But if you're a person who doesn't believe in coincidences, then you have to wonder whether there's something greater going on, whether some organization did something to trigger both protests, I agree that that's farfetched, and is actually impossible, but so many
impossible things are happening today that one has to wonder.
Agree that it seems farfetched, but it seems the crisis is coming to a head on lots of fronts all at once.

The government has totally failed in its duty to keep its borders secure and us safe. Mass immigration and illegal immigration needs to be its priority as its undermining everything else.

I recently listed colonial imperialism, racism and religion as three encompassing issues, and countered with freedom and equality. This amounts to people would rather not be controlled by others, but some less savory folk attempt to be controlling. Some people will try to make their country dominant, their race dominant, enforce their religious beliefs, etc… That might be a central focus not expressed.

If you look at issues like Ukraine, Iran, China, evangelicals, BLM, election integrity, immigration, you can see that many crisis issues touch this theme. I would favor in each case freedom and equality and oppose those seeking dominance and control of others.

The tendency for the MAGA folks to be into nonsense, lies and deception is there though. Faux, Q and the like I could do without.

The moron doesn't even list facts, he just lists buzzwords that he thinks are bad. As if colonies can't be better off, as if "racism" actually exists like he says it does, and as if "religion" is as bad as his secular centrally planned religion that continues to kill far more people, if one actually assesses it and compares things.

I am trying to keep my entries on this thread short to non extant. It is not my fault that a few keep addressing me by name here. I did not think it necessary to say Putin is trying to take control of Ukraine and that is bad, or that George Floyd was murdered and that is bad, or that Evangelicals are attempting to enforce their values on those who do not share their beliefs, and that is bad. If you are uninformed about what is going on in the world, it is not my fault.

Among other things I am hardly an advocate of anything that can be called a religion. You would have to explain what a secular religion is. Sounds to me like an oxymoron. I did have an one way argument with God a long time ago, but it ended with a parapsychology theory rather than a religion, and I'm not pushing that very hard. A slightly higher probability of an emotional future? Not the usual religion.
