As the world and America continues to descend into lawlessness, sin and evil the erasing or cancelling of history continues unabated.
Christians are not immune to the blinding nature of evil and secular culture and have been drawn into a political worldview that puts Christ and the Christian way of life in a box.
Reality is being made up as we go along ignoring what is real and objective.
In America we are headed for delusional authoritarianism with or without the Cult of Trump.
The so called Left is just the flip side of the evil of the Right.
But we cannot change the past no matter what we say or how we lie. Our delusions will consume us.
This series offers a more objective view of American History.
Introducing Uncancelled History with Douglas Murray
Erasing History
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” George Orwell, 1984
These words were written by George Orwell to describe the dystopian fictional society of 1984. It is a place where the endorsed ideology matters above all else. History, heroes, rights, and wrongs are illegitimate in the face of the Party’s ideology.
It continues to strike me as uncanny how, in a society so fearful of authoritarian rules, we are slipping further and further down the path that Orwell described in his novel with the best of intentions.
American history is being erased today. Sometimes this is done with good intentions. American history is full of its own shames and disgraces. But I do not agree we should deny these things occurred by erasing them from our record and memory. We should remember our culture’s mistakes. Don’t tear down the monuments. Keep them up but tell the truth about what they mean and the true stories that occurred which we might have forgotten, or perhaps were never told..." from the article Erasing History
