Cultural marxism at work

"Them damn hippies, they're all commies out to destroy America" was the cry at one time in America. Todays youth is involved in the social media that is very influential in their daily lives. Good or bad is yet to be determined but I am watching the young people demonstrating nationwide this Saturday morning and I am very proud of all of them unlike the ass kissing, lazy, self-serving politicians that make a career out of doing next to nothing that does not put money in their pockets. The concern the young people are showing is one for the country not just their own benefit. It is natural to feel uncomfortable with something new and different but all young people age and with age comes change in lifestyles as we all know. Being that this country was founded on slavery of black people, the genocide slaughter of the American Indian race and discrimination against women and children, we still remain the best country to live in but that is my opinion only.

When we get to that point we won't be fussing about Cultural Marxism, we've still got a long way to go!

Wonderful photo!

Reminds me of these lines from Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost.

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."

Thank you, Aunt Bea

Dealing with Cultural Marxism also involves a spiritual level. It's true that Christian values are under attack in the West but the problem isn't totally political, racial, or social....it's spiritual.

For example, sex before marriage was once an ideal but is now downplayed and immorality is now glorified. Maybe it's Cultural Marxism at work, but definitely Satan working in tandem with humanity’s sin nature. James 1:14 says, "But each person is tempted and enticed when lured by his own desires". It's a spiritual battle fought in the minds and hearts of individuals.

Ephesians 6:12 says, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."

 
Let's face it: there are people in the world who are "glass is half empty" who have been rendered unable to enjoy life under any circumstances. They don't see glorious sunsets, or glorious views of nature - or enjoy a cuddly kitten and/or puppy - or anything with a positive aura - and the world is full of positive, beautiful things to enjoy if one is willing. They concentrate on the negative instead of the positive. In it's own way, it's a form of mental illness.

Yes, I that's true. Then there are people who don't see anything, except what they want to see. We call them ostriches.

I say to the ostriches, do your homework and look up WHO is doing almost all of the school shootings --- millennials.

(The millennials are those who were born between the early 1980's and the 1990's)

The Parkland High school killer was of course not technically a millennial, but he sure was infected by the millennials. He learned from them and then copy-catted their actions.

But, the main point here is that there is something VERY WRONG with our society. And, it's getting worse not better.

My friend, I see you are feeling really down. I do too often. I cling to the idea that one day things will be better. I can do nothing to "cure" you but I can ask you to try harder to live happier. I understand pain, but I know that we can not give into it and allow negativity to steal our quality of life too. TRY... I am asking that!!
 
All the things you say are "wrong" with our society have been "wrong" with almost any society since the beginning of "society", but there have been many improvement along the way - and,of course, some missteps. I don't think there are many women or minorities who would want to revert back in time. The "good old days" weren't all that good for most of us.

Absolutely. My grandmother lost her first husband to diabetes while still in her teens, she lost a premature baby at three days old because a nurse bathed him. Her sister was murdered by an abusive husband, lack of forensics meant it was hushed up very tidily. Her sister didn’t leave her husband and return to her family because her husband would have retained custody of their children.
 
You're entitled to your opinion of the glass half empty. Just as the rest of us are entitled to see the glass half full.

Thanks, but I prefer to live in a world where people are free to marry whom they choose, and can look different than you or me without being vilified for it.

I live in the SF Bay Area. The black-clad anarchists are in fact a very small # of people, and are no different than the anarchists of the 1920's, or any other time. There are always such people, but they are not and never have been, the norm. I have friends who have organized protests and been horrified when those peaceful protests were taken over by people we all consider punks. Most of the time they don't even live in the city in which they are trying to trash.

Like Abbie Hoffman, most people grow out of teenage and young adult nonsense. If you never made any mistakes, how would you learn? And judging people by the way they look - I'd really like to think we're better and wiser people than that.
 
More often than not, history clearly illustrates that the greatest impediment to positive change is not the anger fueled reactions of a few, but the apathy of the many. Pharisee Syndrome is deadly.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The American Revolution was inspired by some very angry men. And the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution as well . In fact, all revolutions that I am aware of came about because men where fed up with the status quo. Talk about anger ? The Iranian Revolution of the late 1970's was fueled by extreme anger.

Of course, if you are saying that those who disagree with me are "Christ-like" (The Pharisee Syndrome), then that is a horse of a different color.

If so, I think that is kind of funny . Jesus said "Love your enemies". Feminists (Christ-like?) hate men with a purple rage and never miss an opportunity to emasculate men or to blame men for all woman's problems.

Yes, yes, I know. Nobody here, ever heard of, or knows of, any feminist like that.
There are some people here who think I hate women. That's untrue. All I am doing is calling attention to all the feminist hatred of men. If you want to see some REAL hatred, go and check out some of the "Red Pill" sites.

My previous statement does not disagree with you. I referenced the social cancers of complacency/indifference/ compliance as deadly obstructions to positive change, not revolutionary zeal.

Excellent! Then we have no problem, for all I am doing is calling attention to the complacency, indifference, and compliance to a few of society's ills.

The Pharisee syndrome has nothing to do with being Christ-like. The Pharisee syndrome refers to those who are busily looking down their noses at those who are not as "good" as the Pharisee thinks himself to be. While the Pharisees were loudly decrying harlots and tax collectors and others the Pharisees considered the dregs of humanity, Christ was including said dregs in his ministry.

While the Pharisee is loudly pronouncing "Thank God I am not bad like they are," the follower of Christ is recognizing the humanity of all and showing them acceptance and compassion.

The Pharisee is no better than those he so loudly condemns, and in many ways is worse.

My, how this post has grown since I first read it. I was responding to the original paragraph. As for my Pharisee analogy, Butterfly has the right of it. By the way, this feminist does not hate men with a rage of any colour. You may focus on whatever you wish, but my statements were not concerned with feminism. I serve humanity as a whole, not disparate parts. Propelled by compassion, I seek to hold a candle for any struggling souls who require it. It is my vocation.
 
Traveler ,about your constantly repeated, and totally ridiculous, equation of feminism and hating men, this definition of "straw man" from Wikipedia says it all:

A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy​
based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent.


One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".​

I know full well what a "straw man" is. You repeatedly post extremely condescending posts about me. I wish you would stop it. How would you like it if I kept posting snide remarks about you ? I also wish that you would learn how to argue without resorting to Ad Hominem.

It is possible, I suppose, that where YOU live, all of the feminists are saints who go out of their way to be kind to men. BUT, where I live, and have lived, the feminists are some of the nastiest, most vile people on the face of the earth.
