Just found out X is against giving likes to an entire thread of adorable dogs. This is censorship of the appreciation of cuteness.

People forget that everything in this world can be corrupted except God. People fail. People disappoint you. People mess up. That’s just reality. And because of that, your worldview, your sense of truth, your identity, cannot be rooted in influencers, celebrities, politicians, pastors, or any public figure. They are human. They are flawed. They will eventually let you down. Your foundation cannot be them. It has to come from something deeper and steadier. If people kept that in mind, they would not jump to blaming entire races, religions, or communities for the actions of a tiny fraction. Human beings are not a hive. Groups are not interchangeable. The world is not that black and white. And people are not static. They sin but they can also change. They mess up but they can learn. They can do something wrong and genuinely never repeat it. Collective blame ignores that completely, which is why it is so dangerous. It erases the fact that individuals are individuals. None of this is easy. Doing the right thing never is. It takes actual effort to pause, think, reflect, and refuse the trap of lumping everyone together because one person acted badly. But the truth is this. Nothing pays off more in your life than doing the right thing consistently, especially when no one is watching. Not because you are trying to impress anyone, but because it keeps you grounded, clear-minded, and honest. You stop idolizing public figures. You stop demonizing entire groups. You stop expecting perfection from people who cannot give it. If you are not anchored to God, you will always be disappointed and angry. Humans will always let you down, not because they are evil, but because they are human. Perfection does not exist in this world, and anyone who searches for it in other people will stay disappointed. Anchor yourself to what is beyond you, not what is as fragile as you.

I once wondered how a society could stand by as 6 million Jews were murdered in gas chambers, how people became so desensitized to human life. Now I see the vile rhetoric blaming Jews for every societal ill—a twisted, irrational hatred that defies logic. It’s not just human; it’s a dark, anti-Christ force at work. I’ll keep calling out this demonic antisemitism. Never again. #StopHate #NeverAgain
