Elitists Left are using BLM to undo the creation of the Middle class that started when those uppity colonialists dared to think they could rule themselves. I’ve written before that the very idea that the common man had the idea he could self-govern was a Slap in the Face to elitists who have been trying to squash that idea and put the masses back in their place. Where the common man got the idea that all men to be treated equal with no special considerations to rich or poor or whatever must be squashed.
It all started with that upstart Martin Luther, not MLK Jr. the original he and his daddy were named after, and that Gutenberg guy making it affordable for those outside the ruling elite to obtain a copy of and read for himself the Word of God. This resulted in the church breaking apart and the Protestant Reformation and an era called “the Age of Enlightenment,” look it up.
You’ll note that the Age of Enlightenment coincides with them uppity colonialists spanking there betters and letting them know that they'll take care of themselves. Like I've said, the elites took this as a slap in the face. The big problem is they not only could, but did and in an historically short time became the most powerful nation in the world with fewer people in poverty than ever in history, outlawing slavery and creating a culture so generous they helped other poor nations. Embarrassing to all those who think the masses should be ruled. Rational elites recognized the reality of the common man rejecting the need of elites to rule them, and that putting Christianity into practice created modern “Western Civilization.” To put the common man back in his place, and take back their rule, they concluded that the root and foundations of this must be destroyed. That is what both the elites of the world, and those cultures that don’t embrace Christianity want, to “Fundamentally Change” the USA.
To hide the fact that it is an attack on Christianity, they started by reframing the debate. The call it Bourgeois culture not Christianity. Look at what BLM is attacking, they are openly calling the values and beliefs of bourgeois culture racist. Saying openly that the American Dream is racist. The Atlantic says the American Dream is a Nightmare. The reality is minority races have more freedom, a better standard of living, and more opportunity in the USA than anywhere in the world, because of, not despite the values of modern western civilization, aka bourgeois culture, or more properly Protestant Christianity.
Two prominent economists (both black) don’t use the term bourgeois culture, or Christianity, or protestant work ethic. But they clearly note that those of all races who embrace the behaviors and values and expectations “white” bourgeois culture, the chances of being poor are slim.
No one can blame a person if he starts out in life poor, because how one starts out is not his fault.
If he stays poor, he is to blame because it is his fault. Avoiding long-term poverty is not rocket science. First, graduate from high school. Second, get married before you have children, and stay married. Third, work at any kind of job, even one that starts out paying the minimum wage. And finally, avoid engaging in criminal behavior. It turns out that a married couple, each earning the minimum wage, would earn an annual combined income of $30,000(ed. twice the poverty level at the time it was written)..
To be clear, attacks by BLM attacks from Hollywood, are attacks on Christianity from both the top and the bottom. They are attacks on the middle class, which was created by embracing The Christ and humbly living by the words of Jesus and his disciples. Christianity calls for the people to takes care of the widows and orphans (the truly needy) but it also teaches that he who won’t work shall not eat. They not only don’t don’t understand Christian Middle Class culture they hate it. The top doesn’t what to have to voluntarily give their riches to take care of others who they believe should serve them, much less share in their moral values. Much of the bottom believes that it is chance, luck, or spite, not the ability, drive, and behavior of people that makes people prosperous or not. Both the top and the bottom don’t want to have to be held to bourgeois values, as they embrace not only the protestant work ethic, but expectations of charity, and morality.
Embracing the American Dream includes embracing traditional middle class values and beliefs. Not all cultures accept these beliefs, and not having traditional protestant values does not bean a people or culture cannot be Christian, or good, or moral, or is better or inferior, different cultures are just that, different. What it does mean, as history has repeatedly shown, is that you cannot live in peace within a different culture that expects you to share those values.
God separated man by tribe and language creating a very diverse humanity. He created nations of people who were different. Never in all of history have tribes (nations) been able to live together in peace. That’s probably one of the reasons why He separated them. You and I are confused and don’t understand how other cultures can believe and value what they believe and value (hence the meaning of the word babel). The white protestants who settled the USA, could not and did not adopt Native American Culture. In fact we crushed that culture and tried to change the Indian tribes to adopt our culture. Now only a fraction of it exists today. 300+ years of Native American and northern white Europeans living together has not created a single culture, it never will. It was hubris and sinful for Christian men to try and unify what God separated. Globalists today ignore all of human history and continue to try and undo God’s work, with similar results. Invading masses of people migrating to other places never adopt the native culture, they crush it, and force it to comply with theirs.
It was a subset of Europeans that came to the USA and in reality didn’t form one homogeneous nation and culture. If you grew up and your family was many generations in New England, the people, language, values, and culture visiting Alabama feels foreign to you. People from NYC openly state those from fly over country are “un-cultured,” when reality is because they can’t understand other cultures, they look down on cultures other than their own. The USA started as 6 nations (13 states) held together by a common resistance to the Crown and being controlled by elites. All of which were held together by a common religion, protestant Christianity. The First Amendment exists because no single denomination of Christianity, could or would, be accepted by all the states. Quakers wouldn’t accept Methodism, etc. You know the reason they left England for the new world in the first place. Over time this federation adopted some other nations and is now around 11 nations and is starting to breaking up. Tribes (nations) have never long been able to live together under one rule unless forced, and even then it doesn’t last. Woodard mapped out the regions in his 2012 book "American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America."
Because the bourgeois culture of the American Middle Class is Christian, and the reality that the USA is not one nation with shared language, culture and beliefs, the chances of the USA remaining one country are precisely zero. The white Christian middle has repeatedly turned the other cheek for over half a century, and the current elites and those who don’t embrace the protestant work ethic, are thinking this is weakness, and that they can impose their will on the Christian American Middle Class. Guess what, they are wrong. The Christian American Middle Class is prudent and disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed, but make no mistake We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
God help those ruling elite, BLM, and other leftists aligned against middle America. If they push much more, We the People will withdrawn our consent to their anti-Christian, destructive rule. As it becomes obvious that they are abusing and usurping authority in what appears to be both the pursuit and objective of reducing our government to absolute despotism. We the People will take our Duty seriously and exercise our right to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for our future security. . The patience and suffering of the Christian Middle Class, can only be pushed so far, and others should be afraid if (when) we determine that it is a necessity to alter our current system of government.
We are in the middle of a religious war, Satan has effectively taken control of the elites, the desperation by the exposure of their malfeasance is evident. Openly calling for the confiscation of middle class property and giving it to others who didn’t earn it, is evidence that they will not live in peace with Christian Middle Class America. Because Satan will not quit, the non-Christian elite and poor will not quit, and because We will not reject our God, and because we will not go gently into the night, there will be another Civil War, and it will be even more bloody than the last. It will not be in some distant future, it’s already started in anti-Christian strong holds, aka leftist controlled cities.
Prepare yourself!
