i was forced against my will to watch the first episode of reacher the other day, and it was bizarre. it was like watching a CGI roidman interact with normal humans. just absolutely wild shit.

anyway i googled this guy as a result and wikipedia was like 'he is bipolar and speaks openly about what this means for him' and was thinking 'oh that's so good! it's always great for bipolar people to see someone stable and successful who acknowledges the condition and its struggles' but the rest of that section tells you he 'he started the YouTube channel InstaChurch, in January 2022, where he discusses his Christian convictions'...maybe i spoke too soon

And it wasn't just a one-off! He posted about Chauvin's conviction too: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=342661400557244

And this about overspending on police: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=322883835868334

Ok yeah he hates cops, but that doesn’t make being ultra religious any better

IDK I think it does. I'm not a believer but I am an abolitionist. If religious people put their scripture into practice of being against overpolicing, I'm happy to have them.
