Spiritual solutions vs. secular policy

Improving material conditions, bolstering good education, broadly providing at least decent standards of living to all while rebuilding civic society are concrete ways you can start to cure the spiritual rot and you don't need to bring a god into it at any time at all.

Highlights never do the bout justice imo

Another example of a truly rigged system, where innocent workers are screwed over by politics Hope they do right this wrong !

The stage at which 'policy making' has turned into 'desperately controlling the narrative'

Think back to all the religious fanatics raving about spiritual solutions to "inner corruption". Salem witch trial rhetoric. Fundamentally irrational. I don't need a politician to cleanse my inner spirit or whatever stupid medieval concept. Go work on legislation to help everyone here in REALITY.

They all suffer from Islamophobia as they and the West in general, for centuries, has always suffered from. The bizarre fear of an alternative religion that’s roots lie in the belief of the same ‘imaginary friend’. Humanity is destined to remain forever in the stupidity of chosen ignorance.

Absolutely. Dow Constantine, Jenny Durkan, and Bruce Harrell did not take its competition seriously enough and as a result we’re ten years in with not much to show for it.

Unless everyone’s rights are protected, no one’s rights are guaranteed

Even if no actual intent exists, it still matters because words from high profile leaders shape expectations, both at home and abroad.

Now make spay neuter law.

Man-babies. No personal responsibility. Not held accountable to the laws they enforce on all else.

Unfortunately, not who we are tho. I do think it is, going forward, who we need to be.
