You Make Me Feel So Jung
Steyn On-Line ^ | December 22, 2023 | Mark Steyn

~What's it all about? What's the grand unifying theory for what Kate Smyth a couple of years ago called the "controlled demolition" of the western world? At The Daily Sceptic, Dr Hugh Willbourn pins it all on dear old Carl Gustav Jung:

2023 has seen the culmination of a worldwide process which Carl Jung called enantiodromia, a notion he took from Heraclitus. Truly there is nothing new under the Sun.

Jung defined enantiodromia as: "The transformation of the hitherto valued into the worthless, and of the formerly good into the bad" and "the emergence of the unconscious opposite in the course of time".

There's a lot of that about: *"Celebrating diversity" means enforcing an ever more ruthless conformity; *Western nations are sewers of hateful racist prejudice and white supremacy, yet they're the only countries black and brown people … … innoculate you against an ailment of minimal risk to most people under eighty, but it will give you a heart attack, stroke or a Stage Four turbo-cancer and cause teenage footballers to drop dead on the pitch.

But get with the programme! In the western world's new Oppositeland, diversity is our strength, no matter how many rapes and stabbings there are, and the season of good will to all men now requires "counter-terrorism police" to safeguard its carols and Nativity scenes:

How not to get blown up at Christmas in your own country by people who despise us and hate the way we live .... Thanks for that. https://t.co/9Z2MV5PIKc — leilani dowding December 21, 2023

Boy, His Majesty's Home Secretary is a kidder. Get a load of this:

If you're out and about and you see something that just doesn't look right, makes you feel uncomfortable, is just out of place, let the police know.

One way or another, this is all going to come crashing down. And soon, I hope.

Secularists can search for the most convoluted explanations, but the wise know that we are in the last stages of Christendom being dismantled, and they’ll also probably have a good idea why Christendom in particular has been specifically targeted.

Societies usually can’t afford to indulge self-destructive behaviors. When countries become hyper-affluent, they can — and the toxins work their way through society.

In rich countries, the ranks of people who are “educated” but lack real skills grow large and demand well-payed positions, and when those ranks are large enough the work they do undermines society, rather than supports it.

Poorer societies do have those who prey on others, but their predation lacks the moralistic and intellectualized veneer of what happens in wealthier countries.

for now, as prophesied, till Jesus returns , much to the confusion of preterists who whistle in the graveyard presently.

yes we should fight the good fight and occupy till He comes

but enough of this false hope that we will get our world back before Christ returns. Look around , recognize the season , these are the end times.

want our world back ?

Evangelize

and help save souls

to get to the fullness of the gentiles

that will count in that last person into the body and bride of Christ ,

trigger the rapture, and jacobs trouble and salvation of Israel and the 1000 year reign of Jesus .

The “Gods of the Copybook Headings” are running late.

Hopefully they’ll make an appearance soon.

“Societies usually can’t afford to indulge self-destructive behaviors. When countries become hyper-affluent, they can — and the toxins work their way through society.”

It’s the disease of AFFLUENZA!

It contains it’s own cure but the cure is rather painful.

When countries become hyper-affluent, they also become hyper-effluent.

"The transformation of the hitherto valued into the worthless": that's pretty good. A year ago, the Miss Greater Derry organisation in my own state of New Hampshire became the first participant in the Miss America pageant to crown a transgender beauty queen. And, er, no, she's not exactly one of those cute girly trannies with a petite figure and feminine bone structure...

Miss Greater Derry would appear to have a greater derrière. But, as Bert Parks used to sing, "Thar she blows, Miss America"....

It's a good piece, not a great one, it has moments...

... but unfortunately it captures Mark's zeitgeist resulting from his ongoing health problems. Steyn was better when he swatting aside much of this mundanity for optimism. That is mostly gone now.
