Bruce Charlton's Miscellany
Many have noticed that the traditional Western religion of Christianity is substantially a fake among those who profess it (i.e. self-identified Christians are mostly first Leftists, and only secondarily Christian). Others have noted that - as a matter of fact - the West is not re-adopting Christianity, and as a matter of probability there seems little chance that the West will re-adopt Christianity. However, these facts and probabilities do not affect the argument that only a religion can combat Leftism - they merely suggest that there is little evidence for, and little prospect of, the defeat of Leftism by religion in the West. I is very simple: if people choose to reject religion, then they simply will not defeat Leftism.

But which metaphysics can beat the Left? Not a made-up thing, for sure. Satanic Leftism cannot be defeated at the level of philosophical discourse - of course not!
It can be beaten and will only be beaten by a metaphysics based on a realer, deeper, more motivated, more meaningful basis...
In other words, Leftism can be beaten, and can only be beaten, by a religion.
And that is our choice - Leftism or Religion.

If not Leftism, then CHOOSE YOUR RELIGION.
Simple as that.

Probably, Satan's greatest triumph has been the destruction of real metaphysics: purely free; but with profound and universal consequences.
Satan's greatest triumph has therefore been metaphysical - he is the most successful career philosopher in history (certainly, the most highly-cited).
Bruce Charlton's Miscellany: The Great Misinterpretation. That crucial, wrong existential choice by the British circa 1800, at the advent of the industrial revolution
the British people were confronted with a choice: the choice between either feeling grateful for what they had, or resentful for what they didn't.
The mass majority chose resentment, and gave their souls to the politics of resentment - that is to Leftism.
The same happened, sooner or later (it was later in the USA) everywhere in the developed world. And resentment is close kin to hatred.
Bruce Charlton's Miscellany: The Great Misinterpretation. That crucial, wrong existential choice by the British circa 1800, at the advent of the industrial revolution
The Leftists said that the industrial revolution had created mass poverty by making the poor poorer. But the reality was almost the opposite that the industrial revolution 'created' poverty by making the poor richer, by keeping them and their children alive, rather than dead.
In fact, in stark biological terms, the industrial revolution benefited the poor and it harmed the middle class and rich.
