Just a meathead trying to figure out this Freedom tech thing. I occasionally post whitewater kayaking footage from my archive.

Mormon missionaries always try to be clever..... Talking about Jesus dying for our sins and such, but then bait and switch once they sit you down. I keep asking them the most basic question, "what can Mormonism offer me? Because in my tradition, I am justified by faith alone." They then get all confused and ramble on about "well the Church lost contact with God and the prophet Joseph Smith restored the Gospel and Indians are cursed Jews..." OKAY STOP. I am saved by faith alone bitch! This bullshit offers me nothing! Talk to them long enough and you get to Palegian theology of works, all the cults have the same theology of justification when you look under the hood.

Maybe the play is that they just take over Tether. Don't need a federal CBDC project and they can outsource surveillance to bypass laws.

Yeah once everything calms down those dudes are going to jail.

I have often heard this saying used by the self-righteous to disparage people trapped in vicious cycles (like addiction), to justify doing nothing to help them, but instead sit in judgement over them.

The sin of those who "help themselves" is every bit as grave as those who don't make the "right choices". The meek shall inherit the Earth. The first shall be last and the last shall be first.

I like consuming self help material to make my life better, especially content from Jocko Willink, Jordan Peterson and so on..... But the "lift yourself up by your bootstraps" message is not Christian.
