I want to add some context. Why do we do this?

The Great Awakening is a spiritual awakening. We are called upon once again to recognize that there is good and evil within this world, and ultimately we must choose. This isn't an earthly discussion either. It transcends politics. It transcends the physical reality and gets deeper than that. Our goal in "awakening" is to reconnect with that spiritual world and with the spiritual part of ourselves.

Most of us when we read the daily headlines are, quite understandably, frustrated, cynical, even angry. Sometimes, there's nothing more that I'd like to do than square up with some of these villains and start swinging. That's a normal reaction to injustice, stupidity, double standards, lies, propaganda, etc. But, if we spend too much time reading this stuff, we'll be drawn into a world where every emotion we have is clouded by this stress and negativity until all that's left is apathy. This is intentional. It is part of a strategy to demoralize people and render them helpless. It was deliberately done to slaves historically to break their spirit. Marxists have modernized and weaponized this millennia-old strategy as a means of shoring up their own control by breaking the will of every human on Earth. We cannot allow ourselves to live in a negative spiritual space that is toxic to the soul.

The rules exist to try and keep discussion here in the realm of spiritual good. We focus on hope. Even as we point out grave injustices, we don't lose our ability to joke and to laugh. We deal in memes because they're remarkably fast ways to share ideas, but also because they're fun. We keep hope alive. We look for solutions, not just the problems. And we do this because this is a spiritual conflict, a spiritual awakening. And so here, especially, we must nurture the spirit and protect it whenever possible.
