I agree whole heartedly that Cardi's songs are Satanic, in fact her whole life is what you could call Satanic and there's no redeeming arc there, she didn't see the moral error in her ways and decide to change, she "sold her soul" so to speak and now she makes very very vapid statements about her music being for "adults", which I suppose is some category of grown humans with child like psyches who are constantly obsessed with sex, perhaps the people Freud liked.

As for Candace Owens, she has an interesting biography and if you ask me she's not genuine. That's what I gather from her Wikipedia entry, it's too contrived. But that's another discussion, in any case I would say that if Candace Owens really has the moral high ground then why is she even trying to have a discussion with Cardi B? Does anyone really think they can "save Cardi's Soul"? So my opinion, is that the whole argument is staged, essentially for people to discuss and pick sides, and for myself only after examining both sides critically I wouldn't choose either one. I'd like to see things get away from labels like progressive/conservative and more more toward something like sane/insane or perhaps just this is a person I can live next to versus this isn't. I like your blog because you're providing a space for classic Liberals to start examining what is going on on the Left.

As for the last sentence, and this is from a man. I don't have a problem with hoes, if someone wants to have sex a lot that's their choice, but as soon as you start to make money from your "pussy" then you transition from hoe to whore, which is essentially where you sell yourself. I agree there are moral lines, and if you cross them it will take you time to regain that part of yourself.

I think it's too early to say if there is a redeeming arc in Cardi's story -- who knows where she will land. Not sure if you are old enough to remember two big party girls of the 70's and 80's wholly converting to Christianity and publicly denouncing their past. Donna Summer and one of Prince's girls, Vanity (who sang songs like Nasty Girl and Sex Shooter 🤣, check out the videos to see where sexual imagery arms race really took off) grew out of the ultra-sexual stuff and changed their ways, because that is how many, many humans mature. We get older, we calm down. But if we have massively exposed ourselves -- especially with extreme promiscuity -- we tend to regret that.

Re: Candace, I don't really get where the claims of her not being genuine come from. She's a hugely powerful voice where before there was nothing. I give her the benefit of the doubt because of that. The spectrum of people on the anti-woke side is very wide, and personally I make an effort not to write anyone off because there are a handful of things they think or say that I don't agree with. We are living in an information war, we can worry about the details once we've won it. Or we will not win. But a massive thanks for reading and engaging and supporting my work!!! It means A LOT to me. 💚

Oh, I have nothing against hoes or whores doing their thing-- I just don't want them to be mainstream role models. That is private adult behaviour and should stay that way.
