It feels strange doesn't it? That you can call to defend the very concept of humanity, and get called out. But calling for the instant genocide of an entire peoples leaves crickets?
The erosion of our institutions must be nearly complete. We have Christians calling for the destruction of Galilee. We have so called progressives falling to silence in the face of just words, in the past they'd be on the picket lines with us (see Civil Rights Movement). This doesn't even mention the bravery of the workers during the Battle of Blair Mountain. We have been successfully desensitized as a whole, even if as individuals it is madness inducing to see every day.
All symbols, words, and institutions have lost their original meaning. We don't even know what YHWH means really. A species of perceived orphans pounding their chest proudly proclaiming we know what is going on. Nobody does. It's all just one urge to the next, and if there is a plan, it is because an urge required complexity to satisfy. We have become The Jungle once more.
Democrats are not "so called progressives".
Some progressives are Democrats, but not all Democrats are progressives. Most Democrats are not progressives, in fact. Things make a little more sense once you accept that.
But only a little.
None of this shit makes any sense unless you worship Mamon. It only makes sense if you blind yourself to everything but wealth, power, and influence to see with the eyes of modern Pharisees. That's all it is. Its the same exact story scaled up.
