If you want to see what the progressive neo-Marxist woke left (all synonyms) is doing to try to destroy America and the West, you need to watch this episode of The Rubin Report: “Elon Musk Invited Me to Twitter HQ & It’s Worse Than You Can Imagine.” The worse has to do with his visit to Twitter headquarters in San Francisco, and what he witnessed outside the building. He addresses the blight in Los Angeles as well. It’s almost unbelievable, but it’s totally believable because this is what happens when leftists implement their policies in once great cities.
He starts with a video of now Governor Gavin Newsom from fifteen years ago when he was mayor of San Francisco talking about a “ten-year plan” to address homelessness. To say his plan failed doesn’t do justice to the concept of failure. If my math is correct, fifteen years ago was 2009. I had to visit San Francisco in 2014 for a business trip, and even then the homeless problem disgusted me. I couldn’t walk outside my hotel without being accosted by a homeless person. Now its orders of magnitude worse. Please watch it. We must understand what the scourge of neo-Marxist wokism is doing to our country, and watching will make the consequences abundantly clear.
I encourage you to watch through to Rubin’s interview with the wildly popular Republican mayor of Miami, Francis Suarez. One reason this young man gets the greatness of America and promotes its values in Miami is because his father was born in Cuba where communism isn’t theoretical. Contrast the quality of life in Miami to San Francisco and Los Angeles, and it becomes clear which two of these visions and realities, Suarez or Newsom, is America and which is hell on earth. Which wins out in the end, and I’m confident it will be America, is what drives the contrast between the two visions, lies or truth.
As I’ve written here before, I believe the dividing line in Western culture is Truth. Last year I saw Elon Musk in a Ted Talk interview say something along the lines of him being obsessed with truth, that all he cares about is truth. In the last handful of years we’ve witnessed this dividing line in American culture in ways as obvious as an earthquake, and as destructive as moving tectonic plates. On one side of those plates are the synonym people, the progressive neo-Marxist woke left, who believe might makes right in pursuit of their ideological agenda; there is no truth in their world. On the other side are people who believe in truth, that it exists in objective reality, cannot be escaped, and that the goal of life is the pursuit of truth. These people are on our side, the side of Christians who believe truth is ultimately incarnational in our God and Savior who said he was The Truth. I also believe they are closer to the gospel because truth is ultimately not an abstract logical/rational deduction about the nature of things but is Jesus!
When Rubin asks Musk if he can share what he’s learned in his visit to Twitter, Musk replied, “As long as it’s true.” Even though I would expect that coming from Musk having heard the TED Talk, I was still blown away because it’s so rare among globalist elites like Musk. Nothing in this third decade of the 21st century could be more counter cultural, and take more guts, than the world’s richest man saying he doesn’t care what’s said about the way he’s running the world’s most influential media communications platform as long as it’s the truth. The pressure on him to kowtow to the synonym people is unimaginable, and why Christians should be his biggest cheerleaders.
Providentially, as I was writing this post I came across a piece about “Where People Moved in 2022.” It won’t surprise us that the two states referenced above are at opposite ends of the spectrum. The Free State of Florida, our home, had a net migration of +318,355, and the once great and now woke state of California -343,230. That means over 300,000 more people left California than moved in. I was born and raised in southern California with it was called “The Golden State.” All my relatives came from Sicily to New York and Boston and in the 1920s and 40s moved to Southern California. We thought it was the greatest piece of geography on earth, the place where the world came to live the American dream. Sadly, the synonym people have completely ruined it.
