  1. A quotation from Robert Heinlein

    Could it be otherwise here? Could any one sect obtain a working majority at the polls and take over the country? Perhaps not — but a combination of a dynamic evangelist, television, enough money, and modern techniques of advertising and propaganda might make Billy Sunday’s efforts look like a corner store compared to Sears Roebuck. Throw in a depression for good measure, promise a material heaven here on earth, add a dash of anti-Semitism, anti-Catholicism, anti-Negroism, and a good large dose of anti-“furriners” in general and anti-intellectuals here at home and the result might be something quite frightening — particularly when one recalls that our voting system is such that a minority distributed as pluralities in enough states can constitute a working majority in Washington.

    Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988) American writer
    Essay (1952-10), “Concerning Stories Never Written,” Revolt in 2100, Postscript (1953)

  6. Looking forward to #SecT this week in Stockholm! Got a preview of the venue today and it looks pretty special ✨

  7. Yet, as for this your citizenship, I find it unnecessary. Were I able, I would gather all these servants of God, along with their wealth, and relocate to the "neighboring territory," but I am constrained, for my clandestine duties must be fulfilled precisely here, — Onufriy #Ukraine #laptyekanda #sect #spy

  8. "Та воно мені, це ваше громадянство, і не потрібно. Я, якщо б міг, зібрав би всіх цих рабів... божих з їхніми статками і вже б переїхав на "сопрєдєльную тєріторію" але не можу, бо агентурна робота відбувається саме тут", — Онуфрій #Ukraine #laptyekanda #sect #spy

  9. "The children of the followers of the "lama #Kunzang", founder of a Tibetan Buddhist #sect, grew up in the isolated estate of Sun Castle, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence."

    "Like all her misfortune comrades, she was locked up, beaten, deprived of food. And, like other little girls, raped. All at the nose and beard of the State services. Unpublished documents, consulted by "M Le magazine du Monde", reveal a chain of dysfunctions at all levels of the bodies responsible for the protection of children."

  11. This has nothing to do with Christianity or religion , it's a cult / sect around Trump.

  13. Bei #Microsoft zu arbeiten ist ja schlecht fürs #Karma. Aber auch sehr doof fürs laufende Leben:

    > Microsoft's culture isn't simply repugnant, it's actively dystopian and deeply abusive. Workers are evaluated based on their adherence to pseudo-science, their "achievements" — which may be written by generative AI — potentially evaluated by managers using generative AI.

  14. #Theologian says #Biden's exit and the #Republican choice of J.D. #Vance marks the symbolic end of Second Vatican Council Catholicism the in #US, and replaces it with a #racist and #identarian "project that transforms the #Catholic universalism of the #Church into a global mega #sect (whose headquarters is found in the United States)". “It’s a Catholicism in which there’s no room for the joy of the Gospel, but only for rage and resentment"

  15. 🇬🇧 #Film tip: "Women talking"
    (seen last night at #theaters).
    The story about a massive #abuse. A women's panel to decide for all #women in their village: Stay + fight or leave?
    Great actresses, deep dialogue and the question: how important is your bubble so you can be ready for your own# freedom?
    For me with family background in a #sect / #free church a very strong flick. Definitely watch it!!! #feminism #philosophy
