Understanding Critical Theory
Many serious conflicts are stoked by a group-think that requires absolute conformity of thought.
What the “group-conscience” says is true is true whether or not it makes sense or conforms to reality. This is the heart of Cancel Culture and the Marxist-based dogma known as Critical Theory.
Critical Theory is a cheap and shallow counterfeit to the nuclear family composed of a father, mother, and the children under their care. It is also a crass substitute for all religious institutions that pledge allegiance, not to man, but a higher spiritual authority, namely God. Critical Theory also opposes the rule of law. Healthy prosperous governments operating by constitutions to serve the will of the people of their respective governments must be torn down in order for a socialist utopia to emerge to the benefit, not of the people, but of a ruling class.
Families, churches, and constitutional governments are the enemies of a global elite seeking to rule and live off the oppressed lives of the masses. Technology is how they believe they will see this come to pass. When all information is filtered through their censors, people will lose the ability to know what is true and what is propaganda.
Critical Theory’s objective is criticism of cultural norms, in order to pit groups against one another. It doesn’t really matter what defines the different groups. The more differences between people that can be described by oppressors versus oppressed, the more thorough the dismantling of the status quo will be. This stoking of emotions keeps people distracted and confused in order to weaken society for the benefit of a powerful few. You’re right. I’m repeating myself.
The antidote to conflict, whether at the human to human level or groups against groups level is the courage of individuals to think for themselves and express their opinions clearly and calmly, and then to be willing to take the brutal character assaults that will come.
We are seeing this being played out at a global level now but it has been slowly building to this point over the last couple of centuries. (Actually, the conflict is much older than this. I touched on it when I attempted earlier to describe the existence and nature of evil.)
Pointing this out is the same as shining light on what hinders us in recovering who we really are and hope to become. Ignoring the enemy at the gates in order to feel more comfortable about life will result in later losing more than we can imagine.
With regards to conflicts of good versus evil, at the global level, we alone may not be able to do much ourselves to change things, but it always boils down to the fact that we have only this day to worry about. If we decide not to cave but to always seek and speak truth then paths of good right living will be our legacy for the generations to follow. Deciding to live and not quit, to speak truth and love and not be silent, and to act in loving ways around all we interact with today is our form of warfare. That’s what it means to be salt and light.
