The role of Praxis
From the ground to the top mountain peak
It would be impossible to say exactly what Business is. It is that mysterious divinity, something like an Isis of the swinish, by whom all other divinities are supplanted. It would not be rending the veil surrounding this mystery to mention, here or elsewhere . . . Business is Business, just as God is God, that is to say over and above everything. Business is the Inexplicable, Unprovable, the Uncircumscribed, the point where it is enough to utter this Stock phrase in order to solve all questions, in order to instantly muzzle reproof. When these seven syllables have been uttered, everything has been said, everything has been answered, and there is no hope for further Revelation. Bloy
At the centre of my philosophic creativity is situated the problem of man. And therefore my philosophy is to an utmost extent anthropologic. To posit the problem of man -- this means at the same time to posit the problem of freedom, of creativity, person, spirit and history. Therefore I have chiefly concerned myself with the philosophy of religion, the philosophy of history, social philosophy and ethics.
My philosophy is of the existential type, if contemporary terminology be used. But it can be likewise regarded as a philosophy of spirit. In its basic tendency this philosophy is dualistic, although the term is about dualism of a particular sort and to some measure is not ultimate. This is a dualism of spirit and nature, of freedom and determinism, of the person and the in-general, of the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Caesar. And in this I sense myself closer to Kant, than to the monistic German idealism of the beginning XX Century. The initial point of my weltanschaung-outlook is the primacy of freedom over being. This provides philosophy a dynamic character and explains a basis for evil, as also the possibility of creativity in the world of something new. Freedom cannot be a determinisation by being, freedom is not delimited even by God. It is rooted in non-being. Berdyaev
And the unrepentant American Catholic Katherine Watt below. Less abstract with her Existential Praxis.
Below are the Top 10 repealable American federal laws enacted by US Congress and US Presidents, between 1944 and the present, to embed worldwide vaccination, mutilation and killing programs in US domestic federal law, and, through international pharmaceutical-military-weapons-product sales contracts and international mutual recognition agreements pertaining to pharmaceutical non-regulation, to embed the same programs in the national governance and laws of other countries.

For what it’s worth, I’m not a member of the “medical freedom movement.”
I’m a Catholic. I’m interested in understanding how the principles of Christian Legal Justice and Social Justice, as put into structured, written form by St. Thomas Aquinas and developed by other Catholics, have been systematically removed from the governance of human societies, especially in Western Europe and North America, and I’m interested in working to see those principles restored to centrality in the governance of human societies.
I think Christian principles of Legal Justice and Social Justice must be reflected in the laws of human societies for rulers and subjects to fulfill their proper functions in the development of the human personality and the salvation of souls.
I think societies that abandon those principles fall into ruin, as the fake pandemic known as Covid, and governmental orchestration of it, have agonizingly demonstrated.
I’m also mindful of the historical fact that the present-day, visible, institutional Catholic Church has been corrupted and weakened, intensively since Vatican II, rendering most of its current public leaders non-credible on these issues (i.e., current pope endorses global crimes such as vaccination, mutilation and killing programs).
I’m interested in working to see the institutional Catholic Church restored to a condition in which its leadership can credibly articulate and exhort rulers of nation-states to uphold Christian principles of Legal Justice and Social Justice.
Pray the Rosary.

Lastly there is a path shall we call the No Path as there is no resistance to Birdbrain in this land. Gestures a plenty. Like a puppet shadow play in Plato’s Cave after the Tyranny of 2020 and Covid vaccines.
ABSTRACT
Over the past two decades, there has been growing scholarly interest in nonviolent resistance—a method of conflict in which unarmed people mobilize collective protests, strikes, and boycotts in a coordinated way. Mass movements that rely overwhelmingly on nonviolent resistance sometimes feature unarmed collective violence, fringe violence, or even organized armed action. What do we know about the effects of violent flanks on movement outcomes? This article reviews findings on the relationships between nonviolent and unarmed resistance, violence, and the outcomes of mass mobilization, as well as the directionality of these relationships. The balance of empirical evidence suggests that organized armed violence appears to reduce the chances for otherwise nonviolent movements to succeed, whereas unarmed collective violence has more ambiguous effects. The field will benefit from greater analytical precision in comparing the units of analysis, scope, intensity, and media framing of violent flank activity. https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-polisci-051421-124128
