Shi Deyun, Chinese fugitive accused of killing teen nephews in California, to be extradited from Hong Kong

Comme d’habitude, j’ai l’impression que les médias oublient l’essentiel pour se concentrer sur le sensationnel, car dans l’article ils précisent que sa mère l’avait battue avant de l’envoyer à l’école, mais après ils disent que c’est pour le t-shirt qu’elle est condamnée.

@nicolasm Ils omettent surtout la situation sociale qui pousse les gens à faire n’inporte quoi dans leur désepoir et ignorance.

Oui, et à lire tous les rapports on se demande souvent où est le père dans tout ça...

@nicolasm bof, souvent les pères ne sont qu’un vecteur de la misère générale ...
Dans notre univers il est à la société de remplir le vide matériel laissé par leur absence, pour les admirateurs de la vielle folle Ayn Rand et les adeptes de la théologie de la prospérité c’est à la mère de prouver si elle est digne de la prospérité.

Prosperity theology
▻https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperity_Gospel

Recent U.S. history
The Neo-Pentecostal movement has been characterized in part by an emphasis on prosperity theology, which gained greater acceptance within charismatic Christianity during the late 1990s. By 2006, three of the four largest congregations in the United States were teaching prosperity theology, and Joel Osteen has been credited with spreading it outside of the Pentecostal and Charismatic movement through his books, which have sold over 4 million copies. Bruce Wilkinson’s The Prayer of Jabez also sold millions of copies and invited readers to seek prosperity.

International growth
In the 2000s, churches teaching prosperity theology saw significant growth in the Third World. According to Philip Jenkins of Pennsylvania State University, poor citizens of impoverished countries often find the doctrine appealing because of their economic powerlessness and the doctrine’s emphasis on miracles. One region seeing explosive growth is Western Africa, particularly Nigeria. In the Philippines, the El Shaddai movement, part of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, has spread prosperity theology outside Protestant Christianity. One South Korean prosperity church, Yoido Full Gospel Church, gained attention in the 1990s by claiming to be the world’s largest congregation.

Ayn Rand

In 1976, she retired from writing her newsletter and, despite her initial objections, allowed Evva Pryor, a social worker from her attorney’s office, to enroll her in Social Security and Medicare.

Rand’s funeral was attended by some of her prominent followers, including Alan Greenspan.

Objectivism
▻https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivism_%28Ayn_Rand%29#Ethics:_self-interest

The essence of Objectivist ethics is summarized by the oath her Atlas Shrugged character John Galt adhered to: “I swear—by my life and my love of it—that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.”

Quand une mère doit laisser ses jeunes enfants dans la voiture pour pouvoir passer un entretient d’embauche, c’est qu’il y a un problème quelque part

@nicolasm Je vois. Puisqu’il est puni de passer un entretien d’embauche sous ces conditions, la pauvre serait mieux partie en laissant les gamins dans la voiture pendant qu’elle braque une banque ;-)
