Idolatry.
America’s gun “culture” is idolatry.
Worshipping a man-made object is idolatry.
A “culture” that deems the gun too sacred to regulate is engaging in idolatry. /1
2/ A “culture” that spreads lies and confusion around the sacred item, so that the worshipping can continue, is engaging in idolatry.
3/ There are ancient teachings about what idolatry brings onto a society that engages in it.
Death is the lesson.
Specifically, the slaughter of children at the altar of the idol.
Imagine that.

No need to scratch heads over what donald could mean in his social media storm today.
He's been a rat since Cody (concrete cartel & commission trial).
Which means, he's long had "deals."
I'll just thread some old threads on it.
We'll start here ⬇️ ('Bulger' is a reference to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Our rescue - after spending her first two years chained outside 24/7 (the chain around her neck having to be surgically removed because it was imbedded)… sleeps like this.
Still my favorite pic of her.
She does love this particular bed…
And here she is, strutting her strutter with an even bigger buddy…
The “Stochastic Terrorism” is coming from “primarily” one demo. This statement is undeniable & important to bring into focus. Loudly. Relentlessly. Until enough of the citizenry has the correct frame, that we leave those who have the power to act no choice but to do so.
2/…please use specific words for this issue.
Most importantly: use “Stochastic Terrorism” instead of “violence.” Violence & Gun Violence fall across several demos. To not distinguish Stochastic Terrorism from general gun violence or other forms of violence only leaves an opening
3/…for propagandists to dispute. It hands them a winnable argument, & they know it. They’re waiting for it. Drooling for it. Because they’re propagandists who radicalize with words - with arguments. Those are their weapons.
When generalizations hit the discourse, they jump…
🧵 Some post-midterm punditry on R’s choice to now abandon donald: They bring up all the past moral & ethical lines that Republicans “should” have drawn & declare, “You stuck with him even after his violent insurrection, & it was a handful of midterm losses that did it?!”
But…
2/ Um…Yeah. That’s the whole point. Rs stuck with donald through it all because he was the supposed path to absolute power.
A sample:
Paying off porn stars with election funds? No problem. We’ll just ignore it.
Partnering with hostile foreign intelligence service to get elected,
3/…then obstructing Justice to thwart investigators? No problem. Here’s our boy Barr.
Shaking down a foreign leader to get election dirt? No problem. We’ll screw over career diplomats & squash impeachment in Senate.
Insurrection? No problem. Here are some of our Nazis,
Remember the idiot discourse-based active measure, where MAGAs & Qs were bleating that increased hiring at IRS was actually a shadow police force to come and take everyone’s guns?
How close was that to donald & kids were leading the fifth - over & over - in Tish James depos?
