Atheistic Leftist Politics Exposed & Deconstructed

[fionadp · 10/10 · 30 April 2017]

This film is quite disturbing it exposes the degeneration of our Western culture.It specifically focuses on the so called progressive movement and shows us how progressive educators have impacted the US educational system and turned colleges into places where radical ideological indoctrination takes place.Colleges and Universities are not effective with regard to fostering critical thinking skills.The young people in this documentary were unable to think critically about and analyze Doug Wilson's arguments on ethical decision making because they were functioning at a low cognitive level, due to the politically biased teaching they had been subjected to.

Dumbed down liberal progressives are unthinkingly throwing away traditional boundaries and norms like they are garbage.Dissenters are routinely taken to court,boycotted,demonized 're educated',and/or destroyed, as seen in the interview with the owners of a Christian bakers who were fined $150,000 for refusing to bake a same sex wedding cake. These extremist leftist conceited zealots think they are doing something new and exciting by rebelliously overthrowing oppression (normality) when in reality they are ignorantly shattering something precious and essential to humanity. The bunch of college students who disrupted Doug Wilson's rationally presented lecture on traditional values because they interpreted it as nothing more than despicable hate speech seemed deranged.This lecture theater debacle shows us how the progressive cause has turned into a vicious form of fascism that doesn't want disagreement to have a voice.

An interesting look at the other side even if I don't quite agree with either.

Media coverage has always cherry picked or simply omitted the side of the story they find inconvenient, which is why Kinsey's bad science has stood for so long, anything convenient to the narrative has always been excused. From Margaret Mead to Jared Diamond, excuse and license narratives have been given the veneer of science to the lefts social agenda, but it has never stood up to scrutiny.

Its amusing that the counter argument frames the alphabet agenda as a religion, accidental honesty there for you.

Both sides tend to distort science, the creationist denies evolution while the alphabet agenda denies biology and its inconvenient conclusions which frankly are damning as aberrant spiteful mutants not only undermine the health of themselves but of the groups they influence. Fertility rates spell out the dysfunction of their agenda and lifestyle.

What was said about the myth of the civil war was correct. More americans died in that war as a proportion than did in world war 2. In fact scaled for population, 6 times more americans died during the civil war than did in world war 2, most americans don't understand this, its been quietly hidden in favor of the endless fixation on ww2. This level of death left and indelible scar on society, which has effects to this very day, but since the union won, we are made to believe this myth of a moral war, when the reality is it didn't need to be that way.

In recent years we've been made to understand that tolerance isn't enough, the demand is now unreserved celebration of their lifestyles or face ostracization. The atheist skeptics laughed about slippery slopes, but the slippery slopes have been proven true.

So really the religious undermine themselves by arguing against evolution as religion itself co-evolved with humans because it enhanced the fitness of the groups which adopted it. All attempts to escape from that reality have been self deception. The protesters don't understand that they are merely a mutation of what they claim to fight against, their behavior is just group reaffirmation of faith. The difference being that their faith has not been validated by evolution over thousands of years, very far from it.

The book burning level censorship pushed by the modern left is dangerous to an accurate understanding of the world, so currently I have to stand with the people who will be a thorn in their side. The modern left fears speech and debate because at the end of the day, they have no confidence in their ideas, their ideology has become a mountain of fragile contradictions.

Douglas Wilson strikes back

This documentary shows what our country is turning into and what we are starting to lose, our free speech. No longer can someone stand in public and denounce homosexual behavior without it being called "hate speech". The anger and complete intolerance of the Indiana University students makes it clear that they aren't interested in tolerance. Doug makes a great point that these laws and intolerance against "hate speech" are just repackaged blasphemy laws. We do live in a theocracy only instead of a government that worships God we instead worship the people, and right now it is blasphemy to the people of this nation to defame the great name of homosexuality.

Doug makes another great point near the end of the film when talking about how our nation has thrown the Christian world view into the proverbial dump while not realizing that the freedom of speech came about from the Christian world view and that free speech is going to go away with the rejection of the Christian world view. "If you've ever used your freedom of speech, thank a Christian." I also like Doug's optimistic post millennium view and at the end of the day we know that despite everything Jesus still is reigning and in control. No Lord but Christ!! Soli Deo Gloria!!

A Reflection on Tolerance and a Plea for Freedom

[halseyad · 10/10 · 23 November 2016]

The Free Speech Apocalypse shows how our accusatory culture stifles honest debate and conversation through unruly behavior and narrow-mindedness. However, it also projects a spirit of optimism for a future that will regain its sanity through God's redemptive work.

The producer/s do a phenomenal job of highlighting the irrational response the IU students displayed during Mr. Wilson's visit. It was clearly evident that they did not come to consider ideas but to stop another person from speaking and conversing on an interesting topic. This singular example is indicative of a wide-spread issue at multiple other "higher" educational facilities around the country. I know that others like Ben Shapiro have ran into strong protest for considering ideas contrary to the mainstream, and opposition to public speakers is only the tip of the iceberg. Many issues have been reported by Campus Reform and other news outlets ranging from university faculty being fired for holding unpopular beliefs to mandated censorship of clubs and activities.

The most thought provoking discussion in the film arises when Mr. Wilson is asked whether or not he believes the Civil War was a good thing or not. He lays out solid argument for why Americans should view the Civil War in a different light and the implications it created for a nation wrestling with the debate of federal vs state power.

I would recommend this to anyone. However, I would emphasis it to college/high school aged students who are in the middle of this battle between Freedom and "Tolerance" and want to be encouraged.

WAKE UP, America

Just watched this. Wowza. It felt like a war documentary fused with over-the-top political satire---but satire it ain't.

You want to matter in the culture war? Be up on the issues here. You want a swathe to cut through all the twisted, hypocritical, self-worshipping garbage about abortion, gay mirage (not a typo), and so-called tolerance? Sharpen your blade with the Free Speech Apocalypse.

You'll watch brave men and women like Douglas Wilson, Kim Davis, and Aaron & Melissa Klein (of Sweet Cakes) stand up to the tolerance buzz saw (yeah, that one) with precisely the kind of winsome moxie that has inspired reformation and revival in years past and countries far and wide.

Join the ranks. You can't go wrong. God will bless this. How? Don't know yet. But He will. Because (spoiler) the good guys always win.

Take 90 minutes. Watch.

The pendulum at full clip

Great job of showing how the extremes of both liberal and conservative ideologies are destined to behead one another. To which I say: "Carry On!

Minus two stars only due to the feeling I got that this was intended to further the religious right's cause which, in my opinion, makes it a propaganda job parading as patriotism. Also the 15 seconds of Ted Cruz towards the end made me throw up in my mouth just a little, okay I had to change my shirt after all.
