  • They should cut to the chase and call Jesus a Marxist.

    Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. Luke 12:33

    Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Mark 10:21

    “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

    “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?  When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?  When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

    “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:34-40






  • To put it simply, the prosperity of Europeans and their descendants was paid for through the bloodshed of colonial exploitation. This created an inherently inequal world order.

    The world has become more equal post WW2 and the descendants of the greatest beneficiaries of that exploitation are now displeased that they don’t hold the same advantages their ancestors did. That’s why we have to go back. That’s why we have to make _____ great again.

    Most PoC can hear these dogwhistles (if you can even call them that) from a mile away.


  • Understaffing is a major issue. Recently having an E. Coli outbreak from their food doesn’t help either.

    It used to be that the food was at least fast and hot. Now there are times where you’ll wait 20 minutes, it will be cold and might make you sick.

    Add to that the price going up while the food is either the same or worse since the 90s.

    In short, they’ve gotten greedy and they assumed it wouldn’t affect demand which is not how economics work but it’s how the worst of capitalists want it to work.



  • America pulled itself out of the great depression by becoming the worlds largest weapons manufacturer and staying out of WW2 until the very end.

    They feel that they have been doing their allies a favor by having military bases in key locations that have allowed these nations to spend less than 2% of their GDP on defense.

    This administration would like to reset the world order so that these countries pay for their own defense. Isolationists like JD Vance strongly believe in this.

    They also know that allies will likely buy weapons from them which will help balance trade imbalances.

    Here’s the problem - there is no situation where this does not lead to nuclear proliferation. It’s essentially inevitable if America continues down this path.

    Also, when nations invest more in their militaries, they are more likely to use them, with or without adequate justification. The US is a prime example of this.

    Perhaps the post WW2 period of relative peace and prosperity is about to come to an end, along with the concept of the Western world - leaving a power vacuum that I’m sure China and Russia are eager to capitalize on.
