The revolution against freedom, the rule of law, prosperity, civilization is a religious movement.
The name of the religion is Woke.
Could the very rich who unleashed it not see that they themselves would inevitably be victims of its injustice and impoverishment?
Victor Davis Hanson writes:
Woke is a religion, not an empirically based revolution. It requires blind faith and ideological zealotry that ignores data, smears apostates as blasphemers … uses public shaming, cancel culture, doxing, shadow banning, ostracism, and career destruction to bulldoze ahead.
That it is now mowing down its originators … should be teaching leftists that their ideology is unworkable and ultimately destructive of civilization. [But] history, after all, is replete with misguided zealots who even to the very first shot of their own firing squads still believed in the catastrophic cultural and political upheavals they had unleashed on others.
Those who seek to illegitimately gain power have always been around. It used to be rival kings beheading or poisoning their rivals.
When monarchy went out of style, they had to think up a new way to gain power, and Marxism appeared, going through various disguises but always with the same, predictable M.O. - dupe the people into thinking they’re victims, and you’re going to save them from oppression and give them power, if they just overthrow the existing order and put YOU in power!
America succeeded in vanquishing a monarchy, but now our enemies, who have been operating from within for decades, are using these methods of corruption and deception, and duping our own citizens into turning against our existing order of freedom, the rule of law, and prosperity.
