politics
Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.

Cancel Culture Isn't About Winning An Argument
I have recently done a 180 on "Cancel Culture," or what I call "the politics of shame." I was once an avid supporter of the idea that you shouldn't shame others as a tenant of political organizing (see Unpacking the Deadly Politics of Shame), but recently I have changed my mind. Shame can sometimes have excellent results in the realm of politics (see Historically, Shame Has (Sometimes) Been A Good Thing), and we do ourselves a disserve in disavowing it.

When You Are Insecure About Your Religious and Political Beliefs
One common thing I notice in life is the correlation between people discussing politics and religion. There seem to be two types of people for each of those two topics. Ones who can discuss their beliefs with those who oppose them in a calm, rational way. Then there are people who are unable to discuss differences in political and religious ideologies without anger and raising their volume.

Bourgnew's Diplomatic Address
We must be ever diligent, ever aware of the direct purpose and innate actions of others who may rise. We cannot be distracted by the unnecessary wants of power. Power carries great responsibilities, it carries weight, it carries legacies, and it carries purpose. We must never let power be given to those who are reckless, ruthless, or vindicative. We must not allow ourselves to be illusioned with power. We cannot let ourselves be distracted by wills and rights that do not belong to us. We must never let our hopes be written on the wrong side of history. We must never let our hopes be for dominance and control. We must never seek power. Power is in the many and not the few. Power is in the hopes, power is in the necessity and not the want. Power is a great responsibility and its jurisdiction and authority must be taken with caution and due diligence. We cannot sleep when power is being abused. We cannot back down or bite our tongues against those who seek tyranny. We must stand up to those who are blatant liars and thieves. It is our responsibility to restore the rights of leadership, the rights of the people, and the governance that will lead us into the next millennium.

He was known for his realistic fiction and collaboration of the parties. His accent highlights the judicious decisions. His tone just highlights the judicious decision. Although I acknowledge his decision that a time is coming court will deprive him both of his accent mental and personal qualities.

The End Of History; The Liberal Lie Promoting Conservatism
Rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. They're privileges. - George Carlin "The End of History" is the term coined by political scientist Francis Fukuyama in his 1989 essay of the same name (though phrased as a question; The End of History?), in which, with the prediction that the Soviet Union with would dissolve, the struggle for the peak human society will officially come to an end, with Liberal Democracy (aka the "West") reigning as the winner.
