Do children of narcissists grow up to be narcissists? Is it a generational thing?
Or 8-track
Velvet Guillotine: No tanks. No coups. Just memos, robes, and silence. Refusal as Ritual: To name it is to resist it. To archive it is to expose it. To metabolize it is to survive it. đ
Mimicry, Hollowing, and Tactical Refusal The rituals remain, flags, courts, elections, but, the meaning mutates. Constitutional Mimicry Language of liberty, aesthetics of democracy, but the soul is gone⊠đ
The Book of Ruth is in the OT. Conversely, the Book of J is not included.
Iâd say religion is unfortunately still having a âgood run.â People have a hard time admitting they were duped by religion. It takes admitting youâve been a fool for dogma. Those people would rather double down than admit to being wrong.
I can analogize that premise to a seedling â the bigger it gets, the faster it gets bigger.
Where?
Where?
Awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Rudy Giuliani cheapens that prestigious award.
If a god is crappy that god was created by crappy thinking. All Gods are products of human thought, then thought thinks itself as a proverbial god. Itâs all thought, all in the mind. God isnât actual. But people want to believe, so they do.
Itâs truly curious how people ascribe human attributes to their Gods. That points towards men made their gods in manâs image, not vice versa.
Originalism as Weapon: The Constitution is not interpreted, itâs repurposed. Rights become conditional. Dissent becomes deviance. đ
Judicial Capture and the Ritual of Enforcement The velvet guillotine doesnât roar, it rules. Federalist Societyâs Long Game: SCOTUS is no longer a check. Itâs a blade. Heritageâs Project 2025: Bureaucratic purge, ideological enforcement, and loyalist implantation. đ
Catholic Integralism: Behind the scenes, thinkers like Deneen and Pappin sketch a state that enforces virtue, not pluralism. MAGA as Delivery System: The movement becomes a Trojan horse for postliberal order, less populist, more punitive. đ
As a child I was fascinated by Greek and Roman mythology.
Postliberalism as Mission, Not Persona Vance isnât a clone, heâs a vessel. Postliberalism doesnât seek reform; it seeks regime change. Common Good as Control: Individual liberty is reframed as chaos. The âcommon goodâ becomes a moral cudgel. đ
MAGA without Trump is mimicry without magnetism. JD Vance, despite his tactical fluency, lacks the mythic aura. The movement knows this. Thatâs why succession is cloaked in silence. The cult cannot survive the death of its prophet, but, something colder might. đ€
Velvet Guillotine: No tanks, no coups, just memos, rulings, and executive orders. The dismantling is procedural, not theatrical. Itâs not tyranny in boots, itâs tyranny in robes.
Phase III: The Ritual of Hollowing Out Constitutional Mimicry The language of liberty remains, but its meaning mutates. Rights become conditional, pluralism becomes chaos, and dissent becomes deviance.
SCOTUS as Decider, Not Defender: With a sympathetic president and a compliant Congress, the Court becomes less a check and more a weapon. Constitutional interpretation shifts from protection to enforcement of a singular moral vision. đ
Heritage Foundationâs Tactical Blueprint Heritage isnât just a think tank, itâs a policy factory. Their Project 2025 outlines a plan to purge the federal bureaucracy and install loyalists who will enforce a postliberal agenda from withinâŠ
âŠespecially on abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and administrative power.
Phase II Institutional Capture via SCOTUS Federalist Societyâs Long Game: With members like Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett, the Federalist Society has already reshaped the judiciary. Their originalist framework often aligns with post liberal goals⊠đ
From Individual Rights to Common Good The postliberal vision reframes governance around âthe common good,â often defined through religious and traditionalist lenses. This shift threatens the constitutional balance between individual liberty and state power.
No I have not read that book. Iâd like to though. The Hinduâs have millions of Gods. Pick one that suits your agenda.
âŠInfluenced by thinkers like Patrick Deneen and Gladden Pappin, this movement rejects liberal pluralism in favor of a âmuscular stateâ that enforces a moral order
Phase I: Postliberalism as Mission, Not Persona JD Vanceâs Postliberal Turn: Vance isnât just MAGA 2.0, heâs the intellectualized vessel of a Catholic postliberal movement that seeks regime change, not reform.
The Velvet Guillotine Postliberalism, Judicial Capture, and the Quiet Dismantling of Constitutional Order Contâd đ
Iâm no agnostic. Took me awhile before I would identify as an Atheist tho. But it boils down to, I donât âbelieve inâ anything. Belief is opinion. Facts donât need belief.
đđ» thereâs a lot to unpack with the Church of Latter Day Saints. Ever hear of the âBlood Atonementâ? In Journal of Discourses, Vol 4, Brigham Young said that âsome sins are so bad they cannot be atoned for with water, but must be atoned for by the shedding of the blood of the sinner himself.â
I remember that.

You donât think itâs odd that Ivanka doesnât seem uncomfortable in any of those photos? I do.
Interesting. Did you know Joseph Smith was a diviner and a fortune teller? Then he found gold tablets with sacred Hebrew scripture in Egyptian in upstate NY. Hebrew scripture in Egyptian? I question that. Then he translated all that into English with a couple of rocks. Okay đ
The fact that life IS finite is what gives life so much significance.
Information is knowledge. Knowledge is memories of experiences stored in the brain. Thought is a response of memory. Truth in the moment is non local, but information as knowledge, I reiterate, is very much localized.
I lean towards anyone who experiences metaphysical activity during a ghost hunting is encountering what they expect to encounter. Probably figments of imagination. I donât believe in disembodied spirits.
Youâre correct. Residual thought as matter does hang around for awhile, but it dissipates over time. Iâve been ghost hunting too, most recently in the Pensacola lighthouse keeperâs quarters, where the keepers wife died during childbirth. I sensed zero metaphysical activity.
Information as ânon-local?â In its initial phase as truth information os non-local. Once encountered by thought and then registered in the brain, information becomes knowledge and very much localized.
Know what? Most theists believe they have a monopoly on ethical conduct. But I beg to differ. Theists have forgiveness on tap. They sin all the time then beg for forgiveness. Atheists own their conduct and therefore are less likely to violate ethical standards. Just my observation.
The story of King Arthur, Guinevere, and Merlin, and Lancelot is a very cool legend. One of my all time favorite storylines. Thereâs no veracity to that story, itâs just a cool story.
Excuse that dang typo ânois.â Insert âno.â
Tell me about it! Deep South religion & politics ran me out of the Deep South. And, Floridaâs mosquitoes are rumored to have alligator heads. I hate the Deep South humidity. Imho the Deep South is almost unfit for human habitation.
There is nois autonomous consciousness after death. I think perhaps thereâs a stream of anonymous human consciousness, but no autonomy. People insist on clinging to autonomy. Fear of leaving the known is a powerful mental catalyst to believe in the fairy tale of autonomous life after death.
I second that đŹ
The fairy tale was more palatable when I believed, then critical thinking upended belief. These days I donât believe anything. Facts donât need to be believed, theyâre facts. Dogma, otoh, requires blind belief. Thatâs crazy. đ€Ș Believe nothing, question everything.
âSouthern Baptist.â Which was once aligned with the Church of Christ until they split on instrumental music & the âonce saved, always savedâ doctrine. Isnât it odd how Christianity has so many factions with different dogmas?
I was in the Cotswolds in 1973 around Upper and Lower Slaughter, and I remember seeing a henge around there.
Thatâs interesting. Each family had their own church. Did each church have different dogma?
You keep waving âfurry hackersâ dumps around, but never link a single file or article. Thatâs classic deflection, not evidence. If you truly believe Heritage or Project 2025 was breached by a âfurry hackersâ group, post the dump or a credible source. Otherwise this is just gaslightingâŠ
^ If youâre trying to wave that away, itâs not because itâs irrelevant, itâs because itâs inconvenient.
Post liberalism is transnational. Hungary is the test case. America is the target. Vance is the bridge. This isnât about geography, itâs about ideological fluency. Iâm naming the connective tissue between European illiberalism and American post-liberal strategyâŠ
^If youâre ignoring that, youâre not analyzing, youâre deflecting.
The Hungarian Conservative interview with Deneen lays out the post-liberal blueprint JD Vance is executing. Itâs not about Hungary, itâs about the ideological export model. Vance praises OrbĂĄnâs policies, aligns with Deneenâs regime-change rhetoric, and is backed by Heritageâs domestic machinery
Iâve noticed. I steer clear of religion, yet canât escape believers in my daily existence. Iâm a live & let live kinda person. But Iâmma call out bullshit wherever it surfaces. âđ»
Obfuscation is a tactic. Clarity is resistance. I name what others blur. If youâre masquerading as a liberal while defending post-liberal capture, I see you. And I wonât be gaslit into silence.
U R overwhelming my posts w/ bad-faith replies to drown out signal w/ noise. U R Shifting the conversation away from my core point to bait me into tangents. UR Gaslighting, pretending my facts are fiction to destabilize my confidence. U R projecting, accusing me of the very tactics youâre using. đ
I agree to an extent. Yet JD is 1st in the line of succession, Trump isnât well, and JD is the avatar for the Christian Nationalists/Post Liberalists. Do you understand what happens in a post liberal society? Do you? I donât think so.
bsky.app/profile/57ke... Neither China nor Russia funds the Heritage Foundation.
I donât read anything on social media and take it as factual. Youâre a troll and I think youâre obfuscating, trying to take the focus off of the facts into your own personal propaganda. China nor Russia funds Heritage. Go away with your bullshit.
âSorryâ but you are clueless as to Post Liberalism coupled with Christian Nationalism. Or you do know, & so you are attempting to obfuscate the actual facts. Which is it? đ§
Sorry but youâre so off base thinking that JD needs charisma⊠when he assumes the presidency, and installs a post liberal order, JD wonât need votes. Please do research on âPost Liberalism.â Apparently you know nothing about Post Liberalism. Clearly your ignorance shows. research. Educate yourself.
JD doesnât need charisma. You are missing the point about the Post Liberal regime about to take control of the US Government. In a post liberal âilliberal democracy,â votes are merely symbolic. Once JD assumes the presidency, we could be stuck with him forever. Thatâs why 2026 is so crucial.
I told you posts ago to stop with your erroneous talking points. Now you resort to telling me Iâm not using my brain. Go away troll. I donât have time for you. Seriously I am about to block your irrelevant self
Please stop wasting both yours and my time. Do some freaking research instead of parroting what you may have read somewhere on social media.
Trump IS NOT âtheir man.â JD Vance is âtheir man.â He always has been. Trump & MAGA was used for votes, no more, no less. Notice how Trump has to have every E.O. explained to him, because he has no clue what heâs about to sign until they tell him. Trump is a moron tool.
Trump is NOT a Christian Nationalist or a Post Liberalist. Trump and MAGA was used for crowd garnering of votes. They donât want Trump. JD Vance is their avatar. Wake the freak up.
I know that, and thatâs what I keep trying to tell this man who insists that Heritage is funded by Russia and China. Thank you.
Itâs like someone who has done the actual research is being shot down by someone with no actual knowledge of the facts. This is getting monotonous. Do some actual research. âFurry hackersâ spare me⊠đ
And Ziklag, the uber wealthy evangelicals in America who work in conjunction with the Heritage Foundation in the Christian Nationalist arena, DONâT NEED DONATIONS FROM ANYONE. Please do some research then get back with me. Iâm tired of trying to explain the obvious to you.
I didnât miss anything. The Heritage Foundation is NOT funded by Russia or China. Please take your head out of your ass. Tyvm
Also⊠Heritage regularly publishes reports warning about threats from both Russia and China, especially regarding military, cyber, and ideological influence. So stop with your bullshit about Russia and China funding the Heritage Foundation. Thatâs just propaganda.
Who funds the Heritage Foundation? U.S.-based donors: Wealthy individuals, corporations, and foundations aligned with conservative causes. Membership and grants: Heritage claims over half a million members and publishes financials like IRS Form 990s, which show no ties to foreign governments
PS, Trump is the Russian asset. The Christian Nationalists/Post Liberalists (Opus Dei via Heritage, and Ziklag) donât need to cuddle up to Russia or China. Hello. I donât know where youâre getting your information from.
That was no âhollow threat.â You underestime the Christian Nationalists. Opus Dei is not funded by Russia or China. Youâre off base. If we donât take back the House in 2026, kiss American democracy and rule of law goodbye. Until you actually research the facts, we donât have anything left to say.
A good friend said to me: <> And that particular friend is one of the smartest people you could ever meet. Heâs a quantum physicist/flight instructor. What do you do for a living Kevin? Are you *that* educated?
No such thing as a âwhite white whiteâ class in NYC public schools. Even in the IGC, although mostly white, had some diversity. Those kids in 4th grade IGC were cruel! Thatâs why mom took me out of the IGC. It screwed up the rest of my life to tell you the truth.
Right on. đ
The fixation on Trumpâs charisma and MAGAâs collapse misses the deeper architectureâŠChristian Nationalists and Post-Liberalists have already embedded themselves in the machinery of governance, and theyâre moving forward with or without the cultic figurehead.
Youâre so far off base Chris. The Heritage Foundation is an arm of Opus Dei USA. Opus Dei doesnât need money from Russia or China. Opus Dei is a prelature of the Vatican.
In essence, Trump was the trumpet. Heritage wrote the score. Post-Liberalists didnât need the melody, they needed the crowd. Now the concertâs over, and the regime is writing laws in silence.â
Self pretzel-ization is a good analogy for sure. How twisted does one need to be to literally believe this crap? đ€Ż
You donât understand. The Christian Nationalists/Post Liberalists donât need Trump or MAGA anymore. All they needed from Trump and MAGA was votes. They now have control of all 3 branches of government. Mission Accomplished. Pay attention.
What book makes people gay? I donât know that book. đ
Then what? JDVance assumes the presidency as King, and his alliances with Kevin Roberts, Patrick Deneen, and Elmo will catapult him into a post-liberal illiberal society where your vote and my vote will be merely symbolic. Trump is a symptom, his demise is not a cure.
When myth is weaponized, the fairy becomes a warlord. The Rod of Iron theology literalizes Revelation into ritualized violence, crowns of bullets, holy AR-15s, and divine sanction for domination. Itâs not just bad exegesis. Itâs mythic literalism masquerading as sacred duty.
Anyone with half a functioning brain knew most everything Trump said on the 2024 campaign trail was âcomplete bullshit.â Only those susceptible to total gaslighting believed otherwise. Trump was serious about sicâing the military on dissidents, and mass deportations. We knew that too. #MAGAmorons đ€Šđ»ââïž

Trump is a scab. The wound is deeper, post-liberal rupture, symbolic dislocation, armed theology. When heâs gone, the bleeding wonât stop. We need sutures, not spectacle.
The world doesnât stand a chance if these nations unite. Trump is too stupid to know USA will never be one of the boys.
Trump isnât the disease; heâs the symptom that drew blood. The wound is structural, decades of civic erosion, symbolic dislocation, and elite consolidation. Post-liberal theorists like Deneen name it. Rod of Iron Ministries ritualize it. And Trump? He performs it.
Post-liberalism isnât a retreat, itâs a reorientation. Patrick Deneen argues that liberalismâs promise of neutrality masked elite consolidation. Now, a new class of âaristopopulistsâ is rising. JD Vance is the prototype.
Patrick Deneen isnât just theorizing post-liberalism, heâs mapping its elite transition. JD Vance, Hungary, and the end of managerial liberalism. This interview is a primer.
For those not yet aware, hereâs a good into to Professor Patrick Deneen, author of âWhy Liberalism Failed,â & âRegime Change,â who is aligned with both JD Vance and Kevin Roberts. #HeritageFoundation #PostLiberalism #JDVance #WakeUp www.hungarianconservative.com/articles/int...

An RFK Jr quote: "I know people, including members of my family, who've had a much worse time getting off of SSRIs than they have getting off of heroin." He has multiple friends and family members who had more trouble detoxing from heroin than SSRIâs? Seriously? đł www.newsweek.com/rfk-launches...
âRod of Iron Ministries.â Rod of Iron Ministries blesses rifles as divine authority. Christian nationalism isnât coming, itâs already ritualized. Revelation 19 is their liturgy. This âcartoonâ depicts actuality in America. www.businessinsider.com/maga-gun-chu...
Rod of Iron Ministries, started by Sean Moon, arms believers with AR-15s as âdivine authority.â Christian nationalism isnât fringe, itâs ritualized, weaponized, and growing.
