If this is propaganda, it's believable propaganda -- ref. repeated chanting of "lock her up", for example.

One step closer to "If This Goes On—", with religion replaced by profit. (Then again, The Sermon on the Mount is pretty clear about serving God and mammon.)

Heh. I seem to have it in my head that there are strains of Christianity with the belief, paraphrased "Being rich is god showing approval of you and your behaviour". I do not remember any names for these strains. Methinks, if they exist, that they are placing worship of mammon straight beside worship of Jesus. And by now, likely way above, profit is religion is christian. To them. Kindness ? There is no profit in that.
