Z-Man gets to where Solzhenitsyn was.
...The truth is, the truly woke understand that the current crisis is not a
dispute between tribes or a dispute about facts. It is a moral war
where one side controls the moral paradigm and imposes their will on the
rest of us, in the teeth of objective reality. The current fight is
about control of public morality, not public institutions. Facts and
reason only play a supporting role in this fight. Being right on the
facts helps win respect, thus giving one moral capital. The point of the
game being to define public morality....
There's a "pathway" to moral understandings:
...We naturally trust the people close to us first and then to the
people who seem to share our interests and then the people who look and
sound like us. It is what Steve Sailer calls the circles of trust. We
will embrace the morality of our kin over the morality of strangers,
even when those strangers rule over us....
Loosely speaking, these are the small organizations Russell Kirk admires. You could say 'family, church, township' as a substitute for 'close to us,' 'share our interests,' (etc.) It's not a precise parallel, but it's close. You'll see another iteration in the following passage:
...Over the last several generations, the people who now rule over us
have used every weapon in their arsenal to break up our circles of
loyalty. The war on families, communities, schools, the sexes, are all
part of an instinctive strategy to break the natural bonds of loyalty
that form public morality. It’s why having the facts on our side has
never meant a damn in political debates. A deracinated public,
untethered from its traditions and alienated from its neighbors,
inevitably accepts the morality of the ruling elites....
Z-Man missed one VERY important element here: that this War is also fought against Churches. It is principally fought against the Roman Catholic Church--but that Church is often a proxy for any other orthodox religion which condemns abortion, homosex "marriage," and sex-without-children, marital or not-marital.
The Left's moral pretentiousness is without limit, just like its (consequent) hypocrisy. That's why they can be called out on such bullshit as "White Privilege"--because when they are, they run away.
So. Fight the Moral War!!
