The Veiled Dangers of Christo-Fascist Propaganda: Deconstructing Fox News Headlines
The deception is brazen, woven mercilessly into what's often presented as unfiltered, unbiased journalism. As I begin dissecting the insidious overtones in the recent headlines from Fox News, I am alarmed at how easily I once was swept by their tales, finding solace in the hateful rhetoric they projected onto the masses. I express immense gratitude for the fortuitous epiphany I had, a 'Road to Damascus' moment, which opened my eyes to the grievous realities of what was once my chosen truth.
"Meghan McCain gives ‘final warning’ after VP Harris invokes late father: ‘I will start spilling tea’", screams one headline. Burdening the words with petty bickering, it distracts the reader from critically scrutinizing the policies and actions of the VP good or bad. It stirs the emotional pot, fostering resentment and division in the hearts of unsuspecting Americans rather than invoking a desire for informed discourse and healthy debate.
Another cites, "Trump rallies California crowd, says one answer from Harris ‘disqualifies her from running’". One can't ignore the perpetual effort to uplift the figure of Donald Trump, even attributing divine electiveness to him, a tactic used by Christian-nationalists marching towards the establishment of a theocracy. And let’s not forget the undercurrent of manipulation, painting a woman in power, VP Harris, as the villain without a justifiable context.
Then we have, "Gunman opens fire near Tennessee State University in deadly shooting, several hurt". Yet behind the story of yet another senseless act of gun violence, there is an eerie silence. There's no mention of better gun control, no introspection, no empathy, only an implicit notion that violence and discord are a part of our everyday life, a regrettable but inalienable part of the American experience.
As a Satanist, a truth seeker, and a newfound advocate for empathy, compassion, and religious pluralism, I implore you to examine the inflammatory conspiracy narratives served by outlets like Fox News, pieces of a larger machinery aimed at establishing a theocracy. This looming theocracy, driven by Christian-nationalism and the ultra-rich, threatens the safety and rights of the LGBTQ community, immigrants, and anyone perceived as the enemy of their draconian narrative.
Relentlessly question, reflect, and learn. Seize your 'Road to Damascus' moment, liberate yourself from the chains of hateful propaganda and grow towards understanding, empathy and love. Because I tell you, it's one hell of a liberating moment, a salvation of a kind! And remember, as much as it seems contrary, it is not Satan who is trying to subvert your agency, but those draped piously in the sheep-like garb of Christian virtue.
The powers of darkness, the self, and wisdom call on you to wake up, and with opened eyes and heart, illuminate the world around you.
