This is rooted in a certain kind of American Protestantism, going back to Norman Vincent Peale, an acknowledged influence on Trump. This is why we need religion scholars to understand our current age.

Because the killer robot fairy tales are designed to make us ignore the reality of climate change (just like Musk's bogus "green tech" era now seems, in retrospect, explicitly designed to also prevent real solutions to climate change...though it was likely just a grifter grifting).

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.

Six small line charts showing the percent of U.S. high school students choosing each sexual identity response option by grade (9th to 12th), 2015 to 2025, with 95% confidence intervals. Heterosexual falls from about 85 to 90 percent before 2021 to about 73 percent in 2021 and 2023, then rises to about 78 to 80 percent in 2025. Gay or lesbian stays between about 2 and 5 percent throughout. Bisexual rises to about 12 percent in 2021 in every grade, then among 9th graders falls to about 7 percent in 2025, its 2019 level, while other grades stay near 10 percent. “Some other way,” added in 2021, falls from about 4 percent to about 2.5 percent. “Not sure” stays near 3 to 5 percent. A dotted line marks 2021, when CDC changed the response options.

Any wide-scale attacks by Russia and/or China will also involve attacks against civilian infrastructure, from banking to trucking to hospitals to power companies. The goal is to paralyze and disrupt the West's ability to make sense of events and reach consensus on how to respond in a timely manner.
