Do you know how many times in this thread I've explained that I never expressed a desire for harm to come to anyone? And each time I'm just downvoted and mocked with a "we know what you really mean" attitude. No, really, I don't pine for that. Some people just really love to hate on Christians.

Good guess that I was referring to the one true living God! It sure is easy to communicate with fellow conservatives, but it's awfully suspicious to read those disrespectful minuscules.

I'm sure you're familiar with the Tower of Babel, which answers that question about divisions. However, all of the denominations (with extremely rare exception) agree on the essentials of Christianity.

As a conservative, I cannot. I assume you are a conservative too, seeing as how this is m/conservative. I can tell you far more about people who self-identify as conservatives than I can about leftists.

That being said, I can tell you what makes neo-marxist theory. Wait, I already typed it out above, in the comment starting with:

Woke is shorthand for the neo-marxist program to destroy western civilization.

That's a relatively short comment, but suffice to say all of the high-level goals of traditional Marxism have carried over into neo-Marxism.

Are there leftist authors writing about it? Probably, but that's not the sort of thing I read.

but they are not the place where the majority of people live and have conversations. 80% of the population lives in urban areas:

This is m/conservative, so it's a safe bet that everyone here either lives in an American small town or someplace culturally similar. If you're not a conservative, you're in the wrong place.

It doesn't seem to be a hell-hole to me

If you're surrounded by atheists and evil-doers who think morality is relative, you're in a hell-hole and you don't even know it. If you go outside and see more concrete and man-made structures than God's handiwork, then you're in an urban hell-hole. You may be used to it, and you may love it there. You may think it's not a hell-hole, and well, that's quite a pejorative phrase I'm using, and it's hyperbolic. But compared to God's country, every city I've been to (quite a few) fits well into that description. The type of people who live there tend to reject God and thereby embrace evil.

What is a "normal" person to you?

People who see themselves as normal, despite the personal quirks we all have. People who care about God, family, and country, in that order, above all else. A man who works for a living married to a woman who raises their family, who pray together, and who have zero interest in the constant bombardment of leftist ideology. If their kids are in public school, they worry constantly about indoctrination. People who are broadly traditional, living as we've always lived, more or less, according to God's plan.

You may be unfamiliar with the work of Daryl Davis, who has convinced over 200 KKK members to leave the KKK. He's achieved this through talking with them. When people are isolated in echo chambers, their numbers grow. It is only through open dialog that we can overcome irrational intolerance. There is no paradox.

I certainly do not advocate treason. That's a hell of an accusation.

Putting secession on the ballot is part of the Republican Party of Texas's official platform. It's a popular idea whose time has come, due in large part to our federal government's ignoring the Tenth Amendment.

Her name is Fluffy for obvious reasons.

Fair, but so does the center-left.

  1. To be very clear, in my opinion, Jews should not be gassed (or otherwise murdered), and not all trans people are pedophiles (I don't know the stats, but I'd guess they're about the same as the rest of the population).
  2. Anyone who disagrees on the preceding two points has every right to openly speak their mind in a free society. And whereas their free speech rights are our own free speech rights, we must defend their right to freely state their opinions in all public forums. Free speech is not for ideas we like, but precisely for the ideas we dislike.

That's true, and it's a good point. All of our behavior is rooted in our free will.

And quite a creative one at that.

Aww, shucks, that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all day!
