There is likely an algorithmic threshold certain conspicuous tragedies pass in terms of Cathedral strategic narrative importance. Whether it is wheeling out Biden for an obligatory speech, or issuing ceremonial legislation that won’t do much other than get a few bonus approval points they would otherwise not have had. Regardless, they view tragedy as political, and as Rahm Emmanuel said, “Never let a serious crisis go to waste.”
While I was at work today, my coworker told me, passingly, “Oh, there was a mass shooting in Uvalde.” In my mind, I instantly think about Matthew McConaughey and a really good coffeeshop in Uvalde when that city’s name is brought up. Then after going through those two factoids in my mind, I inquired to my coworker how many were killed. At the time, it was just two. After work, I got to learn it was much more than two - about eighteen children. At least over a dozen and a half young children were murdered. And for us individually, it isn’t really that much of a shock. This happens all the time, after all, and the way anyone with empathetically sound hearts seem to cope with it is by denouncing these shootings as psyop false flags. For normies, they don’t really know anything other than the fucked up world they have lived in their entire life. For them these issues are simply political, and can be solved with a step-by-step legislative approach, and if it weren’t for those damn greedy republicans/stupid demodums we would live in a utopia.
Unfortunately, these issues aren’t political, and nothing a midwit sociopath in government can do will ever change the serious existential problems that face modern society. We all know, though, depending on where we work, or go to school, or however we spend our average weekday, the return to our daily routine tomorrow will be somewhat tense; rife with either unconscious rejection of emotionally dealing with a seriously tragic event and deep spiritual societal ailment, or conversations coping, and likely debating, on political and medical answers to a problem that cannot be addressed by either.
“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The deeper, unconscious evils of a man’s mind are ultimately rejected, and they reveal themselves in the real world. This is spawned from his rejection of knowing who he is, what is he tasked with, and who his Maker is. In modern society, we do not break a man down to build him back up, nor do we guide him in the direction to break past his resentment and anger. We let it boil within, and we teach him the only way to let it out is to recognize, based on his social status, is through materialistic or power struggle-related psychological delineation. In everyday life, we have cut God away entirely, and where God is, we paint Him with a broad brush. We are afraid of recognizing God for the Father He is, and that Fathers want you to be mighty, to move past your petty irritations, and to grow out of your childish phases.
However, I am not leading up to some demonization of the feminine, nor the perceptibly feminine modern society. In fact, we do not feminize men, nor masculinize women, but we androgenize them. Generally, their parents are removed from the status of life-giver and life-maintainer and place it in the hands of the State, and the State, and its many appendages, are who guide the modern person.
The lost soul who decided to take out his anger on these beautiful children isn’t a product of failed political institutions, nor failed scientific institutions. He is the product of a society that no longer loves. It takes a monster to harm a child, but that monster isn’t special. That monster is seen throughout history, and arises in the form of men to carry out the bidding of the Devil, but it isn’t because societies refused to maintain strict gun laws, nor asylums and mental institutions. Societies that generate monsters are simply void of a center of love, and remove traditional roles for parents.
Our society values heterodoxy because it has a corrupted sense of being. It is almost an embodiment of a lack of being. Living life isn’t about being a customizable character, but a servant for God. A person should naturally want to love and serve, and that is exactly what a lot of sad democrat-voters might think they’re embodying when they write out an angry facebook post about how guns should be banned. They mean well, but there’s a hole in their own logic, and in their own love, that even if they can subconsciously recognize, it will never overpower their dedication to the political.
The political is flighty, and a product of democracy. The two are interchangeable. When we see a persistent moral ail in our society, we have been so psyopped into thinking that the biding question is of political power, and the incentive of changing the law of man is moving society ever so slightly in the direction of how you want it to be. That just isn’t the case in democracy, nor any society that is populated by political animals. If you want to actually make a lasting change, it won’t be through political discussion, and a worry of regulating man’s behavior at the barrel-end of a gun, but through bringing him into your flock at his own freewill. There is a Law stamped on his soul that he readily ignores to fuel his addiction to wrath, but when the offering of spiritual food on a silver platter is shown, it is hard for him to not be flabbergasted. No wonder so many reject goodness, they think it is a sham! They think that the only way to man’s soul is through rejecting the love that fuels him, and replacing it with hate. This is why people are so cynical these days. This is why they do such heinous and atrocious things for what - for the sake of it. To resent what is good and true and beautiful. They are afraid that God loves them and seeks no special dance or sacrifice, but their love and worship - their dedication to be good.
This is why the answer to our morally ailing society is not political, but spiritual. Frankly, it is religious. Modern society rejects God, and chooses to be muddied in the convolution of learned helplessness and politics. The answer isn’t on the lips of Nancy Pelosi or Ted Cruz, nor will we find salvation and eternality in the passing of a law by, for, and of man. What solves man’s moral quandaries is what governs their Soul in the Afterlife; a Law for Angels and Heaven. The answer to this poor sap who murdered these sweet kids isn’t demonization, mocking, nor hatred. The answer was family, forgiveness, and understanding. The answer was also firm truth, obedience, and discipline. This person who committed such heinous crimes, who in my own flesh all I feel is disdain for him, but in the spirit, all I can have is forgiveness for him, should have been listened to by a community, rebuked for his wrath and degeneracy, and he should have confessed of his sins.
He should have been delivered.
But we didn’t do that. Nobody did. He likely grew up on the internet, was bullied in public school, and came from a broken family. He grew up in rotting society, and clearly couldn’t handle it, and resorted to sin to feel comforted. Many such cases. By not offering truth or love, we paid the price. The lives of at least eighteen kids - bless their souls for they are now home.
This is what leads me to the ultimate question we must ask ourselves: “Am I willing to set aside an eternal sense of right and wrong so that I can be as despicable as those who I consciously know act in evil?” This is what many on the DR face. This is the crux of the political. Modern society is willing to hate and gnash (ritualistically at this point) so that it can get the same one-up on its enemy that it has been making for decades, while innocent children continue to be slaughtered.
The answer isn’t political, nor is it violent, but it is an answer from God. The same God who sacrificed his Son for your burdened souls.
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the day approaching.”
Hebrews 10:24-25
