USA politics following Trump's election

Both types may nevertheless use their faith (if they believe) to 'spread some good message and deeds', but there is no dogma and anything-more-than-basic in rules.

I actually know one IEE who is a 'strongly faithful' Catholic. She was born into a family of people practicing - in her case faith is strongly correlated to her (minority) culture and identity. I, myself, truly believe she is a strong believer and beliefs in good will and helping others. But, if you run into some 'questions' with her, you see how far she goes away from literal dogma sometimes. Examples below.

'What do you think about how the church treats LGBT+ people?' It's awful. I have many LGBT+ friends, both non-hetero and trans. I think I could date someone trans. I accept everyone and cherish them.
'Don't you think priests here make way too much money?' Oh, of course they are! The church and swimming in riches is just wrong.
'Do you think there should be a separation of church and state?' Yes, I do. I have many non-believing friends as well and I share their opinion on this. I think the church's influence in our country is too strong and sick, especially with how they mingle with our conservative government.
'What do you think about abortion?' It's a complicated issue. I personally would never abort, but some cases are very sad and maybe there should be some sort of compromise. Maybe each case should be treated individually.
'There are many awful things in the Bible...' Yes, sure they are. I also think some of these are awful. But I don't think it's 100% literally true, just written under God's influence... So you have to be more careful with some passages and see the spirit. I also think New Testament is a better source than the Old one.
'Pope dogmas and various historic things?' Not infallible. People are people, not God.
'Damnation?' I think there should be punishment, and maybe some souls... But no, I think rehabilitation is more important. Goodness will prevail in the end.

And so on and so on. To the question, 'okay, so why don't you switch to some protestant faith that better matches your actual beliefs and has only those core things you agree with' I was answered with a baffled expression 'yeah, but my family is there and I was always there, I've actually found many alike friends and so on'. Understandable she doesn't want to upset anyone and is used to her own social circle (which I assume is pretty similar). She cares about kindness in the most natural way you can expect.

This is a very different approach from citing dogmas and expecting someone to fit them, or accept them.

Wow! I got a lot from that. Yet this one would be easier to respond to first, so I might start by (later) responding to this one first. Like how I would answer those Q's, and why I think she answered them that way. I want to explain that. I get it. I see just where she is coming from. And yes, that sounds like an IEE response.

It is a grace that filial and social affection keeps her coming to the Lord's House. But the truth is there is a stench - the Catholic Church founded by Jesus is overwhelmingly (but not completely) infiltrated - like "deep state", there is a "deep church" - and she is not yet woke to the fact that the most life-giving truths of our faith have been systematically hidden from her. She has been ROBBED of her rightful heritage. I will pray now for her, with confidence, that she be given the graces to someday answer your final question with:

"Because Jesus HIMSELF is there! ALL of Jesus - Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity! If I don't partake of his Body and Blood, I will have NO LIFE in me! And anyway, to whom would I go? He has the words of eternal life!" *

I also think there is no reason to be ashamed. You were bold, but you said that you had experienced lies, and the painful results of those, so the strong response seemed naturally connected to that.

do not forgive me. damn, there's no escape from the ego, not even this attempt to denounce it. why does everything suck so much? don't give me weirdo christian explanations, i beg you.

I mean he/she/it is approaching my number of posts in 6 months time and it took me 8 years and six months to get to this. It's machine-like post generation. And he/she/it does not seem to ever communicate with anyone, can't seem to read since he/she/it does not respond/comment on anyone's posts. Also he/she/it has no profile, no friends - he/she/it is pretty much an island. A mechanical one at that.

I guarantee you that if it's a human at all, then it's getting paid off by foreign powers who want to stir social unrest in the US. He's an astroturf.

the big problem for dementia joe the creepy molester and kamala poop for brains harris aka queen of the bag ladies that the democratic party aka identity politic cesspool perpetually has is NO VISION. Dementia Joe and Kamala Harris have zero vision. They're just run of the meal piecemeal shit-kickers. Trump at least has a vision for lessening our economic dependence on China, bringing manufacturing jobs back into the country and overall America for America. He's also got the Wall. Biden and Harris are two shitkickers. They have no vision whatsoever. They're just a couple of pandering pinheads...that's it though. Biden obviously picked Harris because he's such a formulaic Te/Si, 'oh blacks are in an uproar' i'd better pick a so-called "black" candidate so I can tap into the energy of the BLM jobless bums "revolution", have nothing better to do than scapegoat the entire institution of law enforcement and White America for George Floyd's death and even black-on-black crime

I drove through half the country this past week. let me say this, there's no biden-harris signs anywhere along the long stretch of highway but a lot of trump-pence signs.

:thinking: after 4 years of this obviously libshit corporate puppet with half his family married into the fold, no wall and this: the United States admitted a total of 1.18 million legal immigrants (618k new arrivals, 565k status adjustments) in 2016. ... Since then, the number of first-generation immigrants living in the United States has quadrupled.

:stroke: you'd still vote for the fucker? I guess there is o real choice, but the mindset itself makes me question just what kind of "extremist" you really are. e_e sounded like a basic bitch republican.

:popcorn: word on the interwebz is that the DNC was Alpha quadra production level cringe-worthy funny shit.

Perhaps you're noticing a problem you and many others have. So many people I declare as my enemy do objectively good things. They donate to legitimate charities, they bother to visit their grandparents in the nursing home, they give to the homeless beggars who do more than just shamelessly tug at the heartstrings. I can go on and on.

Yet when it comes to things like abortion and the like their demonic obsessions become clear. I can and do agree that, most of the time, they're objectively great people as I define it. Yet I hit that one or several nerves and boom, I'm legit asking myself if I ought to call an exorcist. That's demonic obsession. That's how it works. Thankfully for those who suffer under it, the next few steps rarely come to pass. And may almighty God have mercy upon those who elect to willfully subjugate themselves to those powers...

There is a difference between being a genuinely decent person and a do-gooder, even if I don't put it in religious terms.

Steve Bannon has been arrested for defrauding 'We Build The Wall' donors. The money was apparently used to fund Brian Kolfage's lavish lifestyle.

I'm just shocked that he wasn't arrested in connection with paedophilia-related shenanigans.

Steve Bannon looks ESE to me. It's a good thing that being stupid with money isn't a valid legal defense.

https://twitter.com/raylehmann/statu...69406118281217

After federal prosecutors charged President Donald Trump's former campaign adviser Steve Bannon with defrauding donors in a border wall fundraising campaign, Trump said he was not involved with the project and thought it was "very sad."

The guy in the twitter picture evidently was a Trump impersonator.

Uh oh. "Very sad" means no pardon for Banner boy.

perhaps you are noticing a problem you and others have (not me of course, I don't have this problem :halo: and have never ever done this), this problem where they speak "contemplatively" but fish for ways to emotionally manipulate other people? Once they strike a nerve they can use the reaction against the other person to both reinforce their perspectives and invalidate the other person's perspectives.

It's amazing how many people suffer from this problem and since most everyone has used this tactic at least once in life, it's a lot of people (not me though I'm such a saint as evidenced by my recent behavior), and if you've used it once that's enough and there may be someone I need to call... One of those professional TV nannies? I bet many of them are quite astute in these matters. I hooope it doesn't come to that because it's dreadful to need a professional nanny. It doesn't get that bad for most people, and there are more in need of these TV fix it people than available reality TV slots. But it's a dreadful phenomenon to be sure.

I feel like I'm spouting nonsense and failing at satire... Huh.

I was trying to subtly explain how demonic obsession works. You do "good" things, objectively good things every day (and I commend you for that). Yet, when this one or two other thing comes up you defend to the death an objective evil. It's an obsession by the dictionary definition of the term. You can break free of it, but that requires you to admit that Christ loves you no matter how much you hate him... Sadly, I fear most people are willfully subjugating themselves to demonic forces. Or at least, anyone who is obviously "successful" as it were...

ew. This is the kind of conversion stuff I don't like. Believe me, plenty of Christians have pestered me with this stuff and all act like they are the first as though in a country dominated by their religion I've never heard it before. I think you'd reach more people if you stopped trying to convert them. I'm not the only one that experiences it as a violation.

Also you still seem to be talking to someone else. I don't talk about my good deeds, I see myself as bad. I don't care about the "it's not your deeds that matter" in Christianity talk. Although, I would expect some alignment here, as generally a "relationship with God" that "surrenders to his will" should give an output of generally altruistic deeds in my estimation.

There are other religions on this planet. It's the arrogance of humanity that assumes only its faith is the "true" one. Since I see no one saying my religion is X, but the Truth is actually what those practitioners of religion Y believe, it seems this has more to do with human nature than it does with having found an "objective truth."

I don't feel like debating what the government should do about abortion with you.

Also btw I feel like I can make a much better argument for why I would be "demon possessed obsessed whatever" than this stuff lol. I also don't know why you feel it's so important to inform me about how demonic I am.

The US white majority will soon disappear forever Link


The proportion of whites in the U.S. population started to decline in 1950. It fell to gradually over the years, eventually reaching just over 60% in 2018 – the lowest percentage ever recorded.


Although the majority of the U.S. population today is still white, nonwhites account for more than half of the populations of Hawaii, the District of Columbia, California, New Mexico, Texas and Nevada. And, in the next 10 to 15 years, these half dozen “majority-minority” states will likely be joined by as many as eight other states where whites now make up less than 60% of the population.

In 2020, there are projected to be more nonwhite children than white children in the U.S. The nonwhite population is growing more rapidly than the white population.

Minorities accounted for 92% of the U.S. population growth between 2010 and 2018, with Latinos comprising just under half of the nation’s overall growth.

That assumes that the "United States" remains, well, united. I don't like this fact, but "My Country Tis of Thee" is gonna Balkanize along racial and ideological lines pretty damned hard in the not too distant future. I'm actually afraid for the groups what ain't white and/or Christian (and by that I mean Catholic) by the by. If that CHAZ incident and my own experiences in regards to Farmer's Markets is any indication, precious few minorities/POC's even have the most basic of grasps as to how gardens, crop rotations, businesses, etc. actually work.

When that Balkanization happens the remaining whites (who won't be of the SJW self/Christ hating variant BTW) will have fully taken Ayn Rand up on her proposals. That is, they will shrug in regards to their "burden" if ya catch my reference. Oh they'll help those who profess to follow their religious creed (as that's the only thing that can get different ethnic groups to see each other as "us" rather than "them"), but any and everyone else who ain't pale skinned? Fuck em'! Hope they suffered a great deal. I don't, but that'll be the general sentiment among those who ain't me.

My warning to the commie leftists who currently hold sway over all social institutions of any import is an ancient and simple one. "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it."

Hehe, or as some would call it: "America's Hat"

Still glad that invasion we launched way back when failed. Though I gather more than a few on your end would have preferred the opposite result. That drama teacher would never have gotten elected in a proper "American" Election. Nor would that Chinese Real Estate fuckery had gone over so smoothly for the Chinese if the "hat" was composed of actual states and held relevance in the Electoral College, House, and Senate...

It's not a widely held view today, but joining the United States was a popular sentiment during the 19th century. Indeed, many "old-stock" stock Anglo-Canadians had (and still have) ancestral ties to the thirteen colonies, the result of British empire loyalist ancestors who fled the United States as refugees. Regardless, it would have been unworkable to convince the slave-owning states to allow the incorporation of additional 'free states', states that could have given the abolitionist vote a clear majority.


Would I want to join the United States now? I think that our political philosophies are too different. From an outsider's perspective looking in, the United States has had a history and culture of escalation. Every idea that enters the mainstream acquires an exaggerated, superlative form; superlatives like libertarianism, with its notion of untrammelled free markets, is popular in America—and almost nowhere else—for a reason. Reflexive support among conservatives for the paternalistic American military state is another example of American radicalism. So too is the campaign by some leftist activists to "defund the police".

Why skin color is so unimportant to you? You and your family need to get real life experience. Move to San Jose (Costa Rica), Pretoria, Mogadishu or Islamabad with your entire family and live there for a few years. The locals will provide accurate feedback on the subject free of charge there. For example farmers from rural areas of Pretoria would be more than happy to swap place with your family.


Migration and multiculturalism produce parallel societies, which never ever worked in history. The affected places descend into major crisis sooner or later. Always. Why do you want to sacrifice the entire western civilization to prove that this time it will be different? Will it be different this time? What if the recent events, we witness on the streets, are only the prologue of a much bigger drama?

Oh, I've heard that. It's some low-ethics media outlet's scaretactic. But it's not true.


Um...Greece.


Also, the U.S. ....you know, the wealthiest country in the history of all recorded history. (though highly stratified wealth)

And...it's not just these two....

"Multicultural societies are today common and ubiquitous, but when did such societies become not only normal or typical but accepted or even celebrated? Most likely, multi-cultural societies begin to evolve early in prehistory, as ethnic groups migrated to regions and integrated into existing societies. However, we rarely see multiculturalism celebrated until much later in historical periods when large states became the norm.

If we look at examples of early societies in Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China, we often see examples of migrations or contacts between different ethnic groups. [1] In many cases, these migrations or contacts are neutral or do not lead to any major confrontation. We do see cultures mixing their ideas in the form of introducing new gods to a region or even architecture. Some cases where some level of multiculturalism may have been evident include societies that adopted foreign gods from their neighbors or other nearby cultures include the Hittites and Kassites, both Indo-Aryan speaking populations, who by around 1600 BC adopt gods from Anatolia and Mesopotamia.

However, what is clear in many of these regions is that one main culture prevailed in any given period, as seen in artistic and intellectual expression. This does not mean cultures were suppressed. On the contrary, integration and assimilation were common, where local customs, languages, and social norms were generally adopted by the population merging into a given urban society. Interestingly, even if that minority culture took power, often they retained the previous prevailing culture or even went out of their way to emphasize that culture through revitalizing older traditions and languages.
