There's great wisdom here. If you're "educating" people about how bad things are, but you're not helping them to attain what they need to face it, then you're simply bringing about spiritual harm in your readers.

Don't panic. Face our present difficulties with a sober mind, and help others to do the same

Assuming that this moves forward and goes through, it could be something to watch to develop an understanding of how well lib states will be capable of enforcing such propositions onto their rural red sectors

The temptation of worldly comfort and prosperity drives God away from the soul

“The servants of Antichrist more than anything else strive to force God out of the life of men, so that men, satisfied with their material comfort, might not feel any need to turn to God in prayer, might not remember God, but might live as though He did not exist. Therefore, the whole order of today’s life in the so-called ‘free’ countries, where there is no open bloody perse­cution against faith, where everyone has the right to believe as he wishes, is an even greater danger for the soul of a Christian (than open persecution), for it chains him entirely to the earth, compelling him to forget about heaven. The whole of contem­porary ‘culture,’ directed to purely earthly attainments and the frantic whirlpool of life bound up with it, keeps a man in a constant state of emptiness and distraction which gives no opportunity for one to go at least a little deeper into his soul, and so the spiritual life in him gradually dies out.... All who in the present day desire to preserve faithfulness to Christ the Saviour must guard themselves especially against every attrac­tion towards earthly goods and against being deceived by them. It is extremely dangerous to give oneself over to every desire to make a career for oneself, to make a name for oneself, to obtain authority and influence in society, to acquire wealth, to sur­round oneself with luxury and comfort.”
