[Turn on Progressive TV to see a parade similar to the Second Temple.

The elites of Big government Liberalism demand ritual purity. They demand that the average citizen give up “his” stuff. They say that the average citizen does not get along. They have buckets of nasty labels for the deplorables.

They say that the average citizen is intolerant unless “he” conforms to the multitudinous ritual decrees of the Progressive state, universities and various other sovereign-loving affiliations.]

[Does this sound vaguely familiar?

Do the previous blogs sound familiar in contemporary America?

The average American citizen just wants to get along. The average citizen just wants to keep “his” stuff.]

[Since the Second Temple Law was complicated and self-contradictory, accusations could always occur (especially if one attracted attention).

This threat of accusation made it easy for common folk to choose a lack of self worth in order to avoid catastrophic accusations.]

[The mirror of the world_3a or the thought experiment_3a narrows the range of ‘somethings_2a’ that a person can envision_1a.

The Second Temple elites always acted more ritually pure relative to the subjects.

Therefore, one particular ‘something_2a’ became the best option for the common folk.

What was that something_2a?

Here it is:

Get along by (trying to) meet ritual demands and, most importantly, avoid being accused of violating the Law.]

[What might help me understand this?

I turn to the model of the thought experiment where I choose ‘something’.]

[Let me go back to the return from the Babylonian exile.

Why did the common folk of the second temple allow a sovereign^infra to form?

Why did they consistently support Sadducees, Pharisees and Scribes in their devotion to an object^organization of ritual purity?]

[The decline of the Roman Empire may have been tempered by the multiplication of less politically minded Christians.]

[Consider histories of Franklin Roosevelt written in the 20th century (7700s U0’).

Not one assessed the economic consequences of Roosevelt’s tragic and capricious presidential leadership.

The Federal Reserve Board caused the Great Depression.

Roosevelt did nothing to stop their madness.

He enhance the Great Depression by supplementing economic with political uncertainty.

Why did America not fall into revolution?

The common folk were still Christian.]
