Better Christian Nationalism than Anti-Christian Nationalism

Most Christians do know better than to just choose a so-called theocracy, or worse, a hypocrite-ocracy. It is actually a small percentage that think they should force everyone to act like they have the same religion.  However, a lot of people are reacting to what is absolutely a similar foisting of ideological lifestyle aggression onto people who should be free and happy.  I don’t see how anyone can really not see how the democrats have their own morality and self-righteousness warping into a control freak power grab. I don’t know how things will go towards resolving it. I kind of do think it is too late for peaceful renewal of the organically free and loyal society.  But maybe good things will still happen from all the millions of people who know better than how they are represented in the media and government chambers and chamber pots and pot head dens and cells.

What is behind people’s weakness

So I have been doing better blogging with fewer complaint mistakes, but here is a weaker post to just wonder something out loud in case it is a problem.  I noticed that gas prices were low during Trump’s presidency, high during Obama’s presidency, and horribly outrageous during Biden’s presidency.  And I am just wondering if the oil companies are “rigging” that on purpose for political reasons, in a similar way as facebook ruins people’s social lives for political reasons.  Like if it is kind of an industry display of power to get their way.  I do not know.  I truly don’t.  I know there are a lot of factors about energy production that I don’t understand.  But I think profit gouging is something that happens very often without much intervention, and this pattern makes me suspect some things could be on purpose.  I am disgusted with Biden but this type of fighting in both cases, from power hungry oil people and from greasy social media people, is a shameful embarrassment that probably shouldn’t be legally possible.

Compromising on ethics but not on anything else…

Ask yourself, why is it religious liberty and social justice, instead of liberty and justice?  And could the phrase “for all” believably be added to either concept? It is interesting to ponder, and to think that real solutions might satisfy both interests. My hunch is that at this point, we should just go with both things and try to provide work and laws that serve both those causes. This also suggests a philosophical component where too many people have fallen for the idea that our only option is to negotiate with different groups who all have supposedly legitimate but conflicting interests. Maybe that is not how it works.  It could be that until there is true faith that decisions can fairly benefit all people, then no real peace and progress will take place in our country or anywhere else. Can’t everyone now say “I told you so” about at least some things, so people can agree to move on with what surely must be an obvious path forward.

Where is the leadership?

Republicans who bully people like Maxine Waters. I feel sorry for you.  Democrats who aren’t satisfied with people like Susan Collins and Murkowski.  I feel sorry for you.  Black people who don’t stand up for your white friends who aren’t really that racist. Actually, I do kind of get it. Everyone does, and that is why the democra-tards are able to roll through such absurdities of strife and murder before everyone’s eyes. But I still wonder when people will sufficiently question why they have to vote for abortion extremism and legalizing armed robbery to have any minority representation at all? Perhaps the conservatives are the ones with the higher view of those who they seem to vote against, and actually do, unfortunately.

Utilitarianism

So this mad blog post is about something that maybe I don’t need to say.  I think really, people have watched it all happen and anything that I tried to keep up with is now just reality because the bad people won.  But it is an observation about facebook, and I do think it is better for some people to say it than to not say it.  In the past, when a resource everyone relied on so much became an almost or absolute necessity of people’s lives, it would often be instituted as a utility, such as electric and phone companies. Facebook itself morphed and added to its role like that, so some of its expansion is from the company trying to meet needs.  But some of it is most obviously from trying to meet “greeds.” And we don’t have a government that is functional enough to regulate social media, and we also have a public that decided to be patient with something so powerful functioning like a utility but not having accountability.  No one insisted on much regulation, but how have we been repaid for our loyalty and cooperation? By total betrayal that includes many of our actual friends and acquaintances. In a way, what has happened is a valuable demonstration of extreme free market potential, and as a libertarian, I somewhat am a fan of that process.  However, I do see some drawbacks where just like with other parts of our country’s systems, some people end up getting the worst of both worlds- capitalism and government socialism.  In other words, facebook has pretty obviously chosen a political party to support, and has enhanced its users’ efforts to harass and silence the other “side.” And the strategy of harassment and silencing and starvation is conspicuously similar to the culture wars from the past 40 years.  Only now, a social utility which has a public role that also has eaten up people’s actual friendships from both church, school, and work contacts, is actively shutting down not just normal life but the social component of people’s lives.  Would I not complain if I was one of the people boosted?  Maybe I would gloat or tell everyone it’s their problem.  Except the algorithms don’t allow for normal announcements and friendship as they once did, and they do allow for constant ads to funnel money to already billionaires based on my friendship. And soon Zuckerberg will pay the influencers who are mocking people from my religion and, hmmmm… geographical background.  There are already onslaughts of underwear ads if I post something religious.  And the social media up and ups will gladly tell you that is the point.  

I can go on, but people are already aware of this.  Are we going to take it?  How facebook hides its true staff behind insulting publicity mascots featured in meta ads letting us know that Zuckerberg has moved on to other goals? What if the electric company shut off half the power for one side of the political disagreements?  In a way, it seems that facebook is different from that, but in another way, it is much, much worse, because it is our actual church and school contacts, many of which have been glad to harass their friends literally to death. That is all I will say.  No one really has to say it, because it is all recorded. People’s motives are all too apparent. Their delusions of historical heroism, and the finale of safety threats to anyone who merely voted according to their pro life beliefs, much less actual government leaders who attained their role through the democratic process that too many people actually worshipped and idolicized to the point of the clogged process we now have. What will happen to deliver us from this oppression?  Probably a pandemic and war, and then the country breaks up in an immature, bratty admission that maybe it already should have two hundred years ago when aggressives tried their tricks before.
