a globe-spanning mossad influence operation which manipulates our politicians, business-people and academics from the shadows with child rape and blood sacrifice is already pretty grand …
what larger context do you mean? spiritual warfare?
bad word bad! no context! only hurt feelings! whos feelings? an imaginary person that might get offended! also they are underage.
Sorry i deleted my comments because i thought you were saying something you weren’t, and responded ungenerously.
Your points are well taken, especially concerning silence itself constituting a moral act (or inaction), especially in the context of injustice or deceit.
My interpretation is that Matthew instructs us towards an active, radical love which demands that we act against what is unjust.
I recognise that this view of JC stands at the edge of a slippery slope, where violence can be condoned in Christian terms by the great manipulators of the world, but in our historical moment, i see a greater danger in emphasising the pacifist, passive aspects of JC. I am more afraid of his flock becoming domesticated and losing their ability to discern between true and false, and therefore also between right and wrong. I guess I choose to believe it is more wrong to pacify a righteous anger than it is for that righteous anger to miss its mark.
He entertained the devil during his temptation, and even hinted towards the instrumental nature of evil in the abstract, but he did not hesitate to take great offence at seeing money lenders ply their trade in the house of his Father. In one there is an implied recognition of the value of the work, and in the other a complete rejection.
Where does your confidence even come from? western media? the same media which serves the epstein class?
Also you realise that russia is not a communist country right? so accusing me of being a ‘tankie’ here doesn’t really make sense…
I know it’s painful to hear something that isn’t reinforced culturally on the ABC but australia is not a sovereign country, whereas russia is. It is really is that simple. Live wherever you want, prefer whichever country you want, but reality will still be reality.
it sounds like you don’t distinguish between australians and ‘Australia’.
One is a group of people that (if you live here) probably includes everyone you like, know and love, including your immediate family. The other is a nation which exists within a historical and material context, one which can and must be criticised as a matter of civic duty.
Which country recently passed legislation restricting speech on behalf of the zionist entity? the one you live in or the one you read about in australian media?

my russian is a little rusty, plus unfortunately my family still live here.
You think that calling a spade a spade is disloyalty? I just gave a neutral description, i could have been much more flattering of russia and disparaging of australia, but who cares how i feel? i’m just describing reality.

Not super fair to compare a constitutional republic like the russian federation to an american vassal like australia. They don’t have zionists writing their social media laws to pick just one example of australians not deciding what happens in australia.
china already have a supercritical carbon dioxide system integrated into a functioning powergrid and operating commercially. The system exploits an exotic phase of co2 which expands to fill a volume like gas, but moves frictionlessly through tubes as a liquid. There are concerns about lifespan because of how caustic the system is, but apparently some new materials are being trialled which negate this.
russiagating in 2026? catch up
do they have a gofundme i can donate to?
tl:dr when they say ‘I have nothing to hide’ you respond with 'you aren’t even really you without privacy so you can’t really say what ‘you’ have to hide. Then when they give you a confused stare you walk them through the previous logical steps. I’m not sure it’s incredibly persuasive IRL especially to the kind of person who would argue against their own fundamental human rightd in this way (i’ve had similar chats with my own father fwiw) but it’s a good starting point.
Following up with concrete examples of harm (which don’t rely on a logical chain of propositions) is a good follow up.
being monitored (even if you are not aware of it) changes your behaviour via the ‘big brother’ effect.
Your behaviour is most of what makes you an individual, and is the means through which people express their autonomy and social existence.
putting these things together gives you the result that you cannot fully be ‘yourself’ while you are being watched. At best you are performing what you’d like ‘yourself’ to be for an expected audience.
Self actualisation, or the process of developing and becoming ‘yourself’ is therefore disrupted meaning that you can never be or know yourself while you lack real privacy.
Another (more dramatic) way to say it would be you cannot be fully human without also enjoying a default privacy
not having kids is one of the few things i am utterly, truly grateful for.
why are mum and dad fighting?
