Sullivan isn’t so much talking about the militant woke vanguard, as about corporate leaders and affluent Whites who do anything to appease the woke crowd. It’s fear on the part of the corporate bigwigs, and boredom and restlessness for other affluent, suburban Americans. They want to be seen as “doing good,” and so they pick up the radicals’ slogans.

When you get older you start seeing this life as temporary and, if you are Christian, take very seriously Paul’s words: To live is Christ and to die is gain.

For non-christians the sunset years must be hell on earth.

The press, military, intelligence agebcies, law enforcement, congress, senate, executive branch departments, k through 12, religion (the Pope is a Marxist), social media, tech companies, entertainment (TV, music, movies), corporate leadership and board rooms, professional and college sports,

HAVE ALL BEEN INFILTRATED.

Every single aspect of our way of life is under assault. When you go to church and get lectured on climate change, you know the Devil’s in charge.

Exactly - and if companies didn’t rely on gubmint contracts the gubmint would just sue them in court. Fake assimilation...

I believe that drives a lot of the suicides and drug abuse; so many people with nothing to live for and nothing to die for.

I find your lack of faith disturbing. We have built a nation in the Wilderness. We have fought great murtherin’ wars and defeated fascism and collapsed the Soviet Union. Are you telling me that a half baked socialist philosophy is going to destroy us and it is inevitable?!! Bullshoi and it’s not just ballet!
