Vision

Do we all want to worship as one people at one altar to one idea–think some ugly edifice along the lines of Nuremburg which is a distillation of everything bad all totalitarians ever have created, with a single or small number of triumphant men and/or women atop it–or do we want to gather at countless fires around the world, to seek shelter from the cold and darkness of life, in small groups where we can see everyone, and they can see us?

I see the altar.  I see the fires.

What I think the “diversity” people don’t GET is that the leaders want to destroy all distinctions, and all barriers between the individual conscience–or lack thereof–and state power.

Right now, destroying the notion of gender differences feels radical.  It feels chic.  It feels transformative, new, rebellious. 

But biologically, I don’t think the human species can be happy, can thrive like that.  These people want to destroy all religions, all tribes, all creeds but their own, all sensitivity to or pride in ethnic or national heritage.  They want to destroy EVERYTHING which anyone can cling to and say “this makes me me”.

They want, in other words, to induce and harness mass psychosis, as they have done on very large scales a number of times now in the past century, but on a global scale.  This is what I see.

I think Burning Man is going on now.  Around now.  I have not been there, and will likely never go there, but I have to think some of the best times are had in small groups around fires (or some functional equivalent) in the dark of the night.

Think of deep conversations you’ve had late at night, perhaps with a few drinks in you, or perhaps some weed.  All of this will vanish, disappear, if certain people who hold places of high power even now get their way.  They won’t SAY that.  They may not even be thinking that, but history is clear that if they don’t get immediate compliance with radical and ludicrous demands, the violence starts nearly immediately.

We live in a nearly perfect surveillance state now.  If they care, the NSA knows if most of us snore.  Imagine if the government pursued the thing to it’s logical end systematically.  Implanted cell phones would most likely do it.  Something you can’t turn off and can’t remove.  That technology is here today.

I continue to wonder at how blindly so many freedom loving people follow the lunatics on the Left.  I don’t think they get that those people may have room for them now, but that won’t last forever.  It never does.  Once in power, privilege is quickly removed from circulation and left for all but the most connected.  In other words, some concoction is brewed which contains the worst elements of theocracy, aristocracy, monarchy, and even abusive capitalism.

What I work for is the fires.  There is a different conversation around every one.  Differing conclusions are reached around every one.  The fires go out in the night at different times, and some burn all night.  This is civilization.  This is the dignity of humankind.
