"This whole time I thought that vaccines were the idol they were worshipping. That ain’t it. They are worshipping THEMSELVES. It ain’t Moloch, it’s Narcissus. In the absence of God, the bourgeoisie made THEMSELVES God. And knowing, a priori, that ‘the system made the vaccines and therefore they are good’ is the signifier that ‘I am good and I am God because I am a part of the system.’
"Modernity, class, and empire fused to create the most self-obsessed humans in history. The idolatry we are fighting is Narcissism.
"They don’t worship the vaccine. No, no, that’s outside themselves. They think THEY are God.
"They don’t need to read studies! They don’t care about data! Clinical trials? Pshaw! Gods don’t have to concern themselves with those mundane details because they are the science! They create reality.
"The fact that they can kill millions of people and get away with it proves that they are God. Only God has that power — the power to decide who lives and who dies and not suffer any consequences for their actions. To them, the carnage is proof of their divinity."
-- Dr. Toby Rogers
"Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy.
But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD." Jonah 2:8,9
A few weeks ago, an image went viral. In Belgium a migrant used the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to cook an omelette. For many, the desecration brought to mind a quote from French author Jean Raspail, written in 1973 in his novel Camp of the Saints, about a sudden invasion of Muslim, Indian and African migrants into France:
“Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak door.”
“Beware of two errors: despising the world God sustains, or worshipping the culture He restrains.”
— Abraham Kuyper, Common Grace Vol. 1, Ch. 30
"[Successful NY Mayoral candidate] Mamdani built his campaign on the infrastructure of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA and its city allies can dispatch activists across New York and, with a network of progressive partner organizations, can mobilize young people, get out the vote, and do the work of door-to-door politics.
"We saw this dynamic many times in the twentieth century: socialists rise to power, their policies degrade the quality of life, and, as they enter the endgame, they tighten their grip on power and offload resentments onto their ideological, racial, and economic enemies.
"...the twentieth century taught us that left-wing voters have extraordinary defenses against reality."
-- Christopher Rufo
