When white racists or supremacists claim that the racial mix of their country that belongs to their ancestors who first came to the land is now being disrupted by the growing population of the black and people of color, and by the influx of both illegal and legal immigrants from third world countries, and they need to do something about it to prevent themselves from becoming the minority group in the country.
From the US to the UK to Australia, right-wing politicians are promoting the great replacement theory among frustrated or unemployed voters, who feel that their lands are being invaded by Mohammedans, Africans, Asians, and refugees, who would one day form the majority of the population, if there is zero restriction on immigration.

When you allow Jesus’ favor, wisdom, and power to grow your small or insignificant beginnings, just as He took a boy’s “five loaves and two fish” to multiplying them to feed five thousand-odd people.
Be it your career, business, or relationship, let Jesus, the multiplier, be part of the little you have, and witness His power in multiplying them beyond your dream or imagination.

When white racists and supremacists in the name of Christian nationalism want others to believe that they are the anointed and the righteous, when God’s righteousness has been credited to all believers of Christ by grace, who receive it by faith and not by works, regardless of their race, color, or social status—when God made Jesus who had no sin to be sin for all believers, so that in Him they are considered “right” in God’s eyes.
Trumpublicans, January 6 “patriots,” and morally bankrupt GOP members want those who don’t look or think like them to believe that white privilege is a divine gift, which should prevail in all spheres of life at all times and in all places, turning a blind eye that white ≠ right and white ≠ might.

The psalm par excellence from the Book of Psalms, in the Bible, which has been used as an effective spiritual weapon by Christian believers time and again to fight against any plague, pandemic, or pestilence.
Guesstimate how many millions of believers (or even pre-believers) worldwide have read or prayed Psalm 91 to seek divine protection against Covid-19.

When fertile or fitting real-life or contextual questions and math tidbits or humor in a math textbook, submitted to Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE) for approval, are often rejected for politically incorrect reasons, or because the items could potentially be perceived to be linked to politics, race, religion, or sex.
Items like “Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not divide by zero!” and phrases like “beautiful curves,” “immoral algebra,” and “juicy little theorem” are banned without being given valid reasons—aren’t these rejections part of the sanitization of Singapore math to only publish sterilized or sterile contents to satisfy the mathematical wants of a humorously or prudishly challenged audience or readership?

When a situationally ethical US President broke his promise to make a rogue country a “pariah” over its grim human rights record, by fist-bumping with its de facto ruler, who green-lighted the murder of a dissident journalist.
The choreography of President Biden's interactions with the Saudi crown prince, which exonerates a grisly murder with the victim being dismembered without the rogue mastermind being made accountable, shows that a bump is worth a thousand words.

The untapped tool that has hardly been used by oft-boring or uncreative math writers to convey difficult concepts to their lay readers—when math educators-turned-doodlers or artists-turned-math writers could disrupt math publishing such that the world’s most disliked school subject needn’t be terminal once it becomes optional.
The use of mathematical doodles could be seen as a visual version of math guides for dummies, idiots, and morons—an intersection of math, art, and creativity to raising the quantitative literacy of millions of semi-innumerate people worldwide.
