    Can i go back to being blissfully ignorant about this? I liked it better when I thought it was just Chinese proverbs or something like that 🥲

      Sorry to do that to you, but consider this: you’re now equipped to handle the conversation when I comes up. Imagine you send this to your lib friend who always has their earbuds in and they hear the prayer loud and clear and ask you about it and you have no idea. At least now you can be ready for it.

        Haha no need to apologize. You’re right that it’s better to know and be prepared and I was just being silly anyway. I was already under the assumption that his criticism of US economic policy wasn’t coming from Marxist analysis or anything like that and was more just generic anti-neoliberalism or perhaps realism. Chinese Christianity wasn’t even on my radar though lmfao
