A quotation from Joseph Addison
Reading is to the mind, what exercise is to the body: as by the one, health is preserved, strengthened, and invigorated; by the other, virtue, which is the health of the mind, is kept alive, cherished, and confirmed.
Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1709-03-18), The Tatler, No. 147

Solidarity seems like a noble goal, but it's specious at best. When rallying for a cause, we want solidarity – for others to join – but what if we are among the others? #Solidarity comes at the expense of self – fine if you are already committed. Otherwise, not so much.

Some core issues are in the concept of sovereignty within a state.
In a democracy, sovereignty rests with the people.
While it is possible to design and adjust systems, there is no way to compensate for a loss of virtue in that sovereign entity.
If the electorate continues to choose individuals lacking in integrity, no safeguards can effectively maintain order or uphold democratic values.
"I have typed before, and will until my last breath, that Black voters are America’s TRUE patriots, and the only voting bloc that overwhelmingly and consistently gets it right.
How incredibly sad it must be to see white people elect bile who see white supremacy as a #virtue, instead of a plague."
Let every man know that true #manliness isn't about power-over or the domination that #rape signifies. True manliness & #virility are about #virtue (vir means man in Latin). Let us teach that to our boys & men, court judges, politicians & media-buying billionaires. https://bit.ly/4kJtcbH

DON JUAN: It’s no longer shameful to be a dissembler; hypocrisy is now a fashionable vice, and all fashionable vices pass for virtues.
[DON JUAN: Il n’y a plus de honte maintenant à cela ; l’hypocrisie est un vice à la mode, et tous les vices à la mode passent pour vertus.]
Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
Don Juan [Dom Juan], Act 5, sc. 2 (1665) [tr. Wilbur (2001)]

They will deport folks on Indian reservations before they admit America is an idea, a concept, tied to #FirstPrinciples of the #Enlightenment, anchored in #virtue.

🤦♂️ Oh look, another overzealous attempt at #virtue-signaling through font design, because clearly, every Indigenous community was just waiting for their own Jekyll template. 🤷♀️ Let's not forget the riveting saga of font decisions that absolutely no one asked for. 📚✨

History isn't just something to read about; we are all living through it and have the power to shape it. The only way to make history is to embrace this moment, focus on what we can control, and respond to obstacles with virtue. #MakeHistory #FocusOnTheMoment #Virtue
