Was watching the Timcast with Milo on and thought this point in particular deserved seperate discussion given not just recent but years of events.
The point Milo raised was that the ammendments in America can only work with a Christian society, the 2nd only works if you value life and the 1st only works in a society that regularly attends confession. He obviously has a bias but I want to expand that.
We can see that there's two aspects that is really damaging western society, constant attacks on Christianity and not really any other religion (Jew's get few but quickly slapped down by establishment) and a more individualistic view of the world.
For Democracy to work you need everyone to have a stake in it, everyone to share the same morality and everyone to want to improve their communities. On all fronts we've seen either a decrease or an abandonment of each of these values thanks to education policies, media and mass illegal immigration from conflicting cultures.
So the questions, can Democracy only exist in a fully Christian society, should the West no longer be a democracy and if so what system should take it's place, obviously not communism as no matter what that never works.
I think Christianity is central to civil liberties as given by god, it's a standard of western principles of law.
But experts and technological takeover of the most minute details of daily life have crowded out traditional existence and human experience and replaced it with data manipulation and junk science.
I will never take the black pill, but I remember when Ted Kazinsky was being hunted and captured, the news was screeching his mad manifesto about tech and data controlling our lives ... and I thought what he had to say was profound. He might be crazy, but he's not wrong.
The tech is too embedded and too necessary and too addictive now. Humanity hardly has enough room in their lives for church anymore; besides you can Zoom your favorite church service at home while toasting in your Amazon delivered jammies during lockdowns.
So is it tech itself that has enabled this disintegration of values or an active push to do so using technological advancement as a cover to implement this erosion of faith?
Thought I'd ask as I'm firmly in the camp of Nietzche in that if you kill God (religion and it's moral structure) you better create a new moral structure to work from otherwise you'll end up with chaos (see current times)
So it turns out there really is no replacement for God and trying to replace God with modernism is trying to shove a square peg into a round hole. Tech is a morally neutral entity that is being used as an instrument for more efficiently deploying man's depravity.
Mail-in voting fraud only happened in the first place because entire generations were programmed by Amazon and door dash to expect the convenience of home delivery in all aspects of life.
Voting should be difficult. It should be restricted. Only Men with skin in the game need to vote.
