Some Thoughts on the Carlo Acutis Canonization

 1: It is uncomfortable to see private pictures of this lad. Some of the early twentieth century saints were not photographed but in highly formalistic settings, and thus their privacy was not involved. This is because the cameras were less common and their use less casual. 

Instead we see Mr. Acutis in very casual settings, such as at Christmas parties, with friends, etc. Considering that this kid died a minor and is no longer with us, showing this images is kind of disrespectful, specially those in which he is in beach settings.

2: As soon as I learned about him, it struck me that he was a marketing plot for young people. The accursed religion is constantly trying to appeal to young people, with events like the World Youth Day and the Youth Jubilee. There is a surprisingly large number of people who are invested in this kind of events and Carlo Acutis is their perfect mascot. 

But for people like me who already hate this religion, the marketing plot is met with contempt and condesencion, for we see it as yet another example of a mostly geriatric sect trying to appear hip and cool to the lower generations. 

They frequently picture him dressed like a normal, unassuming teenager, wearing jeans and T-shirts and tennis shoes, usually with a Laptop or a videogame console somewhere close. Their attempt to fit in with this lad is in my opinion is fairly pathetic and an unequivocal source of cringe. If you want people to treat your religion seriously, stop covering up for pederasts (the type of people who would abuse teens like Acutis) and be consistent with your teachings. A mascot isn't going to solve your problems. 

3: I am amused that they call him "God's Influencer", despite the fact that he perished in 2006 and back then this wasn't that common. Carlo Acutis only made a website to present reports of eucharistic miracles, he never sold or talked about consumer products which is the definition of an influencer. If anything, he would be God's blogger. 

By calling him by such an irrisorious name, the Vatican exposes themselves as out of touch, ignorant and superficial people who see their religion as nothing but a consumer product. 

4: I have noticed that "Catholic" websites that talk about this lad often mention the fact that he played with videogames, specifically with the PlayStation console. However, I am yet to see any mention of the titles he used. 

This is weird because they try so hard to be relatable and yet this information is barely ever specified. Considering they consider him to be a saint, the titles he played were unlikely to affect his virtues as long as used without excess, and thus his adoring fans could use them without significant danger to their hearts. 

Yet the silence suggests that he liked a few inappropriate games, like Dead Space or Grand Theft Auto, and the Vatican is afraid of recognizing this. 

This shouldn't be that hard. For comparison, I can mention (almost) every videogame I have ever played. Maybe Carlo Acutis wasn't such a big videogame nerd after all?

Ok, maybe I went a little bit overkill with this list, but it was just to prove the point that for such an allegedly important feature of Carlo Acutis' personality I am yet to hear a similar list. 

The Charlie Kirk Assassination is a Circus

The Charlie Kirk Assassination TM is a circus, and nothing could convince me otherwise. It's a generic divide-and-conquer psychological operation whose only special quality is that a man got shot in front of fans and family and bled to death in the open air. 

It is clear that the establishment controls both sides of the political discussion. Whenever they want to advance the left they advance them, and whenever they want to advance the right, the chance is given to them. 

After all: both sides practice usury and unjustly bomb foreign nations, both sides are full of evil people who steal and bribe and both sides are sold out to the banks and billionaires. It makes my blood boil when I see mainstream leftists or rightists fight over who is voting harder because neither will get whatever it is that they want.

It seems that this is the turn of right to advance. The elites first dominated subversive people by giving them establishment progressivism. You will be allowed to be gay/black/woman in peace as long as you keep voting and support Ukraine. But now that the "left" has turned against Israel, the elites have betrayed them.

And why wouldn't they use the power of secular martyrdom? The left had George Floyd, and now Charlie will be canonized by millions of adoring fans who should know better. All the libs who are cheering at the murder of this man are shooting themselves in the foot because this is likely what the elites want them to do. They hate people like Charlie so much they don't realize this is likely a trap. 

Also disgraceful is the rightist MAGA types who dox this people - acting as if they didn't know they were capable of such violence - but fail to organize with more pressing necessities, like Israel stealing their taxes or Trump protecting his friend Jeffrey Epstein. 

They throw temper tantrums about political violence, like if they warped classical liberal views didn't raise into power with war and decapitations. 

It has been truly frustrating to see this people tear each other apart over whether Charlie Kirk deserves sympathy or derision. Your politics are a joke! Stay away from the internet until you have purified yourself from the mainstream left and right.
