Good job showing how the "Cult of Cold" leads to real suicide and empathy leads to abundant life. Which all the major religions have been telling us forever.
Yes! The traditions back that up (Good Samaritan, Ubuntu’s “I am because we are”), and so does history... leaders who glorify hardness miss signals and make blood-costly mistakes. From famine policies to “collateral damage” doctrines that breed blowback.
I subscribe to a number of Substacks, Jermaine, but I really look forward to yours because it just hits the mark. Thank you for speaking truth to empire in such a powerful way. Grateful for you and your voice in these dark and challenging times.
