“Abortion is sacred,” Planned Parenthood declared. Biden told Dylan Mulvaney that banning transgender child mutilation is “immoral”. The head of the Public Religion Research Institute preaches about the “sacred work of white discomfort” in defense of critical race theory.
It is a mistake to think of the Left as a secular movement. People don’t throw their lives away for a set of ideas. They don’t turn on their parents, societies and entire way of life over abstractions. Only something that touches their deepest selves and offers them that sense of purpose and meaning in a broken world that religious people call revelation and holiness summons that fire.
That leftists don’t believe in a central deity is confusing to monotheists, but what they believe in is far older, a hybrid of primitive mysticism, laboriously revived by western romanticism, and theoretical acadamese nurtured by over two centuries of dilettante students, professional radicals and assorted megalomaniacal cranks who litter the history of socialism.
What these two strands of the western leftist worldview have in common is their conviction that there is an underlying sense of order, found in sociological patterns or energy auras, theories of race or tarot cards, that explain everything and that by mastering them we can transcend and fundamentally transform the universe, and everything in it, including our societies and ourselves..
This is the continuum linking paganism, academic theories and conspiracy theories.
Where leftist theology starkly divides from western and eastern monotheism is in the notion of divinity not as a central intelligent point of being, but as a hidden meaning scattered throughout existence to be decoded by human intelligence and spiritual striving. That is why leftists were attracted to eastern religions before dumbing them down into New Age mysticism.
To the Left, there is no God, but we all have the potential to become gods by mastering the secrets of the universe, whether that means technotopian transhumanism or becoming one with the AI gods they intend to create, forcing everyone into an ideal society that will unlock human potential, or figuring out the right energy patterns to usher in the age of aquarius. While seemingly very different approaches, the various utopian strands of leftism speak to a common yearning that pits them against the traditional beliefs of the societies they aspire to overturn.
The Left’s intellectual pursuits are primarily aimed at analyzing how power is distributed in a society. These academic and journalistic critiques build up to justifying its own power grabs. And the Left excels at analyzing and seizing power because power is its only source of meaning.
Much as ISIS leaders boasted that their brutal executions and mass rapes were their forms of prayer, politics is the religious practice of the Left. It has become the only truly meaningful expression of its beliefs after its social experiments in implementing its way of life through cults, communes and private arrangements fell through. Such side projects have been replaced by a white collar movement embedded in the managerial class of governments and corporations.
This movement is animated by a culture war in which all morality is reduced to power. The redemption of the nation and the salvation of the planet depend on a leftist takeover implemented by a white collar cult that has put its career aspirations and wealth at the service of leftist dogma in return for the conviction that the professional aspirations and privileges of its members are redemptive. An Ivy League education, an academic position, and a corporate executive’s office are no longer just personal achievements, but a moral crusade.
Mimetic movements like the Left take on the characteristics and eventually become the thing they are imitating. After spending all that time working from within the system, they have become the system. And the system has become them. Bureaucrats and CEOs have adopted the protective coloration of leftist virtue signaling to cover their many sins much as leftists adopted the protective coloration of government and corporations to cover their agenda.
The bloated ranks of government, academia and corporate monopolies merging into one blob is a symptom of leftism. The Left always thinks in terms of systems rather than people, of rulesets rather than values (despite devoting a good deal of its cultural propaganda to asserting that it does the opposite, but the easiest way to understand leftism is to invert every one of its claims to find the truth) and it is turning societies into hives of systems and rules.
But systems are leftist forums of religious experience and moral fulfillment. A leftist church is any institution and its service is a collective takeover of that institution. But the momentary triumph of the takeover is never enough. When these systems fail to achieve their utopian promise through technocratic rulesets, as they always must, they come to serve their primary purpose of destroying everything that sinfully exists to clear the ground for a glorious tabula rasa, a blank page,and a new form of man, for a new creation.
Each leftist failure serves as evidence that not enough of the past had been destroyed to make way for the future. That is why killing or sexually mutilating children, or racism, are sacred.
Much as to ISIS and Islam, destruction is sacred, so it is to all radical movements.
When construction fails, the only path forward is through destruction. Communist dictatorships drove millions out of cities or farms, controlled everything they read and thought, and when that failed killed millions. Declaring war on whiteness or deconstructing sex are more precise and intimate forms of destruction meant to also usher in a new future.
The “right side of history” requires completely remaking mankind. And that’s an ugly business.
Construction is tedious and the Left isn’t any good at it. Building systems and rules is different than actually creating anything. What the Left excels at is taking over existing systems by exploiting their weakness. But when the Left is actually able to build its own systems and rules to implement its own agenda, it discovers that the systems and the rules don’t actually do anything. Leftist bureaucracies ossify into pointless exercises once they no longer have enemies to defeat. When the USSR was stalemated by the Cold War, its Communist Party lost any reason for being and collapsed under the realization that it had no function except stealing.
The most reliable way to kill the Left is to give it total power, but deprive it of external ambition. In real life, George Orwell’s 1984 dystopia would not have lasted for generations, let alone centuries, its dedicated sadists and fanatics, as embodied by O’Brien would have killed each other off, as the Bolsheviks did, leaving behind a cowardly bureaucracy with no vision.
The fanatical sadists are overriding the normative impulses of the professional managerial class that the leftists have become in America, as they did in the Soviet Union. Riots or mutilating children remind them that they’re not just diversity deans or think tank experts, they’re the radical vanguard of a movement that is going to achieve what all religions have failed to do.
Abortion, mutilating children and racism are sacred acts because they promise to break through the complacency of the system, the routines of a suburban lifestyle, the commute, the meetings and the minutiae of inhabiting the system with orgies of blood and pain. Like Pol Pot murdering everyone wearing glasses for being westernized, the leftist system strives to transcend itself through ritual acts of destruction in the hopes of finding the secrets of the universe.
Transgender experiments on children began out of a conviction in human malleability. If men can become women, then they can perhaps become more than men. Eliminate sex roles and the family structure, and it becomes possible to imagine an entirely new form of society. And, less ambitiously, destroying western civilization is a prerequisite to building a new civilization.
What does a post-civilization look like? Like the surgically mutilated post-men and post-women, like the children never born, like ex-Soviet ghost cities and mass graves from China to France, these are the evil dreams of things that never were because they could never be.
Religion without god is a dream that slowly becomes a nightmare, cults of personality, human sacrifice and the search for meaning where there is none. Madmen create their own patterns, they find their own truths in the burning sun and in hallucinogens, and then write them in pain and terror on the bodies of their willing and unwilling followers searching for a reason to live.
The Left is not, as it believes, a new story, but a very old one, and though it prides itself on knowing many things, true and untrue, about the world, the one thing it does not know is that which men of religion and philosophy make a point of knowing, the knowledge of the self.
Leftists correctly believe that the world is filled with meaning, but what they fail to understand is the meaning of that meaning, believing that within those patterns are the secrets to absolute power, when what actually lies in those patterns of meaning is the One who made them.
Denying that truth, they worship power and then blood, they search for paradise and find death.
Its about time someone explained this. I knew it when I saw Americas elites cavorting with guys like David Attenborough and myriad other Europagans and bored royals back in the 80’s and 90’s. Ted Turner (and CNN) was their chief spokesman. They were all worshipping Joseph Cambell–and the public was eating it up. That was 30+ years ago, though the phenomenon goes back to the French philosphes. At this point, our betters have exploited every divide, every empty soul–creating new ones along the way–and then filling that void with their egos and lusts. They think that they smell victory dead ahead and they’re impatient, so now they’re forcing the end–or trying to. We’ll see what Americans do about it. Good article, Daniel. Yesh l’cha beitzim!
The end result is we ‘choose’ Joseph Campbell or myriad other pseudo-teachers and find ourselves cut loose from our authentic past. The most primitive tribes in New Guinea had a rich culture of stories, taboos, teachings, ceremonies etc. whereas the drugged out wrecks on the streets of Los Angeles are the most primitive people on earth because they have no past, NOTHING but madness and cravings.
Madness because they are fleeing the past in the expectation of some brighter future even while becoming convinced that there is no better future.
During the Cold War it was nuclear armageddon, now global warming, but some apocalypse that will destroy the future, leaving them with nothing except fanaticism and madness
Take the Soul out of Nature and you’re left with nothing but intellectual constructs which never hold up over time and always end in despair, destruction, and a new set of constructs.
Power and sex. Good point about power. Power over the external world is very dangerous. In reality God controls everything. power over the external world is setting oneself up as a God, which can be disastrous. Something can go wrong, uncontrollably wrong.
Sex is also what they worship, the ecstasy of the orgasm. Maybe goes back to Freud. Lures the young people to the left, since they are so obsessed with sex already. Abortion is a good example. They want sex without consequences, such as children. Hence abortion as a means of birth control.
They want to invent and then invoke a right to prima nocta over everyone while playing Dr. Moreau turning people into manbearpig for fun. All the while, everyone else obeys, works, plugs into a devices they barely control, get high, own nothing, DONT THINK and be happy.. Along the way, they create a janissary class out of trannies and other…misfits…to force matters. They split husbands from wives and children from parents to create true anomie. All functions in human society are aggregated into giant units they control.
Thats the plan, anyhow!
The monotheist claims that God controls everything but then when evil emerges it’s never God’s fault, it’s man’s fault. What that must do to a man’s self-esteem when he takes that man-hatred nonsense seriously.
If you want to rule men destroy their self-esteem, destroy their pride in being men, destroy their self-confidence in their “self”, their self is their minds, tell them that their minds are innately depraved or defective, that reason is limited, and that they’re guilty of Original Sin. Then you’ve got them on their knees praying for forgiveness and salvation from their own selves.
“We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.” ― Gene Roddenberry
You are an idiot. The Judeo Christian monotheist claims God created everything and he gave man free will.
Man does evil on a daily basis. Does man pay for it. Sometimes re: the end of WWII. We could see that. And who’s to say it wasn’t God’s hand guiding the victors?
re: other crimes like the treason of the Russia collusion coup plotters….we will likely not see our revenge on this earthly plane. One can only hope there is true retribution come Judgement Day.
As for man’s self esteem I can only imagine how damaged your is.
Gene Roddenberry? Really? You get your philosophy from Star Trek? That explains a lot. Do you see yourself as Captain Kirk or a Klingon?
Thank you Intrepid. I was just about to point out that THX1138 knows nothing about monotheism or at least Christianity as you did. I never take my Christian theology lessons from pagans.
Thank you. A wise move on your part, given the track record of the 20th C. Atheists
Roddenberry’s Star Trek repeated made the point that man could not be trusted with god-like power or replace or become God. The entire purpose of Q, masterfully rendered by John de Lancie, made this point very well and entertainingly.
There were other episodes whose names I cannot remember in which god-like power is given to mortals with evil effect.
Dear Kynarion, in reality there are no supernatural powers. Magical powers do not exist. On Earth every human value, spiritual or material, has to be EARNED by effort, labor, and work.
The opposite of the earned is the UNEARNED and that’s what Original Sin is all about, unearned guilt. That’s what altruism and socialism is all about, spreading the wealth by force from those who earned it to those who have not.
“If the good, the virtuous, the morally ideal is suffering and self-sacrifice—then, by that standard, capitalism had to be damned as evil. Capitalism does not tell men to suffer, but to pursue enjoyment and achievement, here, on earth—capitalism does not tell men to serve and sacrifice, but to produce and profit—capitalism does not preach passivity, humility, resignation, but independence, self-confidence, self-reliance—and, above all, capitalism does not permit anyone to expect or demand, to give or to take the UNEARNED. In all human relationships—private or public, spiritual or material, social or political or economic or moral—capitalism requires that men be guided by a principle which is the antithesis of altruism: the principle of JUSTICE.” – Ayn Rand
I prefer Mr. Spock.
“According to [Leonard} Nimoy, he based his portrayal of Spock… on the character of Roark from Ayn Rand’s novel The Fountainhead” – Wikipedia
I’m not surprised you use Wikipedia as a source. Wikipedia is and always has been a liberal/progressive outfit that can be edited by anyone.
I watched a 10 part Star Trek Retrospective on Netflix. In his own words, at no time did Nimoy say he based his character on Roark.
So you are lying. By the way, the Spock character had no problem using force and violence, unlike you, our resident dandy lion.
Guilt is a hard driver, pounded into Western man at an early age and bedeviling him ever since.
No God doesn’t control everything that is Calvinist doctrine. There is evil in the world because men have free will. I find it amusing your new snake oil is self-esteem, I thought Objectivsm was the answer. You should go to downtown Detroit at night and ax the gangsta with a gun if he needs help with his self-esteem.
Only hyper-Calvinists believe as you say. They are not Calvinists and their doctrine is not Calvinist.
God’s providence is compatible with human free will, and our free choices do not cause God to change or react or panic. The crucifixion of Christ at the hands of sinful men is a supreme example. God’s foreknowledge does not make God a puppet master.
The gangsta with a gun has loads of self-esteem, as do most incarcerated felons. One thing they certainly do not lack is self-esteem.
“To the Left there is no God, but we all have the potential to became gods….” That is what Satan tempted Adam and Eve with – “you shall be as gods..” and he still tempts people with the same offer today, to decide for themselves what is right or wrong.
If you cannot decide for yourself you will resent your oppressor and never follow through. The key is your Self — God. — Know Him.
Exactly what I was going to point out. There is nothing new under the sun. It was all started by the author of lies.
Thank you for this .
To a non leftist the left can seem as inexplicable as it is revolting. I have thought of it as a grand myopic groupthink but understanding it as religion or cult explains its appeal to its adherents and its viciousness and ruthlessness.
I’ve often been floored by a leftist’s complete absence of “ insight” into themselves that excuses their cruelty of the moment. .Perhaps “lack of knowledge of the self” is central to their “ religion.” If you point it out to them gently, you can see a flash of humanity but it is fleeting and so not a cure.
It’s why religions and their organizations were targeted and taken over by the left and it’s why mental health trainees are now taught to advocate CRT to all patients, all the time, rather than support patients in developing self knowledge.
Perhaps knowledge of the self is the only door out for an individual, If there is one.
You are so devastatingly right. Once you put the lens of “religion” or “cult” on it, everything falls into place. Thank you for sharing your insight.
To the casual liberal, it’s mostly groupthink, the social mores that they adopt, declaring one week that women are oppressed and the next that there are no women, but to the people who genuinely invest in it, it is a belief system
and a sizable part of it is about avoiding any self-insight, projecting personal anger outward, that is what making the personal into the political is about
people who can look themselves in the mirror don’t need to make the personal into the political
This quasi religion combines the worst of the generation of the flood and the generation of the Tower of Babel
Thanks Daniel, very insightful.
The human mind craves meaning and purpose and a belief in God is essential as otherwise this religious impulse is shoe horned into ”secular sacred causes” determined to build a heaven upon the Earth as a substitute for the cosmic heaven that no longer exists
Environmentalism is a neo pagan substitute with G W as its vision of the apocalypse
Without a God the religious impulse becomes utopian and a search for perfection in the here and now, but the perfect is often the enemy of the Good . Religious folk don’t search for perfection in this fallen world but hope for it in the afterlife
Even wise atheists know that if God never existed it would be necessary to invent God to act as a safe harbour for those potentially destructive crusading impulses
It’s just the opposite. If God and an eternal, supernatural, utopia in an after-life really existed, it would be necessary to live this life as if God and that utopia did NOT exist.
The pursuit of happiness in this life requires that a person take this life, fully and completely, seriously. That he fully understand and accept that there are no second chances, no magical redemptions or magical repairs for sins and transgressions.
The more seriously a person believes that ultimately there is another better life after he dies and in that magical, fantasy, realm his sins will be forgiven and their consequences magically repaired the less seriously he will take this life. John List is the perfect example.
Thank God your ramblings influence nothing and no one. You are simply an empty vessel. You believe in nothing, therefor you fall for anything.
He really is a nihilist. He sounds like an empty and unhappy person.
A nihilist yes but, more importantly, an example of untreated narcissistic personality disorder.
His Objectivist fixation, his unending sycophancy re: Ayn Rand and Leonard Peikoff, and his hatred of the Judeo-Christian tradition also confers on him a tendency to speak of himself in Messiah like terms.
Oh, ye of little faith!
The nihilists were the 19, 9/11 hijackers who were so convinced that God and an eternal, after-life, utopia really existed that they eagerly abandoned this life and flew airplanes into the World Trade Center. Their leader Mohammed Atta even packed his wedding clothes in his suitcase because he seriously believed he would get married in the fantasy after-life.
The vast majority of contemporary, modern, Jews and Christians have for now at least become so rational and secular that they simply have no idea what true, religious, faith is like. The true believer is not Joel Osteen, the true believer is Mother Teresa. The true believer is not Reverend Ike, it’s Saint Anthony of Egypt.
Sometimes he has something intelligent and interesting to say, but when it comes to anything theological, he’s a damned fool. Best to read his good posts and ignore the Randian lip-syncing.
THX has become self-esteem guru, read his earlier comment. I wonder if he uses that spray hair, Ronco use to sell?
Judaism prepared the ground for Christianity and both prepared the ground for Islam and Marxism.
But Marxism is all its essential, philosophical, points is religion cloaked in pseudo-scientific gibberish. As Objectivist philosopher Leonard Peikoff rightly states, ” Communism is not a new, rational philosophy; it is a tired, slavishly imitative heir of religion.”
Marxism is a religious fish out of its religious waters in order to survive it will have to jump back into religion, either Islam or Christianity. That’s why you are seeing such a close affinity and partnership between the Marxist Left and Islam. Between socialism and the Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Quaker, and other Christian churches. Between socialism and Jews on the Left. The march towards the American welfare state began with the Protestant Social Gospel Movement in the late 19th and early 20th century.
The Jews and Christians on the Right, who actually believe that their religions lead to freedom, liberty, and capitalism couldn’t be more wrong. Judeo-Christianity prepared the ground for socialism and socialism is preparing the ground back to a monotheistic theocracy.
Wow T. a two-fer. But then again, that is all you really have isn’t it. That and spamming us everyday.
1) Judaism prepared the ground for Christianity and both prepared the ground for Islam and Marxism.
2) Judeo-Christianity prepared the ground for socialism and socialism is preparing the ground back to a monotheistic theocracy.
Does anything original ever come out of that wet sponge that passes for your grey matter.
I think Lenny Peekaboo is not going to be pleased with all of your plagiarism. But you always have been a petty thief, haven’t you? You are definitely walking in Bidens footsteps re: the Neil Kennock speech.
If you want to label the 9-11 hijackers nihilists, go right ahead. It’s simply your opinion devised to suit your temporary needs. They were Jihadists.
As to the rest of your self-serving post, no one cares, most of all me.
If you didn’t care you wouldn’t be so obsessed with attacking every single one of my comments.
Moron, I don’t care about your opinion of the 9-11 hijackers.
What I do care about is your endless lying and simple-minded repetitiveness, your bigotry, your puffed up egotistical self-serving personae, and the fact that you think you have the right to insult Christians on a daily basis, based on their beliefs, especially during Holy Week and Christmas. You really don’t have a lot going on intellectually, hence your simplistic note-card philosophy.
I notice you tend to treat Muslims with kid gloves because there may be a high price to be paid for it. But when it comes to Christians and Jews there is no price to be paid. That makes you a P.O.S., a coward and a hypocrite. Man up, tough guy. I know you won’t.
And then you get upset when you get attacked. And you come with your mushy “If you don’t like my comments don’t read them” B.S.
Believe me, I don’t read them anymore. It’s just the same elementary school stuff endlessly recycled.
I don’t know where you think you are going with this Objectivist project of yours but from the lack of success it appears you are creating your own Objectivist Dark Age
Rubbish. Simple rubbish.
I’ve notice a growing tendency elsewhere on the right to “fight fire with fire” and become as intolerant as they are. These right-wingers oppose the liberal virtue of respecting the individual’s initiative to use his own reason to live his own life and express his own values. It’s all about power now, if the illiberal new-right populists take dominate.
Daniel’s critique of the left also applies to the emergent right. Both leftism & Christianity have a history of authoritarian government oppression. Liberalism arose in the Anglosphere not because of the “right” religion but because of the application of reason in the secular realm.
huh? ??????????
For the 1st paragraph start with the Ahmari vs. French debate.
As for the 2nd paragraph consult Jefferson & Adams on the Declaration. For Jefferson, the philosophical origins were the liberal tradition “… in the elementary books of public right, as Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, Sidney, &c.” Adams also found the “principles of nature and eternal reason,” as he called them, in the same authors (Novanglus, #1).
“I’ve notice a growing tendency elsewhere on the right to “fight fire with fire” and become as intolerant as they are. ”
Where? I’d like to join. Mass intolerance of the hard left is long overdue.
“These right-wingers oppose the liberal virtue of respecting the individual’s initiative to use his own reason to live his own life and express his own values. ”
I don’t. Most conservatives I know don’t feel this way. In fact, quite the opposite. They want to stop the LEFT’S war on individual freedom.
Our tolerance has enabled the left to just about destroy “the liberal virtue of respecting the individual’s initiative to use his own reason to live his own life and express his own values. ”
This liberal virtue has certainly been destroyed in China, Russia, Cuba, and many other places. The time has come for American’s to decide if this is the way they prefer to live.
I repeat: Where can I sign up? Mass intolerance of the hard left is long overdue.
Sohrab Ahmari (see his feud with David French) is leading this effort (as I mention in a comment waiting for moderation.) You’ll find others who dismiss reasoned discussion as weakness and government-imposed measures as strength. I haven’t kept a list as I hope they go away.
David French?
Didn’t he write the essay: “In His Defense of Free Expression, Mark Zuckerberg Spoke an Important Truth.” Mark Zuckerberg defend free expression? Didn’t he kick Donald Trump off FB?
Was French involved in National Review removing their comments section?
I hear he has finally found his home at the New York Times, a place that won’t list some conservative books on their best sellers list, in spite of better sales than those that are listed.
This is the wrong website to lecture about reasoned debate. Knowledge that the left is desperate to hide from us is easily found here every day. I call that defense of free expression.
I don’t agree with everything French says and sometimes I’m pulling my hair out wondering why? But in maintaining [classical] liberal principles while fighting the left he’s right. It isn’t weakness but a strength.
BTW, you and I are both for individual liberty. We are fighting to reignite the flame even though we lost the universities, media, and most corporations. Yet, deep down our message still resonates with Americans. At least I believe so. You?
David French is someone (There are quite a few on the left) that claims to be Christian, but supports abortion, gay marriage, and if he doesn’t support transgender surgery, for children, I would be shocked. Paul said don’t have fellowship with such people.
There is no reply button for your comment, so have to reply here.
“Yet, deep down our message still resonates with Americans. At least I believe so. You?”
I believe so. I just read Victor Davis Hanson’s essay on this site. I as well think the conservative dragon has awakened. I would be happier if our boycotts caused one 0r more of these companies to permanently close their doors.
There is a growing tendency to embrace the European Right over American conservatism.
The European Right (as opposed to European conservatism) is socialist, tribalist and obsessed with seizing power and creating a totalitarian state that eliminates all freedom.
It’s collectivist and anti-individualist.
They speak about eliminating the Constitution and the foundations of the United States.
Fortunately they’re a small minority, but in a conservative movement that is floundering, it’s important to be aware of them.
Yes, excellent distinction expressed with clarity.
and thank you for reminding us that this sort of thing is an issue as it’s embedded in human nature and thus has the potential to emerge on both sides
I would like to read an article on the rise of the European Right, in America. There is a “Christian movement” called the NAR New Apostolic Reformation (Not the NRA) these think they are going to take over the government, and make the world a better place, so Jesus can come back.
You wont get the right wing you want in Europe. You’ll have to take what you get. Antiochus tried to redact the Torah, but all he ended up with was yet another rebellion (this time successful) and Judaism. Best you could hope for, should Europe find some grit in its collective soul, is a Europe that doesn’t hassle Jews and Israel. Otherwise, Europeans will define themselves for themselves.
If Mr G is not the greatest columnist writing today, then i know not who is
Thank you, you’re too kind. There are many talented writers out there.
Thanks! Great article Daniel. I’ll have to read it a few more times to correctly understand and retain. I think I will sent it to my younger (Democrat) brother. I hope he will understand the leftist nature outlined here. Thanks again.
Thank you. We can but try.
Thank you Daniel for a marvelous article, and yes, their religion is at the end of the day about will to power, and even that will never be enough for them as it leads nowhere without God.
It’s the same old god-king folly except with the conviction that this time their theories have cracked the problem because “the science” is with them.
One important common thread in all the variants of the secular-new-age-jihadi-globalist-technocrat-fascist-satanist-Gaia-worship-Marxist-neoNazi-BLM-CRT-LGBTWTF
(did I forgot any?)
alliance is…
How they hate or fear strong Jews.
Namely the Torah-keepers and the Zionists.
Common roots are found in surprising places. Take the untiring Israel-bashing at the UN.
It’s an open secret that the guiding wisdom of the UN comes from Theosophist antisemite Alice A Bailey, who took dictation from a spirit guide. Look up the preface to the prizewinning World Core Curriculum, which the “UN philosopher” of 40 years, Theosophist Robert Muller, concocted for kiddie education worldwide.
Muller’s UN colleague, fellow Theosophist Maurice Strong, was to global environment what Muller was to global education. Strong was hailed by WEF’s Klaus Schwab as “my mentor”.
The WCC emphasizes the ‘oneness’ of the cosmos and the evils of separatism. “Come out and be separate” is of course GOD’s command to the Jews. Thus, whoever obeys that call commits the unforgivable new-age sin.
Bailey claimed that her ‘ascended master’ Djwahl Kuhl, aka the ‘Tibetan Teacher’, revealed to her that mankind cannot ascend to godhood until orthodox Judaism is eliminated from the world, and its evil influence is purged from Christianity.
She was also told that “The Jews” as a group are one of “four world problems”, obstacles that must be dissolved before the “new age” can commence. Their eons of bad racial karma are a dead weight on humanity. So even if individual Jews try to unite with the cosmos, at the most they can only pay back some of that karma, through self-sacrifice.
Well written. It’s just classic God vs. anti-God at this point.
Excellent essay, Daniel. Thank you.
Thank you, Mari.
And the arch-enablers are the econ-libs, claiming to be ‘conservative’ but who are really nothing but lieberaltarian atomistic utopians themselves…
The Neo-pagan Leftists in America will not harmlessly burn themselves out any more than did the Soviets or Pol Pot, or the the Chicoms, etc…..
Judeo-Christian foundations to society are exclusive and must be lived and exerted as such…. The fatal breakdown in American society is the false premise of emphatically agnostic-atheist government… The force of Neo-pagan Leftism will necessarily have to be countered directly with unambiguously greater force than the totality of force it embodies…
Judeo-Christianity versus paganism? Which pagans are you referring to? Not all pagans were the same. “Pagan” is a derogatory, bigoted, collectivist-tribal, term used by rabidly bigoted and collectivist-tribal Christians against non-Christians. Hypatia the Alexandrian philosopher, astronomer, mathematician, was lynched and dismembered by Christians for being a pagan and teaching pagan ideas.
Homer, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Euclid, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes, Herodotus, Thucydides, Archimedes, Pythagoras, Cicero, Epictetus, Seneca, Galen, were all considered pagans by the Christians and those pagans, and many others, are the bedrock of the rational and scientific beginnings and aspects of Western Civilization.
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are NOT Western, they are all Oriental religious cults that invaded the rational, scientific, secular, West. Christianity developed a sophisticated theology only by culturally appropriating the mystical philosophy of the pagan Plato.
Your florid ignorance apparently knows no bounds…
Lean forward a bit more, and squint harder into the darkness, perhaps you will be able to see the bottom of the well yet…
Your foundation and bedrock of the rational and scientific beginnings and aspects of Western Civilization crumbled like a cheap suit in the face of Christianity and were absorbed into what became Western Civilization. Without Christianity no would remember or care about the Greeks.
Sorry.
Good point Intrepid. I agree we mostly care about the Greeks, because to understand their language, and customs helps us Paul’s letters.
An excellent point. Thank you.
The left’s attitude towards Satan is part of all of this. While claiming not to believe in a literal Satan, they embrace the symbol as a sign of rebellion, mockery, anti-theism, and contempt for Christians and Christianity.
Funny the people who claim to worship science, reach backwards, and embrace ancient pagan, imagery.
Central Park in New York erected a statue to Che one of the worst men in the 20th Century anti-American and a mass murderer if anyone found that out they would drop the Che Statue into the Huson River and the deepest part to
There are several statues of Lenin in the US, one I believe still in New York. If anyone would read what that madman said, they would probably drop his statue into the Marianas Trench.
The Left is a Gnostic death cult.
….and Critical Theory is their bible.
—– “Abortion is sacred,” Planned Parenthood declared.
Hey! They stole that line from satan.
ahh yes , the robespierre left will eventually be victims of their own making . what they dish out to their enemies will in the end be their fate . it can’t come soon enough .
We might not be alive to see it, as the victims of the Jacobins did not live to see Robespierre mount the scaffold, but it will happen.
The last time I thought about a utopia was in high school English class. It was in literary thematic context along with man’s inhumanity to man, man against nature, the human condition and man’s
journey.
So talk of utopia in the adult real world is discordant. It’s immature. It plays to the lowest common denominator.
Utopia doesn’t deal with reality. It’s fiction. It doesn’t accept reality as real and it doesn’t try to lift the soul.
It’s detached from reality. Providing food, shelter, clothing. Protecting children, men, women, the elderly from abuse – This is helping reality be good for all.
A system, be it personal, political, societal or national, whose parts are not held together with true moral glue will fall apart. The divine ethic is the world’s super glue.
How much pure joy – I mean pure joy have you experienced? I
I have experienced probably about a minute and a half. The rest of my life has much kindness and happiness and love. Received and, I hope, given.
But beyond that almost impossible pure joy, and kindness, happiness and love, there is gratitude.
That is the feeling that intensifies the joy and kindness, happiness and love.
It’s what we feel when we are touched by the perfection of something beautiful.
If not to God, how should we express this gratitude?
Only God knows us from before we knew ourselves.
At the end of the day Thomas More’s title says it all “Utopia”. “U” is the Greek prefix for “null”, or “nonexistent”, and “topia” is “place”.
“It is a mistake to think of the Left as a secular movement. People don’t throw their lives away for a set of ideas.”
This is why the United States as a “propositional nation” is dangerous. Of course we are unique among nations because we have a birthday, but we cannot survive as a proposition. No one will sacrifice his blood, treasure or sacred honor to defend a proposition.
“If men can become women, then they can perhaps become more than men.”
Perhaps it is time to remind our spoiled little boys that they must become men in the first place. It seems as if the last men are dying off with the Greatest Generation.
The “religion” of the fake lefty Omar and TRashida is hate. They act as if they are liberal but are only to help real liberals to destroy the US in exchange of anti-Israel bigotry.
