I'm not young, and my health is not good, so I think I will live another 10 years (or maybe a little more) at best, and it pains me that almost, almost everywhere I look, I see degenerate things which attack our culture, our life, you know the drill.
What do you think, will I-we see a turning back to normal life, or is this just a hopeless dream?
Thanks in advance, and I wish every user of kotakuinaction2.win a happy, healthy 2022!
I think you've got a solid analysis of the left's direction. Liberation Theology and the solidification of "Woke" into a secular religion seems very possible. In a lot of ways, it's the inevitable result of the earlier Liberal Super-Protestantism and Universalism of the 20th century: a religion robbed of its cultural root-- Christianity without an understanding of Christ.
What I am not sure is how big that 'tent on the right' has to be. Perversely, I think the core element of the right's rebirth must be quite narrow if it's to succeed.
If we get a 4th Great Awakening, the majority of Christian churches have been at least partially converged-- so even if a preference cascade in rejection of wokists/liberation theology causes a societal movement to the right, the odds of the nexus of that mass movement being corrupted by some flavor of neo-marxist social-justice nonsense will be high.
A narrower range of followers, with a strong gatekeeping mechanism, might actually allow the development of an appropriate spiritual response to the woke... but I worry that the usual cultural actors will be looking to Scofield any actual Awakening.
I don't really know either. That's gonna be up for debate. I can only assume that since "right" really means nothing more than "not Left", that tent is going to be pretty big. However, who actually sets the principles behind this right-wing Neo-Protestantism is still up in the air. I'm serious when I say that I may live to see a day where Jordan Peterson is canonized.
