Political Divisions: An In-depth Analysis

Historical Perspective

Recently, I found myself engrossed in a documentary about the history of political discourse and division in the United States. It made me reflect on how past internal conflicts might be related to the current social battles that Americans are grappling with. From the early disagreements among the Founding Fathers to the devastating Civil War, America has always been a melting pot of diverse opinions.

The Ideal of Unity

Despite these differences, there has always been an underlying belief that Americans, even in times of disarray, will find common ground and move towards a better future together. However, this ideal seems to be losing its relevance in today's polarized society.

Understanding the Past

Some argue that the US has always been destructive, exploitative, or "imperialist." However, it's crucial to remember that judging past actions through the lens of modern sensibilities can be misleading. We must acknowledge that our understanding of the past is limited by our contemporary perspectives.

The Left and History

The political left often tries to rewrite history based on their current ideologies, applying their taboos to time periods when societal norms were vastly different. This approach, rooted in "futurism", assumes that all old ideas should be abandoned for new ones, a theory that has not always proven correct.

Forced Association

One of the key strategies used by the left is forced association, which aims to create a homogenous society devoid of individual thought or the right to discriminate against harmful groups and ideologies. This raises the question - why are those in power so keen on forcing people with fundamentally different beliefs to coexist within a society?

Central Planners and Unity

For central planners, often socialists or globalists, tribalism is unacceptable. They believe that for a one-world government to be achieved, all divisions must be erased and everyone must either love or fear the purveyors of "unity."

Political Disagreements and Unity

Historically, even during the worst of times, both sides of a political division shared the same basic principles and morals. They had similar values, a shared religion, and a shared understanding of reality. Their goal was for America and its fundamental heritage to survive, even if they didn't always agree with the Constitution or the existing leadership. However, this is not the case today.

Current Political Landscape

Today, it's clear that there will never be peaceful reconciliation between woke progressives and conservatives/independents. One side has to go, and it seems that the majority of people in the US want leftists to go. However, it's important to note that not all people on the political left are the same. There is a spectrum from traditional liberals to extreme activists.

The Role of Moderates

Many moderates are finally waking up to the dangers of the collectivist movements in our society. Perhaps it was the pandemic lockdowns, the attempted trans indoctrination of children, or the aggressive nature of far-left activists that made them realize that conservatives were right about a lot of things all along.

Core Disconnect

There are many factors that set conservatives (and many moderates) apart from the political left, but the core disconnect is so deep and disturbing it's hard to quantify. In essence, the left finds purpose in deconstructing and destroying what others have built, whereas conservatives aim to build and protect what has been proven to work.

Globalists and Leftists

Globalists, while leftists at their core, differ in that they are builders. However, they don't build societies; they build prisons. Once the leftists have deconstructed America, the globalists plan to introduce a new ideal, a new religion, a new foundation based on worshiping them.

Science, Religion, and Morality

Liberty combined with wisdom and a moral compass can indeed be a unifying principle. America works best when Christianity is at the forefront, providing a unifying moral code. Furthermore, it's easier to reconcile Christian social systems with science and critical thinking than it is to reconcile freedom-loving Americans with far-left collectivists.

Conclusion

Ultimately, it seems impossible to live side-by-side with people who despise every pillar that holds western civilization together. With no unifying principle or mutual respect, there appears to be no path to peace.
