Cancel Culture Is Ideology Fueled by the Oldest Sins of Mankind

A great struggle is upon us. The ideals of the West are under attack. The unwashed barbarian hordes are at the gate. This army, led by the Prince of Darkness has no other agenda than to tear down and destroy. Its foot soldiers are under the Prince’s spell, for he is a clever liar. Manipulating the ignorant and unlearned is easy, especially for him. The rabble cries for justice, but their movement marches to only one inevitable ending, that of slavery and destitution for all. Sadly, these soldiers know nothing of the treasures of Western thought and ideals. They are easily manipulated. This is the story of Marxism. Its evil is well known to the learned. What strength and guidance can we draw upon  to fight this enemy?

“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”

How apropos are Thomas Paine’s words today, when Western Civilization is threatened by a mighty enemy? We live in an easy age, where many don’t realize the uniqueness of our freedoms, nor the blood spent to obtain them.  The reason today’s cultural Marxists are hell bent on “cancelling” our culture is because the lessons of the past totally annihilate their ideology. A learned citizenry is kryptonite to the radical Left. Fortunately, the well of recorded knowledge in the West is deep and plentiful.
