Short Bullets: Talking progress with John the Rage

• I am not a political scientist, but there is something disingenuous with the Ukraine situation.

• If Ukraine, really, eventually, politically and culturally, belongs in NATO, as a potential western nation; it follows that if Russia invades, NATO would be ethically and morally obligated to intervene.

• We then would have World War III.

• If Ukraine does not belong in NATO, and Ukraine agrees with NATO and Russia on the issue, then Russia would probably back off, and this situation would be largely solved.

• What we have instead is political posturing...

• Again, I do not formally hold to Red Pill philosophy, see for example:

• Several Red Pill content creators on You Tube, and others on You Tube, review TikTok videos.

• One Red Pill content creator, Taylor the Fiend, calls many of the TikTok videos 'clownery'...

• On TikTok, once I can get past the many questionable 'promotional' accounts, there is actually, some good psychological teaching and even some reasonable, Christian, biblical content.

• There is also quite a bit of Canadian 'trucker' protest content, at present.

• But, yes a lot of TikTok is 'clownery'..

• My friend and I, John the Rage, now in Calgary, agree, we always want to progress financially.

• But, not in the love of money. 

• 1 Timothy 6:10  New American Standard Bible (NASB) For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

• John and I agree, that true progress in every area of life is by prayerfully being within God's perfect will.
