The Sophie's Choice Between Politics and Religion
A Rational Choice: "The Lesser of Two Weevils?"
 
The Hegelian Choice: "I would prefer not to"

US Politics without Religion
(and w/o the Wokism)

"Religion is the mother of culture."
–René Girard

"The only way to effectively fight ​“Eurocentrism” is from within, mobilizing Europe’s radical-emancipatory tradition. In short, our solidarity with non-Europeans should be a solidarity of struggles, not a ​“dialogue of cultures” but a uniting of struggles within each culture."
- Slavoj Zizek, "The Need to Traverse the Fantasy"
