The Moral Level

MoralHighGround

… Is upstream from the political and ideological levels, as interacting with the Death Cult for any length of time will show.

Politics is the art of organizing society toward the common good. It’s a practical matter.

Yet Death Cultists  never speak in practical terms. If they talk about marshaling resources to solve problems, it’s either an excuse to virtue signal over a fake issue or a pretext for excommunicating heretics.

The Cult always operates on the moral level. This behavior will strike members of Gen Y and older who remember when the Left professed staunch moral relativism, but that was just an act to catch normal people off guard.

To the woke cultist, poverty is bad; not because poor people are suffering, but because to them poverty bespeaks systemic social inequality afflicting sundry sacred victim groups. The same goes for crime, education, and healthcare.

Politics is just one tool the Cult uses to advance its moral vision for the world. And an organization whose main purpose is spreading a particular moral vision based on a specific cosmology is called a religion.

When that religion’s fervent aim is destroying the cultural bonds that hold civilization together, you call it what it is–a Death Cult. For a century, the Cult’s strategy has been to ratchet Western culture away from its Christian foundations. They’ve used politics to this end, but only as a tool; not an end in itself.

The way it happened was the Cult would propose one policy that bent Western social norms. They’d always sugarcoat the deviation in reasonable-sounding rhetoric, promising that this one little departure from tradition would fix the problem. But the problem, if it existed, would never be fixed. Instead, the moral rupture would cause worse problems, for which the Cult would prescribe more severe breaks with tradition.

Think of the Cult as sociopathic pill pushers that deliberately make their patients sick so they can sell them drugs that will numb the symptoms while causing worse diseases. Instead of dealing bad medicine that causes, say, lymphoma, the Cult’s poison has afflicted the West with moral cancer.

Conservatives have missed this for years. They’ve stubbornly restricted their criticism of the Death Cult to the political realm. This fetish for practicality is why Conservatives disregard art, among other culture war fronts, and why the Cult runs rings around them.

Politics – to the extent it even exists in a one-party state – has been stripped down to the pitiless business of rewarding friends and punishing enemies.

Unfortunately, most people are still stuck in the obsolete Left-Right paradigm. They’re sure that the mandates, riots, and inflation will go away if they vote harder next time and elect the right politician.

Even more pitiable are those who know they’re targeted by a totalitarian system yet have no faith to sustain them. Dissent from that system will soon mean overcoming fear of death. Nothing in the fedora tippers’ or the tree worshipers’ ad hoc beliefs can impart the supernatural virtue required.

Perfection in virtue comes only through faith in Jesus Christ.

Goes beyond theory into action.

    It doesn’t matter if it’s the first trimester or the thousandth trimester. If you’re against abortion, Leah Torres will abort you.

    Moral relativism was always a tactic used to vacate the field so that they could put their own moral authority in the place of traditional moral authority.

    You can see the same thing with respect to the question of whether there is objective truth. I’m consistently seeing challenges to “fact-checkers” be met with “so you don’t think that there are facts? Aren’t you guys on the right supposed to believe in objective truth?”

    • It’s just another cynical attempt to claim the high ground. Those same shitlibs will bend themselves into pretzels to deny FBI crime statistics and The Bell Curve.

        Of course the Molochians have the high ground.

        It’s hard not to when you’ve built on a foundation of 60 million corpses.

        I’m realizing that this is the exact same move as they do in movie criticism. I.e. opening salvo of “art is subjective, you can’t tell me what I can’t like” followed by “this is great art (because it is woke) and therefore you must acknowledge it as such.”

    The shift that needs to happen is going to be hard. Christians have been cowed by the culture into thinking they have to be polite and spineless to be Christlike. I, myself have a weakness in this area, but every headline gets me into more of a table-flipping mood. For example, the North Georgia Methodist diocese laity need to surround headquarters and send tgeir tithes elsewhere until ‘Bishop Sue’ is defrocked, excommunicated, and publicly denounced by the entire presbytery.

    Conservatives will soon will soon be like their Communists counterparts, with their cries of “True Liberalism was never tried”! If John Locke could see the world of today from his time, he would have burned his manuscript rather than publish.

    For Leah’s sake, she better hope the people don’t decide to take the “moral high ground” and kill all those clump of cells with MDs that pushed experimental and dangerous mrna drugs on the world populace.
