“Let not your heart be troubled” John 14:1

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I say, rejoice.” Phillipians 4:4

An Act Of Hope (Catholic prayer)

O my God, relying on Thy almighty power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Thy grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer. Amen

St. Jude is the patron of hopeless cases (Catholicism)

“By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” Matthew 7:16

“But the things which proceed out of the mouth, come forth from the heart, and those things defile a man.” Matthew 5:18

allegedly Padre Pio said something like “if people only knew the value of suffering, they would seek only to suffer”

however people ought to seek to do God’s Will ultimately, whether God wants them to suffer or not

Christ manifested His Love for mankind by suffering and dying out of a love for others: “Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

Another comment talks about “pointless” suffering; arguably such a thing doesn’t exist. Such suffering is willed by God for some purpose: as an opportunity to express one’s love for others like Jesus, as a trial, as an effect of sin, and so on.

Naturally many of the virtues are ordered often towards alleviating certain sufferings of others:

The Good Samaritan helps the person who was suffering due to being harmed and stolen from (Luke 10:25–37). Parable of rich man and Lazarus is about the poor man Lazarus who suffers due to the greed of the rich man, and hence is rewarded with heaven for enduring sufferings (Luke 16:19–31). The book of Job recounts the sufferings of the trials that Job undergoes before being blessed by God for his endurance under difficulties.

Many athletes suffer in their athletic pursuits and recite quotes like “no pain, no gain”.

Hence: the value of enduring suffering as an expression of love and of doing good unto others

I’ve heard people quote St. Francis of Assisi as saying “Preach the Gospel. If necessary use words”

touching gesture

she identifies as Catholic afaik

would probably call it leftwing-authoritarianism

fascism is kind of economically left wing but socially right wing

good to see

not sure what the right could do to respond in kind as I’m not sure as many bannings have happened on conservative platforms

I think basically points of agreement should be identified and worked on together

small example: lots of people want to permanently change daylight saving in some direction or another. We might be able to come to agreement on things like this that can improve our society.

points of disagreement should be identified and ideally worked through

big example: abortion. conservatives believe this is the taking of an innocent human’s life and their freedom. Obviously if you believed that, you’d probably be against it too. The pro-abortion side does not often believe the unborn baby is alive like a child or adult is, and believes forcing a mother to give birth is a violation of her freedom. So we have conflicting claims of the freedom of the unborn child versus the freedom of the mother to not have to carry a pregnancy. These kinds of conflicts have to be worked through and ideally people can be brought to more of a consensus about them.

bro is maga place a new instance and have you considered disabling downvotes there because of brigading leftists like those who downvoted the charlie kirk post to oblivion

nice job and keep going with it and good luck

welcome back

looks like there is at least one such event for general gun violence awareness every june

It did but if you check the OP link as an example, some U.S. states have been passing laws to try to regulate social media (because allegedly lots of children are exposed to NSFW content via social media platforms)

I think that could work initially but I don’t know how sustainable that approach is

I’m thinking maybe in practice they will end up dialing the scope of this back some to make it more workable

I don’t really know but am guessing this will end up being a little difficult in practice and that it will force even people supportive of the move to amend the bills with changes to make them more workable

yeah I was wondering what people on nostr or on here were thinking should be what HC does or what other platforms should do in response
