Remember, this entire cult has sorta grown out of the "effective aultruism" movement which was by and large just a way of saying "it's okay to kill a lotta people now for my own profit if I posit that this will benefit MORE people in the future."
So the religion itself, and I think it is fair to call TESCREAL a religion or cult, pretty much spawned out of a desire to morally justify capitalism and extreme inequality under climate catastrophe; they just came up with flashier excuses over time

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jlou/116427914705053802 @AnarchoNinaWrites the longtermist consequentialism the effective altruism appeals to has been shown to be incoherent through a logical moral paradox called the consequentialist judgment paradox.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Much of TESCREAL sounds familiar, though. Like heaven in some afterlife nobody ever reported back from, but tweaked to specifically excuse the extreme wealth hoarding of late capitalism.
