“R U TRIGGERED” and all its subvariants were radioactive toxic waste and turned a valid and important psychological concept into bullying vector that for a time had nearly universal acceptance.
I still see vestiges of “le epic bacon” out there but it’s mostly confined to aging :grillman: types and some :up-yours-woke-moralists: cultists and a few contrarian carninist edgelords that want to “trigger the vegans.” Yes I know all of the above have a lot of overlap.
I’m the opposite. American conservatism looooves to be the martyr. If you meet them with atheism, they’ll calcify in their beliefs because you’re proving their world view correct.
In my opinion, the only way to counter American religious conservatism is to explain to them how far divorcd their beliefs are from the actual words of Christ. There is plenty of revalutionary text in there, you just have to know where to look and how to frame it. I quote Acts to these heathens every single opportunity I get. I attribute quotes from Marx to Jesus, and I explain communism through the lens of Christ vison of his church. Just don’t say the word communism.
