Spend enough time staring into the abyss toward which the Left is hurtling us, and you eventually notice that political ideology is just a thin layer of scum coating the surface.
Politics is, after all, the art of properly organizing society toward the greatest good for the most people. It’s a strictly practical matter.
But listen to the Left long enough, and you realize that they never speak in practical terms. Their pitch is never, “Let’s marshal these resources in this way to solve that real problem.”
Instead, the Left always and everywhere speaks in strictly moral terms. To the extent that they express any concern for practical issues like pollution or poverty, the material problem is always ancillary to some moral panic.
To them, poverty is bad–not because people are hungry or homeless–but because they believe that poverty is a symptom of systemic social inequality between the majority and various sacred victim groups. The same goes for crime, education, and even healthcare.
Politics is just one tool the Left uses to advance its moral vision for the world. And an organization whose main purpose is spreading a particular moral vision based on a specific cosmology is called a religion.
When that religion’s fervent aim is destroying the cultural bonds that hold civilization together, you call it what it is–a Death Cult.
Conservatives have missed this for years. They’ve stubbornly restricted their criticism of the Death Cult to the political realm. This fetish for practicality is why Conservatives disregard art, among other culture war fronts, and why the Cult runs rings around them.
Leading Hispanic author Jon Del Arroz and I discussed this and other subjects cultural, spiritual, and literary on his stream last night. It was a rousing conversation that’s well worth your time.
Watch it here:
The Death Cult hates you. Stop giving them money. My new best selling new book shows you how.
