It is very clearly not actually a list of MAGA people. It seems to be actually a list of people who are interested in spirituality that's not Christian, or sexuality that's something beyond cishet monogamous marriage.

Really bizarre blocklist, I've got a bunch of moots there too (and just now followed a few more people because they seemed cool).

The last line in this is a complete lie. This is a fake & malicious list which contains several people who I know to be antifascist.

Peter Thiel being an unhinged flavor of Christian with an Antichrist obsession is far more relevant to his whole deal than who he's sleeping with is.

Seconding all of this.

He was nice to me when I came to Twitter feeling lost and scared and not knowing who to talk to about the violence and threats from Nazis that happened to me in my life. A lot of people were distrustful of me and I get that now but he gave me a chance.

Just found out Fredrick Brennan died. I only met him in person once, but I always had a lot of respect for his personal growth and ownership of his past. More than anything, I respected his commitment to changing himself for the better.

He was a good guy. So it goes.

Let's be real, they preach the Good Samaritan story from the pulpit as a token of what they know normal people value, but every fiber of their being longs to find ways to destroy anyone who has empathy and trust.

Thinking about how the ICE tactics of preying on people who care about their fellow human beings lines up with evangelical theology, and seeing people's outrage about the way that unwinds the whole fabric of society is giving me new clarity on how unbelievably toxic those people are.
