Holding accountable requires authority over the people involved. I'm not sure I agree with that. Do we not as Christians have a responsibility toward those we love if we see them choosing a dangerous path? I do, but I don't think that's the same thing as holding someone accountable. They are accoun...

I wonder if there are rabble rousers who sneakily “support” and go to both MAGA or Proud Boy rallies and Antifa festivals. People who just get a thrill out of raising cane and seeing if they can keep it all hidden. Who aren’t at all ideologically loyal. That's what I think about most online trolls....
