Not only does human slaughter of the fruit of a woman’s womb promote the idea that we are disposable, but a people’s will to stand up to such a standard order of daily business is stifled through its information modes of content production.
- What does the latter mean? and how important is a critically thinking, open-minded individual who is God-centered to a local, national, and global community?
- Why would such characteristics in an individual be considered outright dangerous by a prevailing political order?
This type of individual can be found anywhere in the world, irrespective of ethnicity, race, or language, but not regardless of submission to the the true Lord of Lords, God Almighty. It requires altruism, time, and an investment of spiritual energy in a concerted way. We must become as if we were political scientist, listening, observing, watching and seeking to understand how culture is created, how governments interact with one another, with the citizenry, how people practice democracy (and how they don’t). Critical thinkers make time to think and study how local social order motivates national and global order, and how these macro movements, in turn influence the local, individual life.
As it be, the average individual in the United States of America is not raised to be a critical thinker and active participant of maintaining democracy fresh and vibrant, but is raised up to be trained in the main academic subject matters of grade school, and prompted to seek specific employment, if not stepping forward to attain a liberal arts educational understanding of the world. For those who go on to graduate school, professional development is furthered with specific knowledge in a field of study. At no point is the valuing of critical thinking developed directly, and so the following happens through default:
People become work-focused, information receivers who are not active participants in democracy, but followers of a hierarchical system of governance that places informational content-creators from established organizations and corporations that espouse a leftist-leaning political ideology. The problem with this is that it does not create leaders, but followers. The glut of information directed at the average individual far exceeds the information they create using the same modes of production, meaning, social media platforms, television, radio, and academic information distribution channels are mostly a one-way street. At this point in time, the desensitizing of people’s minds and hearts is so pervasive that national complacency on actively participating in the daily shaping of democracy is an established social order construct difficult to break free from.
Our military soldiers, our veterans, our police men and women who serve day and night, these are not the first line of defense, nor the most important upholders of democracy, but it is the regular civilian (you and me), that determines the pace and kind of democracy we are to have. Regular Americans are the first line of defense, and all the day long we are trained and cajoled to abdicate our power in acquiescence to the hierarchical social-economic-political present reality.
It has become then, that our democracy is a mirage, and up for sale every day that we shirk our responsibility to practice critical thinking, and determined advocacy on the values that the United States of America was founded upon. We have become a people under control through distraction and division. Our human rights are set aside as we stand before the daily human sacrifice of 2,500 children cut up, vacuumed, burned and violently extracted from the womb of our women. In such ways we have cheapened ourselves, and in such manner the Lord will one day enter in all his magnificence and glory and ask us what we have done.
