Denial is one of the key tactics I notice for those on the Left.

When almost everyone - including Christian leaders - were running about saying we can't let this change us, he said we desperately needed to let it change us. There were plenty of things needing changed. Sadly, the things we should have changed we didn't, and things that had no business being changed were changed -for the worse.

It was like hearing a guy say "I hate my wife," but not believing him until she gets beat up in the street and the guy says, "Ah, she deserves it."Arkanabar T'verrick Ilarsadinhttps://arkanabar.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-88871324038289395322021-07-04T14:16:34.767-04:002021-07-04T14:16:34.767-04:00I think we crossed the point of no return just aft...I think we crossed the point of no return just after 9/11. From a spiritual perspective, that was a wake-up call we refused to heed. From a more secular perspective, this is about the time when the Internet became a dominant force in Western culture, bringing with it a wave of pornography and the very mixed blessings of social media. Even without the Internet, we would still be seeing some long neglected problems in fundamental morality, in education, in the economy, and in immigration reach a crisis point at almost the same time, but Twitter was perhaps the fatal blow.
