I just got called a #Nazi by someone who mentioned me in a post then later deleted it.

So I will call that person a #coward because they can't stand by their convictions the way the Nazis did.

Name calling is so over rated and stupid. Insecure people shouldn't have to be able to influence diversion like this on a constant basis.

this exact response is the reason why centralized platforms target you now.

Here's a fact for you guys.

#Hitlerian ideology existed far longer than the #European attempted #colonization of everything into a #German #Reich which effectively makes #Nazism prone to regional difference, all be it one with the potential #historical #power to have long lasting consequences on the people who at the time, didn't see it coming as satellite states emerged from it.

So let's face it. I'm not #German I'm #Canadian and speak #English and no other #language as such.

For anyone who really wants to know, the term #neonazi exists for people who #self-identify as being simpathetic to Hitlerian doctrine.

I've #studied this extensively, because I think in a lot of ways, we never concluded #WWII completely from the #human #psyche and that is very frustrating to see this #tribal resurgence come back into #living #memory again.

So let's say that the year is 1940 something and not 2020 something. And let's point out the fact, that #National #Communism is an idea that got exported 80 some odd years into the #future to now.

Even if that's the case, the world has changed a lot since that time. And we've gotten stupider as a result of being primarily lazy with our own ambitions.

This is how dumb you guys are for doing this. And I know what you try to #suggest as such. That we are in such a #state of irreparable #disagreement, that this is the best you can come up with to #distance yourself from any sort of wider #context that doesn't fit your #narrative of #people who disagree with you.

So what? Can we not have an honest conversation about a few things without making solutions barred by political disconnectivity? That's exactly what the Nazi's proposed to do accept their solution wasn't just silence, it was death and destruction on a scale that has never truly went away ever since subsequent governments around our world, came into power and upgraded weapons systems continuously while operating elite networks from the shadows. In an effort, to instigate things like the #world #economic #forum and other big #thinktank organizations into a much broader sense of hostility than any of us individually call for as citizens of any and every nation.

I will say it loudly and #proudly as such. I am not someone who wants any group of people to face a premature end of their life on this planet, based on factors that nobody can control. And even if we can, I still want us to live our lives unimpeded by political #violence of any kind. And that includes #faith based groups to get along within #community spaces that do not challenge monomorphic #dominance at every step of the way.

I am disgusted at the #tribalism going on infecting every aspect of a normal #life facing my generation. And to just throw words like this out there, without any existential #planning or forethought on how this entire wretched #ideology can finally meet the dustbin of #history as such, to put it to #rest has no basis in #reality at all.

Look. I'm against people controling my life in ways I don't want them to. But that's true for all of us. So if you're going to name call, just remember that not everyone will take that lying down with a straight face and not move a mustle in the direction of a #fighting stance your way afterward.

I will not react in that manner, because I do put #peace and #prosperity first. And I don't censor people if they have opposing views to my own. But that's me. It's not you, and if you're that much of a coward to the point where you essentially do the same thing, only after you #feel #safe behind a cyber void, all the power to you.

But I bring this up publicly because reputations like this, although they're not supposed to, they actually do effect how highly you rank as a content provider. And on a shared internet, that carries more weight than you might think. Especially in today's toxic divided world where prayer is so much needed more so than ignorance and stupidity, where none can be found.

I don't want to live in a world where people start literally weaponizing eternity over a personal choice of faith. Nor do I want to live in one, where not choosing faith of any kind, let alone mandated ones, will land you as a person who is a continuous victim of statelessness by your actual neighbor in kind.

The Abrahamic religions are a perfect example (one of many in context) that have done more harm to divide people, than any other group in human history combined. And I am not one to book ban, but if those religions want to continue spewing their vile trash all over the place, it's time to set a precedent. But even still, that requires rethinking your approach to lead by example, and not paying attention to the example someone else can't lead by. Which again, makes book banning, the thing the Nazi's did, utterly archaic and barbaric to me

Wake up people. We don't live in a world that's so hard done by, that it can't be repaired. And it starts with refusing to use a tool at your disposal against someone you barely even had words with, because you can, in a way that significantly challenges their right to coexist alongside you.

The only way you'll learn discernment, is by understanding this as a core concept. I have all the tools at my disposal as a server instance owner to really stick it to people if I choose to. But so too does the US government own nuclear weapons to stick it to us if they chose to. And I count my blessings every time I wake up, and we haven't regressed that far into mass destruction to which there is no return. So likewise, because and due to that, I practice discernment out of choice, even when I can legally get away with being a lot harsher. I do not do so out of pity, but out of respect.

So let's take a second and thank the Nazi's for coming into our lives. Not for their ideology, or their vile addiction to power and hatred. But because they taught us, to be better people to not be like them because they failed at suppressing the human spirit.

I don't want to see you pull some shit online you wouldn't in get away with in real life. Not because I want you to be oppressed, but because the more we treat our communities like bridges connecting real people together, the less likely we'll respond to situations with outlandish and stupid methods of containment until and unless we have no other choice but to defend against systematic collapse.

Please know the power of your presence and use it. I don't want to have to be the only one who does. I'm fully aware that I'm not in control of what someone else does. But so long as they're not doing something to you that you wouldn't want, let them be and move on. That's what being responsible gets you in 2026.

I wish I didn't have to spell this out. But honestly, what hurts me more so than the accusation of something that isn't even real. Is that, you use that as a justification to do something that is real, with lasting consequences on not just reputation, but disinterest without a trail of provocation to go along with it. It'd be not unlike setting your neighborhood ablaze because the pizza delivery guy was 5 minutes late.

If this kind of antisocial behaviour isn't course corrected, our 30 something year old generation will be the last to have known the meaning of true freedom as we know it, because people like you, will get more attention by being underhanded, rather than straight up and honest about where we stand. And as such, would force the natural rather than enforced suppression of sudden unpredictability, back where it rightfully belongs. In the could have been moments of our lives, but not in the never were enactments of them.

Or in other words, focusing on the self you become not as a hot headed entity, or a cold calculating monster. But the one in between, that sees both sides, and not just the one you embody because you think it's going to matter to a fault, rather than a cause.

Stay informed, and know you are not alone in caring for the same things I do. History doesn't always get things right, but that's why we talk about it, rather than remaining silent and hoping it goes away on its own.

For some situations, that can happen. But this isn't one of them.

Thank you for all that you are. I appreciate you.

I am writing an open #letter to all #political sides as an #introduction to #hope I wish to turn #hurt away from and closer into as such through #affirmative #action accordingly if at all possible.

Let me start out by saying, that I #believe in the #power of real human prayer as #unbound #energy finding its way through us. And in turn, I'm no #religious #person by and large, but I am going to send this #prayer out there anyways because I feel it needs to be #said as is.

This will be a prayer covering several #topics of conversation that I #feel are important and significant enough to relay as one broadcast.

#extremism

To all #people I #pray that:
You realize living on your own #political #island sounds great in theory, be it on the #left or the #right of the spectrum. Or even at the #top or #bottom of it as well. But being unable to find or care for the #center of it, leaves you #vulnerable to #attack more so than anything else. And that is not a state of things I #desire for you to have to #live by.

#awareness

I pray that:
As #individuals you #collectively and #personally #understand that there are differences between the #perception of how you come across to others, and how others #perceive you in turn. It is okay to have a #difference of opinion, but to be #blind sighted by this, leaves you open to being #weaponized and I do not #wish that for you to have to #experience at all.

#sovereignty
I pray that:
You can #recognize how someone wants to be able to experience #respect without having to diverge or divulge your #interest in a #potential #conflict as such. In order for us to be able to #trust each other, we have to #remember how to #treat one another as #equals rather than constantly #competing for #dominance based on denying that there #exists a spectrum of #agreeability at play that we are all apart of.

#CommonSense
I pray that:
We keep building upon #frameworks that do not need to become a totally separate #foundation that exists just to serve you. But rather, exist as #modular #blocks that can join and detach from one another as already built #structures full and complete. This way, we are not trying to conflict over what block we have to share space with someone else in prioritizing. Because the entire thing is ours to shape in our own way. And so as a #metaphor, I feel it is #important to attach to the idea of having a sense in common, as opposed to a common sense where applicable, of things that cause us to #fight over how #relevant it is to most of us around the #actual or #planned #change currently in motion.

#battles
I pray that:
We are able to tell when to be #still and when to #move upon any #focus that #captivates us in part. Whether it exists as apart of a #whole or not. Doing so will help us make the best #impact #possible for the change we want to make a #reality for the #cause we are #concerned for.

And ultimately, I pray that we can move past the blatant need to have an #existential #crisis be on full display at the #crossroads of #agendas being carried out as they are each in turn, #instigated by #georegional #tribalism that serves nobody accept to put #humanity as a whole last, not first, as I intend to do.

All of these things are #real and can be #fixable and #doable as such. And I want to make sure, that this reality does not have a chance to get far out of #control the way it currently has.

For it is #outcomes like this, that #incomes should never have appropriately #manifested into #place that I want to #avoid and keep #preventable from ever #happening again.

To me, I find it very #unfortunate that we are living through #times of such blatant #hardship that should not have to be so unnecessary in today's day and age. For in this latest #protest #style #news #video we see this very inteersection of mounting, preventable #activities #culminating all at once in a display of #violent #behaviour best #repurposed for other #interests in my #opinion acordingly.

In #America #israel and #Canada or anywhere else in our #world we should not have to worry about #migration #problems at home #effecting the #symptom of #indifference at the #core of #ineffective #deference as such. Rather, if we simply #agree to #adapt our time towards #focusing on the #things we can #bear #witness to as our own #personal #legacy then I say we have done enough for our #community be it or we tied to a particular #faith or not.

I say this, in my own #human name for all it is worth. Because that is who I am now, and if any #guardian #angel believes this to be #true then all I ask, is that you add yours to this prayer and pass it forward.

Thank you for your #attention to this #matter as such. I #appreciate it and you very much for the #blessing that you are.

Our reality is layered. Simultaneous simulations slide across one another with frictionless effort. Some may see a place of prayer. For some, a place to repent. For others, a place of hidden rituals. Patterns carry meaning and there is meaning to be found in patterns... ✨

Freed from Our Blindness — Silvio José Báez, ocd

Dear brothers and sisters,

In today’s Gospel (Jn 9:1–41), Jesus heals a man who had been blind from birth, someone who had lived his entire life immersed in darkness. He heals him by placing mud on his eyes, making a gesture that recalls what God did when he created the human being, shaping him from the dust of the earth (Gen 2:7). The healing of this blind man is like a new creation. In Latin American culture, childbirth—the birth of a child—is called dar a luz, “to bring into the light.” In that sense, Jesus brought this blind man into the light. He caused him to be born again; he restored his human dignity. Now he will be able to see clearly. He will no longer stumble. He will know how to discern. He will live in freedom. By giving him sight, Jesus has created a new man.

The blind man who passes from darkness to light represents every believer who, throughout life, grows and matures in his knowledge of Jesus. At first, the blind man sees Jesus simply as a man. When the neighbors ask him how his eyes were opened, he answers that “the man called Jesus” put mud on his eyes and healed him. When the Pharisees question him and ask what he says about the one who opened his eyes, he replies: “He is a prophet” (v. 17). A little later, when the Pharisees insist that Jesus is a sinner and cannot come from God because he healed on the Sabbath, the man who had been blind answers: “If this man were not from God, he could do nothing” (v. 33). Finally, after being expelled from the synagogue, he meets Jesus again. Jesus asks him whether he believes in the Son of Man. Then the healed blind man prostrates himself before him, in an act of worship proper to the believer, and says: “I believe, Lord” (v. 38).

While the blind man keeps moving toward the light, toward an ever deeper knowledge of Jesus, the others gradually become blind because of their arrogance, their mental rigidity, and their religious fanaticism. The neighbors of the healed man represent the indifferent people who always keep their distance, who believe that real change is impossible, and who prefer a world in which everything remains the same. The parents of the blind man represent the fearful people who remain silent about the truth out of fear of reprisals and bargain away their conscience and their voice to avoid the consequences.

Finally, there are the Pharisees, who think they know everything, doubt nothing, and impose their own truth. They live obsessed with the observance of the Sabbath rest, yet they are incapable of seeing a man who has been healed. The Pharisees represent a religion that takes no interest in the good of the human person and knows only how to speak about itself and for itself. What good is a religion that exists only to defend its truths, celebrate its rituals, and impose its doctrine? What kind of religion is one that pays no attention to reality and is insensitive to the suffering of people, that does not stand on the side of the weak and does not commit itself to the struggle against darkness?

Even today there are forms of blindness that dehumanize life.

The blind are those who expect different results while always doing the same thing.

Those who look upon the suffering of others as one watches the rain fall from behind a windowpane.
Those who think money can make people happy.
Those who believe that love is only a passing feeling rather than a free decision that always seeks the good of the other.
Those who live as though tomorrow did not exist and the future held no memory.

The blind are those who believe that peace can be built through violence or that violating the rights of others makes them powerful.

Those who remain silent in the face of injustice, imagining that they will never be its victims and believing that their silence will protect them from tyrants.
Those who naively believe that certain people or political systems are eternal and will never pass away, and who therefore render them homage, giving them their hearts and their consciences.

The Gospel account we have heard today invites us to open our hearts to the Gospel so that we may be freed from our blindness. All of us are like those born blind, unable to see the mystery of existence. Only the light of Jesus can illuminate our hearts and open our eyes so that we may see the truth about life, about ourselves, and about God. Then we become believers like the man healed in today’s Gospel, who represents the believer enlightened by Jesus. He is a new man. In fact, people no longer recognize him. “Isn’t this the man?” some say. “No, it can’t be him,” say others. When we encounter the Lord, we are the same—and yet we are no longer the same. One encounters the Lord and is changed within. Windows of light are opened.

Believing doesn’t mean closing our eyes. It doesn’t mean renouncing reason or the capacity to think. It doesn’t mean turning our gaze away from the world. Rather, believing means looking at life in a particular way. Believing means seeing the world with the eyes of Jesus through the light of the Gospel. Today the Pope said that we need a faith that is awake, attentive, and prophetic (Angelus, 3/15/2026). When we see the world as Jesus saw it, everything looks different. We acquire wakeful eyes that do not ignore the dramatic situations of injustice and violence that make humanity bleed. We look with attentive eyes at the needs of our brothers and sisters, responding with charity and with our commitment to peace, justice, and solidarity. We also see the world with prophetic eyes, denouncing injustices that attack human dignity.

Faith also gives us serene eyes that fill us with hope and humble eyes that help us accept ourselves with our lights and our shadows. We know that we are in the hands of God, who sustains and guides us. Believers are like that. Even though we don’t understand everything, we face life with confidence because we know that we live in the loving hands of our Father God. At times we may even doubt and experience the limits of human reason, but we don’t despair. We know that we weren’t created to live in darkness or to walk alone. Sustained by the love of Jesus and illuminated by his light, we feel secure—without fear, with hope, without narrow-mindedness or fruitless nostalgia for the past. We continue walking toward a brighter light, but also a more humble one.

May Jesus, the “light of the world” (Jn 8:12), illuminate our lives. Let’s not live in deception. Let’s not reject the truth. Let’s not close ourselves within our own ideas. Let’s not resign ourselves to darkness. Let’s not turn our gaze away from the world or from the suffering of our brothers and sisters.

Today we’ve heard Jesus say: “I came so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind” (Jn 9:39). That’s what happens. When we close ourselves in our lies and in our pride, we become blind. When we humbly acknowledge our blindness and welcome the light of the Gospel, we begin to see the truth and to live with joy and hope.
