Great post as always. Most people just want to be told what they want to hear and have their pre-existing views affirmed, which is why the pro-trump writers get so much more traction and positive reception. This seems like a recent phenomenon and is certainly a result of the pushing of the left-right culture war dichotomy. Most trumpers ignore things like all of the hated big tech, pro surveillance oligarchs siding with Trump. When it is talked about, it's usually presented as a win, but shouldn't they want these degenerate traitors to be prosecuted for their crimes, instead of keeping their power?

It's especially disheartening to see men as awful as Peter Thiel be celebrated by the right for being against "leftism", but most people don't realize that elites like him change ideologies as easily as we change clothes in the morning; they'll adopt the mantle of leftism as easily as they will rightism, depending on which is more beneficial at the moment in their constant pursuit for the consolidation of wealth and power.

Those on the right love the "vibes" and good feelings that Trump is giving them, rather than thinking logically. They feel good about the neutering of USAID, even though many have never heard of it before (much of the information about their activities has always been out in the open; you're only allowed to notice what the elite wants you to notice!), but miss the big picture as usual. It seems that USAID was mainly used to disseminate woke propaganda, and now that the woke psyop has run it's course, it's no longer necessary.

The surface level anti-corruption moves are only targeting the corruption of the "left", while the biggest acts of corruption in history, the mass bribing of elected officials by AIPAC and the looting of the public by the federal reserve, will be left untouched. I agree that America needs to completely decouple with Israel and let fate take it's course over there. We will never be a free country until all Israel lobby mechanisms are abolished. I also find it very ironic that the "anti-immigration" president is trying to force the mass immigration of millions of people who have been resisting pressure to leave their land for over 75 years (in stark contrast to many other countries in the region).

Wow. Beautiful article man. What a journey it has been. I think what I lament most is that I don’t know people in my local life who can face this kind of reality. I don’t know what to think about Christianity anymore and I have Rurik to thank for that. It took many years to go from zionist protestant to Ortho to, saying “I don’t know”.

As I finished up the article I couldnt’t help but imagine this song called “Oh my love” by Riz Ortolani.

Which also causes me to remember the movie drive. I wonder if that movie comes out a primordial archetype of european man played by ryan gosling, having to defend his people from the scheming of a particular people. Have you seen that movie? Very on the nose as they say. Things like that give me a ray of hope.

I think these things are archetypal and just like in the song the stars will fade away to bring a bright new day.

These people that run things will remain in darkness. For them, the light of Apollo burns, but for the good, they will be ferried into that bright new day.
