This is the kind of stuff we used to see more of on Free Republic. Forte does a good job of analyzing the machinations of the Left, and of the modern struggle in which we find ourselves.
Yes he does.
I got out of academia in '93, just as the craziness was getting noticable. Looking back I am glad I did...not just for the family reasons I chose to, but because I would not have fit in today, even in the junior college environment I was working in.
I have blamed a lot on Hegel for the modern worldview...and I see I am correct in yet another way.
All I can say is while I have strength to stand I will fight against the darkness they want to impose on us. And, thank God, I know I am not alone.
I simply hope that it reaches "the right people". One can thoroughly, accurately analyze the state of things - but to what end? Is it any comfort to those intellectuals knowing why the future might be hopeless? Populists have no use for these essays, not unless they contain pictures of celebrity newborns or heroin-shooting rock bands. Or even Ann Coulter.
In any case, I generally attribute all issues to the vastly conflicting goals of urbanists vs. individualists. These are deeply ingrained differences of personal value, almost psychologically based reflections of opinion on what's "fair" about life and everyday survival.
Inspired by ever plainer terms... the nation is stuck in a classic battle of commies vs. freemen, confused only by those who wish to obscure this chasm for their own selfish gain.
I fear that we won't be "stuck" forever: Marxism is a cancer; eventually it wins, and then we die.
Hmmm! The "moderates" who dominate this forum these days would more probably ask for the censors to delete the thread!
