You sound like Thomas Sowell (couldn’t pay a higher compliment).
Can’t disagree with a single one.
10/ When sufficiently frightened, most people will not only accept authoritarianism, but demand it.
...and my quarrel is with the words "most" and "demand."
To be sure, a massive number of people are in the "acceptance" camp. On both sides.
But most demand it? I don't see it in my walks (and I don't have just conservative friends and family). I see strident GenZers demanding that they - and their enemies - be caged. But as people get older, not quite as much. Even old hippies on the left aren't clamoring for cages, largely.
But all in all, it's a great list.
Thank you both.
I’m astonished to find that we’re living through a period of the greatest lies ever told! In spite of all our scientific knowledge we have people insisting that ‘science is racist’, ‘2 + 2 has alternate answers’, ‘Joe Biden received record votes’, ‘COVID wasn’t bio-engineered’, and ‘you can choose your gender’.
I saw a video yesterday of a ‘trans-male’ infuriated because of ‘transphobic GAY MEN’ that don’t want to have sex with ‘him’. So similarly, it’d be just as bad as lesbians not wanting to have sex with a trans-female.
It’s all insane....just lies, lies, lies. I refuse to even debate these days, the topics aren’t worthy of a dignified discussion. Any debate that begins with an insane construct isn’t worth having, plus you’re going to lose because logic and sanity don’t apply. We’re in a war without bombs or bullets and the enemy owns all of the levers to create alternate realities that make no sense to our physical reality - and then expect us to accept it, along with our children.
Somethings got to give...

“15/ ‘The Science’ has evolved into a secular pseudo-religion for millions of people in the West. This religion has little to do with science itself.”
True, but nothing new.
See: Galileo.
This plandemic has been very revealing.
What happened to the fight in Americans? What happened to the can-do spirit?
—————-America has turned from God. God has revealed the fear of secularist’s, atheists and Luke warms. It is very clear to me.
In summation most people are too stupid to be idiots.
