Watching the bizarre scenes from the various campus “protests,” I thought, what a strange point in American history. America conquers the world and then tries to swallow the world. But in the process, loses its soul. Or maybe its identity. Or more exactly its elites try to cast off the European based identity of the western world in order to fool the world into thinking the West equals the world. And maybe it’s a brilliant ploy that would cement the entire world into eternal subservience to the elites.
But it also means that we, the regular people, become no one. The New Testament (Mark 8:36) says, “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” And we’re not even the ones gaining the whole world. We’re just losing the little bit we had.
These geniuses who run everything. These billionaires playing ten-dimensional chess with artificial intelligence; pulverizing and homogenizing all the human bits of the world into a gray paste that they can sell back to us in a plastic bottle; have it all figured out. TikTok is the new rock and roll. They hypnotize the kids by selling them this vapid product by the minute or the fifteen second, whatever happens to be the attention span they’ve reduced their audience to.
And this is nothing completely new. The mass culture has been selling this since the invention of the phonograph and the motion picture. What’s new has been the removal of anything resembling the original American or even Western culture. What’s left is pathetic. Childish at best. More like infantile. Dysfunctional and ranging into deviance in multiple directions. It’s as if the intention is to divert a whole generation into a dead end where they will be dependent on the government to keep them alive but completely helpless.
And I think they’ve been successful. Most of the next generation are doomed to a marginal existence that will not include marriage, home ownership or children. They are a termination.
So, the important question is how to pluck your own family and friends out of this dead end and put them on the path to life? I guess you have to do it every day. You have to preach the good word of normalcy. Tell the kids that the real secret of life is to make yourself a useful, capable human being and then find a mate and build a family. And try to encourage them to strive for the things that are hard to do. And by all means provide moral and financial support and advice when you think you have information that they lack.
Watching those morons on the campuses act out their Che Guevera pantomime has been a fascinating reminder that since the Occupy Wall Street movement back in the Obama era we have been watching a lost generation demanding that the government pick them up off the playground floor and give them their pudding cup to soothe them for being complete losers. They want Communism not because they think it’s just but because they’re too lazy and stupid to even try to live.
The red states are going to have to cut off welfare to the useless so that these people will retreat to the blue states where they can be stacked up in two by six cubicles, fed their daily ration of crickets and narcotized with porn and pot as they await the blessed release of death. All of these people will have to be swept away. They don’t want to live. They just want to be plugged into their matrix.
There’s no way to keep this absurd thing going. There has got to be a reckoning.
