The immigration policy of New Jerusalem

[...] Instead of aiming up, we just get jostled left and right in our hatred, while our aim slowly drifts downwards. I seek to resist this pattern. I do so by explicitly aiming up, in at least one policy mired in controversy - that of immigration. You see, there is actually such a thing as the perfect immigration policy. It is the immigration policy of New Jerusalem - the holy city, the bride of the Lamb.

The levels of reinforcement against those on the road to perdition

While these three mechanisms may be bypassed or corrupted, Reality itself will not be mocked. All who oppose it will perish.

How the two parties should now each move forward

Everyone who has actually seen totality is unanimous in how awesome it was. None of them even use any kind of reserved or qualifying language: nobody says that it was "kinda nice", or "pretty cool", or "quite pretty". No, their descriptions are always in the superlative form: "incredible phenomenon", "so beautiful", "10/10", "absolutely amazing".
