Starmer has not flung one single insult at Trump, who has flung many at him and his European colleagues.

HN, since you dont have any, it may be had for you to understand that other men exist in this world who may have balls.

Elements of Cultism in MAGA

---------------

The term "MAGA cultism" is a critical framework used by sociologists, psychologists, and political commentators to describe the intense, often unquestioning loyalty displayed by the most ardent supporters of Donald Trump and the "Make America Great Again" movement.

While "MAGA" is a mainstream political movement, the "cult" label is applied when the behavior of its followers shifts from traditional political support to dynamics typically seen in high-control groups.

Core Characteristics of the "MAGA Cult" Narrative
Observers who use this term generally point to several specific sociological markers:

Charismatic Authority: The movement centers entirely on a single figurehead rather than a set of static ideologies. Loyalty is to the person (Donald Trump) rather than the Republican Party or specific conservative doctrines.

Alternative Reality & Truth: A defining trait is the rejection of outside information (mainstream media, science, judicial rulings) in favor of the leader's word. This is often seen in the persistent belief in "The Big Lie" (that the 2020 election was stolen) despite exhaustive evidence to the contrary.

The "Us vs. Them" Siege Mentality: The movement often frame itself as being under constant attack by a "Deep State," "globalists," or "the radical left." This creates a defensive bond among members that prioritizes group survival over objective policy debate.

Isolation from Dissent: Critics argue that the movement creates "information silos" or echo chambers where any internal dissent is treated as betrayal (e.g., the labeling of traditional Republicans as "RINOs" or Traitors).

Christianity EtcRe: Tctrills: On The Repugnant Aspects Of Christian Doctrine by DeepSight(op): 12:36pm On Apr 09

Bro, this is a very lazy effort from you.

Verses that contradict the idea that Jesus could have died for our sins.

Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin (Deuteronomy 24:16).

It did not say that God Himself can't die for our sins. And yes, your father a sinner like you is not qualified to die for your sins.

Everyone will die for their own sin; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge (Jeremiah 31:30).
Please how does this verse contradict Christ's atonement? We still believe that every man will be punished for his sin, you wouldn't suffer for the sin of another. But we also know that forgiveness comes to us through the sacrifice of Christ. Remember, it was Christ that paid the price of sin not man but God.

The one who sins is the one who will die (Ezekiel 18:4).
You are repeating the same thing and the above explanation covers these.
Remember, it was Jehovah (Jesus Christ) who gave these revelations to man. Also, if in the same bible, men used animals to stone for sin, how much better is the blood of God Himself.
+
You are very funny. Each of the verses I cited clearly states that it is the very person that sins that must bear the punishment and no one else .

Suggest whether the blacks who owned slaves should pay reparations too.


Approximately 3,775–3,776 free Black slaveholders owned 12,760–12,907 slaves
By 1860, the number appears to have declined somewhat (scholars note a marked decrease from 1830 levels), though some sources estimate around 10,000 Black slave owners holding roughly 60,000 slaves (still a very small share of the 4 million total enslaved people). Free Blacks made up only about 11% of the Black population in 1860 (476,000–488,000 free Blacks nationwide, with most in the Upper South or cities like


Kamala Harris ancestors owned slaves.

Be aware , that this reparations matter is a hot potato . Those pushing it don't have the same agenda as you , if righting the past wrongs is what you are after.

I don't want to go further and quantify how much of America wealth was attributable to the slave output and to innovation. I suggest you do your own research.

The America wealth was built on the back of slavery so they bear a larger brunt of the cost. By all means go after all the others but those who benefited hugely economically are not unjustly being asked to pay.

If you work for a company and your pay was withheld should your heirs receive your benefits after your death? Of course!

Especially when the employers who withheld your pay were specifically compensated for working you without pay.

A few weeks ago we dealt with those who hold the highest responsibility if slavery. The African chiefs who sold their people, the raiders who captured and transported the slaves , the largest slave traffickers in history .
The reparation issue is a good question ,did you argue that the documented cases should be the only ones to pay. Which smacks of pinnibg the trade on a particular race.
Now to that add William Wilberforce, the British guy who moved boulders and rocks to have slavery trade banned and abolished

So it's on account of the attitude of Obidients.

I can understand that to a certain degree.

But why do you guys also jump to assume that any one who criticizes the govt is an Obi supporter?

WizardOfNG:
Rubbish as usual presented as general consensus.

How about the many, Nigerians , who are well-read and exposed enough to understand how developed nation got where they are today?

People in that category passionately believe Tinubu is doing exactly what developed nation did, including the unspoken appeal for Nigerians to sacrifice for a much better future as they have never had, so that Nigeria too becomes like Finland, Sweden, Canada, Singapore etal.

You think everyone is against Tinubu because Nigeria has a disproportionate amount of people who are uneducated and lack critical knowledge.

You will be shocked to see the error of your ways and thinking February next year as I have warned you already to expect.
+
The repeated appeal for the population to sacrifice is insulting when the people making that appeal bask in the highest and most wanton corruption.

Steady fuel at the pumps was as a result of the removal of subsidy,dangote can decide to sell his petrol in the foreign market if govt owed him money if subsidy was still in place....go and get your facts and stop listening to lies.....do your own research.
+
Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

This is a huge joke.

Steady fuel had jack to do with subsidy removal and we still even had the worst scarcity after subsidy removal.

In fact logically correlate steady fuel to subsidy removal if you can.

It was strictly achieved when Dangote refinery started pumping steadily.

When last did you have queues at the pumps? When last did you have to sleep over at the gas station,you still buy that same fuel at high cost during the scarcity induced by Shylock marketers every time, shouldn't that tell you something that the old subsidy regime was dysfunctional......imagine what would have happened if govt was still paying subsidies with this Iran/ USA war......you would have totally been at the mercy of marketers...... almighty nupeng threatened to go on strike during their clash with dangote and the country didn't flinch one bit as was in the past.....you might like suffering but as for me I prefer the current post subsidy regime.

Steady fuel at the pumps is thanks to Dangote which was NOT Tinubus doing please.

I only listed some initiatives that help black empowerment.
A good example. Stacey Abrams.
Green Energy Initiative
April 2023: Abrams began working with Rewiring America as a senior counsel to advocate for the transition to electric energy in underserved communities.
2023–2024: She led the "Vitalizing DeSoto" pilot project in a small Georgia town. This initiative replaced energy-inefficient appliances with electric upgrades for 75% of the community (approx. 116 homes) to demonstrate lower utility costs.

April 2024: Based on the success of the DeSoto project, the Power Forward Communities coalition—which includes Rewiring America—was awarded a $2 billion grant from the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.

Early 2025: The grant became a subject of political controversy. Critics, including President Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, alleged wasteful spending and questioned Abrams' role.


So the EPA gave her $2B billion to buy home appliances for deserving communities.
Most likely those deserving communities had appliances more expensive than what majority of Nigerians can' afford.
No need to say which race was considered.
Call a spade for what it is , A spade. That project was a direct reparation .
