Man’s New Laws versus Nature’s Old Truths

Guess who is going to win.

SO, from where, and why, does new law and new interpretations of the law originate? (ILLUSTRATION: Imported predators are becoming more common in the Everglades, and their spread is one of thousands of symptoms of our alienation.)

There is an in-depth consideration of the subject from both the ideological motivations of the elite and the reaction of the average consumer.

For brevity’s sake lets take a thumbnail sketch of the consumer reaction side.

Why did the Supreme Court rule in favor of gay marriage?

Because they weren’t afraid of the reaction of the White folk anymore.

Simple as that.

Same thing with the Confederate Flag. Abortion. Open Borders. Etc.

The elite steer the ship, but the people are the tumultuous waves upon which it must set course.

And the fact is White people are, for the moment, docile and wish simply to “be left alone”, adopting the pretence of “as long as they don’t bother me.”

But this attitude is new, and as with most fads, likely temporary.

It’s like the problem with invasive species in Florida. Giant snakes have become an established species in the everglades and are wiping out native, sometimes endangered, animals. How did they get there? To a large extent, former “pet” owners who released them introduced them into the wild.

Now go back 80 to 100 years and imagine the reaction of the average man who found out his neighbor kept an apex predator as a “pet”. Back then the men of the neighborhood would have gone to such a “pet” owner and beat the hell out of him after killing the “pet”.

Because such a “pet” owner was endangering their family, their home and their territory.

Today though, when a man finds out that next door to his family his neighbor is keeping a giant man-eating predator, his pitiful reaction is; “as long as they don’t bother me.”

Of course if and when they do “bother him” it will involve one of his children being killed by the animal.

The fact is, you can ignore reality but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.

It’s out there waiting whether you want to deal with it or not.

Like Trotsky said, “you may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.”

So the applications of new law and new ways of society are fostered by the apathy of people in their own immediate environment.

But there are very, very few new truths or ways of being. Truth, like reality, is established with deep roots.

Inevitably it will become apparent that the newly grafted on truths are killing the tree.

And when that truth finally sinks in…

It’s been posted here before, but it’s relevant for this post, so here, once more, is Rudyard Kipling’s ‘Wrath of the Awakened Saxon’

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
