🧵SHORT THREAD🧵
The first half of 2023 was the golden age of Twitter/X.
Elon opened up the information flow.
And it was like we could breathe!
And speak!
No more bans for "misgendering."
Then, October 7th happened.
Delusional filth exploded.
It all devolved from there.

People previously banned under old Twitter's user rules were given free rein to foment...demons.
But the banned normies who used the "wrong" pronoun?
They learned just how much filth there was out there. They didn't see it as much before because it was often banned, too.

8. But it seemed to pale in comparison with woke institutional power from major sectors, where you might literally be fired from your job for correctly identifying the biological sex of a person! Or banned from Twitter (now X). My publication was frozen for 9 months for that.

9. Sure, much of the general public has become royally tired of wokeness, and even figures like AOC are strategically admitting that woke 1 was "crazy." Defunding cops? INSANE. Males in women's sports. BATGUANO CRAZY. Trans-ing minor kids? EVIL.

6. COVID-19 walloped the world in 2020, and we're all kind of still traumatized by that, I think. And the madness exploded online in so many different ways. The already redpilled (understandable to a degree, sure) became even more redpilled. And many went nuts. It was fraught.

5. That's the kind of cultural debauchery many conservative-leaning believers in Jesus have been resisting for a long time. Accusations of "white supremacy" and other nonsense were tossed at them, and they just tuned that crap out because it's insane.

3. That's oversimplifying it a lot, yes, but it's just nuts the amount of times people have been called haters and bigots and phobes and white nationalists and all kinds of crap and faced WILD and sometimes legal antagonism for...trying to be freaking normal!

A 10-POINT 🧵 on the MADNESS OF THE MOMENT
1. Ordinary, faithful Christians have for YEARS been slimed as bigots for believing normal things. Mostly from the cultural Left, which dominates the major institutions. It was (and still is) exhausting and obnoxious.

During what some call the peak woke era, perhaps from 2019-2022, it wasn't uncommon to be labeled as a "white supremacist" for, say, holding a standard Christian view on subject XYZ.
It happened to the most earnest, kind people I know.
It was nuts!
But now?

Living in a Book of Judges 17:6 and 21:25 world -- where everyone "does what is right in their own eyes" -- is...exhausting.
We're in such a world now.
The Lord Jesus Christ, his death and resurrection, is our only hope.
Put His Name on your lips.
He sees and knows.

Unlike the pre-social media fringe churches of old, whose reach was limited, these unhinged, uncouth men can now speak to millions, make a sizable grift, and distort the character of God and the Gospel, and at a huge scale.

Many lowercase-o orthodox Christian churches are battle-weary from having resisted progressive distortions of the Bible for years.
That's still a challenge. But this slop/chauvinist/dissident/telecasty far-right bilge that swirls is larger than most realize.
It's cancerous.
