Dispensing with our naïvety:
Before we even begin to look at what constitutes naïve belief, we must first agree on using language which may accurately define it. It is the “it” of a thing which is under attack today. Due to the Postmodernism of Derrida and Foucault a form of literary criticism is now widely being accepted which places value on what we name a thing as opposed to what it actually is. This is what I refer to as the “it” of a thing. Postmodernists are renaming reality based upon how they subjectively feel about it. Which is why transitioning to the opposite sex has gained so much attention to the point where government both federally and provincially allow for self identification on official documents apart from physical reality. This constitutes the thinking of a 4-year-old who defines himself as a pirate one moment and a superhero the next, or a little girl of similar age who may role play being a doctor at one moment, then being the patient the next, or even a backhoe operator if she happens to be a male lesbian like me. Do you see how I snuck that in? Of course, when children do this, we find it charming and play along, but when adults do it, it indicates a delusional detachment from reality. Such games we must refuse to play.
“Don’t let us forget that the causes of human actions are
usually immeasurably more complex and varied than our subsequent explanations
of them.” ~ Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Idiot
“Dostoevsky,the only psychologist from whom I've anything to learn.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
The truth is often a terrible bitter pill to swallow, but the hideous lies which invariably hide in the shadows of its absence are far more insidious! So let us forge ahead and clarify how we can identify the nature of our government stripped of all its false moralizing and promises of a future sustainable and equitable world. A world absent of the personal autonomy, workable energy policies, and economic prosperity which would allow us to focus on more than just putting food on the table and keeping a roof over our heads. For it is the most prosperous societies which invariably care for the environment most effectively while providing maximum opportunity for the dispossessed.
“It is better to be unhappy and know the worst, than to be happy in a fool's paradise.” ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Idiot
Secular man has an odd idea about religious concepts such as idolatry in large part to the fact we fail to appreciate the incredible metaphorical significance of the Bible. It is most likely that we think of idolatry referring to creating a graven image and then worshipping that physical image. But let’s take a closer look at the metaphor.
“To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing is good... Ideology - that is what gives devildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes, so that he won't hear reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors.” ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Is it not idolatry to create a system which denies the Divine nature of man by subjugating him to slavery so false that it literally manifests itself as the opposite of what the name socialism implies? Socialism does not create a socially connected and fulfilled society for the very reason that it denies man his Divine freedom. The highest pursuit of man is to know and grow in Divine awareness of God. Socialism replaces God with an all-powerful idolatrous state. It posits the collective good as the highest ontological achievement while denying the autonomy of the individual. No society can care for the many if it fails to recognize the rights of the individual. This creates an uniterable game which must be forced upon us since this game isn’t played by choice. And the game played by choice invariably outperforms any game played under coercion.
So, how far along the road to tyranny has our government
travelled?
Let us compare the following characteristics which are
inherent to the major branches of social collectivism to our own system of
governance:
Fascism, Nazism, Democratic Socialism, and Communism are all based upon identity politics. All use some perverse version of victim versus victimizer narrative. All have state-controlled economies and/or state-owned industries. All feature some measure of central economic planning. All have state run and funded healthcare. All use state run education and media to control the officially sanctioned narrative to create cultural conformity. All silence political dissent both covertly and overtly. All are enemies of individuality and personal autonomy. All will attempt to mischaracterize and/or ruin you if you expose the lies upon which these toxic political ideologies are founded. The central theme to all of these variants of social collectivism is the belief that life is a zero-sum game where power is the dominant motivating factor in human interaction. Since they all share this delusion, it is unsurprising they all share a pathological need to control.
I implore you to let this comparison to where we are today to serve as a warning. If you believe in personal autonomy, the solution to tyranny resides in you, indeed in each of us, to refuse to participate in the lies that these systems require for them to exist. Refuse to fan the flames of narcissistic supply social collectivism requires to enslave the minds of your fellows!
The great Twitter irony is that a platform which so lends
itself to ridicule and the ridiculous, a place where aspersions are so easily
cast and valid arguments so readily downplayed, that despite this, #TrudeauMustGo
was trending number one in Canadian content the other day after the Neo-Marxist
leader of ours was recorded drunkenly singing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen at a Karaoke
Bar in London while there for Her Majesty’s funeral. Trudeau is a tone deaf,
narcissistic clown who is completely out of touch with the “it” of a thing. Mr.
Trudeau, Canadians aren’t about to consult some yet to be written Postmodern
dictionary which can define the level of your sheer narcissistic hubris and the
vitriolic contempt that you so obviously hold for those you were elected to
serve. #TrudeauMustGo indeed, I am hopeful that my fellow Canadians are no
longer willing to worship at the idol of statism. Trudeau’s failing Big
Government policies have, as social collectivist experiments always do, had
the opposite result of his much-lauded claims of creating utopia. Claims which
have gone up in the smoke of inflation, fiduciary malfeasance, unworkable
energy policies, printing money out of thin air, while simultaneously demanding
we use impossible pronouns which ignore the ”it” of a thing. Trudeau, your it is up!
Trudeau is both a child and a marxist. I dont know what is worse for a man of his age. His behaviour and the way he speaks to children is disgusting
