blessing that the Christians bestow on Israel (e.g. the Jewish diaspora) seems pretty limited

They're prayed for on Good Friday that they might repent their sins and find salvation through Jesus. What better blessing is there?

O merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor wouldest the death of any sinner, but rather that he be converted and live; Have mercy upon all Jews, Turks, Infidels, and Heretics, and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to thy flock, that they may be saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be made one fold under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.

Or name them after monkeys because of homosexuals?

When OR decriminalized drug use were the addicts freer? It seems they had fewer options as they were slaves to their addiction. They possibly have an additional choice, homeless addict living in a tent (this was an option before too), but far more choices are now unavailable to them, as we see how challenging it is to move on from homeless and drug abuse.

Did it make the larger society around them freer or do they too now have fewer places to be free of homesless addicts living in tents.

Individuals have alway had the 'freedom' to be lustful degenerates if they were willing to face the opprobrium that went with it.

In today’s world, degeneracy is liberation. It’s the same old doublespeak, just with a new coat of paint. Orwell would be proud, or horrified. Probably both.

'Anything goes' has always been the rallying cry of those who want to tear down civilization. Tyrants and anarchists both love to twist language to suit their ends. Call it license or call it degeneracy, either way, it’s not freedom worth defending.

Some non-zero number of 'Chinese students' are also Chinese spies or CCP operatives.

Do you object to the government excluding them?

I am in the top 10% of individual earners and have a cubicle in a building in a low rise industrial park fortunately I'm only in the cubicle one or two days a week. The remainder of the week I wage slave from home.

My wife homemakes, caring for me and our four children. I don't know that I would describe what she does most days as 'chilling'. Nor do I think this arrangement is a particularly pecuniarily rewarding one for her. Our household income percentile ranking was significantly higher as DINK.

I feel fortunate that through some trick of biology she experiences 'love' for me and a desire to bear my children. I have a 90th percentile head, it was no small task.

They're the same picture.

compromised by Israeli spies

Not being compromised, seems like it might be a shorter list.

screen for CCP connections

I'm doubtful we're executing on this effectively.

The 'freedom' to indulge in degeneracy doesn’t just affect the individual, it poisons the well for everyone else. It’s like saying you’re free to pollute the air because it’s your right, never mind that it makes the atmosphere unbreathable for others.

Skepticism is healthy, but willful blindness to consequences is not. Every choice has ripple effects, and pretending otherwise is just wishful thinking. Society isn’t a collection of isolated individuals; it’s a web of interdependencies. Your slave analogy’s fun, but it doesn’t change the fact that unchecked lust screws us all in the end.

The freedom to speak your mind, even if it’s offensive. Just because you can say something doesn’t mean you should. Freedom without discernment is just noise. Degeneracy’s a better word when people treat liberty like a free-for-all buffet.

By that logic, the freedom to self-destruct is still freedom. Sure, but it’s not something to celebrate. It’s a symptom of a society that’s lost its way. Options don’t make you free if they’re just different flavors of ruin.

The title was a bit of a giveaway.

Is there a way to express that some issues may not have satisfactory political solutions without being modded for fedposting?

This is a not uncommon lament in current year.

This professor makes largely the same claims. https://hilariusbookbinder.substack.com/p/the-average-college-student-today

I've had a similar discussion with a professor at a local community college who sees it everyday.

There's some comfort in knowing to some degree this has been a forever problem On the Miseries of Teachers 1533, Philip Melanchthon.

It's not as if nation states invading a supply chain to make devices literally explode is unheard of.

Working in an industry that takes this sort or compromise seriously we have a list of countries we can't buy from. Sometimes even if it's a US based company but a particular model or production run of a product is from a 'wrong' location, we can't use it.

worse policy mistakes

Is it a 'mistake', if it's designed to obfuscate and mislead?

That the same bad actors then use their obfuscation for

justifying later (bad) policies on the basis of risk-severity

I have difficulty seeing these as 'mistakes'.

Wasn't there a rhyming obfuscation with the vaccinated? You did not count as vaccinated and dead unless you died > 2 weeks after your vaccination?

1549 Book of Common Prayer

Though the 1662 Book of Common Prayer is much the same

O Merciful God, who has made all men, and hate ſt nothing that thou ha ſt made, nor de ſire ſt the death of a ſinner, but rather that he ſhould be converted and live: Have mercy upon all Jews, Turks, Infidels, and Hereticks, and take from them all ignorance, hardne ſs of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and ſo fetch them home, bleſſed Lord, to thy flock, that they may be ſaved among the remnant of the true I ſraelites, and be made one fold under one ſhepherd, Je ſus Chri ſt our Lord; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.

You'd like a 25 point plan that outlines a positive vision for a unified nation under conservative principles?

Rootless cosmopolitan globalist outside agitators?

How are things in South Africa since they ended segregation?

freedom with responsibility?

It’s a nice sentiment, but it ignores the fact that most people can’t handle the responsibility. That’s why we have laws, traditions, and taboos. Without them, 'freedom' just becomes a euphemism for hedonism.

Yes, won't someone please think of the poor MIC.

Funding this death and destruction for the pecuniary benefit of the MIC, makes it worse not better.

Are you equally concerned for the bankers who may suffer without this largesse?
