In this video, the narrator points out some of the reasons why some of our political friends are unable to see the very deception that stands right in front of them.
At the end of the day, the government won’t even be able to save itself, much less save anything or anybody else.
Critical thinking is important and no free passes should be given out to any ideology.
People who say that the government is the new god are usually pointing to a pattern, not a theology class:
-
- The state claims a monopoly on legitimate force (Weber). That is unique. Churches and families do not get to imprison you.
- People look to government for salvation from risk: poverty, illness, disaster, loneliness, even wrong opinions.
- Civic ritual starts to look liturgical: flags, anthems, founding documents as scripture, leaders as redeemers, heresy as extremism.
- Moral language migrates from sin/virtue to policy/compliance.
