The Leftist view of justice is to complain about white people having dreadlocks, Abuser-run Hollywood Oscar nomination quotas for blacks, and racist conspiracies against “Russians.” The Christ imitator’s view of justice means freeing millions of black persons, and all other persons, from violent prisons for all victimless crimes and regulations, uniting sons and daughters with […]
“In olden times, people used to look for scapegoats in those who were different in appearance and behavior. Then the crucifixion happened and, finally, we started making progress and tried hard to move away from the child sacrifice and witch hunting. We identified, with the compassion of Christ, that these people needed special care so […]

My recent essay‘s size constraints didn’t permit me to elaborate on this but I do have a nuanced view of the jury system theory.

Because he refuses to hide the knife of the state, Trump is a heretic invader in the Holy of holies of our state religion. That also makes him the scapegoat supreme of our reigning religion of state power which feigns decorum and transcendence to mask the vulgarity and power lust inherent in every state action. […]
We don’t need to imitate Christ as some neat project to “save Western Civilization.” Western Civilization, as it has been conceived, is dead. It is in the process of nailing itself to its own self-righteous cross for its moral failings and decadence. We need to imitate Christ because it is the only way to be […]
Whenever you stand in between an outraged mob looking to demonize and destroy a singular target with righteous zeal, you will always be accused of being in league with their devil. Your space outside of the oneness they experience together in rage gives them eyes to see you as a potential enemy as well. What […]
Once you allow the collective to use violence against a single nonviolent act like opium use, you open the moral authority for them to use violence to punish other nonviolent acts…like speech they deem hateful, wages they deem too low, milk that is not pasteurized, lack of health insurance, etc. The moral principle of Jesus-imitating […]
