You need to hate. And when I say hate, I mean an extreme aversion and repulsion that would leave no other recourse but to drive you to actions that lesser men of weak convictions could not even imagine. The sun is setting on the West, and we are in the death throes of a collapsing society. “Christendom is dead.” The Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen once wrote of our modern time. “Not Christianity, not the Church, but Christendom. The economic, political, social life as inspired by Christian principles. That is ending – we’ve seen it die…” Listen to me when I say this. The church killed it. The church killed Christendom. Through inaction, apathy and weak convictions that led to a tolerance for all things evil. It let the rot in the spiritual fabric of our nation fester until it became gangrenous, pushing it’s poison through the blood of our society into every major artery; the justice system, the school system, journalism, media, the entire culture itself. Like the demonic French and Bolshevik revolutions alike, we are on the precipice of disaster, bloodshed and chaos that will last a hundred years. Why? Why has this happened? It’s simple. We did not HATE. “Let those who love the Lord hate evil,” Says King David in the Psalms. “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil;” wrote his son, King Solomon. And if that wasn’t clear enough, the LORD himself spoke in Psalms saying, “The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.” “Men have forgotten God,” Solzhenitsyn wrote of the ruinous Russian revolution, “That is why all this has happened.” And you, Christian, while your society and culture and all you hold precious balances on the edge of oblivion - Will you abide by the immoral filth and injustice that fills our streets? Will you be subdued into a passive state by “…everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—” Will you sit idly by while moral depravity is preached from your own puplit, and the enemies flag of conquest is hung from the church doors or painted on the church steps? Or will you, Christian, begin to hate that which God hates?

Today, Senate Democrats made a deliberate choice to play partisan games rather than do what’s right for the American people. By blocking the GENIUS Act from advancing, they failed to implement the kind of common-sense regulations that would have solidified America’s leadership in digital asset innovation. This bill wasn’t about politics—it was about building the future. It was about modernizing our outdated payment systems, and securing our position as the global standard-setter in financial technology. Instead, Democrats caved to fringe ideological factions, abandoning the opportunity to bring clarity to the market and foster American innovation. With this vote, they chose to stall a transformative piece of legislation that had strong bipartisan support. They had the chance to lead—and instead, they obstructed. The American people are watching, and they will remember who stood in the way of progress.

Verhoeven was entirely transparent about the film’s intent. He grew up in the Netherlands under German occupation during the Second World War and developed what he later described as a visceral aversion to all forms of what he regarded as fascism and totalitarianism. Given this background, he developed a deep aversion to Heinlein’s politics, abandoned the novel before completing the second chapter, and set out to construct a cinematic portrait of what he believed to be a fascist society taking shape in the modern West. His purpose was not to celebrate it, but to mock and condemn it. He assumed that by amplifying the aesthetics of militarism, hierarchy, and discipline, the audience would instinctively recoil, just as he did. That assumption guided the entire project from the beginning. But this is where the disconnect occurred. What Verhoeven failed to understand is that the values he intended to satirize — duty, order, sacrifice, strength — are not pathological or extreme. They are natural. They are normal. They are good. These are the virtues upon which civilizations have been built and which endure even in decline. The values Verhoeven celebrates instead, such as rootless autonomy, moral relativism, and the elevation of comfort over honor, are not universal. They are the cultural detritus of a decadent age. He assumed that by presenting these timeless, and again natural and noble, virtues in what he thought was a hypertrophied and unapologetically absurd manner, he could discredit them through visibility alone. Instead, he made them appear coherent, purposeful, and in many ways admirable. The strength of the film lies in the consistency of its internal logic. The society it depicts is stable, self-aware, and directed toward survival. Its characters are not adrift. They act with conviction and clarity. The violence they carry out is not random or gratuitous, but disciplined and necessary within the terms of their struggle. Verhoeven’s personal contempt for this worldview did not weaken its cinematic expression; it only revealed how little he understood the strength of what he was attempting to parody. So while he may have set out to craft a satire, what he ultimately produced was something closer to an unintended tribute. The problem was never that the audience misunderstood the film. The problem was that Verhoeven misunderstood the appeal itself, an appeal to structure, meaning, and the eternal dignity of ordered life. It continues to speak to those who have not yet been broken by the illusions of modernity.

Voting and debating (and all civil forms of politics) are for people on the same side, not for enemies. You vote and debate about things like: - Should we have all-day or half-day Kindergarten? - Should we put up a statue of our city's founder? - Should we build a power plant or preserve the natural area? - Which leader can best support our economy? You do not vote and debate on things like: - We want to normalize bottom surgery to your kids - One race owes another race money - Should you be allowed to keep your constitutional rights? - We're gonna let people move here from anywhere and give them your house - Certain groups need special treatment because of this bullshit we made up The former are political activities. The latter are acts of war. If you don't get what I'm saying, YOU HAVE NORMALCY BIAS. YOU ARE THE BOILED FROG. You are the dog in the burning house. You just WANT things to be fine, and you're letting fantasy win. I wonder if any of these posts ever get through to anyone. I'd love to do market research on how often certain types of message actually generate insight.

just a reminder to everyone that turning china into the factory of the planet will go down as one of the most significant political and economic blunders of all time
