Leftists seem to thrive on hate and evil. They always seem to achieve the same results...hell on earth.
I just finished reading a book about the Russo-Japanese War in the early 1900s.
The Russian Army and Navy got their clocks cleaned by the Japanese.
Few people realize the effects this had on the Russian people.
The losses were astounding.
A European Army lost to an Asian Army.
It was humiliating.
Then WWI came along and the Russians got beat again.
The author of the book makes the case that the Russians were defeated because they selected their military leaders based on their politics, and not on their war fighting abilities.
Does that sound familiar?
Excellent article. Very well written without the cumbersome verbosity of a Victor D. Hanson piece. thank you for posting.
Good article

At the core of totalitarian thought and behavior is the practice of forfeiting personhood to a consecrated idea. When a society elevates the idea above the sanctity of individual life, citizens suffer abuse, coercion, violence, and pain. Millions die because political idolatry presupposes perpetual human sacrifice.
It is certainly nihilistic to propose that the individual only exists through membership in a collective, today termed an "identity". You hear this a lot in the form "As a ____, I see..." - the notion that one might see something outside that collective identity makes certain people on the left very uncomfortable, because with individual identity comes individual responsibility. Practically all leftwing ideology these days is a desperate attempt to submerge the individual into the group in order to avoid individual responsibility. There is black history, women's math. That someone might perceive either of these through eyes untinctured by some collective identity is actively denied. What is being denied thereby is the existence of an individual soul.
When I read the lead article’s use of the word “destroyers,” I remember the book of Revelation’s use of the term...somewhere. So I looked it up.
It is at the “last trump,” when God takes to himself his great power ... and He “destroys them which destroy the earth,” Rev. 11:17,18.
He is going to destroy the “destroyers,” the anti-God lawless, anarchist, Nihilist, Bolshevik types that have now taken America by the throat, in other words.
Who have gotten us by the throat, only because a once Bible believing mostly Christian America, has let them. An America which once knew these things were prophesied to happen in the Bible, if they “forget God.”
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all nations THAT FORGET GOD,” Psalms 9:17.
Which has become decadent and soft, without the will to rise up against the greatest crime in the history of this country (the election).
The destroyers are here now, and will remain so...unless a spiritually aroused America, which “knows God,” rises up against it. Not politically, but spiritually aroused.
America has been the bulwark, the last hold-out against these “destroyers,” will it rise to the occasion?

Do not let a crisis go to waste!
The Bolsheviks knew and used it.
