“The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices – to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own – for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to The Twilight Zone.”
[closing narration: “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street”, Twilight Zone episode aired March 4, 1960]
The quick answer to the question is “No”. There is no culture war and that is that. Everyone really needs to watch “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” to understand why there is no culture war.
So, the real question becomes: Why do people believe there is a culture war here in the US (that spills into other countries)? That is a bit more complicated. It starts with a basic lack of understanding of the philosophy of Jesus Christ. (This is not an endorsement of religion. This is about the philosophy).
Being a Christian is pretty simple. There are only three rules
1. Love God
2. Love yourself as you love God
3. Love your neighbors as you love yourself and God.
SIDE NOTE: I know there are only two commandments, but for this post I decided to split the commandments. The USA is the only Christian country on the planet. The US Constitution is the works of men who understood the philosophy of Jesus Christ. And that is more important for this post than being accurate with the Bible.
Okay, so many people will be like, “No way, freedom of religion” or “No state sponsored religion”.
You are correct. But, I bet you didn’t know that Jesus didn’t believe in a state-sponsored religion or the persecution of any person for believing in another faith. That is how our US Constitution is set up, in just the way Jesus would have wanted it. Where in the Bible does it say Jesus persecuted anyone? He didn’t. That is why the US is supposed to believe that everyone is innocent while the prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Please focus on the word “beyond”.
Back to “…Is There a Culture War?”
In the Chauvin trial, the mass media’s reporting clearly shows that both, the left and the right, have embraced the death culture of Progressive ideology. Every person who can justify the use of force used by Chauvin clearly embraces Progressive ideology, which mandates state- sponsored killings. A state-sponsored killing ranges from killing babies in the belly to the death penalty. They are the same in that they are all state sponsored. State sponsored means paid for by tax dollar
If you accept one type of state sponsored killing, you accept them all. So, the question becomes: “If Chauvin is found innocent,” (which I believe he will be) “how can you say George Floyd’s death was a state-sponsored killing?” I know, I know that many of you will say that it isn’t a killing but an act of self-defense. I get it but as a Christian that reads and follows the King James Version of the Bible, I can say without a doubt, you are misguided.
The New Testament of the KJV is where the Bill of Rights come from and not the Old Testament. The 8th Amendment clearly defines excessive penalties and cruel and unusual punishments.Those ideals are unique to Christians only. We gave those rights to everyone regardless of your faith or ethnicity.
But, those ideals are gone. The Progressives have bastardize policing through Hollywood. Hollywood presents the Bill of Rights as a joke, and teaches us to fear one another. Of course Hollywood lies but those lies are candy coated as “fiction & fantasy”. The truth is lost when we believe fiction.
Here is the truth. Police are our shepherds while being examples of the Christian faith. If you are Jewish or a Muslim cop, you swore an oath to uphold our culture of policing as a Christian by following the non state sponsored Christian document known as the Bill of Rights.
SIDENOTE 2: It is obvious that people who will riot and burn down cities, etc., because Chauvin has been found innocent are Progressives. So, there is no need to state the obvious. And if people respect the Constitution and follow “reasonable doubt”, Chauvin should go free from the crimes he committed.
It has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, that George Floyd was a drug addict. A drug addict who was addicted to the worst drug man has ever concocted. And, because of that fact, the Progressives have gotten the Conservatives to believe that a police officer has the right to kill that person because his (the police officer’s) “safety was at risk”.
And yes, Chauvin killed Floyd (testimony on 4/8/2021 from MD explains what every fighter already knows). By not giving immediate aid to the drug addict (Floyd) who took way too many pills, Chauvin killed him. Floyd, the drug addict, was controlled by fear and that fear made Floyd swallow those pills. Fear (I hope) made Chauvin deny basic first aid/care to Floyd which ultimately led to his death. To the best of my knowledge, Floyd would have been saved at the ER. Even if Floyd wasn’t saved at the ER, it is better to have him die at the hands of people trying to save him than from a state-sponsored death.
We all know, based on the videos alone, that Chauvin’s life was not at risk…it was not at risk at any point of his engagement with Floyd. Even though Chauvin’s life was not at risk, Chauvin has been trained (based on witness testimony on 4/7/21) that what he did was actually not a bad thing. In fact, Chauvin legally could have used more force. Even though exigent circumstances did not exist, Chauvin has been trained by the state (and we all know that Minnesota is a Progressive state) to kill when you are “afraid”. Based on that alone, Chauvin is innocent of all the charges brought by the state.
The right and/or Christians in name only (Chinos) will all believe that Chauvin did nothing wrong because Chauvin was found innocent. Chinos will say, “It is a tragedy that Floyd is dead, but he shouldn’t have been doing drugs and passing fake bills”. Chinos will also say something like “Floyd is a felon, who is a dangerous man who tried to kill people that hurt women and children. He deserves death.”
The media is reporting that Chauvin is guilty, even though the prosecution is not proving their case at all. The DA is doing so bad that the Public Defender can win this case to defeat the state. So why is the media doing this?
The media is hoping for mass chaos after the verdict. They will get the mass chaos because we accept that the Progressives have made us into an anti-Christian nation. The left and right will be fighting each other in the streets. Exactly as planned by the Progressives. The far left will be burning down cities and the right will say “look at those savages”. It is so predictable that the aliens on other planets are saying, “Mot, take a look at those earthlings. They do not know how to share anything, so they kill each other off in tribal fights. So share with your baby yob brother or you’ll end up like an earthling.” (If you do not know the word yob or Mot, go watch Looney Tunes “Rocket-Bye Baby”.)
The media will have right-leaning pundits say Chino things and the media will have left- leaning pundits saying Progressive things (which sounds very similar to Chinos). As long as the media has both sides fighting, that is our new Progressive culture America has now accepted. There is no war. Progressives won.
The problem is quite simple. Progressives have gotten the masses to not love themselves. If you do not love yourself, you are incapable of loving anyone. People who do not love themselves are very good at pretending to love everyone. In fact, many of them are capable of “taking care of the world”, yet hate themselves. Modern medicine calls that problem “Co-Dependent Personality Disorder”. Many RNs have this condition, (which explains why so many of them are closeted drunks).
So, if you can be successful like a RN, by not loving yourself, why do you have to love yourself? Well, easiest answer is that you must love yourself to have the ability to love anyone else. You cannot love anyone until you learn to love yourself. That is a lesson of Jesus Christ. He tells us this because there is more to life than money, prestige and/or fame.
We,as people, are not islands. At the very least, we need at least one other person to love. (Love isn’t sexual. Love is love. Sex is sex. Stop mixing the two). So when the masses are looking for that person to love, but can’t because they don’t love themselves, they look for scapegoats to blame for their misery. The MSM makes it a point that we blame our “neighbors” instead of loving them.
When the masses start scapegoating, they start going to war with anything and everyone they disagree with. The disagreement might be as simple as the type of music two different people like. They will go to war over that simple disagreement. “MY MUSIC IS SUPERIOR BECAUSE I DON”T USE AUTOTUNE!” is grounds to go beat down a person in this country.
In the 1950s, ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, people used to celebrate their differences. No one cared about cultural appropriation. Civil rights happened (for the most part the ’60s and ’70s took them away, but that is for another post). Music in all its forms was celebrated by all. People danced.
So what happened to Chauvin? Chauvin forgot his Christian teachings. Seriously, if Chauvin just followed those three simple steps of Christ he would be sitting at home with loved ones. All Chauvin had to do was say “Hey, I know this guy, let me deal with him.” Then ride with Chauvin to the ER, get Floyd's stomach pumped and ridicule him at the club they both work while sharing their trials and tribulations. Then eventually, Floyd who was a “baby” Christian would have learned to be a better man from Chauvin’s examples. That is how Christianity works. That is why the USA is the greatest country in the history of mankind but Progressives took it away by using fiction.
The solution is easy. Stop hating on others and focus on loving yourself. When you can do that, you’ll show love to others by sharing what you like to those who are different than you. You will share your interests without being mean (you know, without snark) and embrace not being a monster on Maple Street.
