This is precisely why they are coming after Christianity. If we stop seeking the truth, but live by an ideology, we can be controlled, and we will be slaves. I love this post👇👇👇by @brivael
Let's be clear: Christianity built Western civilization.
Not as a vague cultural backdrop. As the actual engine.
It all comes down to one sentence: "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free."
Think about what that implies. Truth exists. Truth is one. Truth is knowable. And seeking it isn't rebellion against God. It's worship.
"In the beginning was the Logos." Reason. If the universe was created by a rational mind, then the universe is rational. It follows laws. And those laws can be discovered.
Most civilizations never made that leap. Nature was a battlefield of capricious gods to appease, or an eternal cycle going nowhere, or an illusion to escape. Why would you study the laws of something you don't believe has laws?
Christians believed otherwise. So monks preserved ancient knowledge for a thousand years. The Church gave birth to the university. The Benedictines said "pray and work," turned labor into something sacred, and spread water mills across Europe. Monasteries built some of the first mechanical clocks.
Then came the scientists. Copernicus was a church canon. Kepler said he was thinking God's thoughts after Him. Newton wrote more about theology than physics. Mendel was a friar. Lemaître, the father of the Big Bang theory, was a Catholic priest.
They weren't scientists despite their faith. They were scientists because of it.
Add two more ideas. Time is linear: history has a beginning and is going somewhere, so progress becomes thinkable. And every human is made in the image of God: individual dignity, individual conscience, the worth of the craftsman and the worker.
Put it all together. An intelligible universe. A sacred duty to seek truth. The belief that tomorrow can be better than today. The dignity of work and of every single person.
That's the recipe. Science, then technology, then the Industrial Revolution. It happened in Christian Europe. Not by accident.
We are still living off the interest of that capital. The real question is what happens when we stop believing in the things that produced it.
“The truth shall set you free.”

This is called a 'shaming ritual'. It's the same ritual we saw with Carney and the floor-crossers.
Christine Lagarde is stepping down nine months early so the current pro-EU leadership can lock in her successor before the French election, when Marine Le Pen’s side is favoured to win. It’s dressed up as “personal” or “greater freedom to speak,” but the timing is pure political control. The institution and the political class get to manage the departure, so that no one they deem “wrong” can influence the outcome.
That’s the same play Carney ran with Marilyn Gladu and the other Conservatives who crossed. Parade them in front of the cameras, extract the public vow of loyalty to Liberal social policy and party line, and present it as a free choice. On the way in, you recite the creed. On the way out (or when you “fail” the club), you get the managed exit, the warm statements, the ovation, and the clear message that independence is not tolerated.
These aren’t independent institutions or free agents. They’re loyalty systems. You join on their terms. You leave on their terms. The ritual is the point.
Do you really want CAnada to joint the EU.
I have just informed my colleagues that I will step down as @ECB President on 7 February 2027.
It has been a source of great pride to serve this institution.
I thank all of those who have supported me on this journey over the past seven years.

Everybody is terrified to actually tell the truth, even when they find out it was a certain specific group of people, who have been allowed to flow into the country at the will of government. It's an invasion FFS

That's what they do. They bring their existing practices and habits with them to Canada. Migrants should be expected to understand and respect laws before being granted citizenship. Becoming a Canadian citizen means accepting the laws and responsibilities that come with it.
Where is all the money going? What are the Indiginous Chief’s doing with the billions of dollars? Are they operating like our Chief, and laundering it instead of making life better for the residents? Hmmm….

Indian newcomer in Canada is offering PR to "girls only" on his IG through his fake immigration agency
Is he trying to setup a marriage scam for citizenship or recruit women for human trafficking?
This is creepy as hell. DEPORT!
I’m thinking if I put this beside my beware of German Sheppard sign, it will be much more effective then a doorbell camera.
Notice how this woman uses language that deflects away from the real issues creating the rise of home invasions.

This is not the Canada I knew. This poor family was murdered because of horrible Liberal policy. This government needs to be held accountable for the environment we now live in. This could be any one of us.

👀🚨 UPDATE: Police confirm the victims of the violent home invasion in Toronto this morning, a father & his 2 daughters, were shot by a group of armed home invaders who smashed their way in via a backdoor.
The mother also sustained serious injuries after being hit with a hammer

Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon is right to reject a silent spectator role at a summit held on Quebec soil. Mark Carney’s refusal to allow a proper voice shows no respect for Quebec’s constitutional autonomy and is an insult to the people of Quebec. Provincial rights must not be subordinated in this way.
J’ai pris note aujourd’hui de la nouvelle offre de Mark Carney d’obtenir le droit de m’assoir à sa table d’honneur à titre de spectateur, sans droit de parole ni droit de négocier au nom du Québec. Cette proposition revient à demander au Québec de rentrer dans les rangs, avec la vassalisation et l’invisibilisation du Québec que cela implique, en échange d’obtenir de meilleurs sièges de spectateurs pour regarder la partie. Comme premier ministre, je refuserai toujours que le Québec soit réduit au rôle de spectateur lorsqu’il s’agit de représenter et protéger les intérêts économiques et politiques des Québécois.
La réalité est que nous sommes devant une stratégie de marginalisation du Québec sur la scène internationale et de subordination des champs de compétence du Québec à la volonté du fédéral. Je note à cet effet que tous les chefs de partis de l’Assemblée nationale ont indiqué hier que s’ils étaient dans la position de premier ministre et devant un tel sommet sur le territoire du Québec, ils s’attendraient à prendre la parole et à participer à part entière. À Ottawa, le chef de l'opposition officielle ainsi que le chef du Bloc Québécois ont également appuyé notre demande.
J’ai donc pris la plume et j’ai écrit aux représentants de l’Union européenne pour leur rappeler que des ententes qui impliquent l’Europe et le Québec doivent forcément passer par le gouvernement du Québec, et à plus forte raison si le sommet se tient sur notre territoire. Le refus de nous donner la parole à titre d’hôte pour souhaiter la bienvenue à nos invités y est également mentionné.
Je lance donc l’invitation pour une discussion bilatérale dans un meilleur contexte qui permettrait au Québec de ne pas être exclu. À ce titre, j’enverrai le diplomate en chef du Québec, Pascal Paradis, pour ouvrir ces canaux de discussion pour la suite.
Weren’t we taught growing up that littering was bad for the environment? Carney cares so much about the environment but invites in all the people who do not…… are these people going to be fined? Or does littering have a DEI policy too.
This is a great post. It is not enough to vent online about our political outrage. We must also engage by educating our children, starting and signing petitions, writing our local, provincial and federal Members of Parliament, engage in local EDA’s and more.

I came across a fascinating conversation between Julian Dorey @juliandorey and Dr. Neema Parvini that left me contemplating something rather uncomfortable about what we do here on X.
Parvini introduces the idea of political containment, suggesting that social media may serve as a remarkably effective pressure-release valve for public discontent. I’ve come to this unfortunate conclusion as well.
We come here to express our outrage, expose hypocrisy, challenge authority and occasionally congratulate ourselves for having done so.
And perhaps that’s precisely the problem.
His argument is that the very act of expressing our dissent can create the illusion of political participation without producing meaningful change. We feel as though we’re resisting the system when, in reality, we may simply be relieving enough frustration to continue tolerating it.
He calls this a simulacrum of politics. The appearance of resistance without necessarily achieving its substance.
What makes the argument particularly interesting is that it doesn’t require silencing dissent. It suggests that allowing people to vent may itself help preserve the very structures they’re protesting.
Now, I don’t believe online discourse is inherently futile. Ideas spread here. People learn, question, connect and organize. But I do think there’s an important distinction between expressing opposition and actually accomplishing something.
And perhaps the most uncomfortable question of all is whether we’ve begun mistaking the satisfaction of having spoken for the accomplishment of having acted.
There’s considerably more to this interview than this one observation, and I encourage you to watch the entire conversation.
It’s the sort of discussion that deserves more than a passing scroll.
