Episode 322 – Cultural Cancer

Our society has a disease and it might be terminal. It is not a biological disease. Biological diseases are physical, scientific and exact. We have a societal, cultural disease. This disease is hard to see because it is idealistic, conceptual and hard to define.

I was struck by events that occurred last week. Hell, I’ve been struck by the occurrence of the last ten years. Let’s talk about illness of our culture, the symptoms and how we can heal it.

 

The Disease

The occurrences that have happened over the last year, and specifically over the last couple of weeks, really show the rot that the disease of our culture is causing.

  • George Floyd, Armand Arbury and Brionna Taylor.
  • Satan Shoes by internet rapper Lil Nas X.
  • The death of Mohammad Anwar by a 15 and 13 year old while he was working for Uber Eats.

 

The Symptoms

The symptoms of our cultures disease has been around for years. No, decades.

I’ve been hearing this same crap since I was a kid. I’m 53 years old. I’m old. Really old. I remember Earth Day in the 70s and hearing about how the world was going to end in ten years. I also heard that in the 80s, 90s and, of course, 2000s. AOC is behind the times a bit.

Let’s look at what is causing our illness.

Revisionist History

This includes the tearing down of statues, the 1619 Project and Howard Zinn. We need our history. The good and the bad. It must be cancelled or made flat. That’s because one has to hide the good things that have happened in our history and demonize the bad things. But that’s not enough. We also have to make shit up in order to make us worse than we are. You already know what I think of the genocide of the Indians.

Cancel Culture

  • Dr. Seuss
  • Mr. Potatohead
  • Aunt Jamima
    Uncle Ben
  • Dumbo
  • Peter Pan
  • The Aristocats
  • Swiss Family Robinson
  • Shakespeare
  • Gina Corano of The Mandalorian
  • President Trump
  • Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne
  • Pepe LePew
  • Speed Gonzales
  • Gone with the Wind
  • The Washington Redskins
  • The Washington Redskin cheerleaders
  • Plato

 

That’s just to name a few.

The Left must kill our current culture because it is good. It is fun. It is entertaining. It shows our creativity. And it’s all good. The Left can’t have that. We need the bland and sterile culture of political correctness and indoctrination. Just like China. We’ll be talking more about his later in another podcast.

The Leftism Spreading the Disease Through Our Institutions

Our institutions have been infiltrated and are now openly pushing the Leftist ways.

  • Education
  • Corporations/economy/financial system
  • Entertainment
  • News media
  • The family unit
  • Religion
  • The military and police force

 

Individualism Being Replaced by the Collective/Class Warfare

 

Death of the Meritocracy

 

 

 

The Causes

This has been happening for years. It didn’t just happen. This is our fault. When this first happened, we ignored it. The Left was the counter-culture and no one took it seriously. So it just grew and grew. Nikita Khrushchev said this back in the 50s and 60s. Communism would take over the United States with out anyone needing to fire a single shot.

Here are the causes of the decay of our culture:

  • Race
  • Environmentalism
  • Inequity\class warfare\inequality
  • Feminism
  • The rise of the LGBTQ
  • Hatred of capitalism/communism

 

How Do We Fix This

We would have a lot easier a time fixing this if we had hit this years ago. But that’s water under the bridge. We have to try to fight it now. The best we can do is just do what we should and have been doing.

  • Gain knowledge in history, art, philosophy, literature, science and the Constitution.
  • Embrace God and religion. Know the Bible. Teach morality. Know the seven deadly sins and the 10 commandments and how to apply them in life.
  • Get educated, get a job, get married, have kids and teach those kids. In other words, embrace the family and raise moral children.
  • Embrace individuality and treat each person based on that person.
  • Keep a freedom library. I have a Mark Twain and Shakespeare anthologies. And buy books, nothing electronic. Make sure you have one for your kids too.
  • If a business does something you don’t like, ignore the business and don’t support it. Forget boycotts. They never work.
  • Speak up when you hear something wrong. Silence is surrender. Lead by example.
  • Don’t trust one side of an argument even if you like that side. Listen to all sides. This will usually confirm your beliefs.
  • Be happy and laugh at what’s funny, even if it is at yourself. I love South Park for a reason. Most of it is an exaggerated look at what is happening in life.
