Is going to be a false globalist one with the trappings of Christianity. And Jordan Peterson is its UN-anointed prophet.
Leftism is the religion that says that Activists are called to save the victims of the world by politics. That is to say, by force.
I say it is a false religion.
But nothing is going to change until we come up with something better that would persuade the hearts and minds of Good Little Liberal Boys and Good Little Liberal Girls to take down their #WeBelieve yard signs. We need a new religion that will lead to Jonah’s new “moral consensus”…
So we need a new religion for the People of the Creative Self, one that celebrates creativity without declaring war on the deplorable middle class. The best thing would be to celebrate both creativity and responsibility while still caring for the traditionally marginalized and exploited.
Did you know that there is a chap out there who wrote a book about this, that the highest and best human was the sacrificial, creative hero exploring courageously on the border between order and chaos, bringing the dangerous unknown world into the known world? As opposed to the lefty creative activist and his gospel of force. And this guy has also written a best-seller about getting responsible and cleaning up your room.
What is interesting about this man is that he risked his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor — or as we say now: his career, his pension, and his reputation — as a sacrificial hero opposing the Canadian C-16 law about transgender pronouns.
To the left, Jordan Peterson is obviously the anti-activist. But alt-righter Vox Day calls him a charlatan. That’s the thing about prophets. They are all charlatans until they aren’t.
So what’s going to happen? Solway’s revolution, Vox Day’s reactive nationalism, or Jonah’s new “moral consensus?” My guess is all of the above.
The key is the moral consensus.
My take is that a fake religion constructed by a suicidal charlatan and a false moral non-consensus have absolutely no hope of surviving against a resurgent nationalism supported by a return to unabashed Scripturally-sound Christianity. Because the truth lasts while falsehood has to constantly mutate just to remain credible.
I care nothing for consensus. To quote Captain America when he actually was the real Captain America:
When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world, “No, YOU move.”
