Defang the Snake! James A. Lindsay on How to Avoid Verbal Traps

One of my readers referred me to the very interesting video above called "Name the Dynamic." It's about how woke Marxists use manufactured arguments to advance their cause. It seems to me that the description of the tactic isn't limited to the Left. I'm interested to learn more about the strategy, so I subscribed to James Lindsay's channel. 

Yes, America, Systemic Racism Exists, the Media and Academia are Full of It!

"Actual racism means nothing to these people. What matters to them is whether they can use racial division to advance the partisan political agenda."

Yup! Tucker nailed it. 

The Commies in China are Calling Us a "Failed Country."

Tiananmen Square 1989 

Chinese state propaganda claims the US is a 'failed state' ruled by a 'racist president'

Seriously? 

This from a commie country that's murdered millions of its own children under the one child policy? 

A country that quelled the 1989 peaceful student-led Tiananmen Square protest with tanks and guns?

A country that deliberately unleashed COVID-19 on the global population?

17 Have Died in Riots around the Country. Do These Lives Matter?

Do these lives matter? Do blue lives matter? I posted on Facebook last night about three young blacks who traced two police officers to their homes to firebomb their cars. (Source) Our police officers have wives and families. Do their lives matter?

The Poison of Cultural Marxism; Is There a Cure?

The bloody tyrant and the humble saint played by
Robert Shaw and Paul Scofield. 

St. Thomas More once said, “There is no time so evil that a good man cannot live in it.” Of course, as things turned out, he could not, in fact, live in that evil time, and suffered martyrdom through the betrayal of liars and sycophants. And other good men and women over the next decades under succeeding monarchs of that trying English period died too: clergy like Bishop John Fisher and scores of priests including Jesuits St. Edmund Campion and St. Robert Southwell, lay priest protectors like Anne Line and Margaret Clitherow, and a host of others dragged to the “tree” at Tyburn, their personal cross, to be hanged, drawn and quartered.1

Gucci Models Carry Their Own (Replicated) Severed Heads on Runway

Me and my 
new Gucci bag
 

Where can I buy one! 

A fashion must have...

There's nothing like Cultural Marxism to bring out ugliness and evil. The fashion world is abuzz at how the grotesque severed heads were made, model's third eye in the middle of her forehead, horns, baby dragons and snakes, and how and where the figures were born in the imagination of weird fashion designer Alessandro Michele for Gucci's latest Fall-Winter 2018 Milan fashion show.

Michele, described as "a true artist filled with sensitivity", says that severed heads in his creepy operating room runway set remind us of Lord of the Rings and Judith in the Bible...because the Bible is the first thing we think of when we see people beheaded, right? And in the next instant the image of Judith beheading Holofernes leaps into our minds. Right? Of course not. 

Severed heads = Islam, but no one would dare say the obvious. That would be Islamophobic. Therefore Michele merely speaks fluff-talk to cover up Europe's current dhimmi situation along with their subliminal mindset which is capitulation to Islam. It's as if, with the severed heads, Gucci is presenting a tribute to Islam - and the message is loud and clear: "Oh conquering Muslim masters, we submit! We give up! We carry our heads to lay at your feet." 

When I Use the Terms Liberal and Liberalism, This is What I Mean

A comment on this morning's blog post from Hans Georg Lundahl made me think I need to address how I use the terms liberal and liberalism. Here's what Mr. Lundahl wrote, "Chesterton said 'Capitalism is a Sin, Communism is a Heresy' and I think how you use "Liberalism" falls more under the label Communism. (As using labels myself, I am conscious of how other bloggers use them)."

Mr. Lindahl is correct. First, I use "liberal" to define principally those individuals who are cultural Marxists or secular moral relativists. Their beliefs shift in the wind because they do not believe in absolute truth. Whether or not they describe themselves as such, they are revealed by their stated beliefs and their actions. Second, I use the term "liberalism" as did Fr. Felix Sarda Y Salvany in his classic work, Liberalism is a Sin. His book, to me, perfectly describes the liberal mind and can be illustrated through liberals' words and behavior.

So how does Fr. Salvany define liberalism? He identifies four principles of liberal propaganda:

George Soros and Pope Francis -- Strange Bedfellows or Birds of a Feather?

Wikileaks published a number of emails showing how George Soros uses supporters within the

Vatican to influence Pope Francis. It's not a pretty story and, in fact, it should give every Catholic pause. When a socialist monster like Soros is influencing how the Vatican approaches the moral issues of the day, WATCH OUT! LifeSiteNews and The Remnant both wrote stories showing how Soros money is being used to influence what comes out of Rome. Here are some excerpts from The Remnant story:
