ROME – According to Pope Francis, there’s no time to wait when it comes to addressing the climate change, because there are too many people who are suffering from the crisis. To address it, he argued, “urgent and courageous action is needed.”...https://t.co/ptbSa24JWc

The “ideal” in Scripture is not world government. It is localism.

But God’s compromise is the state instead of a world of free tribes and clans.

World empire is, in Scripture, the nightmare that political theory and theology seeks to prevent.

— Yoram Hazony (@yhazony) October 31, 2021

Is there more substance to Hazony than I had previously thought? Is his book worth getting now? Is he not controlled op as suspected? Insofar as he is opposed to ethnonationalism and still advocates for a form of identity that is based on culture or creed alone, his understanding of politike remains problematic.

Being too "tough" will not prevent cancellation. Wrong tactics for the culture war.

As Peggy Noonan notes, some people are too big to cancel (Dave Chappelle, JK Rowling). But it's also possible to be too tough to cancel. Not everyone can be too big to cancel. But we can all be too tough to cancel. Defy the bullies. Be too tough to cancel.https://t.co/rWEcyC3V92

Yielding the Narrative to Others

Bergoglio has done this before; did he foresee this when he kicked the press out of the meeting?
