When monetary gain is the only thing that matters, you're gonna get shit products and services.
We worship the dollar. That's the root of the problem.

We don't just worship the dollar, we literally elevate thieves and conmen and praise them for suckering so many people. They're just smart businessmen by fucking over the populace for their own gain.
And this is why family values and Christianity have disappeared in the US. It's not some liberal plot. It's not immigration. We ourselves have sold them so we can worship the dollar unimpeded by morality.
That's why xtians are perfect in a capitalist society - as long as they pray for absolution and acknowledge the "one true god", morality plays no part in their decision making.
They can be utter trash humans as long as they are sorry about it afterwards.
The veil is thin though - one of the commandments is that no other god comes before theirs; but they kneel at the altar of the dollar. The entire western world revolves around money, not that christ guy or his works and deeds. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.
They are what John Bunyan called, "Christians in silver slippers". Happy to have all the advantages of being recognized as good religious people when it's available, but just as happy to toss it all when the tide turns and Christianity is unfashionable or they can get something better.
The Gravel Institute folded? That sucks.
It was very poorly managed, and everyone got laid off in 2022. We've all been looking for work since then, but I've got a few irons in the fire I'll be releasing soon.
That fucking blows because you guys were doing great as a necessary antithesis to shit like TPUSA and the whole Ben Shapiro idiocy. I wish you luck on your next venture mate.
Very much appreciate that 🖖
Yeah, I had no idea. That's a real shame.
Paper wraps around rock.
Fun fact, I don't pay my hospital bills. Mostly because i can't bit (but), also if hospitals didn't want me skipping maybe they should fight for my rights. If we didnt live in basically a third world country it wouldn't be a problem. But hey the orange man is going to fix it all, right?.....

I bet he rolls this back:
Yeah, he probably will.
rules don't apply to these fools for some reason.
Hey, this got recommended to me yesterday after an Hbomb video! Cool to see the creator is on Lemmy
Hbomb has new videos? Last one was a year ago, haven't seen anything new
I was rewatching the Pathologic video lol
Where can we find your work and future videos?
My website has links to most of my works, or my linktree for the rest. I'll be releasing work with Jacobin Magazine soon too.

Would that I were so lucky. I am, in fact, Tymon Brown, for whatever that's worth.
Please say yes 🤞
