Dostoevsky & McAtee on Egalitarianism

The radical declares,

“Everyone belongs to all, and all belongs to everyone. All are slaves and equal in their slavery… Slaves are bound to be equal. Without despotism there has never been either freedom or equality, but in the herd there is bound to be equality…. The moment you have family ties or love you get the desire for property. We will destroy that desire; we’ll make use of drunkenness, slander, spying; we’ll make use of incredible corruption; we’ll stifle every genius in its infancy. We’ll reduce all to a common denominator!

Complete equality!”

The Possessed
Fydor Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky was a 19th century Russian writer who explored the human psyche, particularly as that psyche was conditioned by ideology and religion. In the quote above we find that Dostoevsky understood the nascent proto-Marxist type ideology which he believed were Demon like ideas from Western Europe that was possessing Russia.

It is interesting that even in 1873 Russia, Dostoevsky could identify the heart of collectivism that remains with us yet today. Dostoevsky understood that the end of equality, absolutized, is slavery….

Without Biblical distinctions regarding gender, roles, racial/ethnic groups, and authority structure, we will be amalgamated into the herd reality that Dostoevsky warns about. It will be a herd reality where a few elites are, in essence, the Farmers over the undistinguished and undifferentiated mass herd. Those who advocate complete equality in terms of “equality of identity” are the enemy and they are the enemy because Scripture identifies them as such. They are the enemy who overthrow the 5th commandment where a distinction and hierarchy of parents is required before they can be honored. They are the enemy who overthrow the great commission where a distinction of nations is required before those nations can be baptized, discipled and taught to observe all things taught by Christ. They are the enemy who overthrow Galatians 3:28 where a existing distinction between Jews and Gentiles, Slave and Free, Men and Women, must exist before there can be comforted that all can be justified in Christ. They are the enemy who overthrow the 9th commandment where a distinction must exist between what is my property and what is not my property before any forbidding of theft can make sense. Egalitarianism is the enemy and egalitarians are the enemy precisely because their egalitarianism strikes at the heart of God’s revelation. Keep in mind that the ultimate goal of the Father of egalitarianism is to erase the distinction and hierarchy between the Creator and the creature. They desire to make God and man a common denominator. That is the ultimate distinction that is under attack in all of these penultimate battles.

There Is No Loyal Opposition

“Even when Asquith and Balfour were leaders of supposedly diametrically opposed parties, Balfour regularly dined with the Asquiths. He frequently joked that he had champagne dinners at Asquith’s before going on to the House of Commons to verbally attack his host. Ludicrous as this was, it served to highlight the hypocrisy of their public altercations in Parliament, where in matters relating to Secret Elite policy they supped from the same bowl.”

Docherty & MacGregor
Hidden History — pg. 100

Understand that what is being said here is that at the turn of the 20th century it didn’t matter if you voted Liberal Asquith or Conservative Balfour you were going to get the same policy where it mattered most because the International Money Interest were pulling the strings of each.

Thus, it is easy to see that the same remains true today when considering Republican or Democrat. On the issues that matter most and on those issues that people gnash their teeth over one can be sure that those are being controlled by the International Money Interest and it is irrelevant what politicians are seated in what positions.

This ought to be obvious with Trump’s behavior. He campaigned and ran on one set of promises but once he achieved office, he reverted to the same old Liberal / Neo-con playbook. More war. More inflation. Less emphasis on deporting tens of millions of people. Now we have censorship and greater surveillance on the horizon.

I get to say … “I told you so.” I told people that Trump was not any different than those who went before him. This is why voting doesn’t matter unless you think voting for who gets to be the figure-head matters. It is inconsequential in the end who gets elected. They are all run by the money interest. They are all bought and paid for by the Jews. As the quote indicates that has been true for over 100 years now.

WOKE Has Given Us Gender Neutral “Theybies” …. Baptists Have Long Given Us Religious Neutral Babies

“Theybies” (Rhymes with Babies)

Theybies are babies that are being raised in a gender-neutral environment to defend against gender socialization. The purpose of this parenting strategy is to not push children into gender stereotypes or roles and let them choose what to become.

This is merely Baptist thinking continuing on into gender. I mean compare Baptist reasoning to “Theybie” reasoning,

Baptists are those who raise babies in a covenant-neutral environment to defend against their children being raised with the conviction that they are Christian. The purpose of this covenant-less strategy is to not push children into a covenant commitment so to let them choose what to become in terms of their religion.

Quigley On Globalist Technique … FDR Seeking to Apply that Technique

“Their (The mid 20th century Globalists) desire to win over the opposition by cooperation worked with Smuts but failed with Hertzog, worked with Gandhi but failed with Menon, worked with Stresemann but failed with Hitler, and has shown little chance of working with any of the Soviet leader.”

Carroll Quigley
Tragedy & Hope — p. 954

Now, having read the quote above read the quote below in that prism.

“I just have a hunch that Stalin is not that kind of man. Harry [Hopkins] says he’s not and that he doesn’t want anything except security for his own country, and I think that if I give him everything I possibly can and ask nothing from him in return, noblesse oblige, he won’t try to annex anything and will work with me for a world of democracy and peace.”

FDR’s response to advice from Ambassador William C. Bullitt to pursue a containment policy against the Soviet Union (1943)

FDR was certainly the wickedest President in the 20th century.

1.) FDR successfully pushed into the European conflict. This is the policy he pursued, and this is what eventuated.

2.) FDR wanted the Japs to attack Pearl Harbor. He knew they were going to attack Pearl Harbor. He left the door open for them to attack Pearl Harbor. When the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor, they were doing precisely what FDR was praying they would do and had arranged for them to do.

3.) FDR is responsible for the seizure of Eastern Europe by Stalin.

4.) FDR signed off on Stalin’s desire to have Russians returned to Russia for death that had left Russia even prior to the Communists gaining victory in Russia in 1918.

5.) FDR is responsible for operation Keel Haul.

6.) FDR is responsible for the concessions made to Stalin at Teheran and Yalta.

7.) FDR was responsible for the deepening of the Great Depression. His policies pursued, once in office in 1933, guaranteed that the Great Depression would become even greater.

Dabney – You Become What You Worship

“Rome’s saint and angel worship is but baptized paganism, and like all other, it tends to degrade the worshipers. Hence, the importance of the prohibition of idolatry. Nothing but infinite perfection should be the object of religious worship. The reverence and admiration which worship implies invest every quality of the object worshiped with sanctity. Blemishes are always reproduced in the votaries. The worship of an imperfect object is therefore the deification of defects. Rom. 1:25, 26; Ps. 115:8. But the more the worshiper is corrupted, the more degraded will be the divinities which he will construct for himself out of his defiled heart, until the vile descent is realized which St. Paul describes in Rom. 1:22, 23.”
R. L. Dabney
Ch 31 In Dabney’s Systematic Theology

You become what you worship and you worship what you have become.

1.) All of is explanation of why it is of first importance to think well upon and about God. Nobody worships a God that they have not already understood to one degree or another. Doxology presupposes theology. Worship presupposes epistemology. If that isn’t true worshipers are left worshiping an “unknown god” which is still a god known enough to know that while unknown, he must be worshiped.

Do you want to be excellent parents to your children? Then make sure they think long, hard, and well about the God of the Bible. Make sure they learn not only who God is but also see that they learn what the concrete implications are to knowing God. If you want to measure your children’s behavior (or your own) then every time you see misbehavior, ask yourself, “what is it that my child is wrongly thinking and believing about God that is driving that behavior.” After all,

“As a man thinketh in his heart so he is.”

Proverbs 23:7

2.) Worship takes the knowledge of God and hones it to a razor-sharp reality. When we worship, we are grinding even deeper into our character and personality what it is we believe about the God we serve.

 “Those who make them (idols) become like them, and so do all who trust in them.”  Psalm 115:8

This means that if you show me the person, I will tell you about their God.

3.) This idea then flips into cultural considerations. If it is the case that showing me the person allows me insights into the God, they worship then it is also the case that showing me any given culture or subculture allows me insights into the God that culture is reflecting. Culture is, after all, only theology externalized as poured over particular people groups.

4.) Note Dabney’s statement, “blemishes are always reproduced in the votaries.” If any individual, family, church, or culture thinks wrongly about God that blemished thinking will out. Again, this is why we must spend our whole lives checking and re-checking how it is we think about God and what we think about God.

5.) All of this reinforces the idea that theology remains the Queen of the Sciences. What we believe and then worship gets into every other thing we do. What we believe and then worship gets into everything we say, our mannerisms, our priorities, and our relationships. Indeed our whole lives are nothing but lived out theology.

6.) Nobody gets a pass here. Even the Atheist who claims there is no God is animated by what he thinks about the god he denies exists.

7.) When one has a particular culture or people group who become divided amongst themselves on the character and nature of God (as the Wests currently is) the results are explosive. No people can exist as a people without a harmony of conviction on the nature and character of God. Now, those kinds of culture may not articulate their disagreements in quite that way but the fact is that their ownership of different cosmologies as driven by their differences in theology proper accounts for the divisiveness that exists in the culture. Such differences account for what we today call “culture wars.” Where there is no harmony of thought regarding theology there one can eventually expect blood in the streets because two or more gods can never co-exist in the same family, church, or culture.

8.) Of course, if one will not worship and serve the God of the Bible the only other option left is the worship of the creature and that in turn means either anarchy as each man does what is right in his own eyes or it means the tyrannical State, Church, or family as some covenantal hierarchy will seek to take the place as God walking on the earth. If man will not have God, then man will have man as God and man will get man as God, good and hard.

9.) This quote then emphasizes that we worship well. We should think long and hard about what our worship is communicating. Is our worship reflecting the character of the Triune Holy God?

Allow me to suggest that most of the modern Worship in the contemporary West is absolute trash. The sense of majesty is completely gone. The idea that we are meeting with the thrice Holy God has disappeared. The Gospel absolution in the liturgy (if it even exists in a worship service) is not thirsted for any longer because men no longer are convinced how benevolent and gracious God is in taking us for Himself as redeemed sinners in Jesus Christ as wooed by the Holy Spirit.

Our worship today in Protestant churches (exceptions notwithstanding) is just as bad as what Dabney was complaining about in the churches of Rome during His time. (Rome continues to suck as to this issue.)
