Two (Not so) Incredible Lies

Posted: February 23, 2022 by datechguy in Uncategorized

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and am here; I did not come on my own, but he sent me. Why do you not understand what I am saying? Because you cannot bear to hear my word.

You belong to your father the devil and you willingly carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

But because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.

John 8:42-45

One of the side effects of a post Christian Society is the ability to lie with impunity. I saw two incredible examples of that in the last 12 hours when I got home from work.

Example one Trudeau stands up against Fascism:

That he can say this given how he is treating his own people is about as amazing as it gets. Canadians by the thousands must have spat out their beer as they heard him say iit but it terms of a false meme the US media is doing it’s best to out do him.

As Ed Driscoll put it the burred lede is  VLADIMIR PUTIN INVENTS TIME TRAVEL!

I guess once your credibility is already gone it doesn’t matter what you actually say as long as you’re still paid.

There was a time when such statements would be so incredible as to not be possible but in a Post Christian Society you will find that such statement and worse will be the norm.

Wolf Democracy In Canada

There are a lot of depressing things coming out of Canada lately. The most depressing was the vote yesterday where the lower house of Parliament allowed Trudeau to extend their emergency powers.

This was particularly depressing because he has a minority government and he needed the help of other parties to get what he wanted and he got that help from the NDP party. But even that wasn’t the most depressing thing.

The most depressing thing was this speech in support of this measure by the NDP leader:

In his statement pledging support for the Trudeau government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh stated that while he was happy for these extraordinary powers to be used against the truckers protesting in Ottawa, they must never be used against “Indigenous land defenders, climate change activists, workers fighting for fairness.”

You see he’s not against slavery or tyranny, as long as he’s gets to say who gets whipped.

This is the classic tale of two wolves and a sheep democratically voting on what they will have for dinner and its disgraceful.

That being said if Canadians want to vote themselves into tyranny they can do so, I suspect they will find it a lot harder to vote themselves out of it.

The Mask is the left’s Golden Calf

The first effect of not believing in God is to believe in anything: 

Emile Cammaerts, paraphrasing Chesterton

PJ Media wrote the post I’ve been meaning to write for weeks:

Seitz-Wald is correct. Urban Democrats especially have taken mask-wearing to a whole other level, making the kind of mask you wear sort of like gang colors. That’s not an easy identifier to lose under any circumstances.

Beyond that, masks always gave liberals a sense of superiority over the “rubes” in flyover country. They “followed the science” — until the science said something else and then they simply pretended it didn’t and continued to mask up.

Now they’re fighting a rearguard action to keep the emergency going. On one level, it’s truly pathetic. Finding meaning in life by wearing a mask proves Thoreau’s point of the “mass of men living lives of quiet desperation.”

But losing the mask also denotes losing control of the rest of us. For a left-wing authoritarian, that’s got to hurt.

You see the reason why they call it “virtue signaling” is that you’re just sending a signal, you don’t have to practice actual virtue and for the left the Mask has become the ultimate in virtue signaling. All it takes is to see that piece of cloth around one’s face and viola not only can you show you are of the right groupthink but you can identify others who are with you.

Much easier than those Christian virtues, of charity, faith, hope and the pesky business of loving your neighbor, particularly your enemies

Here is the MSNBC quote:

Masks are the left’s latest golden calf and it will be just as merciful a god as the first one was.

Five More Canada Tyranny Thoughts Under the Fedora

Posted: February 20, 2022 by datechguy in Uncategorized

How much longer do you think it will be before Trudeau’s Canada decides to deny the use of their national healthcare system to the Truckers and those who supported them?

Canada is one of the side effects of a post Christian Society. When you no longer have to love your enemies and no longer fear hell it’s amazing what a person is willing to do.

There was a tic tock video about starving out NYC and that reminded me of something. Cities are not by their nature self supporting in terms of food. If you have 200,000 people you need a ton of food trucked in every day to feed and support them. Obviously the tuckers have not cut off said supplies but I’m wondering what will happen if they continue to be pushed.

The folks at Red State made a great point, the threat to go after supporters of the Truckers long after this is all over removes any incentive for them to back down. This is an elementary fact.

One of the things I’ve pointed out before is that Trudeau and the Ottawa police are much more willing to move in on these truckers because they know that unlike how they are being portrayed, they are not in fact violent thugs so their lives and safety are not in danger when they do so. What will happen if they reach the point where they decide: ” If you’re going to treat us like violent terrorists no matter what we might as well go down as wolves rather than sheep.” I half think that’s the Trudeau government’s goal to push them over the line so they can kill them with a clear conscience.

One bonus thought: This is a reminder that freedom is not the natural state of man, foraging and starvation is and western civilization and capitalism, both tempered by Christianity are the primary reason why America and Europe have lived as we have for so long. Chesterton’s Fence argument is coming home to roost but that’s for a longer post.
