I like WV, Appalachia, history, statues, historic preservation, christian universalism, democracy, & distributism. Degrees in none of these.Joined October 2021
I love this explanation by C.S. Lewis re: why understanding the past is so important (as a real life-enhancing element...not as a curiosity-satisfyer).
It's like another physical sense. Touch, taste, sight, hearing, time perspective, smell, etc.

On May 10, 1960, Democratic voters in West Virginia went to the polls in their state’s primary. The state was predominantly Protestant, and Kennedy’s Catholicism would be faced head-on. Part of the campaign’s strategy included this ad, where he discussed his religion.

Joe Biden and his defenders want you to believe that if a group of assailants were attacking a highway trucking route, and law enforcement later firebombed their suspected hangouts while they slept, that action would constitute self-defense.

The Atlantic has a particularly thorough and damning story about the self-inflicted catastrophe at a poor state's flagship university. I think it's the last one I'll read. They make me too sad. (h/t @ameliaknisely) theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Zbigniew Brzezinski was a top foreign policy official in the US government for decades, and a right-wing hawk. Here he is dismantling the fanatical pro-Israel propaganda of Joe Scarborough on MSNBC that the Palestinians are to blame for the failure to achieve peace
Saint Porphyrius Orthodox Church in Gaza, an ancient church dating back centuries, on a site where Christians have worshipped since at least the 5th century, has been damaged from a blast. The Palestinian Christian community is often forgotten in all the suffering. Prayers for…
