[Catalyst94 @Catalyst2Fate]

I plan to start dropping videos soon regarding a wide range of topics: to the surreal and supernatural like UAPs, to the more grounded and technical like economic theory and current events. Just beginning to dip my nose into the editing software side of things but I’m excited to

[Catalyst94 @Catalyst2Fate]

@GloverIsGood @heykayadams @UpAndAdamsShow Sure, If he joins another team beforehand maybe lmao.

[Catalyst94 @Catalyst2Fate]

@ElissaSlotkin Nobody is dumb enough to buy your bs congresswoman. Anything and everything for the corporate automakers and screw the consumers am I right?

[Catalyst94 @Catalyst2Fate]

@neeratanden The cynical weaponization of identity politics is part of the reason you lot have become despised and lost all credibility.

[Catalyst94 @Catalyst2Fate]

@RichardHanania Grade A sarcasm.

[Catalyst94 @Catalyst2Fate]

@ScottPresler Good luck with this angle Scott lmao. This whole thing will backfire once the convo gets started about why they actually voted against it.

Biblical forest for the woke trees. We’ve officially passed the rubicon

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

IMHO, a lot of conservatives are missing the Biblical forest for the woke trees in Nolan's Odyssey. Yes, the casting of Elliot Page is silly and egregious. But here's the thing: Nolan's "The Odyssey" is an apologia for Christian morality poured into a Greek vase.

The entire movie is rooted in what Nolan terms "Zeus' law." That law is: "Treat others as you would want to be treated, because anyone might be a god." Now, clearly, there's nothing like that in Greek mythology. It's not implicit in Homer. It's a direct rip from Biblical morality, substituting "because anyone might be a god" for "because man was made in the image of God."

Nolan then takes this rule and uses it as his moral glue: the idea is that Odysseus, in utilizing the Trojan Horse, violated Zeus' law and led to full-scale slaughter. That sin has led to the unleashing of broader globalized sin (the "sea peoples" who don't respect Zeus' law and are invading surrounding areas). This is a highly Biblical message: that sin is infectious, and that sin also affects the world at large, not just the sinner.

Odysseus has sinned, and he must atone for that sin through self-imposed exile. He must also sacrifice his own aspirations to restore the possibility of a moral universe: because he has unleashed catastrophic violence and violation of Zeus' law -- manifest in the suitors' cynical use of Zeus' law to eat Penelope out of house and home -- he must violate Zeus' law one last time and then accept the penalty, which is exile.

This is a not only a movie that will make millions of people go read classical literature again. It also reinforces the idea that violation of the Golden Rule has disastrous consequences.

I dunno. I'd consider that, on balance, a large-scale win for civilizational values, when weighed against the woke casting of Elliot Page or the dumbass discussion over whether Lupita Nyongo is good-looking enough (she is, and for the record Diane Kruger is German, not Greek).

@JeffAnt59138242 @OunkaOnX @ViKu1111 Service doesn’t automatically absolve someone of all the horrific and evil things they have done throughout their lives. Get real

The economy is so bad that scam messages went from “you won the lottery” to “remote job available $18/hr”

[Catalyst94 @Catalyst2Fate]

@hehejwkahy @Lord_Hadoken @BillFrenchm2p4 @KyleKulinski Lmao yeah starting wars, protecting pedophiles, expanding mass surveillance and making everything unaffordable has really saved the country. Did you eat lead chips as a child?

[Catalyst94 @Catalyst2Fate]

@Zz_Badnasty @mrpyo1 These greedy corpos think they can do whatever they want and that they’re untouchable. They’ll find out sooner or later that nobody is. Even the average person will only tolerate so much before the dam breaks.

[Catalyst94 @Catalyst2Fate]

@Zz_Badnasty @mrpyo1 Sure if you want me to just take your money feel free to send it to me. I stand behind what I’m saying. Not everyone will but I am not one of those people. We can’t allow our personal enjoyment override what is harmful to society.

[Catalyst94 @Catalyst2Fate]

@Zz_Badnasty @mrpyo1 No, that’s just your apathetic attitude that will eat whatever slop is fed you. People always assume the status quo will never break until it does. And then people like you are dumbfounded when it happens because you can’t see the bigger picture.

[Watchdog @ComradeWatchdog]

No.

Fucking.

No.

This is unnacceptable. We do not have to cave to these fucking greedy psychos who wanna use up all of our electricity and water just to spy on us and replace us and feed us fucking slop.

Fuck these people. Fuck data centers. Fuck AI. FUCK THIS WHOLE SYSTEM!

[Catalyst94 @Catalyst2Fate]

@Zz_Badnasty @mrpyo1 Nah. If they don’t change course I am done and I know many that feel the same way. You all can accept being ripped off and abused by these companies but that doesn’t mean the rest of us will follow suit. This is bigger than just gaming. It’s about corporate greed.

[Catalyst94 @Catalyst2Fate]

This type of blatant and open corruption should never be normalized or tolerated.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

In a hearing where residents grilled officials on data centers, a resident of Tyrone Township, Michigan, asked a simple question: Have you signed an NDA with any party regarding developments that could affect the town?

The majority of the township's officials refused to answer.

[People's Art of War @pplsartofwar]

Not sure who I should cheer. The Reich's bankers or the Reich's nursing home.

[Catalyst94 @Catalyst2Fate]

@pChiefq @KyleKulinski You didn’t even address what I said. Where is the evidence? I don’t give a fuck about his tattoo or any of that. We’ve got way bigger problems in this country than somebody’s checkered dating past. Anybody who’s not a child or naive knows what is going on here. Same old playbook

[Catalyst94 @Catalyst2Fate]

@neeratanden @netanyahu @HaleyforMI You people are so desperate lmao. Who do you actually believe would fall for this that isn’t clinically brain dead?
