“We live in an age of full spectrum deception.” — Edward Dowd.
You realize, don’t you, that what’s going on in our country is the collapse not just of an empire, or an economy, but a comprehensive paradigm of human progress. The hallmark of post-war life in Western Civ was supposed to be a return to sanity after the mid-twentieth century fugue of mass psychotic violence. The wish for just and rational order was not entirely pretense. But that was then. Now that we are going medieval on ourselves, the not-so-ironic result will be our literally going medieval, sinking back into a pre-modern existence of darkness, superstition, and penury, grubbing for a mere subsistence in the shadow of scuffling hobgoblins, our achievements lost and forgotten.
What’s most appalling is that our governing apparatus is visibly willing that to happen. When Barack Obama warned America to not underestimate Joe Biden’s ability to f[ ] things up, was that some kind of joke? After all, it was Mr. Obama and his fellow blobsters — the cabal of Intel spooks, covert Marxist bureaucrats, lawfare ninjas, globalist megalomaniacs, post-liberal think tankers, weapons grifters, degenerate billionaires, and assorted mentally-ill camp followers — who inflicted Joe Biden on the body politic. And then ran him on the country like some demon algorithm designed to wreck the USA as fast as possible.
The source of anguish in all that is the struggle to understand why they would want that to happen. What debauched sense of history would drive anyone to such lunatic desperation? It’s a cliché now to say that the Democratic Party has turned its traditional moral scaffold upside down and inside out. It acts against the kitchen table interests of the working and middle classes. It’s against civil liberties. It demands mental obedience to patently insane policy. It’s avid for war, no matter how cruelly pointless. It’s deliberately stirring up racial hatred. It despises personal privacy. It feeds a rogue bureaucracy that has become a veritable Moloch, an all-devouring malevolent deity. And now, rather suddenly, it aligns itself with a faction that seeks to exterminate the Jews.
And how did the opposition to that epic divergence into bad faith turn so flabby? How did the Republican Party roll over and wheeze so feebly while the FBI ran amok swatting grandmothers in dawn raids, and the US attorney general made justice a whore, and a Republican Congress allowed the Frankenstein agency of Homeland Security to flood the country with its enemies and give them gobs of operational cash? If Mr. Trump was unappetizing to them as a leader, why were they unable to produce an alternative figure of standing and stature at least equally resolute? They look like traitors and cowards.
For the moment, the country lies mired, inert, and demoralized in the face of those terrible mysteries. But events are still tending and the hidden hand of emergence still operates backstage, preparing surprises for us. You are necessarily aware that the center did not hold. It’s even hard to locate where the center used to be with the action so heavy on the far-out margins. You’re watching drag queens importune young children to shove all the Jews into the sea. And the kids are sitting next to their mommies. What happened to the mommies’ brains that permits them to think this spectacle is okay? How will the mommies ever get their minds right?
In some quarters, a great rage is building. Not a few resent the overthrow of common sense, common law, and common decency. You better believe they will be aiming to do something about it. They will stand up for their dignity, their culture, their history. Virtue isn’t dead; it’s just broke down on a lonely highway waiting to hitch a ride back to where the lights are still on. Don’t forget that this really is the land of the free and the home of the brave......
We will see, won’t we?
“In some quarters, a great rage is building.”
land of the free home of the brave? Gone with the wind.
This all follows, quite logically, from leftist, Progressive, cultural Marxist premises about the nature of reality.
1. Human nature is near infinitely malleable.
2. All evil comes from the store of history and culture we call Western Civ.
3. It must all be torn down so it can be rebuilt as perfection, where all knowing and wise elites (or dictator) decide everything for the stupid and evil masses. They are to be replaced by children, carefully educated by the state, to bring about utopia.
The will to power. Mostly, the power to kill without consequence.
To understand human behavior, you have to understand human motivations.
Humans are just bags of emotions walking around.
Communism will never work because humans are bags of emotions walking around.
But it sounds good to stupid people.
Hollywood and Madison Avenue and Wall Street and Washington, D.C. have convinced millions that happiness can only be found in a mansion or a yacht or a private jet, and that it is OK to use any means necessary to get those things.
And if you aren’t happy, then be angry.
Hate everyone for keeping you from achieving happiness.
It’s not your fault.
You can’t work harder or be smarter because the man is holding you down.
So you hate and apply the salves of drugs and promiscuity and entertainment.
You lie and cheat and steal and hurt and kill.
And the other unhappy people control you.
The country/world was headed in a very bad direction long before Joe Biden was placed where he is, and Obama was certainly a part of it.
Trump Biden roughly 50 50, not 95 5.
and abortion threatens to kill off trump from both sides.
There is no optimism, only faith and the vurtue of hope, in Jesus’ Victory.
Remember....Clinton won...twice. Obama won, Twice. Biden will win, Twice.
World Wars, Twice.
I would argue that 0bama won three times and is trying for a fourth.
