I remember back in 2019/2020, I would joke on Twitter about Tulsi Gabbard being the most competitive Republican to ever run in the Democratic Primary, and some of the far-left would get angry at me because she had them tricked into her bullshit.
And, well, here we are.

As Jesus famously said, Love thy neighbor a bit less than thyself
I mean yes, there is such a concept in Christianity. It appears quite notably in the letters of Paul, for instance, where it’s a concept he *relentlessly* argues against, and in the Gospel where it’s a concept Jesus very much repeatedly scorns. So it is technically in there!
