If we start teaching adults to the brevity and shallowness of the minds of children (regardless of how elastic they are), why wouldn’t we start thinking as if our thoughts are short and shallow like children as well? Doesn’t this train the brain to sacrificing the essence for the ‘gist’. “Don’t contemplate, just memorize”. This pattern of thinking…

Sorry so long, a brain dump here:

What we want instead is not political thought but a glut of political noise, a great, never-ending garbage dumping of sloganeering, inanity, polling, up-to-the-minute coverage of non-events, polling about polling, coverage about coverage, slogans about slogans, without pause, without anyone…

“Withdraw all sympathy for establishment media”

Right and left agrees with this. But the media complex appears to propogate socialists narratives, and also fails to equally criticise anti-fa for violence (from the perspective of the right). What media are you referring to then? From the position of someone on the left, what…

Is that a maybe?

It seems to me that this is what socialists have been trying to accomplish since the progressive movement of the early 20th century and conservatives or classical liberals believe themselves to have been trying to push back against it:

The abolition of individual property and the establishment of the Great National Economy…

Why don’t we just quarantine them?

This sounds consistent with Yuri Bezmenov’s description of ideological subversion. He described this before the Berlin Wall was taken down, so I don’t think it’s a grand scheme by the Russians haha. But whatever is going on, it sure seems to be destabilizing things.

Civil Government & Self-Government

I very much appreciate your in-depth response. I believe you have accuratley interpreted the correct imperatives of the scriptures you have presented, but are applying them to the improper domain. You have not demonstrated that Jesus’ commands are to be backed by…

Exactly. So we agree that Jesus didn’t compel the rich man to sell his possessions, nor did Jesus hire thugs to steal them from him. The penalty on the rich man’s hoarding then, or his greed, is an internal effect on his character. He has not stolen from someone else to acquire wealth, he has stolen from himself by not receiving the gift of giving…

The coercive restraint of Civil Law is incompatible with the free volition of the attitudes and actions of the gospel of grace; you can’t legislate New Testament righteousness. The principles of the intrinsic negative rights of human nature in the West are driven by the Judeo Christian religion. We live in the luxury of having inherited these without…
