I have recently garnered some intensely negative and vicious attention in response to my public denouncement and forceful excoriation of the insidious Marxist agenda of terror and destruction which unquestionably undergirds the BLM Inc movement. ย Those who actively support those aims and its associated ideology will simply attack me disingenuously as โracist!โ or similarly nonsensical slanders that have no factual bearing on my core beliefs, my true character, and my rational arguments; to them, I have no response, as none is warranted. ย But to those who would claim that many โinnocentโ members of the general population who have acquiesced to and fully accommodated the BLM slogans, black square endorsements, and other related forms of pandering support are only doing so in an altruistic attempt to โsupport the oppressedโ, I have a very emphatic response: WAKE THE HELL UP. ย
I chose those words (as I do all my words) very intentionally. ย Hell has literally been awakened and thrust upon our entire culture in an incredibly direct and divisive way, and there comes a time in conflict when negotiations and persuasions are not only unhelpful but deadly, and brutal force alone can defend innocent life. ย โWaking upโ to this fact is essential to surviving this current moment, and time is of the essence. ย
In fairness, there is certainly truth, and benefit, in understanding and utilizing what some (including a very dear friend recently, who is both wise and brave) have referred to as โthe art of subtletyโโrealizing that many times, patience and empathy is required to develop trust and productive dialogue. ย The clichรฉ of attracting more bees with honey over vinegar is valid, and to be taken thoughtfully. ย However, thereโs another analogy of the animal variety referring to a frog in a pot; and there is a very vague, amorphous, and deceptive conflation that is happening between subtlety and surrender.
Part of the problem is that the enemy (which I unequivocally define as Marxist ideology and radical leftist aims to destroy our country at its very roots) is itself an expert in deception; that is their very greatest weapon, in fact, and they have wielded it here exquisitely by disguising their true intent with the confusion of a diametrically opposed title, sitting deceptively atop their murderous machine of radical mobilization. ย Playing into that deception is understandableโbut it is NOT excusable. ย
The painful truth (and the deepest truths always are) is that if you knowingly excuse or even ignore a falsehood, you become complicit in its continuation, inevitable growth, and eventual destructive ends. ย To the extent that any of the countless millions of people posting black squares of solidarity are doing so only in a misguided attempt to affirm an obvious, essential, and defining truth (that life has inherent dignity and any lives shortchanged of that dignity and its necessary protections should be defended), they can be understood as sadly naive and dangerously ignorant. ย But to those who absolutely should and must know better, especially those entrusted with the sacred stewardship of teaching truth and guiding the intellectual and spiritual development of others, there is no excusing the slide from subtlety to surrender. ย
There is a subtle difference between solidarity and virtue signaling, and the associated cost of an action is often a telling sign of distinction. ย The desire to express support of human equality is virtuous; in this very truth lies the greatness of America itself and the historic and transformational legal founding of its Declaration of Independence and Constitution. ย An honest support of such equality in the face of its opposition would incur the cost of conflict, as seen in examples such as the many lives lost in our revolutionary and civil wars, and the tragic death of a human and civil rights hero like MLK. ย But the current crop of supposed expressions of solidarity are clearly virtue signaling with no cost to the signaler whatsoever, and which in contrast contain a revealing obsession with public affirmation, a debilitating need for popular and specifically leftist acceptance, a compromising pursuit of assuaging erroneous guilt, and a disgusting and disheartening surrender to the demands of an ethically reprehensible mob. ย
Make no mistake; by pandering to the explicit terms and tactics of a distinct and definable enemy of truth, YOU ARE JOINING THE ENEMYโYOU HAVE BETRAYED THE TRUTH.
The consequences of such a betrayal are as predictable as they are profound. ย The chaos that is currently consuming our culture in a flurry of fire, rage, and devastation is but a taste of the ensuing destruction that falsehoods and malicious forces will always deliver, and these fires can only continue with the oxygenation of complicity by so many others who are either blindly or blithely stoking their continued incendiary consumption of our sacred values. ย The burning will fiercely continue until it is deprived of the fallacious air that fuels it. ย The destruction will only mount and it will soon overcome us, unless we expose these lies and reject them, fully and forcefully. ย โThe truth will set you freeโ, and our literal freedom is very much at stake; truth is our only hope of survival. ย The art of subtlety must now give way to the art of war, with truth as our weapon, faith as our shield, compassion as our girding, and the conviction that surrender will never save us as our sound and winning strategy.
The call to victory is strong and succinct:
Stand up. ย Stand firm. ย Defend truth. ย Reject lies. ย
Subtlety can be smart; persuasion, an art. But surrendering truth will only serve to break us all apart.
