And They Wonder Why We're Angry
By Ben Voth

America is experiencing a major culture war between its interpreters and the people.  It is less a war of political parties: Democrat versus Republican.  It is less a war of ideologies: conservative versus liberal.  The rapidly escalating censorship of the internet giants against Dennis Prager and an array of conventionally American advocates is a symptom of an interpretive class gone mad with their own power.  In many respects, it pits the secular against the religious and the higher economic class against the lower class. 

It is girded by a unified political party.  Republicans and Democrats are significantly unified against a president they view as vulgar and offensive.  There is nothing liberal about the escalating intolerance of groups like Antifa and even the radical Islamic supremacist camp recently discovered in New Mexico.  There is a growing cultural reckoning between notions of America as a constitutional republic or America as a democratic socialist utopia.  The polarity is profound, and the interpreters believe they hold the upper hand with regard to education, the media, the government, the church, and the press.  These epistemological agents control the story dispensed to the people, and though they failed miserably in 2016, they believe they will in 2018 rise again to dictate outcomes for the people.

Maybe angry. Maybe disgusted. Maybe resisting absolute control.

The interpreters [Elites and Leftists] decide what things mean.  Is something offensive?  Is something racist?  Is something sexist?  Is something homophobic or transphobic?  These decisions destroy the people's access to the public sphere and public legitimacy.

We let them, and nearly every trusted institution went along with them to the point that government is able to be used to FORCE compliance of belief.  Homosexual marriage is prima-facea evidence of this.

Quote
The interpretive class would do well to stop and listen to the public instead of pretending to be unaware of the basis of the public's outrage. 

No, the Left has no intention of listening to the public that they hold in the same hatred, contempt and disgust that leaders in government, business and academia hold it.

Quote
The public does have a clue.  It is not ignorant.

The public waited too long to rectify where we have arrived to affect the outcome without violence.   They were waiting for someone else they could latch onto as a leader to fight that war for them, because their lives were too busy to be engaged in the kind of trench warfare required.  Like everything else, the people wanted to leave it up to someone else to do.

Rendering Secular Leftist imbecility irrelevant in the public sphere, can now only be countered via outright warfare and vindictive payback.   What the prevailing attitude and zeitgeist among the Trumpublic is, is to crush their enemies and do to them what we have allowed the Left to do to the culture and the "public" with impunity for decades.

It's war.  A cold war that could go hot in pockets at any time, and indeed already has.

Liberty is lost regardless which of these 'sides' ends up destroying the other.

And when I say 'destroy' - I mean kill, as in bloodshed.  Because the Left is not going to stop now - it's revolution to save the decades of groundwork their Communist patriarchs have laid - and they firmly believe they have indoctrinated enough of the populace to join their cause when real punishment and oppression are made legal.  They believe the 'public' in flyover country will fold like cheap suits when they turn public opinion against them when the shelves go bare and they blame them for the woe and misery that they themselves will unleash.  They know they have unlimited amounts of cash that will be gifted to them to go after and financially destroy every single person they find offensive and want to make an example of.  That career agents have been entrenched in government and the Alphabets to wage political warfare for the Left, should be our canary in the cage that this is for keeps.

We have become the Israelis and the Palestinians in America - there is now never going to be peace in America until one side annihilates the other, or they are shamed into silence or subjugated by force and occupied by an oppressive tyranny to keep order.  Given that the architects of the current Democrat leadership war-gamed the extermination of up to 40 million Americans that they asserted could not be 'converted' to the new Leftist cause - I would say annihilation is very much going to be the plan.  A people hostile to the 'old' morality will have no reservations in doing those things in order to impose their new 'morality'.

As history teaches.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

    Sometimes, particularly after reading some of your more eerie post's @INVAR I am glad I am an old man and not long for this world.  It'd be a whole different situation, perhaps, if I had kids, but I have little invested in this CF.

   * I do care, though, presently.


   
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

When he goes off like that ...
I just think he's full of more shit than a Christmas goose. 
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

    Unlike on other Forums US Invarmunist are allowed to constructively criticize our leader.
    There's a few Trumpers here that can't say the same.

Care to tell me where I am full of shit in what I posted above?

Or do you think when push comes to shove, we're gonna sit down and sing kumbayah with the other half of the population that wants you subjugated to their rule or dead?

@corbe

To an Orange Brigadier, there is no such thing as "constructive criticism" of President Trump. Hell, if you aren't offering full throated approval of all his actions, punctuated by shouts of "winning!!!", and "MAGA", then you're a Never Trumper.

It's hard on people finally having a man in the white house. We are so used to spineless wimps.
GWB was ok in Iraq* but the spineless wimps converted him too.
*Sadam paid the terrorists to kill Americans then gave them a safe place to roost.
The bomb: Congress was shown pics, but now they forgot and let GWB look like an mule.
