  • We had a babysitter whose husband was a pastor and would always talk about being scared for our souls. In her eyes, being a good person and having a private relationship with God was inadequate to avoid going to hell. She truly felt that church attendance and renouncing other religions was the only path to salvation - belief, prayer, and following the teachings of Jesus would be inadequate.

    It’s hilarious that these offshoots of Protestantism basically went so deep into the sauce that they became Catholics again. Martin Luther spinning in his grave.






  • The only thing holding a lot of Americans back from violence is the knowledge that that’s exactly the excuse the regime wants to declare martial law and suspend elections.

    The only things holding Americans back from violence are relatively abundant food, entertainment and comfort. All of which will still continue to exist once free elections are gone. Plus what they replace them with will be branded super duper free elections, and that will be enough for a lot of people.

    There is little to no evidence that the 1/3rd of eligible voters who didn’t vote in Nov 2024 are any more engaged with what is happening than they were back then.

    All they have to do is orchestrate this coup in a somewhat intelligent way that doesn’t immediately collapse the economy and they can absolutely pull it off.

    Most Americans are not going to fight for abstract rights when their immediate tangible needs are being met.



  • Until something is officially declared a crime and a legal accusation is made, people are officially, legally innocent. Which means everyone saying “Epstein didn’t kill himself” or “Donald Trump is involved in a child trafficking operation”, is a conspiracy theorist.

    Courts determine criminal liability withing the justice system. They do not determine truth itself. When properly designed and used, the legal system should trend towards truth, but actual truth is a separate thing entirely. The unifying aspect of conspiracy theorists is completely naive epistemology. You guys are actually doing epistemology but you just refuse to actually look at the thousands of years of work that’s been done in the field across civilizations all over the world.
