Examining Vivek Ramaswamy

“I’m Hindu, and I’m proud of that. I stand for that without apology. I think I’m going to be able to be more ardent as a defender of religious liberty.”

Vivek Ramaswamy
Proving What A Disaster Religious Liberty Is

Recently in a campaign appearance our favorite Hindu Indian Vivek Ramaswamy said the following;

1. God is real

This is boilerplate for the White rubes in the nearly all white audience. Of course when your average white rube hears “God is real” he is thinking of the Christian God but let’s keep in mind that Vivek is Hindu. When Vivek says that “God is real,” he could have in mind the Hindu gods Vishnu, Kali, or any number of the demon gods that belong to the pantheistic / polytheistic Hindu religion. One thing is for certain … the real God that Vivek has in mind is not the God of the Bible because the God of the Bible pisses on all other gods who are not real.

2. “There are two genders.”

We will give Vivek this one while at the same time noting that in saying this he is contradicting his Hindu religion that insists that all is one. If all is one, per Hinduism, then how can there be two anything? Hinduism embraces “Oneism” and this “all is one” philosophy/theology teaches that individual souls (Atman) are manifestations of the same universal essence. “Oneism” does not have room for two genders. Not if it is being consistent.

3. “Human flourishing requires fossil fuels.”

We will give Vivek this one and will applaud him. The whole notion of ridding ourselves of fossil fuels comes right out of the green religion for which Hindus are known.

4. “Reverse racism is racism.”

We will give Vivek a half a point on this one. Half a point because the whole conceptual world in which “racism” arose and in which it still now exists is a Marxist world. “Racism,” or “Racist” are words that have no real meaning any longer, instead being used to mean; “I don’t like what you’ve said or done because it gets in the way of my triumphing over you.” If white people use this trope of racism we perpetuate the Marxist category and concept that has been used to conquer us.

5. “An open border is no border.”

This is good as far as it goes. However, much more needs to be said in light of Vivek’s support for the H1-b visa. This visa allows Silicon valley billionaires to continue to flood the US with foreign born computer coders — many of them coincidentally enough, Indians from Vivek’s India. So, yes, we need to close the border but we also need to shut down all entry to all non WASP foreigners into America. I doubt that Vivek would say that.

6. “Parents determine the education of their children.”

This is also true as far as it goes. It would be better if the man would talk about closing government schools and having an agenda for privatizing American education. Parents sending their children to government schools are not determining the education of their children if it is the case that the parents desire their children to be educated in anything but a non-Marxist, post-modern fashion.

7. “The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.

This is a untrue statement. The Trustee family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind. There is a difference. You can find that difference here;

8. “Capitalism lifts people up from poverty. Not Socialism.”

Here it depends on what kind of Capitalism one is talking about. Corporate Capitalism or Crony Capitalism or Finance Capitalism has historically worked hand in glove with Socialism to control markets. The fact that Vivek supports so adamantly H1-b visas suggests to me that Vivek wants a capitalism in which I’m not interested.

9. “There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.”

Here Vivek could be talking either about bureaucracy or journalism as the pretended fourth branch of government. This is true, of course. However, if Vivek really wanted to impress me he would talk not only about the horizontal checks and balances that we are supposed to have, he would also talk about the vertical checks and balances that were original to our form of government that has largely gone into complete eclipse.

10. “The U.S. constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.”

This has not been true in the US since 1861 and it is a pretense to suggest it is true today. It is more red meat for the white rube normies.

Scripture teaches;

You shall surely set a king over you whom the LORD your God chooses; one from among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.  — Deut. 17:15

If Americans remained Christian they would never consider voting for a foreigner and/or a Hindu to rule over them as their governor. Voters in Ohio, don’t shame yourself by voting for Vivek Ramaswamy.
