we’ve been letting the general populace off the hook too easy with the disinformation/misinformation excuse.
Yes, it’s flooding the airwaves, but it’s also never been easier to check multiple sources.
Voters have to give a damn enough to fact check. I’ll never lower that very basic bar.
