"Until We Put God First"
FOREWARD
As a pragmatist, college graduate, and run-of-the-mill rational adult, I shun Facebook like antivaxxers court preventable diseases. Facebook, excuse me, "Meta," is where societal jetsam feigns possessing informed, unbiased, and nuanced opinions on everything from gender dysmorphia to election tampering. Facebook is the internet's premiere online open mic for bowling alley bartenders to wax intellectual on esoteric geopolitical developments decades in the making, spelling and grammar be damned. Facebook is an echo chamber wherein dropouts and washouts become the next American Idol by targeting equally tone-deaf amateur audiences, and where mom's basement-based conspiracy theorists swear by outlandish scenarios they lack the CV, passport stamps, service rank, graduate degree, or security clearance to have acquired, much less fact-checked. It wasn't easy, but, last presidential election cycle, I retired from the "laying waste to false, ignorant, and hyper partisan social media content" game. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
