      Tradcathery has the fascist hallmark of being an obviously modern/modernist ideology that claims to be an ancient religious tradition. Tradcathery as we know it today is very online. EA is also very online, and increasingly sour about social liberalism. Match made in hell.

        I don’t remember what their deal was, but back before twitter’s undeath, jewish twitter used to get harassed by trad lutherans. They all had 🦬 in their handles, tended to have husbandfather profiles, and were so extremely online that I always suspected (as I do with tradcaths) that for most of them it was just a bit. No particular evidence that they were just trollsonas, except that they were SO online.

          eurgh. I think a lot of them probably delude themselves that they aren’t just posting. but they are just posting. they’re christians the way QAnon followers are political activists.
