I respectfully disagree.
What we are going through is little different than what the country went through in the early 1920’s and late 1960’s.
We are witnessing the transition of ruling power migrate from one generation to the next. This happens like clockwork. And it’s never pretty.
Whenever you look at our leaders and ask, “Why are the so old?” And then you realize they are not all that much older than you. And the “up and comers” look like babies.
The young people—and there are a bunch of them—think differently; communicate differently, and live differently. It’s like watching an alien race from afar.
But when you spend time among them, they aren’t that horrible.
These times are generally marked by wars, depression, and social upheaval.
Sure they might seem scary. But, those of us watching “our world” slip away have to realize we can do what we can to teach these kids. We can explain how stuff works. We can explain how nasty the world is. But honestly, there are simply not enough of us involved to make much of a difference.
Once that has become clear, you batten down your hatches financially and health wise, surround yourself with those you love, and enjoy the good things. If you are not willing to do that—or if you fight it...your life will be miserable. We don’t have to change to meet the woke crap. We should be watching, listening, and bringing wisdom to the arguments.
I don’t see either side’s “grey beards” doing that.
Much of what you say makes sense and in fact I am living your recommendation as far as taking care of my own and not being to very bothered by whats going on. Part of the reason is I believe little of what I read in the media although there is so much of it it does give one pause.
I do remember the 60’s well since I turned 18 in 1960. I just don’t recall the so very obvious corruption we see throughout Government.
Paraphrasing my Pastor a little.....
....in today’s sermon he talked about ‘the sleeping giant’....and that giant is the Christian Church....
No one would have been afraid of Goliath if he had been a neutered being.....slumbering...
......but Goliath was a threat!.....to be dealt with!
Essentially our culture is being overrun because Christianity isn’t the fortress of defending the faith anymore
We have given up, given in.
We have joined the culture of the ‘amused’.......’muse’ means think!
Amuse means ‘not think‘
We embrace the counter culture of ‘not thinking’.....of wanting to be constantly amused!
It’s pretty funny to watch how the elite trip over themselves in desperation to hide their deeds from public knowledge.
Public awareness is their annihilation.
