This has been described more simply by others as “Taking on the role of ‘suffering hero’ by proxy.”
Protecting that construct is overwhelmingly powerful by conferring absolute moral authority to the crusaders being duped by their own inflated sense of self worth.
When I first saw the ads for Tik-Tok as a *dance video* I thought they were horrible. People acting like complete fools and posting it.
I would have been embarrassed to at or look like that in public and here they are posting it online.
And people posting the most mundane details of their lives for the whole world to see, as if anyone even cares.
Technology has been a two edged sword. It definitely has added convenience in our lives but it has destroyed much of what is good and has real value..... relationships.
College groupthink encouraged by foreign agitators, many who are Muslim Oligarchs who have significant influence over the institutions.
These kids are lemmings, trained from a young age to support anti-American, anti-Israel and anti-Western ideologies. “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” -Vladimir Lenin
Those folks who think they have nothing to live for have been bred and brainwashed by our “education” system and the lying ....everyone....
Lazy, stupid, disaffected misfits gravitate to other lazy, stupid, disaffected misfits.
In “The Last Crusade: Spain 1936” (by Warren H. Carroll) he describes the leftist dupes as people with nothing to live for and nothing to die for; the idealism of the radical who believed they’d create a classless workers’ paradise was crushed early in the war when the communists murdered the leaders of their anarchist “allies” and conscripted the foot soldiers into communist-led units. Spain’s gold reserve was shipped off to “Uncle Joe” Stalin to pay for the weapons supplied to the radical republic, and the government was controlled afterwards by a communist minority as the primary source of Stalin’s aid. The rank-and-file leftist population was forced to remain in the fight at the point of the commissars’ gun barrels, and there remained little willpower left to resist the apolitical military’s advances. The hotbed of radical leftism, Barcelona, fell without a whimper shortly before Madrid did, ending the war.
They could reach put to churches I stead of to evil - but nope, embracing evil is the “cool thing to do” because all their godless Jew-hating friends are doing it.
Weallhave choices to make in this life, and when we choose our friends and influences wrongly, we embrace the evil i stead of the light, even if the person is a christian, and when we do, God must punish because of his righteous nature. We must suffer the consequences of our choices. There is no “do over”- so choose wisely!
Yes, I was upset by his dragging Kyle Rittenhouse in—how does he know what he was thinking? We can tell what the protesters are thinking by the fact that they are parroting the words of others without understanding the roots of what is being said; ie, those who don’t know what river or even what sea is meant in “From the river to the sea...”
I felt like the writer was doing a little “heroic doubling of his own in trying to be “fair” and show this is a phenomenon of both sides and using Kyle Rittenhouse as an example.
I think he would have done better to use as an example the neo-nazis. This would have shown that the phenomenon is about extremists taking heroic doubling action rather than just any young person taking some sort of action.
Too much free time, too few chores, and no expectations. The parents never demand anything from the little turds. the schools never demand anything from them. It is a wonder that they are not covered in moss and algae like sloths.
Gee what shall I do today? Work on equipment? Work on the house? Work in the greenhouse? Work in the garden? Clean out the woods and get firewood? Nah I think I’ll go into town and hang around and bitch about stuff.
I have been saying this for a long time. 15 years maybe. I’m glad others are finally catching on. These young cannibals have nothing to complain about but they read about the mighty protests of the past and feel a yearning to give their empty and instant gratification lives meaning.
Anyway ...
Well said. That vacuum they feel is their soul’s lack of relationship to the Creator. They can fill it with accumulating material things, fleeting achievements for ego gratification, bullying to assuage inadequacies, addictions to chemicals, bad habits and lust...and false causes/religions.
The Fallen Angel is very real and never ceases recruiting souls to provide company in the pit of eternal damnation. I mentioned bad parenting but another factor is no one bothering to testify and inform these kids that God loves them. Modern day Christians are too often the worst hypocrites of all by neglecting their duty to at least give it one shot.
Sorry, no. These are godless idol worshippers desperate for Jesus in their lives. The God-shaped hole isn’t getting filled, so Satan takes over and pushes his eternal hate for the things and people of God.
