"The idea that personal salvation – as opposed to concern for others – was at the heart of Christianity always bordered on the heretical, but over the decades it has morphed into the absurd farce we see now, where Jesus is held to bless every show of dominance and aggression we can imagine."

Bari Weiss would probably be very upset if everyone were to download a copy of this video and watch it. It's the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT that CBS pulled off the air in an act of cowardice and capitulation to the fascist regime.

It seems that it was briefly available for users in Canada, and someone was able to make a recording of their screen with the contents.

EDIT: A webrip (non phone recording) to circulate: https://archive.org/details/60minutes-cecotsegment

I was reminded of this excellent post

Conservative: "Companies say 'Happy Holidays' because they hate Jesus."

Economics 101: "Companies say 'Happy Holidays' because they want to sell cheap plastic garbage to 100% of the population instead of 65%."

The 'War on Christmas' is just the Free Market you claim to worship working exactly as intended.

You are fighting the Invisible Hand. And losing.
