"Truths turn into dogmas the instant that they are disputed. Thus every man who utters a doubt defines a religion. And the scepticism of our time does
not really destroy the beliefs, rather it creates them; gives them their limits and their plain and defiant shape.
We who are Liberals once held Liberalism lightly as a truism. Now it has been disputed, and we hold it fiercely as a faith.
We who believe in patriotism once thought patriotism to be reasonable, and thought little more about it. Now we know it to be unreasonable, and know
it to be right.
We who are Christians never knew the great philosophic common sense which inheres in that mystery until the anti-Christian writers pointed it out to
us.
The great march of mental destruction will go on. Everything will be denied. Everything will become a creed.
It is a reasonable position to deny the stones in the street; it will be a religious dogma to assert them.
It is a rational thesis that we are all in a dream; it will be a mystical sanity to say that we are all awake.
Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer.
We shall be left defending, not only the incredible virtues and sanities of human life, but something more incredible still, this huge impossible
universe which stares us in the face.
We shall fight for visible prodigies as if they were invisible. We shall look on the impossible grass and the skies with a strange courage. We shall
be of those who have seen and yet have believed."
- G. K. Chesterton, Heretics(1905)
There's a lot of common ground where
most people can unite.
That gray area is known to us as common sense.
As Giorgio Meloni, PM of Italy said:
" Everything that defines us is now an enemy for those who would like us to no longer have an identity and to simply be consumer slaves.
And so they attack National Identity.
They attack Religious Identity.
They attack Gender Identity.
They attack Family Identity.
Instead they want you to be :
-Citizen X
-Gender X
-Parent 1,Parent 2
You must be a number.
Because when you are only a number, when you have no identity or roots
then you will be a perfect slave at the mercy of the financial
speculators.
The perfect consumer.
And that's why YOU inspire so much fear.
YOU will defend the value of a human being.
Every single human being.
Because each of us is a unique genetic code that is unrepeatable.
Like it or not, that is SACRED.
DEFEND your God.
DEFEND your Country.
DEFEND your family.
All the things that disgust those people so much.
Revolt against being a slave and a simple consumer at the mercy of the financial speculators."
THAT IS YOUR MISSION.
