James Lindsay goes after Paul Gottfried 1) who studied under Marcuse; and 2) whose name is all over Mises.org. [Yes, Paul Gottfried, Woke Is Marxist]( Mises Institute in the crosshairs. Not really news, I guess. Confession: I've seen some overlap between the 'conscientization' process in libertarian circles and the Leftist circles. There's always a 'conversion story' just like in many Christian circles. But make no mistake: Freire modeled his process after Christian conversion _intentionally_ and co-opted it for his Neo-Marxist project. Just because there's a counterfeit doesn't invalidate the original: in fact it's 'borrowed capital'. What with Rothbard's (a personal hero!) very brief foray into the SDS/New Left (sometime in the 60s?), I wouldn't be surprised if the ol' rascal picked up a few tricks... Don't get me wrong! I'm a die-hard 'Austro'-Libertarian, because I believe the NAP is the only viable political-economic system downstream from Natural/Moral Law--namely, the "second table" which includes "thou shalt not murder," "thou shalt not steal," etc. (which presupposes individuality and private property). And in Christian theology we summarize this "second table" with the words of Christ: "Love your neighbor" - because, as the Apostle Paul said, "love is the fulfilling of the whole law." Random smattering of a note, sorry frens.
...Poison Ivy again. 2000 MG of Vitamin C every hour starts now. Let's see if I can get rid of this without another steriod prescription. Thoughts welcome. #health #homeremedy #PoisonIvy
Kindly keep your national flag out of our worship space. Leave your partisan lapel pins in the car. We come as non-hyphenated Christians to worship the exalted Lord Christ, whose people hail from "every nation, tribe, and tongue." Keep that other stuff outside the Embassy while the Ambassador speaks. Thank you.

Yes, "God is love," but that does not mean "God is _only_ love." Above all things, God is HOLY: he is HOLY toward all. 'Blessedness' is what HOLINESS feels like to the justified. 'Wrath' is what HOLINESS feels like to the guilty. >Holy, holy, holy! is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come! [The Revelation 4:8](https://www.esv.org/Revelation+4/), ESV
> In the summer of 1925, the sleepy hamlet of Dayton, Tennessee, became the setting for one of the twentieth century's most contentious courtroom dramas, pitting William Jennings Bryan and the anti-Darwinists against a teacher named John Scopes, represented by Clarence Darrow and the ACLU, in a famous debate over science, religion, and their place in public education. That trial marked the start of a battle that continues to this day-in cities and states throughout the country. The Scopes "Monkey" Trail was staged as a PR stunt. Did you know?

Hey @Vitor Pamplona - with my new spam-free relay setup, I'm getting a few more 'Event is loading or cannot be found in your relay list' notices. Would it be possible to show what relays the missing event was posted to (or is that not included in, say, reply notes)? Just thinking if I keep seeing these, and most of them are on the same relay or two, I may decide to read from them. Thank you and the other #Amethyst devs for all of your hard work!
> He that is appointed to kill an enemy, if he leave striking before the other ceases living, doth but half his work. > Be killing sin, or sin will be killing you. -- John Owen, _[Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers](https://ccel.org/ccel/owen/mort)_ (a fantastic read!) We must take a fiercely militaristic, warrior-like, almost rage-filled stance against our indwelling sin. Attack our inner weakling with righteous indignation. Allow no quarter. Why? because: > Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you]. To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. [1 Peter 5:8-11](https://blb.sc/002bx6), KJV
