Young white college boys creating keywords to censor and control our highest levels of scientific research.
The word "systemic" is on the banned list, so if I study systemic inflammation & health, flagged. If I study political science, flagged. If I study trauma, flagged. Keep in mind that the largest mental health provider in the country is the Veteran's Administration, but we can't study trauma now?

Re: Idea the election was rigged. Unlikely given the current popularity stats. In the context of current income disparity and inflation, it makes sense that ~50% of the voters voted for him & also voted blue downballot. Add scary fast social change--white patriarchy was threatened. We're bifurcated.

"Think of the fed. govt. as a car. You might have thought the election was like getting [it] serviced. Instead, ...the mechanics...tell you they have taken the parts of your car that work & sold them & kept the money. And that this was the most efficient thing to do. And that you should thank them."
Please, everyone, drop what you’re doing and read this:

"Donald Trump has always fantasized about a deep state... that opposes him, something that didn’t exist. Now, he is well on the way to creating one. It turns out federal employees take their oath, their job, and their duty to serve very seriously." joycevance.substack.com/p/how-to-pus...

There is a reason Trump is afraid of the federal bureaucracy, the career civil servants he wants to replace.

Wasn't familiar with ordo amoris but found this nice description. It makes sense to me (whether you are pagan or monotheistic or agnostic or even atheist). But I think it would dictate that you feed the stranger first if it's between kin/community and non-kin/foreigners/enemies.
