Today's video is a reflection on the 40th anniversary of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s chilling speech, "Men Have Forgotten God." There are many sobering parallels between the collapse of spiritual life in Soviet Russia and today’s cultural crisis in America like how the rise of materialism, scientific atheism and nihilistic worldviews are contributing to a decline in faith especially among Gen Z. If you've ever wondered why belief in God seems to be fading, and what can be done about it, this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss...

I’ll tell you why. The refugees who used to run 7-11s and old dilapidated, falling down Route 66 motels have moved on up to being Mayors, Governors, Senators and Congressmen. You know. They have begun doing the yobs Americans don’t want to do.

Much easier to “move on up” when the government gives you thousands of taxpayer dollars to start a business and survive as a foreigner. To my knowledge, no other nation on planet earth does that.
But the commies in positions of running and ruining America just love spending other people’s money to help their comrades come here and change the demographics and jihadi landscape.
I agree 100% of everything you said.
Before reading this, I will say leftists are in charge, they are wildly over represented by a certain tribe that has been pushing anti American, anti white sentiment for decades, and this is reflected in popular culture, where red haired superheroes and Vikings and British royalty are black. Black black black black black is pushed and promoted in music and tv and in movies. And the changing demographics, (thanks to the same people who run the media) like to only watch things where they be representin’. And whites are weak and malleable and such up what they defecate in their faces. And this culture is quite frankly inferior. Ballet is replaced by twerking. Rap replaces rock. LCD replaces elevated forms of art like opera and fine arts . Michelangelo is a turtle not a painter…
...is because the Russians won the "Cold War".
During the 60s, Soviet agents infiltrated American Society and created "splinter groups" in the inner cities and colleges.
Groups formed, the likes of; The Black Panthers, Women's Lib, Gay Rights, The SDS etc.
But mostly, The Hippies.
Now they are running (ruining) the republic.
Yep, reject God and Satan rushed in to fill the void.
He is the ultimate opportunist.
Agreed, but with the term ‘fatigue’ becoming more prevalent…. maybe some form of enlightenment and change is beginning to happen.
We have forgotten God would have been my sentiment, too.
It’s the other way around. It’s because they lost the Cold War. When the Soviets were around, we knew who we were, we knew what we were for, and we knew what we had to do. Since then we don’t know who or what we are, what we are for and what we have to do.
I’m not one to recommend poetry here, but see the poem “Waiting for the Barbarians”:
“What is to become of us without Barbarians?
Those people were a solution of a sort.”
Even if you want to argue that the Russians were behind all our recent developments, the Soviets weren’t around in the end to take advantage of that. I would say, though, that we did it to ourselves. We were a large country with a lot of potential divisions and latent hostility. Without an external enemy or a challenge, we turned on each other and many turned on the country itself.
“Without an external enemy or a challenge, we turned on each other and many turned on the country itself.”
Without an external enemy? That may have been true immediately after the Cold War, but now we’ve got plenty of them.
No, they won. Go back and reread my post.
The American Soviets now call themselves democRATs. The 60s were a time of revolution, and those hippies grew into adult Marxists. Now the RATs control everything; the Universities, lower education, the print and broadcast media, virtually all cities, many churches, the deep state and half of the state governments.
Just like it says to do in the Communist Manifesto.
When the Soviets were around, we knew who we were, we knew what we were for, and we knew what we had to do. Since then we don’t know who or what we are, what we are for and what we have to do.
You are making my case.
Even if you want to argue that the Russians were behind all our recent developments...
Why would I want to do that, and why would they need to? Our own domestic communists are on unbridled full display, and doing a fine job of trying to destroy the USA.
China’s a rival, but we haven’t been able to come together to oppose it in the way that we did to oppose the USSR.
Is Russia really a major threat to us now? If our government had been more competent, maybe it could have lessened the tension between us and the Russians.
We have real enemies in the Middle East. Iran, certainly, but we haven’t come together to oppose a Middle Eastern threat, and our government’s mismanagement hasn’t helped over the years.
The generation that came out of the Depression and WWII was spectacularly capable of coming together to meet the Cold War challenges. We haven’t been able to do so since then. We don’t take any external threat as seriously as we did in the Cold War era.
