Happy July 4th, all. America is the greatest conceptual attempt at good governance known to the history of man. America’s emergence in world history was not merely exceptional, it was forcefully declarative in its assertion of eternal truths and their role in shaping.

This Jeffries speech is a blatant parody of statesmanship. He is treating the house floor like a church pulpit and arguing not from sound reason or observable truth, but from his own private understanding of religion that is weaponized for political ends. Sentiment, rather than.

The spectacle of temporary political moments, like fights over pending legislation or desired policy outcomes, often cause observers to frame their analysis in factional terms where charitability is denied to their opponents and the whole affair is reduced to loyalty testing.

The psychosis displayed here is a result of celebrity culture’s fixation on the spectacle of personality over just or honorable behavior. Celebrity culture poisons values by building them on image—an unstable foundation—and divorcing them from first principles and right reason.
Combs’ supporters are spraying baby oil on each other outside of the courthouse.

As thinking people it is insufficient for us to merely hold the correct positions on certain issues in absence of a strong moral posture which provides a secure foundation for our beliefs. Posture, rather than mere position, is the birthright of moral conduct:

The reason socialism and its advocates like Zohran Mamdani hold a strong sway over young people is because it hijacks their sentiments with plausible reasoning. Moral education is the only strong bulwark against the doctrines of socialism on the impressionable:

Citizenship in a country founded on axiomatic notions is a moral designation before it is a legal status. The legal status necessarily follows the moral designation, not vice versa. American citizenship should be measured by how well individual Americans are postured towards.

Zohran Mamdani's rise is not first a political crisis; it is a sign of moral crisis that has been slowly eroding American society for decades. The answer to the rise of socialism is not alarmism or consequentialism, it is moral education rooted in sound philosophy. Enjoy:

Cultural identity shapes social order, and social order shapes what kind of governance a nation will have by necessity. The moment your cultural identity endorses barbarism and antagonism as operative standards, political authority will reflect humanity’s worst impulses.
In all my years skirting the fringes of right-wing groups, I’ve never once been at a meeting or rally where a crowd openly chanted death to anyone, let alone thousands screaming it in unison.

Consequentialist arguments didn’t stop socialism from taking root in American society despite decades of the anti-communist movement using them ad nauseam, and they certainly won’t work in the digital age where information is curated to fit preconceptions. Moral education, rooted.

Re: today’s monumental SCOTUS ruling against Kritarchy (judicial tyranny), please take a few moments to consider my analysis of how the judiciary in its current form has suffered from moral decay. Today’s ruling will go a long way in correcting that.
Judicial tyranny doesn't just cause issues in the structure of a political system, it also erodes the moral character of a citizenry. An excerpt from my most recent video:

Perspective (how you see matters, not what position you hold) ultimately sways the conclusions we reach on any given topic. If you view society as a struggle between oppressor and oppressed, your ability to reach sound conclusions will conform to your perspective to the exclusion.

To many socialists, identity markers are merely a signifier for someone’s proximity to capitalism, and therefore is treated no differently than anything else they see as “vice.” Their worldview is so framed that proximity, not conduct, is the standard for justice. This is little.
I don’t think we should tax people based on their race or the race of their neighbors.

America first is not a justification for war in many cases, it is instead a doctrine of peace. Peace preserves the moral duty of the statesman to his nation, and in its absence both conflicting interests and scattered focus erode this obligation. I explain more here:
