Shmolitics Is Not It, Your Fight Is Stockholm Syndrome, a psychological phenomenon, causes hostages to develop positive feelings towards captors. In a broader sense, it can manifest as a societal condition where individuals internalise the narratives imposed upon them by people who are holding them hostage, most often to their detriment. In contemporary society, many…

Replication and Reinforcement Recognitions in virtues are inherently cyclical and dynamic in nature. There is a continuous process of recognition and response, intertwined with both grace and intentional effort; encompassing the present moment (which reflects the past experience of God’s love) and extending into the future (the love that we actively choose to give to…

Holy Purpose in Division Paulus said, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28). This verse, often misread or oversimplified, is not a call to erase identity but a revelation of the divine order that…

True Universals Achieved Through True Particulars Powerful technocrats actively push subjective and existentialist ideas to dismantle tradition, nation, and identity; framing our very identities as obstacles to progress. Internationalism, often hailed as a pillar of technocratic agendas, is itself a form of rebellion against divine order, a rejection of the cultures and histories that have…
