  1. I majored in Sociology, just for my 2 year degree (then went into the workforce), and it was a tough time. My first prof taught it as an objective way of looking at the world, and was funny and balanced, and that's what kept me going. But every other prof and course, while interesting, was full of the woke propaganda, to the point where I started feeling guilt and shame over being a white man. Ironically, that's what turned me away from the SJW cult, because I didn't want to embrace an ideology that made me feel bad just for being born. I think studying Sociology helped me a quite a bit though, because you see where the lefties are coming from, and you see the gaps in their logic. That's where I first was taught that stats can say anything you want them to, if you move the parameters around enough.

  5. And the US would have been the same if it hadn't rebelled. The British wanted every part of their empire to stay weak, otherwise why be in the Empire?

  6. I think everyone needs something to believe in, and Christianity was developed over hundreds of years to encompass the natural human experience. Trying to run from it or past it misses the mark, because Christianity built the Successful Western Nations, and without it, the West doesn't work. Like Rudyard said, if you go to other parts of the world, they don't assume the importance of the individual. If you go to collectivist countries like Japan, they care more about hierarchy or social structure than actually doing the right thing.
