Within the past two years we have all seen the world change in many ways. We have come together in a worldwide pandemic; we have truly been in this together. People came together to support each other when we didn’t have all the answers quite yet as to how dangerous this new virus would be; many on the front lines gave up their lives to save lives.
People shared their money, their, food, and even their toilet paper. Little did we know that we would soon be divided; it seems intentional. There appears to be a sinister quest to pull away at the very fabric of patriotism, family, morality, and ethics.
The rioting and looting began… then cancel culture stepped in to put the cherry on top of all of the social chaos. It seemed what was to be a proclamation of “change” and “awareness” regarding race matters turned into exploitation. It wasn’t really about George Floyd or any of the other people who died in conflict with the police; it’s about politics, furthering progressive thought, and propaganda for socialism. The left and progressives seem to be using all the anger, resentment, and hatred to fuel their own agenda. We are living in a time in America that is truly anti-God, anti-Christian, anti-law and order and even anti-American; many of us are being fooled into thinking equality is the main goal. It really isn’t. We are turning into a country where it is acceptable for mobs to rule and acceptable to be contradictory and irrational all under the umbrella of free speech and fights for injustice.
Is cancel culture and the so-called liberals speaking for all minorities now? I honestly can see waving a confederate flag on your front lawn being offensive to some; but, defacing and digging up statues that come from America’s history or being rid of movies such as “Gone With the Wind” is completely ridiculous. Society is perpetuating a deranged sensitivity towards offending others without a care for its side effects.
In Saul D. Alinskey’s book Rules for Radicals, the humanistic mantra throughout the text is a theme park of notions concerning the path to organizing revolutions so that the “Have-nots” can conquer over the “Haves” in society– the elite or bourgeoise. What is objective and traditional is deemed as “dogmatic” and rooted in wishful thinking. For Alinsky, life is full of dualities; for every revolution is a counter-revolution. There is not one approach to social phenomena. To view life through these contradictions paves the way for “actual harmony of nature” ( 1989, p.16). This view, according to Alinsky, also “frees one from the myth that one approach is positive and another negative. There is no such thing in life. One man’s positive is another man’s negative” (p.17). It is political illiteracy to try to call any approach to politics “positive” or “negative” (p. 17). Alinsky, and many others who claim to be social activists, thrives on social issues and uses “irrationality in his attempts to progress towards a rational world” (p. 76). This new world and system being created is void of traditions and notions of an immutable Creator; it is creation that is the “very essence of the meaning of life” (p. 80). This humanistic foundation for world change is the very source of the evils replicated within such ideologies. God, as the final authority is removed and replaced with movements of self interests that do little for society as a whole and only distracts from objective truth and reason.
Godless culture is dividing America in two–the rational and the irrational; except, the irrational are applauded and considered “openminded” and the rational are the bigots.
