Thanks for reading it! LOL @ Savio! That speech- and that song- gets me juiced up! Wretches and kings... we come for you! I said (sang) that in my head in Chester's voice! (May he RIP)
I appreciate the thoughtfulness of you posting John 15:18. It is challenging to not let the world cause us to hate, it is also difficult to stand against that world while maintaining fidelity to Christ. Often... very often, I must remind myself of this. This is a war being waged upon us on many levels, and our path to victory does not travel through dehumanization and hate.
I do agree that a true multicultural civilization would be one that is still tethered to, say, natural law, and the individual differences are *additive* such that "live and let live" ethos is still adhered to with regards to others (ie no Charlie Hebdo stabbings). Placing everyone in a playpen doesn't seem to accomplish that goal.
One of my theories has been that mass migration and artificial multiculturalism are great ways to inculcate resentment towards foreigners in order to then manufacture consent for foreign wars. In the '10s, the influx of refugees to Europe from countries such as Syria likely was not conducive to shared cultural values, and certainly increased animosity and social instability (potential energy, if one may). It only takes a mass synch ritual like Oct 7 to direct all this strong emotional force into support for Israel, even as it is slaughtering Palestinians without care. Not sure if my theory is rooted in reality though, haha.
Great stuff! Also I couldn't help but read "appartus" in Savio's voice haha. Wretches and Kings!
Also, for less obvious reasons, I was left thinking about ol' John 15:18: "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you..."

Another great piece as always.
