@raptor4916@BovrilG It's daunting at first getting used to the narrator's English as spoken centuries into the future, but once you get past that it's extraordinary, beautiful and sad.
The concluding line of his poem "Hymn to Lucifer"
Ware, nor of good nor ill, what aim hath act?
Without its climax, death, what savour hath
Life? an impeccable machine, exact
He paces an inane and pointless path
To glut brute appetites, his sole content
How tedious were he fit to comprehend
Himself! More, this our noble element
Of fire in nature, love in spirit, unkenned
Life hath no spring, no axle, and no end.
His body a bloody-ruby radiant
With noble passion, sun-souled Lucifer
Swept through the dawn colossal, swift aslant
On Eden's imbecile perimeter.
He blessed nonentity with every curse
And spiced with sorrow the dull soul of sense,
Breathed life into the sterile universe,
With Love and Knowledge drove out innocence
The Key of Joy is disobedience.

This place has become a cringe Right wing Christian edgelord echo chamber. Most of the people into that are boring. The problem with the Left is it becomes a cult of weakness.
The problem with the Right Christian or otherwise. It becomes a cult of stagnation.

Being a Trump supporter in 2026 is like staying best friends with a man who took your wife. He's deceived and betrayed you at every turn and you're still swinging from his nuts? That's cucky, humiliating behavior.
He promised to end the wars, and instead he started a new war.
He promised the Iran war would be over in a few weeks, and months later it shows no sign of stopping.
He promised to put America first, and instead he's putting Israel first.
He promised to cut government waste, and he's pouring unfathomable amounts of treasure into the military-industrial complex.
He promised to drain the swamp, and he became the single most corrupt president in US history.
He promised to fight the deep state, and went on to promote the longstanding agendas of the most evil people in Washington and Langley which even his terrible predecessors had resisted.
These are all objective, indisputable facts. If you disagree with any of them, it's because you're performing ridiculous mental contortions to justify your groveling support for a man who has betrayed you.
It's so self-debasing. Get up off the floor, pull your tongue back into your head, and have some fucking dignity.
