Our Descent into Clown World
American Thinker ^ | 5 Jun, 2023 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 06/05/2023 4:05:31 AM PDT by MtnClimber

There's never been a communist revolution that did not devour itself. Why should ours be different?

Before the Woke Wars began in earnest, I once naïvely thought that men's professional sports would remain a small redoubt from the insipid idiocy of "political correctness." Stadiums where rowdy fans cheer on strong men engaging in physical acts of confrontation — and sometimes bloody violence — seemed like sturdy cultural ramparts capable of keeping leftist indoctrination at bay. Alas, owner-imposed ideology across leagues and organized intimidation campaigns against individual players have combined with enough force to crash through the gates.

Now grown men who have spent their lives training for battle meekly embrace ever-changing Marxist planks before millions of spectators, who likewise are allowed to watch only if they implicitly accept the State's woke dogma. Will players and fans be forced to kneel during the National Anthem this week? To reject their religious faith as an expression of "hate"? To applaud child-grooming and predation? To cheer the World Health Organization's dictatorial control over their lives? Stay tuned. The sports leagues will let you know what to believe just as soon as the Marxist brigades lay down new marching orders. Even men with a surplus of testosterone will be expected to comply.

Just as the beer companies, fake conservative news networks, and so many iconic American companies before them, the sports leagues have turned their backs on generations of loyal fans in a display of repugnant pusillanimity. I wonder whether the Judases will one day regret it. I know that the ESG- and DIE-pushing communists are castrating corporate holdouts that resist the Woke Borg, but by bending to the Borg's will, these companies have destroyed any goodwill with lifelong allies. When the Marxists come for another pound of flesh from their corporate vassals...

And we are all dealing with the results of clown world. Everything is in your face.

WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.

Excellent article. J.B. Shurk hits another one out of the park.

As to a new Dark Ages, this one will have to be forced because we have the electronic printing press (the internet) which would otherwise forestall a worldwide economic, intellectual, spiritual paralysis.

Just like the SS in pre-war Germany, the Woke will have to artificially separate us from communication with each other. The un-Woke will be--must be--sent to the work camps.

"Hey, somebody's gotta do the work! Because as we all know by now, the Woke don't Work."

Amen. I think we're all just waiting for someone to light the fireworks.

And the 2024 Election is just the right event to kick it off.

“And we are all dealing with the results of clown world. Everything is in your face.”

Nothing is in my face except the media which is my choice to watch. The people I work with and others that I’m around are pretty normal.

“Now grown men who have spent their lives training for battle meekly embrace…”

I’ve learned there is a difference between physical bravery and moral courage. I’ve seen some ugly scenarios. Not the least is watching men who have taken the pledge of allegiance who stand around watching football players disrespect tge flag, people they’ve paid kneeling for tge anthem and say nothing. Don’t walk out

All too often writers preach the obvious to us as to how bad our situation really is! They define with clarity how we got here. But they present little detail on how to correct the problem. Recognizing the problem is just a small part of the solution.

The author is ignorant about sports. Professional sports leagues don’t care about their fans — because they generate far more revenue from TV deals and corporate sponsorships.

The owners. The money guys. They are the ones who cave fast in order to keep the cash rolling in. What they do is very visible. What isn’t visible or easily knowable is how many of the an average joes are buying any of this crap. There may be a hell of a lot more roar than water in this wave. We may find out as it seems to be going completely fecking crazy.

It’s also in the stores we shop at. In the airports... droning on over and over. It infests the schools at all levels. Its on the internet, it’s on our streets. And on the radio and tv, like you mentioned. It’s at our sports events, in our military, in our places of employment. It’s at our libraries, at our community events, in our parades, in our politics.

But yeah, other than that, its not really in our faces.

Very good point. Just turn it off and encourage everyone in your family to turn it off. Propoganda doesn’t work when it doesn’t enter your gray matter.

So true. Sports are still going. They are still making money and they are still filling stadiums. I don’t think people today care anymore about this country because they are getting their daily dose of entertainment like sports and now betting online. Makes it easy to forget what the teams did a year or two ago. Some still are.

Everybody has their part to play. Eloquent and concise writers inform the masses and hopefully inspire a true leader.

THANK YOU for posting this! We need to constantly remind ourselves of these facts, anymore!
The only thing I might add is that the situation is complicated now, because we are being invaded by a multitude of foreign nationals, and our public school system has been compromised as well as our moral standards being destroyed.

Our Declaration of Independence is being challenged by the “Declaration of Dependence” aided and abetted by our own government.
