Can also apply to other things. Ex. constitutional originalism in the US

The Critical Need for Positive Male Leadership in Today's Chaotic WorldThe Importance of Male Leadership In times of chaos, strong male leadership is essential to guide young people away from destructive paths. This leadership can come in various forms, from fathers and mentors to community leaders who set positive examples. From the recklessness on social media to the glamorization of gangs, cults, and hate groups, we're seeing the impacts of absent guidance. We examine real-world examples where the lack of responsible male figures led to disastrous consequences and discuss how positive male influence can steer our youth toward a better path. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation about why strong male role models are more essential than ever. Providing Guidance: Young people need mentors who can teach them about the consequences of their actions and the importance of making wise choices. Promoting Positive Values: Encouraging values such as respect, responsibility, and community can help combat the allure of gangs and reckless behavior. The challenges we face today require a collective effort to foster strong leadership and positive role models in our communities. By addressing the reckless behaviors perpetuated by social media, the allure of gang life, and the need for guidance, we can pave the way for a brighter future. Let us prioritize the development of strong, responsible leaders who can guide the next generation toward a path of success and fulfillment. Together, we can create a society that values compassion, responsibility, and community support. #PositiveMaleLeadership #SocialMediaImpact #GangAwareness #CultAlert #ViolentProtests #YouthGuidance #StrongLeadership #CommunitySafety #ParentalGuidance #SocietalChallenges #ResponsibleSocialMedia #TattooStigma #GangPrevention #CultSurvivors #HateGroups #PublicViolence #Consequences #MindfulParenting #YouthViolence #PositiveChange

We are in a bad way

This is so true and it really makes me question how our country devolved into this state of insanity.

"Mr. Trump's election demonstrates how American tolerance for the unacceptable is nearly infinite. There are hundreds of absolutely mind-boggling things I could point to from the past decade...But three election in a row, Mr. Trump has been a viable Presidential candidate and our democracy has few guardrails to protect the country from the clear and present danger he and his political appointees will continue to confer upon us. Clearly, Mr. Trump is successful because of his faults, not despite them, because we do not live in a just world...And now Republicans will control the executive branch, the Senate and the House of Representatives. There will be few checks and balances...

...Mr. Trump's voters are granted a level of care and coddling that defies credulity and that is afforded to no other voting bloc. Many of them believe the most ludicrous things: babies being aborted after birth and children going to school as one gender and returning home surgically altered as another gender even though these things simply do not happen. Time and again, we hear the wild lies these voters believe and we act as if they are sharing the same reality as ours, as if they are making informed decisions about legitimate issues. We act as if they get to dictate the terms of political engagement on a foundation of fevered mendacity.

We must refuse to participate in a mass delusion. We must refuse to accept that the ignorance on display is a congenital condition rather than a choice. All of us should refuse to pretend that any of this is normal and that these voters are just woefully misunderstood and that if only the Democrats addressed their economic anxiety, they might vote differently. While they are numerous, that does not make them right.

These are adults, so let us treat them like adults. Let us acknowledge that they want to believe nonsense and conjecture. They want to believe anything that affirms their worldview. They want to celebrate a leader who allows them to nurture their basest beliefs about others. The biggest challenge of our lifetime will be figuring out how to combat the American willingness to embrace flagrant misinformation and bigotry.

As Mr. Trump assembles his cabinet of loyalists and outlines the alarming policies he means to enact, it's hard not to imagine the worst, not out of paranoia but as a means of preparation. The incoming President has clearly articulated that he may dismantle the Department of Education and appears to be giving the wealthiest man in the world unfettered access to the Oval Office. He plans to begin mass deportations immediately and has announced his pick of a Fox News host as the defense secretary -- the list goes on, each promise more appalling than the last.

We would like to believe that many of the ideas on Mr. Trump's demented wish list won't actually come to fruition and that our democracy can once more withstand the new President and the people with whom he surrounds himself. But that is just desperate, wishful thinking. As of yet, there is nothing that will break the iron grip Mr. Trump has on his base, and Vice President-elect JD Vance is young enough to carry the mantle going forward for political cycles to come.

Absolutely anything is possible, and we must acknowledge this, not out of surrender, but as a means of readying ourselves for the impossible fights ahead."

-- Roxane Gay, "Enough", The New York Times, November 17, 2024.

This is one of the best, most spot-on pieces about where we are and what we must prepare ourselves for in the aftermath of Donald Trump's re-election to the Presidency. These gift links will allow you to bypass the NYT paywall and read the entire article, and I urge you to share these links with as many people as you'd like.

I received this in my messages today. I tried to reply but Tumblr says the blog doesn't exist. Maybe he blocked me. I don't know. But, I have no memory of trying to kill Trump.

Let's keep these kind of people out of the white house

do you think there's like a whole cult dedicated to nps/a specific np

Yes. I feel like there are a lot of different types. First are the ones that think NPs are literal gods who should be worshipped. This is more common with older nations who've been around for millennia like China and ancient Rome. There are customs and superstitions that date back thousands of years.

The second types are people who see them as a connection to their own religions. For example, there are fringe cults that see America as a prophet sent by the Christian God to guide the American people. Expect a lot of extreme religious nationalism in these types of cults.

Another type of cult is people who claim they are nations. These ones are pretty rare, but they do pop up sometimes. A cult leader will claim they are an NP and try to create a remote society as their "country". They lure people in by promising to create perfect utopias. Their downfalls usually involve territorial disputes and tax evasion. The leaders are usually arrested for NP fraud.

Currently thinking about Tyra Banks’ simple but chic ESPY Awards look from 2000.

I don’t know what I love more… the high ponytails or the shine the bedazzled choker brings to the look. Having lots of thoughts! [ x ]
