== Distinctions and evil ==

<center>'''"There is no safety for honest men, but by believing all possible evil of evil men."
—[[Edmund Burke]]</center>

Knowing what is good and what is evil and the [[means and methods|means and method]] by which we know is key to man's pursuit of [[life]], [[liberty]], and ''happiness''.

<blockquote>
"You know, doing what is right is easy. The problem is knowing what is right."—[[LBJ|Lyndon B. Johnson]]
</blockquote>

While I have never been a big fan of [[LBJ|Lyndon Baines Johnson]] what he says is not untrue.

Besides Adam and Eve's challenging diet in the pusuit of the knowledge of good and evil by eating of the [[tree of knowledge|tree of knowledge of good and evil]] we also have [[Pontius Pilate]] asking the question "What is the truth?"<ref name="JInnocense">'''Innocense of Jesus.'''
* [[John 18]]:38 “‎‭38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.”
* [[John 18]]:37 "Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a [[Anothking|king]] then? Jesus answered, '''Thou sayest that I am a [[kingjews|king]]. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the [[world]], that I should bear witness unto the [[truth]]. Every one that is of the [[truth]] [[Hear|heareth]] my voice.'''
* [[John 14]]:6 "Jesus saith unto him, '''I am [[the way]], the [[Truth|truth]], and the [[Life|life]]: no man cometh unto the [[Father]], but by me.'''"
* [[John 8]]:31 "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, '''If ye continue in my [[logos|word]], then are ye my [[disciples]] indeed; 32 And ye shall know the [[truth]], and the [[truth]] shall make you free."
* [[John 17]]:17 '''[[37|Sanctify]] them through thy [[truth]]: thy [[Logos|word]] is [[truth]]." 
'''Pilate finds Jesus innocent'''
* [[Luke 23]]:4 "Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man."
* [[Luke 23]]:14–15 "Said unto them, '''Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:''' 15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him."
* [[John 19]]:4, 6 "Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, '''Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.''' 5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, '''Behold the man!''' 6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, '''Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.''' 7 The Jews answered him, '''We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the [[Son of God]]'''."
* [[1 Peter 2]]:22 "Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:"
* [[Matthew 27]]:18–19 "For he knew that for [[5355|envy]] they had delivered him. 19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his [[Claudia Procula|wife]], sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."</ref> But the truth is spiritual.<Ref name="Spiritlaw">{{Spiritlaw}}</Ref>

== Economic systems ==

[[Socialism]] is an economic system but also a political system.<ref>The term "[[socialism]]" generally is said to be "a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production[1], distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."</ref>

Many will phrase that definition of [[socialism]] stating that the "means of production, distribution, and exchange belong to the ''workers''."

The ''workers'' neither own nor hold the means of production, the power to distribute, nor the right to exchange in their hands but it is held by the collective.

Being a [[political]] system which by definition would include "the governing of a political entity, such as a nation, and the administration and control of its internal and external affairs."

=== The means of production ===

The only economic system that allows the ''individual workers'' to own the means of production, the power to distribute, nor the right to exchange is [[capitalism]] because [[socialism]] and [[Communism]] or even [[fascism]] are systems that depend on the coveting of those things their neighbor produces.
=== Poltics of power ===
All those systems depend on [[political]] [[force]] to compel and regulate what some call sharing.

That political power always ''[[degenerate|degenerates]]'' the leader into tyrants and the ''[[masses]]'' into "[[perfect savages]]". See https://preparingyou.com/wiki/Perfect_savages

===Not Political===

[[Capitalism]] is an economic system where the individual has a right to the value he or she produces.

That right must be properly recognized and defended by the brave elements of society as a "property right" for [[capitalism]] to function.

Almost all the real problems attributed to what is called [[capitalism]] today is in fact the result of "creeping [[socialism]]", which can be identified as the "[[covetous practices]]" or the [[politics]] of [[covet|coveting]].

Those [[political]]<ref>The art or science of [[government]] or governing, especially the governing of a [[political]] entity, such as a nation, and the administration and control of its internal and external affairs.</ref> practices become legal when the people [[consent]] while they are [[greedy for gain]] and develop an [[appetite]] for [[Benefits|benefits]] even at the expense of others and depend for their livelihood on the property of others which is immoral.

== Policy creep ==

As socialist policies creep into your economy and politics it always feeds an enmity between the richer and the less rich, dividing and conquering those who are jealous, envious and [[covet]].
http://preparingyou.com/wiki/Socialism

If you desire [[benefits]] from those in government who call themselves [[benefactors]] but [[exercise authority]] as [[rulers]] of the people you are in opposition to Christ.

== Thomas Sowell interview ==

{{#ev:youtube|uejTE6-nIQI|300|right|Thomas Sowell: Facts Against Rhetoric, Capitalism, Culture and Yes, the Tariffs - Hoover Institution. '''Uncommon Knowledge''' 2025 https://youtu.be/uejTE6-nIQI 1:01:17 min}}

[[Thomas Sowell]] was asked why did he create the website '''[http://factsagainstrhetoric.org/ facts against rhetoric org]'''

[[Thomas Sowell]] answered: <blockquote>"I thought of it as enabling students to get education despite going to college." </blockquote>
=== Is capitalism humane ===
[[Milton Friedman]] addresses the question, '''is capitalism humane?''' (5:52)
At the beginning of capitaliom the individual still owns the "means of production, distribution, and exchange" as an individual.

But also [[Milton Friedman]] stated:
<blockquote>"... the great virtue of a market [[capitalist]] society is that by preventing a concentration of power, it prevents people from doing the kind of harm which only concentrated power can do." 
"So that I conclude that capitalism per se is not humane nor inhumane. [[Socialism]] per se is not humane nor inhumane."
</blockquote>

Which one of these two systems preserves the [[choose|right to choose]] and which one grants the the right to own the "means of production, distribution, and exchange" to another.

Friedman also stated: <blockquote>
"But [[capitalism]] tends to give free reign, much freer reign to the more humane values of human beings. It tends to develop a climate which is more favorable to the development, on the one hand, of a higher moral atmosphere of responsibility and on the other, to greater achievements in every realm of human understanding."</blockquote>

<blockquote>
'''"[[Freedom]] is the [[Exousia|Right to Choose]], the [[Rights|Right]] to create for oneself the alternatives of [[Choice]]. Without the possibility of Choice, and the [[Freedom of Religion|exercise of Choice]], a man is not a man but a [[person|member]], an instrument, a [[merchandise|thing]].”'''<Ref name="archy">[[Archibald MacLeish]]</Ref>
</blockquote>

Because [[socialism]] is a political system it requires you become a member which is a [[person]] and therefore an ''instrument'' of the [[collective]] as a [[Human resources|human resource]] and literally become '''[[merchandise]].”''

The [[Socialist]] State is the ''city that is a [[cauldron]]'' and the way of [[One purse]] where you own nothing and are supposed to be happy. See [[Globalism]], [[Babylon]].

== Cracker culture ==
In Thomas Sowel's Book ''Black rednecks and white liberals.''
Blacks inherited some of the culture brought to the south from Europe.

In Elizabethan England the root of the word ''cracker'' derives from the verb crack (meaning to boast) and the noun craker, Elizabethan Roots: The word derives from the verb crack (meaning to boast) and the noun ''craker'', which William Shakespeare used in his 1590s play ''King John'' to describe an obnoxious gascon or boaster.

By 1760s, British and American colonists applied the term to Scots-Irish and Celtic immigrants who settled the ''lawless'' southern backcountries of Virginia, Maryland, the Carolinas, and Georgia.

There was a fierce independence among both the blacks and whites. Most black were not slaves on large plantations but worked together with there masters for mutual survival in a difficult time.

=== Discrimination and Disparities ===

At the end of slavery they knew what it took to survive for the understood what was needed to be succesfull as an [[individual]] and [[family]].
<blockquote>
"The plain fact is that the black poverty rate declined from 87% in 1940 to 47% in 1960, prior to the great expansion of the welfare state that began in the 1960s under the Johnson administration. And as late as 1969, two-thirds of all black children were living with both parents."
</blockquote>

'''"Once you permit those who are convinced of their own superior rightness to censor and silence and suppress those who hold contrary opinions, just at that moment the citadel has been surrendered."''' <Ref name="archy">[[Archibald MacLeish]]</Ref>

1509 min transc quote
In the case of blacks, I would pick the period from, say, 1940 to 1960.
18:18
In 1940, 82% of black children
18:24
were raised with two parents. After the 60s, and all the social things
18:33
that happened, that fell to 17%. And so you destroyed one of the key institutions of any society,
18:43
the family and its influence and that's the consequence. Similarly, with things like violence,
18:52
the homicide rate among black males fell during the 1940s by 18%.
18:59
It fell again by 22% between 40 and 50. Now in the 1960s, which is when all progress is assumed
19:09
to have begun, the Supreme Court began creating new
19:14
constitutional rights for prisoners and criminals.
19:19
And almost immediately beginning in the 1960s,
19:25
the homicide rate doubled. And it doubled after three consecutive decades of
19:34
falling homicide rates for the whole country.

>> Peter Robinson: So, Tom, again, let me quote, if I may, from discrimination and disparities this is you writing in that book.
20:00
There was a far more modest decline in the poverty rate among blacks after the Johnson administration's massive war on poverty programs began.
20:09
And by 1995, only a third of black children were living with both parents, among black families in poverty,
20:15
85% of the children had no father present Close quote. All right, this brings us to a very important question,
20:23
which is did the Great Society, did these? We have government programs, civil rights, you've already said those were essential,
20:32
simply as a matter of justice. At roughly the same time, we get welfare programs, a massive increase in government spending, the so called war on poverty.
20:42
And we also get cultural upheaval, shifting or erosion of certain cultural norms and
20:50
your argument is civil rights is the civil rights legislation.
20:56
Equality before the law was just and necessary and overdue we're happy that that happened, it needed to happen.
21:05
But your argument is also that federal money, that the rise of the welfare state and the erosion of cultural norms
21:14
took progress among black Americans, stopped it and reversed it.
21:19
In other words, that they actually did harm or that they were merely irrelevant.
21:25
>> Thomas Sowell: They did harm across the society, not just among racial minorities.
21:35
You have people who've had meaning taken out of their lives.
21:43
People, for example, I see in California, especially people
21:49
who have young people with cars will go into some street area and
21:55
then do all kinds of crazy driving with a car in order to attract a crowd.

21 min social programs took meaning out of the lives of blacks by altering the culture generating a mental and emotional malaise and apathy

malaise an indefinite feeling of debility or lack of health often indicative of or accompanying the onset of an illness

22:01
And that's what they get. But people who have meaning in their lives from what they're doing,
22:09
if you have having a family to support, having a child to raise,
22:14
things like that, that puts meaning in their lives. But when all of that is taken out of their lives by the government, and especially when the government is paying people when they have no husband present and not paying if there is a husband present.
22:35
You are subsidizing a social change that is doing far more harm than whatever incidental good you are doing just by handing out some money.

He produced two main findings in his book Charter School's and their Enemies.

the first, he found that charter school students, especially black and
Hispanic students, outperformed the public school students.
24:13
And the second measure- >> Thomas Sowell: In the same building. >> Peter Robinson: In the same building. You've got, in one example,
24:18
only 7% of the kids in one public school passed a math proficiency exam. Among the charter school kids on the other side of the wall,
24:25
being taught in the same building, the figure was 100%. So let's pause with that finding, how can that be?

Thomas Sowell got less respect the more he accomplised
"One of the ironies that I experienced in my own career was that I received more automatic respect when I first began teaching in 1962 as an inexperienced young man with no PhD. And few publications than I did later in the 1970s after accumulating a more substantial record."

In Carlo Collodi's <born on November 24, 1826>classic story in the original 1883 book The Adventures of Pinocchio, the wooden puppet transitions from a character defined by major vices to one who embodies core virtues.

Pinocchio, was a puppet
He lied
Slothfully neglected his duty
Disobeyed his maker and his conscience.
self-centered, thankless, and easily led into temptations.

To become human he must

Face the painful consequences
Accept the light of Honesty and Truthfulness
Bravily risk all for others sacrificing comfort for sake of Selfless Love and Devotion abandoning his idle, stubborn ways for hard work, caring for his father and attending school diligently.
Disney made the puppet Innocent, naive, and impressionable.
Carlos made.
Him Cruel, petulant, and rebellious. Pinocchio immediately kicks Geppetto, and wilfully runs away and even kills the Talking Cricket with a hammer. It is a Dark, violent satire. A world of starvation, murderers, systemic corruption, and severe physical trauma used as a cautionary tale witr Brutal consequences. Pinocchio burns his feet off, gets trapped in a dead donkey, and is nearly fried by a green ogre.

Underlying Message "Don't pull my strings." A political and educational critique emphasizing that we must acquire knowledge and understañding to escape societal manipulation.

What consequence shall you face?

If you send your children to public school you are grooming them for socialism and demoalizing them to accept covetous practices, depending oni. The property of others to get free things is covetous. And covetousness is Idalotry.

"That the man who first ruined the Roman people twas he who first gave them treats and gratuities. But this mischief crept secretly and gradually in, and did not openly make it's appearance in Rome for a considerable time." Plutarch's Life of Coriolanus (c. 100 AD.)

The early church and Christians were a well organized voluntary society who were persecuted by the elite for not joining in the welfare systems of the Pharisees and the Romans run through their government temples. The social safety net provided through what was called public religion was considered a covetous practice because it provided benefits through contribution compelled by men who exercised authority. Modern Christians love these "dainties of rulers" these "wages of unrighteousness" and those benefits of the socialist welfare State.
