As for the issue with taking down the USA and Western civilization, my impression is that a lot starts with school. The Frankfurt school of philosophy seems to have penetrated in the USA Schools. I mean teaching dumb half baked philosophy is not illegal. But like Ayn Rand says it world views trickle down in the modern world from the philosophers. So when philosophy gets everything wrong no wonder the USA is going haywire.
Of all the schools of thought of the twentieth century it is hard to find anything of worth. Or as John Seale says: "Most of twentieth century philosophy is obviously false."
But to get a detailed critique refuting at least the side of the Analytic philosophy the best is Robert Hanna. [Thankfully thrown out of the University of Colorado just to show the state of universities nowadays!]
   

about the virus

My idea of what to do about the virus is that one ought to go to the ocean or nearby sea or river every day. Dip in and then do some exercise and the dip in again. [And by going to the sea I mean to walk.]]
The reason is that in the blood there are little things that seek out viruses. But for them to be active one needs to boost one's system by fresh air, exercise, and a dip in fresh water.

Beit Midrash HaGra

The beginning of yeshivas was unpaid. But they were not simply the local prayer hall. So the two words "yeshiva" and "beit midrash" are somewhat close to each other. But even before a yeshiva was a money making institution as they are today, still it was not simply unorganized. You could go through the history of these kinds of places. Still the modern history starts with Rav Chaim of Voloshin. Before him, they were under the control of the local rav who himself was hired by the home owners.
But after that, they became independent institutions. Students were still not paid. They paid the teachers. Now in Israel, the students get paid by the State of Israel.

The idea of Rav Haim was a kind of needs of the hour עת לעשות להשם time (to do something improper because of the needs of the hour.)
And the great Litvak yeshivas in fact came to represent Torah in its purist authentic form and essence.  And they were all based more or less on the path of the Gra. [The ideas and approach of the Gra became the official world view.]

Nowadays, what I suggest is to also have a place that would be a Beit Midrash HaGra. A place which would be more along the lines of how yeshiva used to be. That is: open to anyone who wants to study Torah.  But the idea would be that it would be directed openly along the path of the Gra.
The advantage of this is that it would take into account the signature of the Gra on the letter of excommunication. Ignoring that has let the Dark Side [Sitra Achra] into the religious world. So with the name of the Gra on the building makes that less of possibility.

the evils of pride.

The religious world has a kind of problem of pride. [See all the books of Musar about the evils of pride.][The opposite of secular ideology.] That is a sort of collective pride. That is a sort of belief of moral and intellectual superiority. Neither of these accurate. But the only possible justification would be if  fact they would be more honest or smarter than anyone else. Clearly these claims are false.  If anything just the opposite.

Money and Torah just do not mix. When Torah gets to be a business, it turns sour.

I would like to suggest a new beginning. Something like a yeshiva based on the Gra. But not a yeshiva in the modern sense where people get paid. The is just too much a temptation to use yeshivas as ways of getting money from state of Israel .Money and Torah just do not mix. So what one ought to start is a Beit Midrash HaGra. The reason is that the term implies a place where people can come to study Torah but do not get paid for doing so.
In fact the whole yeshiva thing has really worn out its welcome. It started out without the sanction of the Gra because he knew that it would deteriorate into a money making enterprise.

And if Slavery (forced work without compensation) is so wrong, then why do black people not mind forcing white people to work for their free welfare checks?

Once you agree that slavery was some terrible evil then you have already lost the argument. Better to go along with what is open in the Bible--that Slavery is OK as long as the slave is not abused. Just forced to work. All England were more or less slaves under William the Conqueror. So were all Europeans under their lords in the feudal system.


The South was right. After all in the Bible there are Hebrew slaves and Gentile slaves. This is OK. The laws however are different for each one. [Hebrew slaves are let go after seven years automatically. A Gentile slave is never free until his master accepts money to free him, or gives the slave a document that says he is freed or there is injury of limb.] But it really goes against the Bible to say that a law of God was wrong.

[However slavery is an important issue because the simple claim that it is unjust mean automatically that one does not believe in the Bible.] 

And if Slavery (forced work without compensation) is so wrong, then why do black people not mind forcing white people to work for their free welfare checks?

If you look at the effect of England on the world you can not help but be astonished. Whatever it touched became prosperous and flourished. The USA, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, India, South Africa etc.

If you look at the effect of England on the world you can not help but be astonished. Whatever it touched became prosperous and flourished. The USA, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, India, South Africa etc. Count the USA as an extension of England and the effect goes further. [Japan after accepting an English kind of government.] [But take away the effect of England then things fall apart quickly.]]

One thing that is so astonishing about this is that there was nothing in the development of England that had anything to do with being planned. Not philosophy nor any political theory. [John Locke simply came to explain what had happened before him.]
