C.S. Lewis: Screwtape proposes a Toast. (With minimal commentary)
The short sequel "Screwtape Proposes a Toast" (1959), first published as an article in The Saturday Evening Post, is an addendum to The Screwtape Letters; the two works are often published together as one book.[9] The sequel takes the form of an after-dinner speech given by Screwtape at the Tempters' Training College for young demons. In stage adaptations it is sometimes added as a prelude, making the work a prequel.[10] "Screwtape Proposes a Toast" is Lewis' criticism of leveling and featherbedding trends in public education; more specifically, as he reveals in the foreword to the American edition, public education in America (though in the text, it is English education that is held up as the purportedly awful example).[citation needed]
The Cold War opposition between the West and the Communist World is explicitly discussed as a backdrop to the educational issues. Screwtape and other demons are portrayed as consciously using the subversion of education and intellectual thought in the West to bring about its overthrow by the communist enemy from without and within. In this sense "Screwtape Proposes a Toast" is more strongly political than The Screwtape Letters, wherein no strong stand is made on political issues of the day, such as World War II.[11]
Let's do a post mortem on the trucker protest. On the surface it appears the Canadian government won but is that really the case. Let's look at the power of a moral victory and how the application of force by the state can actually be self-defeating. This emphasizes the need to stay peaceful at all times since aggression never ages well.

Unfortunately we've seen this movie before and it ends in catastrophe.
The Biden administration’s latest Department of Energy hire is a “queer activist” named Sister Ray Dee O’Active who brags about his “kink” of leading other gay men who are pretending to be dogs around on leashes before having sex with them.

Tolerance is the corruption of the actual virtue of discernment. Tolerance has no red line or point at which it will say "no" because at this point it is no longer tolerance. Saying No means you recognize a definite point between what is right and what is wrong.
Let's look at how tolerance enables the invisible world of addiction and why the problem is getting worse despite our so-called superior virtues and enlightened beliefs.

A look at just how powerful the control of information can be and how much can be hidden in plain sight.
The Paul VI Audience Hall (Italian: Aula Paolo VI) also known as the Hall of the Pontifical Audiences is a building in Rome named for Pope Paul VI with a seating capacity of 6,300, designed in reinforced concrete by the Italian architect Pier Luigi Nervi and completed in 1971.[1] It was constructed on land donated by the Knights of Columbus.[2]
It lies partially in the Vatican City but mostly in Italy: the Italian part of the building is treated as an extraterritorial area of the Holy See and is used by the Pope as an alternative to Saint Peter's Square when conducting his Wednesday morning General Audience. It is dominated by an 800-quintal (8 metric ton) bronze/copper-alloy[3][dead link] sculpture by Pericle Fazzini entitled La Resurrezione (Italian for The Resurrection).[4][5] A smaller meeting hall, known as Synod Hall (Aula del Sinodo), is located in the building as well. This hall sits at the east end on a second floor.

So often we are told the 'good guy with a gun' argument is a myth. Not in this case. A good guy (girl) with a gun saved the day and quite possibly dozens of lives. With the argument won you would think this would be a clean sweep for the right, however, their weak rhetorical skills have dragged this issue out for years. Let's look at how we can help.

Who is Larry Fink? He's the founder and CEO of Blackrock. Blackrock and their allies have declared war on the middle class and they have a US economy sized wallet to wage it with. By buying up single family homes, taking advantage of a financial crises they created, they are able to rent those same homes back to the working class at rates they can barely afford to prevent them from ever being able to save enough to buy their own homes, therefore preventing them from building any real wealth.
From strangesounds.org:
"In the first quarter of 2021, 15% of U.S. homes sold were purchased by corporate investors — not families looking to achieve their American dream. While they’re competing with middle-class Americans for the homes, the average American has virtually no chance of winning a home over an investment firm, which may pay 20% to 50% over asking price, in cash, sometimes scooping up entire neighborhoods at once so they can turn them into rentals."
Eat the bugs and live in the pods.

David Axelrod, former senior adviser to Barack Obama said "Social media giants are eroding our consensus reality and pushing democracy to the brink"
What is our Consensus Reality? Is that the unified narrative, the collusion between government and big tech/news to create an illusion that allows them to control all that people see and therefore believe? It's interesting to watch the dynamic play out between the 'Truth' and the never-ending quest to eradicate it. Like playing whack-a-mole or a ship taking on water there are getting to be more holes than the global establishment can ever hope to plug.

Nothing really to do here but sit back and laugh. The narratives have gotten so tangled in the rhetorical battles for control of the precious victim card that it is nothing more than a shambling self contractictory mess. Grab the popcorn.
