The Inferno describes Dante's journey through Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. In the poem, Hell is depicted as nine concentric circles of torment located within the Earth; it is the "realm ... of those who have rejected spiritual values by yielding to bestial appetites or violence, or by perverting their human intellect to fraud or malice against their fellowmen".[1]
As an allegory, the Divine Comedy represents the journey of the soul toward God, with the Inferno describing the recognition and rejection of sin.[2]

It was the hope that there were good individuals in positions of power somewhere, if not any hope of salvation is useless.
There is no longer time to build or reestablish principles from within, if it didnt already exist then it was already game over.

Q did give people hope
False hope
Was it worth it?

Not false hope at all.
That's why long periods of quiet.
Get people to figure it out themselves.
Of course many will err as the subject matter gets pretty esoteric at times, but who cares?

It's sickening to see a puff like Colbert, who enjoys every perk and privilege of a corrupt system, stand on his scripted soapbox and deride a good American girl for exercising her right to petition her government.
He teased her for taking a shot of Mace from behind his security gates. She shed a few tears and earned her stripes.
I wonder what the real Stephen Colbert would be like under adverse conditions.

Think logically.
Trump won.
The democrats wouldn't be scrambling right now to pull the 25th.
Powell wouldn't be calling for Trump's resignation.
This has never happened.
They wouldn't be doing this unless they knew they were screwed.
Absolutely. They're crapping their pants in fear of what Trump might do. This clearly goes way beyond a protest that got a bit out of hand.
This, more than anything else, is giving me hope that perhaps all if not lost, and light might yet prevail.

I'm starting to think there is just a Blackhat AI and Whitehat AI supercomputer giving orders and simulation battling each other out to be our new god.

During the post press-briefing Q&A today, an anemic Joe Biden described his top priorities. #1) Ensure that 100 million people get vaccinated against the "deadly virus" in his first 100 days. #2) Ensure that everyone wears a mask in public for 100 days. CCP treatment indeed. Totally out of touch with what Americans think his top priorities should be.
