Spiritual Tyranny is NOT a stream of consciousness blog.
There is a chronology BUT posts are not designed to be read in order. Take note of the categories and links.
The ideas addressed here are complex. Here we take a deep dive.
This poses a few challenges. There is reason search engines rank 5th grade writing better than 12th so help me and tell ten or twenty people.
Spiritual Tyranny gets in the weeds but it is no pointy headed academic wrangling. Ideas have real world application and real world consequence. The Gospel According to John Immel 3:1-3:
All people act logically from their assumptions. 2 ) It does not matter how inconsistent the ideas or insane the rationale, they will act until the logic is fulfilled.3 ) Therefore, when you see masses of people taking the same destructive actions, find the assumptions and you will find the cause.
To illustrate the causal relationship between ideas and outcomes I often talk about current events and the people who perpetrate despotism. You might like those people or you might have no clue who they are. This will lead some to believe two things:
- Because you don’t know the players the analysis does not apply to your situation which means you won’t hang around long enough to grasp the big picture.
- That this site only exists for my wrathful pleasure against select “benevolent” men.
To the first point:
This type of myopia is the byproduct of John Dewey based education. I’ll talk more about Dewey and Pragmatism in other places but failing to think in principles is what Dewey infused into American education. This education produces very sort sighted thinkers. While you might not know the faces and names that I talk about despotism’s means and methods remain consistent.
To the second point:
First, this site exists in an effort to monetize what I love to think and talk about. My motivations are simple: chicks and money.
Second, these “benevolent” men are not benevolent and to be very clear I AM against these men (and/or women if they prove tyrannical). They are the forefront of spreading tyranny and oppression in the name of God, Government, Democracy and Righteousness.
I don’t care what acronym they use to identify their political group, or doctrine, or buildings. If they are tyrants I AM against the content of their ideas that produce bondage, corruption, death, and destruction.
For these intellectual thugs, I AM zealous in my censure.
For these spiritual tyrants, I AM unrelenting in critique.
And for that, I am soooo not sorry.
