High intelligence absolutely doesn't save you from making idiotic decisions.
A startling number of people also think the rules don't apply to them because their education ensures they can 'think critically'.
Makes the appropriate noises, but carries less of an underlying point the more you listen.
Why wear yourself out trying when you have no future anyway?
For that matter, why look for God when his representatives tacitly accept or even cheer on the systems and ideologies that destroy all earthly reason for hope and meaning?
I met plenty of exceptions, and seek Christ myself. But I've found a trend in church leadership and public figures.to make themselves agreeable to the world and ignore the imperative to resist evil - even in the privacy of their minds.
For myself, this has been a serious stumbling block. I think that if church organisations wish to both reach and keep these hopeless people, they have some serious reflection to do themselves.
Given how many Americans aggressively signal their appreciation for 'legal' immigration, I'm not keen on erasing the border myself.
Canada's own cabal-approved legal immigration policy is a key part of the Canadians' current plight.
I'm sure the Swedes will appreciate the notion that their suffering was earned through the colonial empire their ancestors didn't build. To say nothing of the Irish, who were themselves colonised.
The notion that an immigrant is 'valid' only by contributing to his new society strikes me as a category error. One can be both an immigrant and a parasite. By the same token, the founding principles of America are owed to the reasoning and norms of British-descended Heritage Americans - their immigrant status is incidental. I don't believe 'being contributing immigrants' provides any sufficient basis for a coherent national identity or social contract.
I've also found that such 'nation of immigrant' arguments have accompanied the push for ever more multiculturalism. This comes without any interest in preserving the norms and policies that made the society worth living in for the nation that originally built it.
In practical reality, immigrants 'contributing to society' still often leaves the people of this original nation worse off. The concept is perfectly coherent with them serving as cheap labour to depress wages, fuelling the insanity of housing prices, and generally putting pressure on the cost of living. This will be the case even for well-intentioned immigrants.
Likewise, the norms of many immigrants mean they'll reflexively support and normalise policies that allow more authoritarian and invasive forms of government. Once again, these immigrants can be perfectly well-intentioned. The difficulty of fully comprehending a foreign culture and the society it builds is enough to produce this effect. The same myths that declare countries like America as 'Nations of Immigrants' celebrate this sort of adulteration of its founding mindset in terms of the cultural 'melting pot' instead of speaking of what it truly implies.
The West in general has allowed an enormous number of dysfunctional practices under the justification that contributing to society means you're a valid part of its host nation. I for one am sick of living with the consequences.
Redemption does not entail choosing between these things. Neither of these passages calls for eradicating the distinction between nations or diminishing their significance, any more than "neither male nor female" permits transgenderism.
The Cabal both hates Christianity and seeks the eradication of the distinct nations created by God. It is not a coincidence that the EU and similar public-facing organisations deliberately invoke symbols like the Tower of Babel.
Hmm. Intellectual belief and willingness to repent aren't strictly separate things, either. Humans are rationalising creatures, and self-deceit is often a key component of moral evil. I've found this a recurring theme among all the unhinged personalities I've seen during the awakening.
Funny how this point was widespread when Musk first riled everyone up about H1B visas, but is overshadowed this time. Instead, the board is filled with posts loudly proclaiming that American graduates are too ruined and stupid to be employed in their fields and will have to be replaced.
Sure is shilly in here.
Oddly enough, people who invoke the words 'stolen land' never ask the natives how they feel about mass immigration.
