Cultural Marxism: A Warning From The Wisdom Of The Ages
Sometimes vicious cycles can be broken – if we heed the warning of ancient wisdom.

Most of our past is lost to time, but some stories are told and retold for thousands of years because they transmit timeless wisdom. One of these stories is from Norse mythology and plays out before our eyes in the form of cultural Marxism.

Balder’s Death
In one of the Norse myths, Balder, the son of Odin and Frigg, had horrible dreams and premonitions of his death. Frigg wanted to protect him and asked every object in the world to swear that they would not harm Balder. It meant that he became invulnerable, and the gods amused themselves by shooting with bows and arrows at him, knowing he would never be hurt.

The mischievous demi-god Loki was so envious of Balder that he disguised as a woman and lured Frigg into revealing that there was a young mistletoe growing west of Valhalla that she had not asked to swear an oath to spare Balder. Upon learning this, Loki sought out the mistletoe and carved it into an arrow. He asked Balder’s blind brother Hod to shoot at Balder with it, instantly killing him.

Loki blamed Frigg for fooling people into believing Balder was invulnerable when it was untrue. Therefore, Odin spared his life, and Frigg was humiliated for causing Balder’s death.

Although the story of Balder’s death parallels many other known myths, such as the death of Achilles, it is unique in how it concisely describes the underlying causes. Three psychological ingredients were necessary: envy, hubris, and sloth. Envy drives the antagonist Loki, but he would never have succeeded if the gods had not arrogantly played the dangerous game of shooting at Balder because they assumed he was invulnerable. Frigg is also to blame for her carelessness for not being properly vigilant in her role as the protector of Balder.

Loki - cultural Marxism

This story spells out how so many civilizations are killed. When they are at their strongest, they seem invulnerable. Therefore, many people start arrogantly doing a sport out of criticizing it for all its faults, be they systemic racism, misogyny, transphobia, or some other great sin. Those who are supposed to be the protectors of the civilization fall asleep and let the maliciously envious use the sport to try to kill society. Sometimes they succeed.

Cultural Marxism
The antagonist that plays the role of Loki in the West is cultural Marxism expressed through postmodernism and the Frankfurt school. The primary theory of the Frankfurt School is named after the strategy of relentlessly attacking the West to kill it. It is called critical theory, and one famous strain is critical race theory. It is so named because its purpose is only to attack and criticize to demoralize and kill the spirit of the West, draining it of its will to live and courage to defend itself.

Those elected to defend America and the Constitution didn’t see it fit to prevent the venom of cultural Marxism from making its way into the education system. American culture is strong, but its mistletoe is education. Americans who believe in liberty are leaving their precious children in the hands of Marxists who hate America and attempt to fill their hearts and minds with ideas that will kill this great civilization if allowed to fester.

Heed The Warning
Due to overconfidence and carelessness, America has allowed public education to be captured by the cultural Marxists. However, there are options for parents, such as homeschooling. Ancient wisdom tells us that America is in mortal danger due to relentless attacks on the core values upon which the nation is built. History often repeats, but such wisdom allows us sometimes to break those cycles of civilization death – if we heed the warning.
