Jordan Peterson & Rev. McAtee Detail the Cultural Marxists Accusations Against Western Man

Jordan Peterson recently summarized the contest that the West now faces against wickedness in high places. I have repeated that here with a few additions and emendations of my own.

The governing ideology in the West right now characterized as Cultural Marxism has these three explicit accusations that drive their whole worldview agenda;

Accusation #1 —  Human culture, particularly in the West is best construed as an oppressive patriarchy motivated by the desire, willingness, and ability to use power defined as the compulsion of others against their will to attain what are purely selfish and self serving ends.

Note here that Biblical patriarchy is explicitly taught in Scripture as God’s order for all societies. As such this accusation is an accusation against God that God has structured the world wrongly.

Now, certainly we can agree that satanic patriarchy breeds oppressiveness and is animated by the sinful use of power to wrongly treat others to gain purely self and self serving ends. However, the answer to satanic patriarchy is not satanic matriarchy or satanic egalitarianism. The answer to satanic patriarchy is Christian patriarchy. The need of the hour for the West is Biblical patriarchy that is motivated by the desire, willingness, and ability to use power defined as the compulsion to serve God and so serve mankind to the end of glorifying God and building beautiful culture.

The ironic thing about this accusation of the Cultural Marxists is that they are using this accusation as a guilt inducing tool wielded by egalitarians who hate all patriarchy with the purpose, desire, willingness, and ability to use their power — defined as the compulsion of others against their will — to attain what are purely selfish, self serving and Satanic ends. The Cultural Marxists are accusing Christians what they themselves are guilty of. This is a classical Alinksyite move.

The Cultural Marxist use as examples for their accusation all social order realities. The Cultural Marxists insist that marriage is just a form of slavery, that friendship is just a form of exploitation, that Christianity is just a form of wicked domination, that a free Market is just a form of deception and theft and that political disagreement has always been just a pretext for war.

The Cultural Marxist historian then runs all of contemporary history  through this prism so that all of world history is seen to be the result of this oppressive patriarchy and its use of power to compel others for selfish ends particularly as pursued by the White Christian male.

Accusation #2 — Human activity, particularly of that in the West, is fundamentally a planet despoiling enterprise.

Of course this accounts for the multi-decade Malthusian hyper-ventilating about Global Warming (later Global climate change). Since the 1970’s when TIME magazine following Paul Ehrilich’s chicken little warnings about the end of the world due to the new coming ice age to the more recent warnings about the polar ice caps melting Cultural Marxists have playing this tune relentlessly.  This accounts for the Alexandria Occasional Cortex and “the Squads” demand for a Green New Deal. This accounts for the silliness that is electric cars and the effort to destroy the fossil fuel industry thus returning the West and all mankind back to energy-diminished stone age like existence. This thinking is behind the United Nations Agenda 2030 and is used as a red herring for Klaus “I can’t believe they believe me” Schwab’s “Great Reset.”   This accusation accounts for Biden’s mad spending plans on mass transit as mass transit promises to get people out of their cars resulting in the packing of people into urban centers as living in rural America is too expensive with gas at exorbitant prices.

This second accusation presupposes that the Human race is a threat to the attainment of ecological utopia that existed prior to the human population explosion and the ecological utopia that might again exist if we can just get a serious population reduction.

The Cultural Marxist is arguing that man, by his building of his industry across the planet has initiated a Global Climate change threat that requires the Malthusian directed reduction of man’s carbon footprint so that the planet doesn’t implode from man’s polluting presence.

Accusation #3 —  The prime contributor that makes up the tyranny of both the oppressive patriarchy and structures all of our social interaction — past and present — and the unforgivable despoiling of our beloved mother earth is damnable Christian white male ambition that is competitive, dominating, power mad, selfish, exploitive, and is further characterized by a continual raping and pillaging of all that it comes in contact with.

Peterson here combines Accusation #1 and #2 into a synthesis category. The bottom line is that it is the Christian white male who is guilty of all that is wrong with the world and as such it is the Christian white male especially of all people who must be exterminated like cockroaches at a wedding feast.
