Ignorant Armies

All these empty ravings from ignorant minds about fighting for 'democracy and freedom' in Ukraine leading ignorant armies. 

Blech.

Reminds me of Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold. 

Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.

Onto your fight for 'democracy' as you wallow obediently in an abyss of mandates enslaving your mind and health. 

The poem was cited in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. A book that seems more important than ever during these mad, anti-intellectual censorious times. It's the 'apathy of the masses' that create the atmosphere as he put it. And here we are.....complete censorship of opposing Covid views of the 'official' narrative (the book burners) and unhinged social justice/political correctness/wokism run amok. 

Our obedience and complicity and outright hostility to independent thought (he wants freedom! Get him!) is a path to our own demise. There is no greater face of this sickness and malaise than Justin Trudeau. 

No wonder they want to 'burn' any opinions.

The survivors at the end of the story represent rebirth. We must take hope in this. 

When the Covid hysterics (book burning) dies and the Ukraine (war as distraction) pass we will need to reform and rebuild. And not in the way the elites have in mind.

We will have to do it in the spirt of the American Fouding Fathers with FREEDOM at the centre of it all.

The Phoenix will be reborn.
