Freedom and Virtue: Friends or Enemies?

Freedom and Virtue: Friends or Enemies?

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Across the West, Virtue People, and Freedom People have been working together. At conferences, in think tanks, at school boards, on email lists, in living rooms, on X, and sometimes marching in the streets, they coalesce. These two groups constitute the rebel alliance against authoritarian woke globalism. But their political philosophies conflict.

Pandemics as a Catalyst for a New World Order

By globally synchronizing the public health response across the United Nations member states, new powers were granted to the UN and its organizations at the cost of national sovereignty. These universally applied regulations and multilateral agreements have given birth to an enlarged, globalized administrative state.

None So Blind: New York Wants Children Masked at Schools Again

New York City government’s worldview demands an unending alliance with “The Science™,” despite the “experts” involved in creating it being summarily discredited. Acknowledging that they misled the public would remove their unearned sense of superiority and obsessive dedication to pretending that progressive political views are “science” based.

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Americans can read between the lines and are showing their distrust even if they aren’t outright saying it out loud.

The W.H.O’s rousing endorsement of the “China model” of lockdowns should have been considered “junk science” before the governments of the world pulled the trigger on these “virus-mitigation” mandates, civil-liberty-eviscerating dictates which also caused a public health disaster for the people of the world.

Can Thanksgiving Traditions Survive a Four-Year Pause?

On Thanksgiving, we’re supposed to disregard that which hasn’t gone well and focus on that which has; even if the list of what has gone well is much shorter than that which hasn’t. If you’re sitting in a warm place, forking tasty food into your own mouth, and are surrounded by people whose names you remember, you’re comparatively blessed.

Beware the Autism-Friendly City

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Let us not forget that as we inched forwards like automata, self-conscious and humiliated, we gradually ceased to make eye contact with our fellows, engaged in little to no verbal interaction and found it increasingly difficult to make a friend – those very characteristics that 6 in 10 Irish people associate with autism.
