Technically, we should have posted this in the opposite order, because I believe the quote I got was in response to the one you posted selver.
At any rate, I was trying to provide a brief synopsis of the other end of the perspective from the OP, which was in response to the primary sources selver and I posted. Personally, i have absolutely no fucks to give about this situation, and nothing invested in either side, honestly

Taking a broad look, this may just be what happens when all communication is subsumed into social media. Aesthetics becomes the primary locus of political association. It's the most advanced evolutionary form of the spectacle.
An ontology of tweets and memes emerges, qualitatively no different than what came before. Everything is a reboot or a remake, and so too is the paradigm of Christianity rebooted, with a new cast of saint-heroes and sinner-villians, new forms of orthodox and heresy.
