America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Exactly Daniel. IMO, the whole idea of fair, has it's origin in childhood, where one child gets more than the other. Attempts at fairness result in chaos,,, To be fair Charlemagne willed his empire to his sons, equally, the result was a millenia of wars, as the descedants of his sons fought each other to rebuilt the empire. This led to the rule of primogeniture where the eldest son inherited the land and the titles, this too led to wars as the younger, disenfranchised sons and their heirs tried…
Actually, most of my life was dedicated to the pursit of justice. Our system isn't perfect. As my ol' pappy used to say, when he caught someone lying on the stand, sometimes justice takes a kick in the ass.
I don't believe in predestination.... People are able to overcome obstacles.
IMHO both Trump and Musk have overcompensated for personality deficits. But they eventually will have to fear each other.
Presybyterians like Carnegie and Rockefeller certainly believe in pre destination. I would wager that most of the Robber Barons in the Gilded age, believe in predestination.
A Musk vs Trump conflict is inevitable, there can only be one King..
But first Trump needs to get rid of the Constitution., or make it an irrelevant document, and the help of SCOTUS they are doing just that.
They are using our freedoms, to destroy our democracy.
People don't appreciate what they have, until it was they had.
Rockefeller was a Baptist, came from a line of preachers who opposed Presbyterian control. Supported Baptist theological seminaries.
There's no evidence about Carnegie. He established a hierarchy in his mills. One of them was in my home town. Hired Welsh people as managers, who mostly were Diciples of Christ, who do believe in a form of predestination, but accept the beatitudes (the least will be first) and practiced the social gospel.
Daniel, you said "IMHO both (Musk and Trump) consider themsemselves superior, and Trump ran on about genetics that sounds like eugenics. By rights, should turn off most of his financial supporters.
I am going to go out on a limb here. Western (Christian) culture is supremacist, and arrogant, it has no collective memory and as Thom Harmann said, no sooner than the last of a generation dies off than the cycle repeats itself, war and all. Which is about 80 years. The Eugenic movement, which Inspire…
People like Miriam Adelson, the Perlemutters, etc would go stright to the ovens. Thiel is openly a homosexual.
Musk's mom's family, famous chiropractors, migrated first to Canada and then to South Africa.
The founders of many of those German companies like Mercedes, in some cases were Jews. During the Nazi regime in Germany, a process called "Aryanization" took place, where Jewish-owned businesses were systematically taken over by non-Jewish individuals, effectively appropriating companies from their Jewish owners through forced sales, government pressure, and discriminatory laws, often at significantly undervalued prices; some prominent examples include large department stores like "Kaufhof," banking institutions like "Commerzbank," and industrial companies like "Siemens" which had significant Jewish ownership at the time. anumuseum.org.il/blog/m…
The appropriations were a big factor in Nazi support. These days tens of thousands of MAGATs lay in wait to appropriate government jobs from libtards.
