People talk about aliens visiting our species. Let's get real, there is nothing they could possibly learn from us. We all know it. If you have the mental capacity to post on this forum then you are wise enough to know it's true.
It is very disheartening today hearing and reading news stories. Everything is combative. If someone is killed in an accident the first thing the media does is to start debating who is at fault, before all the facts are known. And this is but one example of many of how it feels like the media is attempting to manipulate. It is all the vitriol and anger that depresses me. Anger is, of course, an emotional response. It cannot be reasoned with. Therefore, if some manipulative entity (MSM, Democrats, etc...) wants to get hold of some people, then they first convinced them that they are being victimized at the hands of another, that the Dems are trying to help them (in reality, they almost never are), and keep the marks in a perpetual state of anger so that they are easy to manipulate and control. Dems work with feelings and emotions, not logic. It has been this way my entire life. If you keep them all in a towering emotional hell, then it is virtually impossible to get them to see alternative viewpoints. Hell, I do not even necessarily want everyone to think like me. I just want opponents to at the very least acknowledge that their perceived adversaries have rational positions and are not hateful devils.
Then there is all this sick shit with pedos and trannies, and teaching false history to children in government schools, and generally driving a wedge between parent and child. What I make of this is that there appears to be, by design, a clear effort to disrupt normal American society and undermine its institutions and traditions; to rot us out from the inside. This is "transformative politics". It is "fundamental change". I then go a step farther and accuse neo-Marxist interests in pursuing this destructive course of action, which is manifested in in policies like tranny/homo stuff, re-writing history, social justice efforts (i.e., re-distributive policy) based on false realities; defund the police, out of control gov spending, anti-Christian efforts, militant pro-abortion, etc...
The problem I encounter with this analysis is that there does not seem to be a centralized neo-Marxist organization or entity that can be blamed for this anti-American effort. Rather, if it exists (and I think it does), then it exists in a decentralized form, the same way Islamic terrorist cells operate. With terrorism, it is hard to fight the enemy because there is almost always no country to invade and defeat. There is no frontline. It has a strong decentralized element and exists more of a network across national borders. Jihad is a national identity of these people, but they operate on a intercontinental basis.
Likewise, the neo-Marxist enemy fires these missiles at our republic in the form of one of their many wacky initiatives. But instead of fighting the people firing the missiles at us, we busy ourselves with trying to correct the damage caused by those missiles. We need to be hitting the enemy directly, and it is poison leftist ideology. But who, exactly, do we fight? As I said, there is no conspicuous target. There is George Soros, of course. But he is not numero uno. Frankly, I do not think there is a numero uno. There is no man behind the curtain. Rather, there is an ideology that spawns slimy monsters like Soros and others. Therefore, we must attack the ideology. It is not too hard to connect all the leftist-prog nonsense to Marxist underpinnings. It is all there. For this reason it would behoove everybody to brush up on Marx and Engels, Saul Alinsky, and other malignant enemies of freedom. You need to understand the enemy in order to effectively fight him.
