They thought violent, conquering kings could speak to god.
They thought genocidal colonizers were bringing salvation to their victims.
They thought slave owners had strong christian values.
They place insatiable, immoral billionaires as the leaders of the new christian nationalist movement.

This is not empathy but selective outrage, rooted in the same supremacist logic that has always rationed compassion along racial, national, and ideological lines. The dissonance is not incidental it is the defining feature of the politics itself."
-Heather Lyle.

The irony is staggering: a movement that insists mass death is acceptable collateral in the name of liberty also demands national mourning when its own suffers.

Equally revealing is the grotesque idolatry of the Second Amendment. Its defenders treat firearms not as tools but as civic sacraments, brushing aside the predictable carnage as 'the cost of freedom.'

It reveals a morality less concerned with human suffering than with preserving the imagined innocence of their own political cohort.

Yet when violence returns home, when one of their tribunes is struck the discourse shifts overnight from sadism to sanctimony.
Suddenly, 'empathy' and 'the sanctity of life' are invoked, not as universal values but as tribal shields.

The Working Class is not just a class of consumers.
We are also a class of producers. Labor is production.

We also bail out corporations and billionaires in the form of government subsidies and government contracts, which are paid for with our tax dollars.

It would do us all good to remember that WE pay the salaries of politicians with our tax dollars, and most of them have become millionaires on our dime.

When you see people worshipping politicians and billionaires, know that these attempts to shift the power away from the working class have been quite successful.

All of that to say, I honestly don’t think history students in the year 2125 will believe the events from 2001 to 2025 actually happened.
