honestly when you put it that way sedevacantist catholicism is completely on-brand. Lots of schism about weird ideological points that don’t matter and have no real world effect.
Lots of the off-the-rails conspiracy weirdos make me sad. Even Yudkowsky makes me sad. I deeply resent that I know enough about sovereign citizens that I can’t just point and laugh, because they ruin their lives so much.
Fair warning, I’m not a Yank and am culturally Lutheran (but personally areligious), so take this editorializing with a pinch of salt, but it does seem like performative tradcath is a facet of weird online culture

Also agree re: SovCits and other subcultures, these people can really hurt their family and that’s not cool.
Heh, “They can’t even be Catholic without being Protestant” is basically the same thing jewish twitter used to say about Edgy Online Atheists.
