Woke book-burning

[Michie]

This Forum is a place for respectful discussion and debate of political issues, by Roman Catholics, in the context of the Roman Catholic Faith.

A Canadian school board burned 30 ‘problematic’ books. Are you scared yet?

There’s a new phrase in the woke lexicon, and it might just be the most chilling one yet. Flame purification. You don’t need a PhD in linguistics to guess what this means, to figure out what kind of act is being referred to with this positively medieval phrase. It’s book-burning. Woke book-burning. Yes, the self-selected guardians of correct thought, the neo-priestly elites of political correctness, are now purging problematic literature with fire, purifying public life with the flames of their woke fury. They’re not even hiding it anymore. They’re proud of it. ‘We’re off to do some flame purification’, they’re essentially saying.

They become more like the Nazis they accuse everyone else of every single day. So blind.

They're all just getting started. The next phase if they follow their forefathers is to attack those with opposing views, to other them, more intensely than they already have been doing. Here in the U.S., the narrative is that extremists are homegrown and not imported.

Make sure you have a safe place to hide your Bibles, catechisms, devotionals, and prayer books----they'll be coming after those next.

After all, can you possibly find a more racist text than the Bible? All that talk about "chosen people" and such?

Beware thou of the unwoken! Yea, they do corrupt the weak, and verily spread their evil across the land; ye shall root out and destroy them from amongst you, for I am the LORD, saith the New York Times.

All this book-burning, statue-destroying, re-naming of streets, etc., etc., boils down to one thing: the culture is beginning to turn on itself. And if those leftist idiots took the time to read some of those books instead of burning them, they'd discover that history has proven time and again that any culture which turns on itself doesn't have much longer to go.

The West will not be conquered from the outside; it will destroy itself, from within, through immoral rot. The question is, what will replace it? My guess is that China will become ascendant and control the developed parts of the world---North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan; and the lesser developed world---Africa, south Asia, the Middle East---will be dominated by Islam, with China's permission, of course.
