our country to heal. But it must be a populism dedicated to
mutual respect, not one guided by vengeance and stagnant
grievance. Having the ability to advocate for and see one
another clearly is the only thing that will begin to heal not
just the class divide but America itself. Liberty and civic
harmony have been hijacked by partisanship. Our friendly
disposition toward demagoguery and authoritarianism is allowing
it to happen.</span></blockquote>
We shouldn't trust our immediate reaction but advocate for and see
one another clearly to make better choices.
<p>I recently read the latest book by Mathew Fox where he infers
that Donald Trump and the MAGA movement are the Antichrist. he
draws from the mystics like Meister Eckhart to try to understand
the significance of the anti Christ which is very interesting. </p>
<p>His inference to the contemporary American context however is
entirely based on the unexamined dominant narrative endorsed by
the rich and powerful. I was very disappointed having a youthful
hero of mine hypocritically slandering the MAGA movement as
intolerant bigoted self serving liars. </p>
<p>In his uncritical praise of Kamala Harris he ignores that the
Democratic party canceled its primaries to push Kamala and her
unwavering support of war and the deep state into power. Her lie
during her debate with Trump that there were no active American
service men in counties at war was never fact checked in the
mainstream media. <br>
</p>
<p>The Democratic party was once a party that stood for peace. Now
we find that one time anti war contenders for the Democratic
nomination; Tulsi Gabard and Robert Kennedy Junior are endorsing
Trump while GOP war criminals, Dick Cheney and George Bush are
endorsing Kamala. "by their fruits you shall know them"</p>
<p>At a MAGA event Organized by another one time democrat Bret
Weinstein; Russel Brandt, Jorden Peterson and Jimmy Dore make a
theological appeal for a populism of mutual respect and working
class solidarity to put an end to war.</p>
