We have been taught that to doubt the MSM and pop culture messages is to be ‘retro’, stupid, misinformed, bigoted, etc. etc. We have been taught that any questioning at all, in the slightest way, against ‘diversity’ and demographic shifts is RACIST and horrible. We have been taught that religion, and especially Christianity, is dumb. The only kinds of religion that are acceptable are those that are largely secular - which is what Judaism has become in so many ways. Although oxymoronic, ‘secular religion’ is the ‘acceptable’ ‘cool’ way to approach ‘faith’. It's basically secular humanism with a church, synagogue, or equivalent attached.
This mindset is so entrenched that we will not be able to fight it effectively without breaking the spell that has been cast by decades of cultural conditioning. We cannot and will not win back the culture without discrediting the message of ‘intellectualism’ of the left and showing it as the pseudo-intellectualism that it is. We will not have a serious shot at changing societal thinking until we are seen as the ‘smart’ ones, the intellectual ones, the ones who have thought it through and who have reasoned the most. I believe that the middle-right and conservatives, together, truly are those with the well-reasoned intellectual approach, but for many in society we are Archie Bunker or much, much worse. This absolutely has to change for anything else to change substantively.
You’re completely right, FRiend. Sadly, even I, at 32, don’t believe that I will see a return to God in public in my lifetime. I believe the damage that has been done has cut so deep and destroyed so much that was considered fundamental just 50 years ago that turning back to where we were is impossible.
I was just discussing with my wife a few weeks ago about how I believe our yet-to-be-conceived children won’t know what it means to be a Boy Scout or Girl Scout. They won’t know what it means to celebrate the birth of Christ on Christmas. They won’t know what it means to celebrate the resurrection of Christ on Easter. These will all become passé and likely cease to exist. There’s already a war on Thanksgiving and even a call to ban Christmas. In 25-40 years, I believe the winter will be just that much colder as the idea of Christmas will be left to private celebration and not permitted in the public square.
I’m only 32, but I’m already convinced that I won’t live to see the age my grandfather (at 78) or even my mother (at 56) have seen today. I believe war is coming; a war of ideas, a war of spirituality, and a physical war against tyranny. The stakes of the entirety of humanity and the free world are on the line. It’s literally a juxtaposition of freedom and prosperity or slavery and poverty and will likely mean the future for generations of humanity.
