Are the themes of a "Cultural Revolution,"
Erasing or Enhancing America?
"...I look at the world and I notice it turning, While my guitar gently weeps, With every mistake we must surely be learning? Still my guitar gently weeps. Yeah I don't know how you were diverted, You were perverted too, I don't know how you were inverted , No-one alerted you..."
In searching I found; While My Guitar Gently Weeps, was written by George Harrison, as an exercise in randomness. It was inspired by the Chinese I Ching, in dismay of our human potential for universal love and our failure to unite and display it.
Relating to randomness and Chinese leaders. Are you familiar with the more recent Chinese leader who actually championed chaos. He delightfully stated, “Everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent,” and preached, “Marxism consists of thousands of truths, but they all boil down to one sentence: It is right to rebel.” To rebel against Old Ideals, Old Culture, Old Customs, and Old Habits?
Through chaos this leader sought absolute allegiance, demanding unity in his systematic destruction of competing institutions, history, heritage and culture. Through imposed allegiance, he effectively erased all options for personal independent and self directed liberty.
Could we be erasing America today? In a similar way? Only at a slower pace? And if so, will it lead us to the same outcome at a similar cost.
Could this be behind the chaotic confusion we so frequently see around us? Were the global B.L.M. uprisings that caused the destruction of our once beautiful city centers here in America only the beginning?
In today's America, Federal Control is being superimposed over State's Rights. With Biden's executive reversal of Trump's border policy. He forcibly funneled vulnerable illegals into vulnerable states with promises to provide voting privilege's.. But there has been a delay. So far the Constitution has held and it was ruled unconstitutional for these noncitizens to vote, (at least in New York, for now).

And in the 70's, even though white males like me were last in line for many job opportunities. My high school class was so positive about diversity and equal opportunity that we elected our only male black student as our Class President.
Today's climate isn't like that. Instead of guidelines for Federal hiring and improving Housing opportunity, through legislation and voluntary adjustments. We punitively cancel and exclude those who adhere to older values and fire them if they resist progressive change in the smallest of ways. In doing so, aren't we creating a "Progressive," forms of segregation?
Today, in America progressive leaders also punish through prejudicial social policy. Culturally restrictive policies against select parents and communities. Especially communities of faith. Policies of disrespect and exclusion, that create a hierarchy of intimidation through child removal or employment cancelling. Policies that reject key points of our historical and cultural diversity. Now we replace our former core value of personal strength and integrity with a progressive piety and self-righteous pride in our public displays of extreme moral acceptance. And this has become the central theme for many of our government leaders. Does anyone remember, "Don't ask, Don't tell?" Where personal privacy for all was honored over expositionism?

In reality our passivity toward often misguided and potentially harmful behavior increases victimhood. As caution is sacrificed and the aberrant behavior (including the legalization of harmful drugs) is celebrated and even promoted among vulnerable peers, victimizers are empowered. Our lack of caution encourages experimentation and celebrates deviation. Instead of protecting, we now pride in ourselves in our displays of tolerant acceptance.
Have you subscribed to the, "Revolution?" Have you examined it's history and message? Although not necessarily inspired by these events, the Beatles song at the beginning was written during this same revolution.
After searching and reviewing many videos on the topic. (The story links) below clearly shows how unexamined devotion and even a fear of being excluded can cause even the most idealistic among us to assist in the destruction of all that we cherish for what is presented as the very best of reasons. May we avoid the fate of failing to learn from the tragedies. May we truly learn from the past and avoid the fate of following in their footsteps.
At least 25 Americans were killed during protests and political unrest in 2020

Today we revolutionize science, replacing experimental scientific fact with popularized theories and ideals of a syncopated human lifecycle and an obtuse view of human sexuality. Is this a part of the revolution? Are these ideals accurate? Are humans really nonexistent before becoming fully self-aware? Is our subjective emotional comfort really the true measure of personhood, gender and identity? Or are these claims merely battlegrounds for waging chaotic conflict?

And today in many states. New State hierarchies are removing Parental Rights as children are being taken without trial when conflict over gender expression occurs. Is this simply, "timely progress," or is it, "Revolutionary?"
Was Vice President Kamala Harris, "A Revolutionary Voice," when she repeatedly said that the, anti-Trump Post Election and Black Lives Matter Protests, "Must Continue?" Even after scores of innocent lives were lost and many, many millions of dollars of damage destroyed the centers of our major cities.

History shows that activist led civil conflict is rarely about universal fairness, or achieving balanced positive change to benefits all. That is the job of our Legislature and Legal System. Todays activist conflicts displays mob power through intimidation and even domination as in (Seattle's CHOP district where 6 were murdered). Unlike the nonviolent passivist movements of the past.
I grew up in the era that Legislated, "Affirmative Action." At that time, our youth were still taught to value our history. Instead of erasing it. We sought to learn from it and find ways to make, "humanitarian improvements." It was a era of inclusion. Of inviting others to achieve prosperity and share in our values of liberty through opportunity. Government programs were even created to help make home ownership more available to low income families. This legislation was called the, American Dream Downpayment Assistance Act. You can read about it in the link below...
Unfortunately this semi-socialistic mixture of government and capitalism created new problems. Opportunists abused it in lending resulting in the housing bubble and recession of 2008. It was somewhat like the recent shut down of China's housing boom that has left whole cities of unfinished apartment buildings to decay.
Here in the 70's, Affirmative Action was created to increase opportunity for minorities and women while still maintaining at least some sense of Liberty for all. But very recently it was challenged and portions of it were found, "Unconstitutional," in our Supreme Court. In 2023, it ruled that racial and gender discrimination could not be used for acceptance into colleges. But in the 70's they could.

In the revolution of the Soviet Union, those being cancelled were called Kulaks. The dividing line could be as little as having and upstairs in your house, or too many cattle.

Sadly, I would have to say that it was my generation that created today's leading cause of American Death for those under 45: Drug Overdose. We were the generation that normalized the expansion of these intoxicants into our youth culture, leading the way for legalizing most gateway drugs and decriminalizing possession of small but often lethal amounts of deadly drugs. Consider the pain that this has brought to America's families. Consider the wealth and power it has transferred from working communities to the Criminal Cartels that dominate much of the population south of our border. Without the Cartels, how many would be immigrating illegally?
And consider the pain that our rejection of traditional family mores in sexual behavior has brought through broken homes as traditional family values have declined. Pain even in President Biden's family. Especially to his daughter in law Kathleen and the grandchildren.
Is showing approval of Hunter's family abandonment to engage in an adultetrous relationship with his brother's grieving widow, really an appropriate way to display the virtues of tolerance?
News reports Joe and Jill's full approval of Hunter's romantic involvement with Beau's widow while still being married to Kathleen.

Beyond family, our corporate and business policies have also changed. Today we also enforce and punish those who fail to comply with the new ideals of, "social equity." and, "politically correctness."
Less intense than the, "Red Guard," but in close harmony with what is shown in the, "Cultural Revolution," video above. Sadly, the children of China in that generation either had no awareness of their very recent past, or were unable to resist the pressure they faced in their own, "Culture of Revolution."
But here today, if this, (Swimming Event Video), was presented, I think many of our University trained "Disciples of Progressive Culture," might describe it as...
"A small triumph for justice and equity against all racial bigotry and oppressive historical ideology. We celebrate your vision! A progressive vision of freedom, moral equity and redemptive social justice! We gratefully forsake the distractions of family, past culture and ethnic history! We utterly reject all who look backward and hinder your path forward!

The 1960's were also a time of turmoil. In 1968 the Beatles released their "White Album" that included the song Revolution presented below. It was written during Mao's Cultural Revolution.

In response to these events in China, the video below was created. It explains the chief differences a pure Democracy and a Republic with checks and balances. A worthwhile review. I wonder if this information is still taught in our schools. I found it very informative.
