If Pizzagate was not real then explain why pedophile code words were used in so many of the Podesta emails? Explain all the creepy child torture art Tony collects.
America’s descent into post Christian neo pagan depravity began in the 1960’s. A significant percentage of the population has now embraced decadence in all its forms. Widespread drug use, pornography, homosexuality ,earth worship, wanton abortion, quackery and dependence are common. The Democrat Party does not exist in a social or cultural vacuum. It has a very sizable, repugnant constituency.
Kind of a smarmy article. Trying to be woke in his own way.
The premise here seems to be that both the “Cult of Woke” and the “QAnon conspiracy theorists” refuse to engage in debate with non-believers.
I reject that premise. I do agree that the screaming harridans of the Cult of Woke refuse to engage in any sort of discussion. They just lecture. But I think it should be quite obvious that the QAnon people (whether right or not) are actively trying to “red pill” people. They want to educate. They want to engage. They are not afraid of debate — they welcome it. But the Woke people are afraid.
Why does this idiot keep talking about Q anon and act like it’s something to do with the “ woke “ idiots? Night and day
Furthermore these leftists , these morons , these crazy lunatics z!!!!
are starting to piss a lot of Democrats off
to the point where I think that they’re really going to change a lot of votes from D to R
Many many many people in this country love this country !!!!love it’s institutions !!!!love the freedoms!!!! love the right to work and to achieve !!!!!
and they don’t want to see all this hundreds of years of progress taken away by a bunch of Marxist morons
Mark my words on that
I like this article and I think it has a lot of merit.
But I believe it excludes a facet of the ersatz - religions. The rise of far Eastern philosophies and religions. All Western nations ankle bite each other, but are in reality connected / tied together and face the same threats and have the same social trends / movements. The reasons for this are for another thread.
However, from Northern Europe to North America, you have the rise of far Eastern religions even among multi-generational Western Caucasians. In particular, these are Buddhism and these Indian Guru’s etc. This way of thinking is “spiritual” and “philosophical” but it excludes Christianity. It typically works very well in conjunction with a globalist, pacifist, more liberal way of thinking where people still want a spiritual component in their life but not be confined by Christian values.
Yes, people are becoming less Christian, but they are also flocking to other religions or philosophies, including Buddhism, Hinduism or these Guru’s, and even Islam.
As to the cause for the loss of Christianity? #1 Public education (It’s secular and at best agnostic, in many cases atheist/socialist even though it’s not perceived as such). #2 Hollywood, the arts and media. #3 Globalization (change in demographics and government policies to support this globalization). Now it’s a self perpetuation loop that feeds itself. Once these things become established as a trend, changing trajectory is extremely difficult, may it be the radicalization of Islam that started in the 70s and continues today, or the loss of Christianity and it’s value system in Western nations...
“Conspiracy theorists might not debate you because they think... you’re acting in bad faith and just trying to make fun of them”
Just because they’re paranoid doesn’t mean I am not just trying to make fun of them :D
Harsh-
But true.
And Joe Biden is considering a running mate with ties to scientology.
“They are not afraid of debate — they welcome it.”
Nonsense. Anytime the Q brigade steps out of their little sandbox around here, all they do is try to pigpile anyone who dissents from them with nonsensical spam posts. That’s not the behavior of people who welcome debate.
In fact it was this behavior which led to them getting shoved into that sandbox in the first place, because they couldn’t play well with others.
all these posts about how Christianity is ‘dying out’ are bunk- the facts show something quite contrary to that claim-
New Harvard Research Says U.S. Christianity Is Not Shrinking, But Growing Stronger
“Meanwhile, a widespread decline in churchgoing and religious affiliation had contributed to a growing anxiety among conservative believers.” Statements like this are uttered with such confidence and frequency that most Americans accept them as uncontested truisms. This one emerged just this month in an exceedingly silly article in The Atlantic on Vice President Mike Pence.
Religious faith in America is going the way of the Yellow Pages and travel maps, we keep hearing. It’s just a matter of time until Christianity’s total and happy extinction, chortle our cultural elites. Is this true? Is churchgoing and religious adherence really in “widespread decline” so much so that conservative believers should suffer “growing anxiety”?
Two words: Absolutely not.”
I’ve maintained for some time that leftism is a Christian heresy, and this article hits on some of the reasons why I think that. It has both millennialist and gnostic tendencies.
America’s descent into post Christian neo pagan depravity began in the 1960’s.
If you know where to look, it predates the '60s.
Eric Vogelin said as much in his masterwork “Science, politics and Gnosticism”.
At one time it was required reading in college.
