The Flow of Ideas; the March of Time

I'm not saying it's the Shadows, but it's the Shadows.

Are these society’s secret masters?

Writing about the past really brings to light how ideas change. It is eerie to see how the ideas that our ancestors held as most important have almost all been overthrown.

Class? Marriage? Church? Virtue? Modesty? Sanctity of Life?

These used to be some of the most cherished, most defended ideas society fought to protect.

Now? All abandoned, or worse, derided.

And forget centuries ago, we only need to go back twenty years—possibly only ten—to reach a point where, if we told them that people believe men can become women, they would laugh. They would not be able to take us seriously.

So, how does it happen?

How does a ridiculous idea, such as that murdering the unborn is good, or that a man can become a woman, or that a person who breaks the law and enters a country illegally should be treated better than citizens, how do such ideas grab the social-moral high ground, such that a significant portion of the population believes they are superior for thinking it?

How do we reach the point where women no longer want babies?

Clearly, someone has sussed out how to do this. Probably the Nazis or the Communists. They studied this stuff.

But what is puzzling to me is: how do they put across these ideas without leaders of society?

Studying history, I know who wore the first Empire-waist chemise gown and who made wearing ostrich feathers popular in England, but nowadays? Who introduces these strange ideas?

They seem to show up everywhere at once, on every news show, with the same smug assumption of virtue, as if these absurd new ideas have always been agreed upon. And yet, no one seems to be the origin point—meaning there’s no one to point out, no one to fight, to stop the ideas from spreading.

Almost as if it’s the Shadows from Babylon Five.

If this reference is opaque to you, here is one way the Shadows were introduced:

“Who decides that the workday is from 9 to 5, instead of 11 to 4? Who decides that the hemlines will be below the knee this year and short again next year? Who draws up the borders, controls the currency, handles all of the decisions that happen transparently around us?”

“I don’t know.”

“Ah! I’m with them. Same group, different department.

It is almost as if there is some entity out there leading humans by the nose to become a mockery of everything they stood for: the feminists? They now defend men taking everything women have earned. Worse, now they are on TikTok celebrating the coming of Sharia Law, the law that embodies exactly what they say they fear.

Somewhere, I would think the demons are laughing—except I don’t think demons have enough goodness left in them to get any enjoyment from laughter.

And the more a person believes this patent nonsense, the more frightened they become of those who have woken up, until they are willing to shoot them.

Is there anything we can do about this? We ordinary people with no access to whomever is behind this?

No. To ordinary man, it is impossible.

But to God, all things are possible.

Pray for the Truth that will set us free.
