As a Christian, I obligate myself to a religious code
which Antifa and nihilists in general (“nil,” or “nothing,” – the term denies
the validity of meaning and morality) both mockingly dismiss. But there is another moral standard that isn’t
grounded on “revealed religion,” yet which renders Antifa inescapably liable to
disdain on rational grounds. It is the “Golden
Rule” (treat others as you would have them treat you). Failure to keep this principle commits the
logical fallacy “the double-standard (DS)” which entails foisting one standard
onto others which the imposers will not apply to themselves. It is among most pervasive ways people do
wrong to others. Although I hold that God
will highlight this ploy as one of his grounds for judging people (Rom. 2:1-3),
the problem Antifa faces is that, even though entirely separate from religious authority,
the DS fallacy exposes the committing of this offense as sheer hypocrisy.
“Antifa,”
means “anti-fascist.” Yet when measured
against the Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of “fascism,” our country,
though imperfect, is not fascist but to the contrary, the champion of
individual liberties. So, despite Antifa’s
official claims, they are merely exploiting their name as a smoke-screen in
order to destroy our society. In
this hypocritical act, mainstream journalists are culpable by enabling that deception.
Why, for example, do they fixate on nitpicking
every “error” of our President, while altogether failing to shine a spotlight
on the destruction that Antifa leaves everywhere in its wake?
It is
instead Antifa who are fascist in their goals, as is borne out by their demonstrated
habit of demanding surrender to their view under threat of an array of harmful
outcomes. Indeed, Antifa proves by their
track record (as witnessed on TV) that they care for no people group other than
their own, not even blacks. This puts
the lie to their professed alliance with the “Black Lives Matter” movement
(BLM). For one thing, that slogan
contradicts Martin Luther King Jr’s (MLKJ) “dream” of the day his
children would “be judged not by the color of their skin, but the content of
their character.” It also
contradicts the methods Nelson Mandela employed in successfully bringing
blacks and whites together into a united South Africa, as enacted in the historically-sound
movie, “Invictus.” So, it is instead the
slogan, “All Lives Matter,” that alone unites blacks with all others as co-equals
in privileges, both legal and social.
To be continued...
