Ever look at your feed and feel like someone’s trying to make you hate your neighbor? We put that to the test with a live “algorithm roulette,” guessing whose timeline each clip came from and asking why so much of it pushes race-bait thefts, EBT panic, and culture-war outrage. Along the way, we break down a tense church body-cam video to talk policing, de-escalation, and when force becomes necessary. Then we face the harder civic questions: what really happens if benefits stop, how widespread fraud warps the system, and why the ugliest clips rise to the top of our screens.

We also wade into a charged Catholic media debate: does joining a major platform quietly narrow what you’re allowed to say and who you can host? We examine the incentives around Zionism, the pressure of donor comfort, and why some lines get treated as sacred cows. A viral claim comparing the Holocaust to “the crucifixion on IMAX” forces a frank response about blasphemy and the limits of analogy. From there, we trace a deeper thread—how ecumenism, symbols, and typology shape the way ordinary Catholics think. The half-shekel in the Temple, the court of the Gentiles, and Christ cleansing that space aren’t dusty trivia; they’re the grammar of worship that still guards us from smuggling idolatry into holy places.

If you’re worn out by hot takes that dodge real costs, this one asks for courage and clarity. We’re not here to flatter algorithms or play nice with sacred cows. We’re here to tell the truth, protect the vulnerable without ignoring fraud, and keep worship centered on God. Listen, share with a friend who’s wrestling with the same questions, and leave a review with your honest take—did the clips in your feed look anything like ours?
