For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fake Moralists: When someone claims the moral high ground, but only attacks vulnerable targets while saying nothing about those with power, or directs their morality at only one part of a political divide, kick them to the curb. For example, American evangelicals had no problem attacking LGBQT people, a topic that is basically never mentioned in the Bible. But when they say nothing while their representatives commit adultery, divorce, or even child rape, things that are explicitly condemned in their holy book, you know they have an agenda and should be dispatched to the dustbin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Political Opportunists\/Paid Propagandists: Most of these people are failed actors or entertainers, and get into the influencer\/podcaster sphere because they can still be seen daily. But beware, they are paid by the highest bidder. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Billionaires\/Trillionaires: We don&#8217;t need these people. They do not give any benefit to society, as individuals. Their only value to civilization is the businesses they own, and those businesses, without fail, collude with or trample their competitors to make consumer choice impossible. And their monopoly power over the labor force, with both salary suppression and offshoring, is causing the system to artificially lower the rates that employees should be getting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organized Religions: With the way things are currently, I don&#8217;t really see any societal benefit to organized religion. If individuals are finding a benefit in religion, that is fine, but there is absolutely no reason not to tax them and treat them as any other political organization. If they won&#8217;t voluntarily spend 50% or more of their revenue doing good for society, there&#8217;s no reason society should offer them to exist tax-free, adversely affecting vulnerable groups like pregnant women, LGBTQ, and immigrants. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are more, but I&#8217;ll stop there. It&#8217;s long past time to clean house with these groups, stop propping them up, stop giving them extra benefits, and they should not be allowed to do anything a &#8220;regular&#8221; individual can&#8217;t do. It&#8217;s spring, so it&#8217;s time to clean house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now is the perfect time to kick out of your sphere of influence who either have an agenda or are paid to have certain opinions.
