“Assassination culture”? Is this how you normalize and collectivize sociopathy? I guess if there’s rape culture (another term that never made much sense to me), there can be assassination culture, terrorism culture, self-mutilation culture…
I have to assume that the people who partake in this stuff are either paid to do it or are in an incredibly dark place psychologically. Either way, there’s little common ground for a decent person to traverse and empathize in some way.
It’s all just irrational and destructive. Legal repercussions have to happen and we need to push more aggressively when we see this stuff. Why doesn’t anyone intervene?
And a religion of the worst kind. I associate it with tyrannical communism. The people who resort to this type of dangerous dishonest and criminal behavior are the ones who create the mass genocides and other historical horrors of this world. They are attempting to overthrow both democracy and this country - and they should be treated as such. I have nothing but distain for those who even support his behavior.
Wokeism. When I heard many years ago that it was permissible for someone to be given absolution for any act if it’s for the “moral” good of defeating Trump, a student of human behavior would see this as a societal disruption of the moral compass. Anyone subscribing to this, because of human nature, can rarely find their way back to a proper moral code because they continue to find new reasons to stay where they are at or go even further into escalating criminal behavior. Hedonism Or the historical “Roman Mob” never end well for anyone. A mob leader one day giving permission to do something is replaced by another leader the next day until it descends into constant chaos where everyone loses. Great Article!
There has always been a religious dimension to political ideologies, especially those of an extreme nature. From the moment it was proclaimed by Marx and Engels in 1848, communism, which appeared to have a protean ability to “explain” the past, failed to see any of its predictions about the future come to pass. It thus quickly morphed into an evangelical religion.
All the offshoots and variations of the totalitarian isms have this in common: the erasure of the individual as the political agent and its replacement by the ideology and its clergy. And, there is no salvation outside of the church. Heresies must be eradicated by sword and fire.
The inevitable results have been mountains of corpses, endless oppression, and suffering.
The financial shenanigans the current administration has uncovered are nothing more than a plot by the left to create a secular established church. Western Civilization stands on the brink of a new era of religious wars.
