The Revolution will not be resubscribed. Religions of America: Secularists, Pagans, Marxists, Christians(Progressive deist vs trad vs non-denominational), Tech-Futurism “If the people are governed by laws and kept in line by punishment, they will avoid crime but will have no sense of shame. If they are governed by virtue and kept in line by the rules of propriety, they will have a sense of shame and will reform themselves.” Confucius (Analects 2:3) You're a socialist in the streets, but a capitalist in the spreadsheet. Birth Control is mixed up with the muddled idea that women are free when they work for strange men but slaves when they work for their family. Libertarians and those who don't like government are like House cats. They are convinced of their fierce independence while utterly dependent on a system they don't appreciate or understand. . . Our faith in science rests on something which is still a metaphysical belief—even we knowledgeable people of today, we godless and anti-metaphysical people—we, too, still take our fire from that blaze kindled by a thousand years of old belief, that faith in Christianity, which was also Plato’s belief, that God is the truth, that the truth is divine. . . -Nietzsche, Gay Science "What shall we say? The editors of newspapers have no check and yet have power to make and unmake characters at their will, to create or unmake the constitution, to erect and demolish administrations - When a few scribblers, all foreigners, whose origins history and characters nobody knows, have more influence than president, the senate, the people's own representatives, and all the judges of the land." For it is a fact that man sprang from the beasts, and had consequently to use barbaric and almost bestial means to extricate himself from barbarism. “Equality doesn’t exist in nature and therefore can be established only by force. He who wants geographic equality has to dynamite mountains and fill up the valleys. To get a hedge of even height one has to apply pruning shears. To achieve equal scholastic levels in a school one would have to pressure certain students into extra hard work while holding back others.”
