A Soup of Evil

There is something evil afoot. That’s not a unique statement in these times, but it’s the first time I’ve made it. It’s the first time I’ve felt like the forces of evil were not just scattered bits that could and would be censored out of society by the sheer revolting nature of their suggestions. It used to be good enough, in America, that when you spoke of admiration for Hitler/Pol Pot/Mao, that most people would stop listening to you. It was a sort of rudimentary canceling of its own, a stumbling block to the evil that would come later. 

The past forty years have seen a method of canceling the cancelers. In other words, if one spoke out against evil, they were canceled, shunned, ridiculed. This was brought about by the ability of far-left groups to get a stronghold in labor unions and use them first to normalize communist principles and later things like CRT. To most people in the unions, it was a little compromise for better wages, better health insurance. I never worked for a union and I had both of those things my whole life, but unions sold themselves as the only means to secure better benefits. A little Marxism for better capitalism. It worked.
