Though I’m not a religious person, I grant that there is plenty of wisdom in the Bible and other theological texts.
In fact, most religions warn their parishioners against falling for what could be called “suppressive persons.” That said, how skilled those parishioners are in identifying these harmful people remains to be seen.
Actually, this is how most Americans, young and old, think of Trump, along with the vast majority of people around the globe.
That’s because most people have identified him as a sociopath and a career criminal who is only now coming to justice.
The only other person on Earth less able than Trump to make fair moral judgments, Vladimir Putin, has declared that the U.S. justice system is “rotten,” based on its prosecution of the former president.
The facts as reported here are true, but I’m not sure Biden deserves any moral credit for what happened. If he did, he’d be pushing for things like the Carbon Fee and Dividend, a movement that would incentivize everyone at all levels of the energy and transportation food chain to decarbonize.
Apparently there are people so ignorant that they don’t understand that all 200+ sovereign nations on Earth have their own decisions to make re: vaccines, their uses, mandates, lockdowns, health policies re: schools, workplaces, restaurants, etc.
They also don’t understand that Dr. Fauci doesn’t make these decisions, even for the United States.
It’s just pathetic.
The problem isn’t that we’re not intelligent. It’s that we (most of us anyway) have other attributes that work counter to our intelligence: greed, selfishness, tribalism, and indifference to the suffering of others.
From the ad at left:
From this ad soliciting limited partners: Our flexible financial options fit your needs by creating custom deals to help you grow your business. All backed by industry-leading customer service.
What are you talking about? If you want to contribute to baking the planet, that’s one thing. You’re an ass****; just admit that to yourself and go for it. But please don’t mislead yourself with this fake business jargon.
Re: the meme here, two quick points:
If you believe that your kids are engulfed in messaging, especially from their school teachers, that tells them that “America is terrible,” you’re a gullible, brainwashed fool.
If you dispute the idea that your country should be presented objectively for its strengths and weaknesses, thus shutting our people off from the information they need to observe and fix its problems, you’re a good deal worse.
I would add that we can vote against them in our elections and encourage others to do the same.
and
Prosecute them if they commit crimes, regardless of the support they have from other awful people.
