Completely fake but this won’t get community noted because the ceo wants me deported

Fatal misfortune can belong to multiple orders, both that of apparent chance (divine permission whereby God allows misfortunate to occur for a variety of reasons) and that of divine judgement (whereby God positively ordains it). Inferring wickedness on the basis of a nasty death would be to affirm the consequent, however.
English
@philliplede When the very same kind of destructive trap the wicked set for others fatally “catches their own foot instead”—the fittingness here esp. can’t be ignored.
But when a bad person gets a sudden rare fatal bodily ailment, *just as happens so often to the just/good*, I have pause

The moment when it is most necessary not to “grave dance” is the moment when you most want to.
We should celebrate the coincidence of natural condition and moral fault that death brings to the wicked, and the good that such death might bring to the living, but we should not celebrate anyone’s death simpliciter.
English
I mean “coincidence” in the Kantian sense. In life, there is a non-coincidence between ethics and nature. Strangely, this is what makes ethics possible, but it also forces us to confront questions like, “Why do bad things happen to good people?”—or, more precisely, “Why do worse things happen to better people?”
The hope is that, in death, morality and nature should finally coincide and justice should prevail. This is not a celebration of death itself, but only of the justice that may be accomplished through or beyond it. Any celebration is therefore extrinsic rather than directed toward death per se.
English
@philliplede Not sure we should even celebrate for 1st reason. To celebrate that almost sounds like pining for “karma” or something. Aren’t we calling it “coincidence” in the first place precisely bc we reject, as taught Christ, any 1:1 relation between sin and wordly/bodily misfortune?

Neoconservatism is a massive poison pill to the legitimate project of American interventionism, glimpses of which we saw in Bush Sr. and James Baker’s “New World Order,” but which was effectively destroyed by the unkempt Zionism of Feith, Wolfowitz, and Perle.
The danger of foreign misadventures is that they should make the efficient use of American power abroad appear impossible and popularize isolationism at home—leaving us exposed to less conflicted powers.
It turns out that destabilizing whole countries without any succession plan is bad for reasons both ‘humanitarian’ and practical.

It is a strange phenomenon to see Nick Fuentes and BAP, together, become the lone voices of reason on the far-right.
Broad swathes of the right are now eulogizing Graham as some kind of hero because he voted for the OBBB, as if that erases his long, storied legacy of advocating costly foreign wars to the utter detriment of the US. We have all acquired the recall power of goldfish.

Hysterical schlock like this almost makes you want to support Vance.

People are seriously applauding the late Lindsey Graham for being “pro-Trump” when it was politically suicidal to be anything else. Bottom-feeding invertebrates like Graham, who slithered their way back into the fold after opposing Trump at every turn and when it actually cost something, deserve no credit.
Graham is a major reason—perhaps the decisive reason—we are embroiled in a war with Iran today. He courted MAGA in order to inseminate it with his own neoconservative impulses and ultimately proved successful. He became a father despite his obvious unwillingness to ever sleep with a woman. In Trump and Trumpism, neoconservatives like Graham, who are in fact just Zionists, found a surrogate womb.
The ensuing generation of “neoconservatives” would bear its mother’s features so completely as to dispel all suspicion of its paternity.
This is why Romney, who was unwilling to compromise on his “integrity” to accomplish comparable goals, is an infinitely more moral man than Graham. He, at least, refused to fuck a woman he could not love. This is maybe a consequence of his Mormonism.

“Lindsey Graham was the shadow of Trump, his black self.”
Alexander Dugin@AGDugin
The sudden death of Lindsey Graham can be the black mark sent to Trump. I doubt it were Iranians. Most realistic it was Mossad job in order to push Trump to renew full scale war with Iran. It clearly means “you are the next”. Lindsey Graham was the shadow of Trump, his black self

It should tip you off that the entirety of the DR is in agreement with Netanyahu on this. He was not, in fact, a patriot.

Q: If you had one word to remember Lindsey Graham, what would it be? Netanyahu: Patriot.

I am saddened to learn of the passing of my former colleague, Senator Lindsey Graham. He was full of wit, energy, and charm, and he cared deeply about the Senate and the people of South Carolina. Doug and I are sending our thoughts and our prayers to his friends and loved ones.

The death of the depraved is a mercy to them insofar as it prevents further depravity, protecting them—and the most eternal part of them—from greater abasement.
The harm they might inflict upon others is bodily, but the harm they do to themselves is incorporeal and of a far greater kind—for its object, the soul, long outlives its mortal implements.
We can draw from this that the immorality of an injurious act can be measured in terms of what it injures.
English
So as not to speak ill of the dead, we mutilate their bodies, making them look better in death than they were in life. We cannot bring ourselves to mourn the whole person, both pockmarked and pleasant, so we create a double and mourn it instead. The good thing about corpses is that they cannot contradict us.

A foreign country detained a foreigner? Isn’t this called deportation to a “third country”?
Tucker Carlson@TuckerCarlson
An Amercian member of congress is threatened by foreign terrorists carrying American rifles, backed by a foreign military paid for by American taxpayers, and the US ambassador to that country says not a word in defense of his own countryman, and instead uses his social media accounts to promote his own vapid cable news appearances, which amount to propaganda for that same foreign country. It’s too much, too insulting and humiliating to America. This is how revolutions start. For the sake our nation, Mike Huckabee should be removed from his post immediately.
