Ivory Tower types love to sell us some delightfully contradictory ideas. It’s a big part of why trust in our institutions has been in freefall.
As glaring an example as the ‘trust me bro’ insistance of accepting authoritarian government impulses for our own good might be, there are even bigger ones hiding in plain sight.
The same cognitive dissonance that called us to blindly ‘trust the science’ despite the fact that science by definition is the process of questioning our assumptions and measuring them against evidence gave us our modern attitude toward multiculturalism.
Academia has sold us the lie that every culture in the world is equally valid and good. This same academia has ALSO been selling us the idea that America’s own culture is singularly and uniquely bad. (I trust that even readers of very different political persuasions can see the tension those two statements set up.)
This video is filmed by British actor and documentary filmmaker Ross Kemp. The men being interviewed are from South Africa, but the questions it raises are international.
A couple of men were asked about the dangers of sexual assault… specifically, rape. The conversation took a VERY unexpected turn when it became clear they were viewing the rapist and rather than the victim as the protagonist in this hypothetical(???) question.
Some illegal immigrants have this attitude towards women… they exist just to be raped.

Seeing as extreme sadistic sexual violence also featured prominently in the Hamas attack on Israel in October, it’s worth questioning our own assumptions about the supposed ‘universality’ of civility and morality.
To the extent that people from around the world can look at our system, work within the rules we have established for ourselves, and contribute their own energies to making that system even better and more robust, it has been a success. People from pretty nearly every part of the planet have come to take their place in pursuit of the American dream. They have become valued patriots and neighbors, and God bless them.
Unfortunately, not EVERYONE who comes to a new country brings that kind of a go-along-and-get-along mindset with them. Some bring the worst parts of the culture they came out of… and some of those ‘worst’ parts are pretty damned horrific.
When you or I might imagine the negative consequences of rape, our thoughts would invariably turn to the harm of the victim of the vicious crime… NOT the dangers of being caught, or (worse still) selfish fears of contracting a virus from your victim.
It would be unthinkable for us to imagine how such an encounter might be ‘spoiled’ by having passers-by rush to the victim’s rescue. And take note of the reluctant admission that, just maybe, such an act could have the negative consequence of bringing a fatherless child into the world.
Not a single thought was given for the harm to the person being violated. That can only mean that the victim does not truly rate as a ‘person’ in the imagination of the would-be perpetrator. That is a dangerous attitude for ANYONE to have of another human being.
That kind of dehumanization is the basis for justifying unspeakable acts of violence.
Much is made of supposedly irrational ‘phobias’ either of certain militant poitical and religious sects, or of people from cultures very different from our own with ZERO interest to assimilate.
Conversations like the one in this video remind us that white, black, brown, or green, (you get the idea) not everyone is working on the same sets of moral values.
Joe Biden has been smug about how white people might soon become a minority. He is missing the point. It isn’t the loss of predominant color that could be dangerous to America, it’s the loss of our predominant culture.
America was first forged, anchored in a culture that was profoundly moral and law-abiding. The rights we enjoyed existed within a particular context. When someone — even the government — wronged us, citizens had legal recourse.
None of those things are compatible with a culture that can speak flippantly about sexually violating a stranger for personal gratification.
Videos like this one remind us how the American ‘melting pot’ serves a very real and important purpose.
John The Baptist: A Rude Awakening Precedes A Great Awakening.
This timely little tome chronicles the politically incorrect ministry of one of God’s most effective wildmen, John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Christ’s ministry.
The abrasive message of repentance John preached 2000 years ago is still confrontational and offensive today — but it is also life-changing.
In our putrid, worldly culture that has turned away from God, this book is a must-read for every Christian.
Available in paperback for those of you who like the feel of the pages in your hot, little hands, on Kindle to keep it right at your fingertips, and as an epic Audiobook.
