Y'all don't even know about the cult she grew up in

@TiredCliche Hare Krishna?

@Predictor Nope, radical offshoot of Hare Krishnas. Chris Butler's "Science of Identity Foundation"

@TiredCliche so what? I was raised an evangelical Christian, are you telling me that means I’m not an atheist now?

@CraigTalbert Yes, that's what I'm telling you. The thing I didn't say is exactly what I'm saying. I was raised an atheist and converted to Christianity, that means I am still an atheist. /s

A year ago she still credited Chris Butler as her guru, and her husband is in the cult as well.

She downplays it in interviews, but it seems like her religion has not changed.

@TiredCliche What's wrong with Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa?

@skibidist same things as any cult leader. Serve God by working for him for free, etc.

His blend of California surfer yoga and Hare Krishnaism strikes me as retarded. But if you think he's divine, suit yourself.

@TiredCliche Who knows, maybe this is the one true faith

I am kinda trolling, but also not trolling in that I don't clearly see how that's different to a Catholic parish, for example, just without the external organization

@skibidist The difference is that the Catholic parish has a 2,000 year old apostolic tradition that dates back to the time that a person rose from the dead.

Chris Butler's cult dates from a couple decades ago, and seems to be based on a gnostic interpretation of Hindu lore coupled with a heavy dose of Daoism and someone who read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" without thinking too hard about it.

Pretty different from my view.

There's not gonna be a single person who steps in the way of anything during this admin, and I really gotta update my priors on how stupid things can get from that

@Marnix Same, I dunno about you guys, but I usually never get stressed out about politics; but these past few weeks….

@SaiVazquez I'm extremely stressed, and can barely stop doom-scrolling.

@DouglasCampbell @SaiVazquez I think things will turn out a lot better than you expect.


The most undignified timeline cannot be circumvented.

Just going to go on record here and record my total obeisance to Russia and China. I misclicked with my no shares earlier.

@DouglasCampbell In fact, I don't think she'll be a foreign agent. I think her cult was big into anti-LGBT stuff, and so her apparent alliance with Russia was about that. The science of identity may or may not have been getting money from Russia, but probably they just like anti-LGBT autocrats anyway, given their history of activism. Now that Trump & Elon are the anti LGBT autocrats, I suspect she'll be loyal to them. Still Russia-favorable is the bad news, and she'll poison T's views on Ukraine.

This is hilarious. Should I pick Russian or Chinese in Duolingo? I have to teach my kids the language of the future.

I have been impressed by Tulsi Gabbard ever since her initial presidential bid and wish her all the best in this new role. Godspeed

@skibidist you should raise your standards
