"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you." - 1 Peter 5:8-10
The evil resides in many of the powerful who back Trump. This timeline is much better than the alternative. Still, we are in this mess due to the myopia and spiritual sickness of a soulless mercantile caste. That caste is very much in power even if there are some things they do as part of a revanchist project. Some of them, (Balaji Srinivasan), are explicitly avowed enemies of nationalism. Others will replace us with Asians to defeat Asia. For We means, Us Oligarchs, not We The American people.
Keep yourself very much aware of the incoherency and contradictions and spiritual void that a Godless merchant caste has that will destroy all that we love not out of malice but megalomaniacal vanity and greed. Tolkien had it right and he left us a map. It was the dwarves who dug and dug and dug and unearthed the most unspeakable evils through their unquenchable thirst for more while never stopping to ask why or for what true good.
Your identity, your history, your heritage, your future as anything but a Godless and rootless consumer is still being heaped up on a pyre every time they dispose of another shovel full of whatever stands between themselves and the next rung of treasures.
The goblins and orcs have been cast aside for the moment, but the dwarves are still digging away, while corrupted Sauromons fix their lust filled gazes through ever more digital Palantirs. Keep praying. Keep building. Keep goodness and light alive.

Agreed, Xitter bothers me very much for this reason. A "ratio" isn't quite the same as a 90% negative review.
