Just a reminder that ‘the institutions’ supported the sort of dangerous, prohibited GOF that resulted in COVID, killing 10s of millions of people and costing trillions of dollars.

The institutions then locked us in our homes and forced low risk people (including children!) to…
…take an experimental therapeutic as the price of re-entering society.

They also closed schools for years irreparably harming the most vulnerable students who will never make up the lost time.

The institutions think confused tween girls should be injected with Lupron,…
…and they think middle aged men who become sexually aroused by thinking of themselves as women *are women.*

The institutions don’t think you can be trusted with your own mind. They think you need constant ideological surveillance and censorship and they conspired with tech…

Hard not to view events through the lens that empire has turned inward with the federal government playing the role of increasingly paranoid colonial administrators alienated from and hostile to the local population.

Helene cuts a swath through a regressive imperial backwater,…
…and the main concern seems to be that this is an inconvenience that has to somehow be worked into the stage sets of the presidential campaign.

Don’t these people understand there are more important extra territorial matters (Ukraine, the Middle East) that are of…
…priority?

Are they not being impertinent by complaining too loudly? Don’t they know their place? Don’t they know democracy is on the ballot? Don’t they know we’re defending the freedom of Europe? That ‘no human is illegal’ and that the federal disaster response agencies…

I think an important reason libs are so hostile to Christianity is that so much of social justice theology is borrowed from Christianity.

Christianity has to be actively moved out of the way so that there is an empty space for social justice theology.
Over the past few years people have said things to me like, ‘You don’t believe transgender people exist,’ or, ‘You don’t believe in anti-racism,’ and I didn’t understand what they really meant.

On a deeper level they weren’t making an empirical claim or arguing for conceptual…
…coherence. Rather, they were making a theological assertion.

Not having an observant upbringing myself, I didn’t immediately recognize that intent because it wasn’t stated explicitly.

Libs scoff at the miracles and supernatural occurrences in religious texts and so instead,…

Grade inflation is a problem because certain people need to be taught early on that they’re simply not very good at specific things and that no matter how hard or long they work at something they never will be good at it.

A lot of problems in society are downstream of…
…entitled and mediocre people who, because of a variety of manipulative social tactics and institutional corruptions, have never had their inflated self image challenged in a meaningful and informative way and are now in adulthood.

There are now many people who attain a…
…relatively high station purely as a result of sociopathy and socialization.

These people tend to be insecure and suffer from ‘imposter syndrome’ and they resent and try to delegitimize high performance standards and scrutiny that call into question their ‘achievement.’
