It's well past time that everyone stops using imgur. It's been cancer for years.

This is heartbreaking. This dystopia is the result of leftist urban elites who's farts don't stink who think their policies of enabling drug use reduce harmful outcomes. San Francisco is dystopian with some of the most well off people living in literal towers overlooking the poorest and most downtrodden on the streets. How the hell do these people not see or care about the damage their "compassionate" policies do to the people they nominally claim to want to help?

Greenwald was asked at the end of the show why he doesn't cover more right wing corruption. He responded that you can go anywhere for that, and that it's important foo him to be talking about precisely what those establishment outlets avoid. I don't always agree with him, but he exposes stories credibly and in a way many normies can believe. Although Glen Greenwald isn't always right, his skeptical aims are noble and embody the core of what journalism used to be and ought to be.

The funny thing about his atheism is that it holds true to the sense of there not being a sky fairy, but not that there is a transcending power permeating reality by which Harris encourages interest in meditation and eastern religious theologies.

I remember after the 2020 election Harris posting a picture of a blue wave that that was the first time I realized this guy was not who he pretended to be.

I was (and still am in many ways) an acolyte of Richard Dawkins and the new atheism movement although I would now consider myself very distant from it now. That whole movement identified genuine criticisms of dogmatic thinking in religion. Where it went too far was in assuming that if something was not literally or scientifically true that it could not hold meaning or truth.

This is where the religious right is owed an apology. In defending the learned wisdoms and traditions of our ancestors the religious right was never incorrect regarding the hubris and arrogance of man. The inherent presupposition of our technological and industrial society is that religious beliefs are antiquated since no direct attribution to those values can be ascribed from them. At least this is the zeitgeist formed from modern institutions wholly divorced from religion in their left leaning influenced maxims, from which many people (intellectuals especially) exist entirely within.

The slippery slope is real. For every inch given a mile is taken. Resistance to the incessant advance of "progress" merely for the sake of "progress" justifies the position of the religious right, and for that I too owe them an apology.
