And this is why<\/a>.\u00a0 The difference between the emergent post-modern secular Left, and Europe at the turn of the 20th century, is one of numbers.\u00a0 At least Europeans at the beginning of the last century had developed the idea that since all humans were nothing but animals, only some were of little value.\u00a0 At least they said there were some humans who transcended the\u00a0trappings of animal identity, and therefore had some worth.\u00a0 At least they said, \u201cThere are two types of people \u2013 our kind of people and those others that are nothing but sub-human.\u201d\u00a0 Myers, and other like him, take the same startling lack of concern for human life that was once applied to some human beings, and apply it to everyone.\u00a0 Well, perhaps not to themselves or people like themselves.\u00a0 But otherwise, it is a cold, heartless, soulless movement that deals with hatred, mockery, contempt, loathing, and disgust for any belief system that doesn\u2019t share its contempt for the bulk of humanity as anything other than worthless slabs of meat.\u00a0 Yet since its ethical system promotes narcissism and hedonism, sexual debauchery and decadence, it does snare many young people who are blind to the evil undercurrents of the philosophy of death that is being sold them.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
