How can I get in front of Canadian media to talk about the housing crisis?

I think it is entirely fair for us to start looking at Americans like the children they are. They will whine, they will complain, they will explain how they had no power to change their electoral destiny to prevent moronic orange man. But that is not the rest of the world’s problem.

There is little introspective capacity in the Average American. Their degraded education system combined with their internet access and their shared national ego makes them believe they can speak wit to wit, toe to toe, with the average citizen of the rest of the developed world after electing Trump

IDK why American media keep looking at The Dumb Orange Man and thinks when he talks about “trade negotiations” that somehow means anything. It’s all a farce, and to report on a farce either indicates complicity in the farce of normality, or it indicates a stupid fucking country

It’s not politically incorrect to speak the raw truth:
- 🇺🇸 is going civilizationally backwards
- it’s become a shithole country
- it has poor a education system where half the populace is morons and their average voter desires Peronism
- their liberals are thinskinned losers unwilling to fight

Much like how investment in education & healthcare makes countries more developed.

Disinvestment in education & healthcare degrades countries into whatever this is.

look at this shit: how does one become so devoid of any sort of compassion that you end up posting this

Why American Christian nationalism represents the opposite of authentic spirituality.

When institutions try to control religious outcomes through force, they generate the very rebellion they complain about.

Genuine faith requires voluntary engagement.

Why Religion Requires Secular Liberalism to Thrive tl;dr: Theocrats Kill Your Faith and Blame Others for It

the spice must flow

Ah yes, this might explain the genius of Mark Carney

Asking claude to do some research about Trump

Anyone who tries to hint at liberalism being what results in soullessness and irreligiosity of society is attempting to create a permission structure for imposing religion from the top down. We’ve seen those type of people eradicate indigenous faiths in the Americas. That’s their intention as always

Anyway, none of this rambling has to do with the criticism I have in mind of the dark enlightenment.

I’m just tired of this lazy thinking where the problem according to people is that liberalism is at odds with religion, when it is what liberates religion.

Liberalism is at odds with theocracy.

Mysticism is right there as a replacement for blind faith. Engage with it, instead of blaming liberalism for your woes. The entire premise of secularism was to enshrine for you the right to engage in direct divine experiences. Like what do you think America’s Freemason founders were doing?

Like, why should it be society’s problem that you yourself have been unable to seek out and find the divine? Why make that liberalism’s problem? Your faith or lack thereof is an individual responsibility. If you live in a godless world but desire god, go engage with mystic aspects of your religion

This seemed to have been the case with America in the past: a place where you can freely practice your own faith, invent your own faiths, and seek the divine your own way.

The people who see liberal democracy as antithetical to the spirit are functional theocrats who refuse to look within

We conflate liberalism far too often with soullessness. Secularism with irreligiousity. Neither are true.

As someone who considers themselves largely a Kashmiri Shaivite with Vedantic tendencies, liberalism in the West allows me to exist freely & I do not see liberal society as anti-religion

Should I bite the bullet, regardless of what people think, and do it?

I have a liberal & eastern philosophical critique of America’s spiritual disease that manifests as politics as religion, leading to things like the dark enlightenment, and why materialist arguments cannot address such a thing

*log onto bluesky*

*see a bunch of people with no sense of humour*

No

Hate that he’s becoming a worse councillor to get handful of Anthony Furey votes

New Brad Bradford slogan alert

What political rent seeking looks like in real time.

American Libs are so thin skinned they’ll block you over the mildest takes

No. Don’t allow right wingers to have a monopoly on informing stupid people

I think this is right if populism is left alone by liberals and not tapped into when necessary.

The problem is American Ivy League liberal democrats think they are too smart for the dumb populist masses and therefore would prefer to write for the New York Times than invent a liberal New York Sun.

"is america ready for the next war? no"

[conservatives weep, cheer, applaud]

"because we don't have enough trans lesbian coders"
