Plenty of cults exist - every cult has its 'religious dogma', its idols, its 'prophets', its 'science', its 'proof' and its intolerant liturgy of demands. Cults everywhere: Corona, 'The Science' or Scientism, Islam, the State, the cult of Gender Fascism, Marxism, Darwin and Evolution, Globaloneywarming, Changing Climate, Abortion...
Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Time Flies Remember Death
Buying votes. Appearing sensitive. Understanding ‘root causes’. Always ‘deeply concerned’. Supportive of cultural ‘relativity’. Active in enhancing state power. Addicted to spending more money. Increasing taxation to ensure ‘fairness’. Rejecting Western traditions. These are the ‘values’ that underlie modern day populism as expressed by all major political parties in the post-reality Western nation state. These are of course cultural Marxist concepts that if left unchecked, will destroy Western nation states.
The absurdity of cultural Marxism can be illustrated in many ways. Education, the media, entertainment, the rewriting of history, unfettered non-Western immigration and the pathological hatred of the Western tradition including its Judeo-Christian roots, is endemic in the West outside of the US. Even inside the US the brain-washing of youth, the imposition of immoral relativity and low standards in TV, music and Hollywood, and the constant populism emanating from cultural Marxist political warriors has deeply warped the US psyche and forced the US into a severe leftwards drift that threatens its very existence as a nation state. Outside of America the advance of cultural Marxism is even more profound. [see Sartre, Foucault, Hobsbawm etc].
Consider the nuttiness of this idea. You have a state but in good cultural Marxist fashion you need to reject the 3000-year Western cultural heritage. Thus, you demand the equal importance of all ‘cultures’. This is cultural relativity. Just to make sure that no-one gets left out you need to highlight various ‘communities’, within these distinct cultures or ‘nations’, within some political and economic construct called the ‘state’. This is the multi-cultural Marxist mantra of relativity taken to extremes. It is foolish and dangerous.
In order to demolish the Western nation state cultural Marxists need to eradicate the Judeo-Christian ideals and philosophies from existence, and divorce current and future populations from their past heritage. Therefore, in Canada or in Europe the once majoritarian culture is now nothing more than just another expression of reality. These successful nations have a culture that is no better than say Islamic culture, or the various Asian, African or Latin expressions of reality. The fact that the Western European model of development is the most moral and successful in mankind is rewritten by the cultural Marxist fetishists as nothing more than a catalogue of rape, racism, plunder and criminality.
Buying votes also mandates the division of society into little cultural Marxist groups. Want the Chinese vote? Pander to the Chinese community within the nation citing supposed grievances, racism, intolerance and other victimology claims. Need that French vote? Satisfy and emulsify their emotional immaturity and swaggering arrogance with references to cultural superiority and uniqueness. Need some Muslim money? Cry that Islam is peaceful, and more mosques are needed so we become accepting of Islam’s wonderful civilization.
Thus the idea that we only have ‘ethnic communities’, within racially defined ‘nations’, inside of something called a ‘state’ takes ferverish hold of the cultural Marxist and vote buying elite. What better way to rewrite history then to ignore it and embrace the relativity model that all blood lines, races, ethnicities are actually nations within a larger group? If that is true then the nation does not exist – it is just a state controlled empire. But destroying a successful history, culture and heritage is unimportant when faced with buying votes and appearing sensitive and culturally hip.
So you have ‘conservatives’ droning on about the ‘Quebecer’ nation within a nation. What next? Will there be a Hindu nation of Canada? Or a Portugese one? How about mixed bloodlines? Are you still part of the Quebecer ‘nation’ if you part French and part something else? Will we have a genetics police investigating bloodlines? What does the word ‘nation’ mean exactly? Will the Quebecers or the Hindus or the Chinese now have special rights, privileges legal or otherwise to form or enhance their ‘nation’? If not then why call them a ‘nation’?
In Western nation states the elevation of cultural Marxism and the multi-cult club makes the above questions relevant. Quebecers are certainly asking these questions in Canada. "The mere symbolic aspect, maybe it's a feel-good factor for the immediate future, but it's not going to last for long if it's not accompanied by anything concrete," said Pierre Martin, a professor of political science at Universite de Montreal. No kidding. "It's going to be interpreted as something that has to mean something. It's going to be interpreted as something that has to lead to some sort of consolidation of powers or jurisdictions. ... If that is considered the end of the road for the Conservatives, it in fact may be considered just the beginning for some people in Quebec." So says a former Quebecer separatist politician. In other words – thanks for denoting us a nation – now give us the power to be one. So when will the 5 million Moslems in Canada (Quebec has 7 millions), ask for status as a ‘people’ and a state within a state (the Umma)?
The ugliness of race-based sociology, or ethnic-tribal ‘reality’ in politics is evident across the world and inevitably leads to death or at the very least the dismemberment of the state. The unnatural Hapsburg empire, the first tottering postmodern state, was consumed by high spending, exorbitant taxation and the political recognition of its sociological reality. It was a disaster that shattered into many smaller ethnically divided states. This is one outcome of cultural Marxism. Another likely outcome is that to keep the unnatural ‘community of nations within the greater state’ together, politicians will bribe, spend more money and raise more taxes to keep the social peace. Cultural Marxism thus leads to statism and more government power.
But this is what the cultural Marxist elite wants – more power. By dividing up a state into little groups they disperse opposition, ensure infighting between various elements and consolidate power. It is an old trick. It is however pathetic that ‘conservative’ politicians engage in such mindless anti-historical, and contra-Western practices.
Scientism, in which all principles that are deemed 'scientific' are venerated as gospel, and are marketed as obvious and ineffable verities, is of course a not-so-modern cult. The cult of the state long predates that of Sargon the Great, the first multi-national builder of empires. Sargon was just a better propagandit than his predecessorss.
Today the same processes are at work, which established the intolerance of say the ancient Akkadian, Assyrian or Egyptian states. Today we daily witness an endless stream of activists, charlatans [politicians], frauds [state funded scientists] and Marxists [most of the voting population], who label themselves as 'rational', 'objective', or worse 'scientific' when the opposite labels would apply.
There is nothing scientific or rational about dialectical Marxism and unfettered state power; or the love-and-compassionate-Socialism bandied by politicians and civil servants [with its fraudulent lies about poverty, capitalism, or how civilization was built]. There is nothing but hypocrisy in the cults of moral relativity, Islam is Peace, gay-sex-is-fun and heterosexuals are stupid; or the cult of the multi-cult, in which nothing is good or bad, and all historical experiences 'the same', with the exception of the Western experience which is very, very bad indeed. [Sargon's victory stele]
Where does the madness of the modern set of cults lead to ? Destruction. Great empires in times past collapsed due to the bankruptcy of the state, resplendently offered in the insolvency of finance, ideas, culture and the derivatives associated with merging the church [of socialism, the multi-cult, activism] with the state to deny free-will, individualism, and freedom, to both succeed and fail. Islam is a notable cult failure due to many reasons, not the least of which is the merger of the church with the state and the disavowal of free-will and individual human worth [only the Allah thing has free-will and worth, you must simply submit to it].
Modern state-funded cults imitate the incoherence, intolerance and dysfunctional nature of Islam. Criticize the cult of warm and you will be branded. Object to gay marriage and you are slandered. Defend wealth and job creation and you are a heartless Hitlerite [the cult of Hitler was of course a national-socialist pagan cult, which destroyed civil society, the church, the individual, and which controlled all aspects of life, including the creation and support of 'green technology].
Pronounce against anything 'green' and you desire the liquidation of the earth mother. Propose market based solutions for health and education, and you slaver for the annihilation of the children's future, and that all the sick and wounded would immediately perish [irony: socialized health care kills thousands each year due to waiting lists and lack of access....]. Disagree with the ponzi plundering to fund old age pensions and you of course want every single aged person to eat dog food and die at age 65. Such claims are deemed 'moderate' and 'nuanced' by the media and deeply intelligent by most university profs.
Culture is King and that is the first to fall. From reading books to American Idol and the incorruptible stupidity of modern entertainment is an example of cultural destruction. It does not take long to become a largely gamma-wave resistant society. So much easier to indoctrinate if the mental processes approach that of sleeping or unconsciousness. Eviscerating knowledge and substituting mindless, somnolent mental non-exercise, is one clear path to control.
Keep the masses busy with their mindless entertainment, while the cults are created step by painful step. Regulate, tax, control, propagandize. Target the children. The Nazi and Soviet socialist cults were exceptional at doing this.
A Nazi 'childrens' story about the Fox [the Jew] and why Germans [today substitute Arab, Moslem], must hate the Jew:
|
Look, children, and the two compare,
|
|
Or 'the child with Lenin'. The friendly 'father' Lenin, happy with his disciple, the eager Soviet student.
Apologists for both the socialist cult of the German Nazi state; and that of the Russian communal utopia, would declare that such propaganda was entirely 'scientific', founded upon 'consensus' and irreducible in its historical veracity. Of course the Jew was a monkey [read the Koran]. Of course the Soviet student must support the supremacist cult of Father Vlad. Of course the state is loving and caring. Of course there is 'warming'.
Of course the rich need to plundered, if not killed. Of course the Jew is the problem in the Middle East, not the Arab or Moslem. Of course the United Nations is an objective, fair group of angels playing harps. Of course the human is a virus and a disease. Of course abortion is a female 'right'. Of course socialized health care is a general right [except for murdered fetuses]. Of course gay-sex is 'gene induced'. Of course climate has never changed. Of course natural selection and Darwinism are facts [they are still just theories without proof].
On and on it goes with the modern cults. Socialist scientism, the cult of warm, the cult of Darwin, and the cult of the multicultural declaim today the same verities as their progenitors in Germany and Russia.
Real science only arose in one place at one time, namely in Christian Europe. It never arose in any other spatial or geographic setting. That alone tells us something. Egypt, China, the various Islamic states and empires, India, ancient Greece and Rome - all these had their pre-scientific and pre-Christian inventions, creations and insights. Alchemy, astrology, and aspects of math, engineering and logic all find their places in various ancient empires. But none of them produced the modern world. That single fact makes it clear that far from hindering secular rationality, Christianity must have promoted it.
As the prominent early 20th century mathematician and philosopher Alfred Whitehead suggested; science arose in Europe because of the: “faith in the possibility of science....derivative from medieval theology.” It was only in Europe that we have the “.....medieval insistence on the rationality of God, conceived as with the personal energy of Jehovah and with the rationality of a Greek philosopher.” Whitehead is perfectly correct. Christianity must have been a key component in the creation of science.
In reading about the badly named 'middle ages', it is clear that the Christian world was not a monolithic Catholic barbarity fighting against reason. The opposite was true. In fact, it is clear that Christianity was certainly responsible for Europe's ascension to science and rationality. We know this must be a valid thesis because non-Christian states and empires did not produce the modern world. In fact they never came close. In general, we can forward a universal law which would withstand any serious scrutiny and state that non-Christian theologies militate and obstruct against the development of reason and science.
There are many reasons why non-Christian philosophies are so primitive. Most non-Christian belief systems are circular and irrational. Their Gods are impersonal and not prone to reason. The universe is considered to be one large mystery, and inner peace and self-worth can only be achieved through meditation and mystical insights. Reason is not celebrated. Neither is individualism.
Centuries of meditation and platitudes about brotherly love and accepting one's 'fate' in life; does not produce science. Christian theology is different in that the various schisms, sects and debates within the Christian universe, led to, and reinforced, the nascent European propensity for rational inquiry. Some of the best minds that the human species has produced knew that scientific truth was a pursuit of creation. Newton, Kepler, Galileo, and Descartes all justified their search for natural laws and natural-scientific truth, on the basis that a perfect God would want man to understand the perfect world of reality. This cultural innovation, premised on the non-mystical Christian ideology, was instrumental to establish rational enlightenment.
Non-Christian philosophies are thus not only mystical systems of irrationality piety, but also ortho-praxy belief systems, or 'correct practices'. Christianity is ortho-dox, or a system of 'correct thinking'. Islam is the the ultimate expression of orthopraxy submission. The entire edifice of Islamic 'thought' is simply to impose 'correct practices' and make sure that people follow these rituals.
For Muslims, the Koran is the word of a supposed 'God' who is in fact Ali-ilah or the male Meccan moon deity. Allah is as far removed from the Christian ideal of God, as Taoism is from the Christian ideal of non-mystical, rationality. Islam does not encourage investigation or truth-seeking. It is a system of conformity, intent on social management, and the expansion of the cult at the expense of the 'other'. In such a mind-set orthopraxy is mandatory. Rationality would only lead to fragmentation and disputation and distract the 'group' from the main task at hand, namely; universalist supremacy and control.
Islam also mistakenly accepted in-toto, the elements of Greek thought and accepted them as 'facts' which could not be improved. This is a decidedly Muslim cultural attribute. Once something like the Koran, or the terrible philosophies of Plato; or the mystical explanations of Aristotle, are accepted as 'truth', the Muslim carefully stores them away and pronounces them ineffable and irrefutable. The rest of the cult are told to worship these 'self-evident' verities and simply submit to them. No inquiry is allowed. Islam is the opposite of a system of individualized, free-will and rational investigation. It is a system of obedience and acceptance. In Western Christian states, the ancient Greeks were held up to investigation, ridicule, enhancement and all manner of change and re-shaping. None of the ancient thinkers and scribes were accepted as omniscient.
After the replacement of Rome by the three main Germanic Kingdoms, we are told that Europe entered a 'Dark Age'. This is of course a dark lie. Europe never 'lost' ancient thinking and Roman-Greek literature and philosophies. Roads, cities, and trade caravans did not instantly plunge into the abyss during 476 A.D. What post Roman Europe did reject over time was the Greco-Romano belief system that history was circular; reason subordinate to the whims and fancies of a number of Gods; and that the human was not possessed of any particular attributes of free-will or deep comprehension. In short Christian Europe began to reject the mystical aspects of Roman-Greek philosophy. The development of Christian culture made this an inescapable reality. In fact, a very good argument can be made that far from initiating science and secular reasoning in the West; ancient Greece and Rome militated against it.
The empires of Greece, and Rome were all slave empires. Justifying slavery is most easily done with a system steeped in fatalism, racism or supremacism, and mysticism in which Gods play games with human souls. Any theology of morality and science immediately rejects slavery as evil and unproductive. Slavery always obstructs moral, social and technological progress. Greek and Roman pantheism and culture enshrined and justified slavery. Greek inventors knew of the steam engine; Roman engineers had the skills to build water mills; and both had insights into alchemic processes which should have produced rational science.
Yet modern rationality failed to develop in Greece and Rome. The culture prevented it as did the multitudes of laboring slaves. Why bother with innovation and the freeing of millions of humans ? Won't they then rise up and crush the state and the carefully-created system protected by various Gods? The same is true of China, India, and all the Islamic states and empires of the past 1400 years. These non-Christian states, never possessed the Christian urge to attain both spiritual and rational knowledge and truth and were thus mired in slavery and anti-modern mysticism.
Christianity ended slavery by 800 AD in Europe and it was the Christian church in alliance with the Royal Navy and Northern US armies, which eradicated slavery in the southern US and slave trading on the world's oceans. No other theology in world history ended slavery. No other ideology manufactured the moral and military armaments needed to end the immoral practice of human enslavement and degradation. No other conception of human affairs elevated both the spirit and the pursuit of rationality. Far from being opposed to science, a good argument can be made that Christianity created it.
