This week in Upside-Down Clown World, we hear the news of further expansions of the Police State despite a few of the remaining (actual) Conservative judges left from the Reagan Era putting down attempted Neocon Power-Grabs. Be that as it may, as the epidemic of Leftist violence is replacing the Official Narrative of the Immigrant Invasion as a pretext for these expansions, another such evil plot was foiled in Texas.
Evidently, yet another Left-Wing Whacko radicalized by watching woke Disney Films and reading Chinese news outlets. OK, so maybe he does live in a State whose Governor laments that he hasn't the authority to order his shock-troops to gun down immigrants in cold blood; and who pardons convicted murderers who stalk and shoot down protesters, but what of it? According to all of the smart boys, all acts of violence in America are committed by the Left, so it must be true. Our side never engages in this sort of behavior.
Some commenters have contended on the above articles that

That a Culture of Violence exists on the New Right is obvious to anybody not wholly infatuated with the Alpha Cult that this Administration has elevated into positions of authority. Along with the brutality and sadism carried out against even legal immigrants and American nationals, we have the vicious calls for barbaric reprisals in the aftermath of the Kirk shooting. Anybody who watched the completely unhinged and neurotic behavior of Pete Hegseth during Tuesday's convocation of top military personnel must confess that 'our side' has a serious problem.
The New Right, which is merely an extension of the Neoconservatism (i.e. Reactionary Liberalism) which generated the Culture of Violence. Both of the Bush Administrations set this process in motion; and what we're seeing today is a culmination of the sort of precedents set by the 'War on Drugs' and the 'War on Terror'. Of course, the Scamdemic was a trial-run for the type of Martial Law that their successors hope to implement in a more thorough-going form. Both the Bush Administrations also committed repeated violations of both the US Constitution and International Law, but the effects these actions had upon the populace was wholly negative.
War, or 'National Security' does not justify crime, and the nation which behaves as if it does, starts a process of moral degeneration in its citizens which will, in the long run, inevitably affect their actions as private individuals. The collective participation of a nation in a war of aggression: the shameless greed and glorification of power leaches down from Government to affect nearly all our social institutions, from families, to schools, to businesses, etc. With its theories of the so-called Unitary Executive who can do no wrong and the endless promotion of 'American Exceptionalism' along with the concomitant slavish idolatry of the 'Alpha Superman' is not progress, but represents an atavistic and stagnated state of moral development. The consequence of putting these theories into actual practice is hideous barbarism.
This kind of Culture deifies Authority, placing it above morality and good faith. This is an advantage, at least as the inferior intelligence of its leaders who conceive it, and is its only guiding principle. It has no respect for virtue, no regard for the vulnerability of those they consider inferior; one's subordination alone is seen as a sign of weakness. Force and material interest alone exist to our ruling class, and this naturally produces among the populace brutality, violence, legalized robbery, and hypocrisy even against the elderly, women, and children. Perpetual war, both foreign and domestic, has become the American civilizing ideal. War by open violence and terror, or war by armaments, but also with intrigues, industrial and commercial machinations; it is a war without respite, with soldiers, police, collaborators, co-travelers and informants.
The Social Darwinist underpinning of the New Right holds that the value of both the State and of individuals by right ought to occupy the place in the world or society by which its supposed worth and superiority entitles them. Under such a moral code, ruthless retribution is merely a plain matter-of-fact; the bankrupting of entire communities, the desecration of traditions and history and contempt for civilized norms, the exploitation of both national and international resources to the benefit of the self-appointed 'Elite' and to the injury of the general population---these actions are considered morally justifiable. Likewise, the citizenry mimics such behaviors on a smaller scale which is no less destructive to those so affected.
Now, the New Right's version of the 'settled science' is essentially the old trick of attempting to justify the wickedness of men to God. To this end, they have no shortage of willing accomplices, in Academia, the Media, and---increasingly---in our churches. The largest of our Megachurches seem to have reversed the Biblical proverb: "What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul" to "what profit is there in saving one's soul if he can't rule the world?" Indeed, most of these types preach a God Who is something like the CEO of the Universe and the same types of people who admire temporal Robber Barons worship that sort of Deity.
This is why it cannot be stressed strongly enough that our problems are not political but spiritual. By spiritual we mean that a society, our moral compass, our system of values has been severely warped by an intentional policy of those in positions of power to maintain and expand those positions at all costs. This is what we, as a society, need to come to grips with before we can see any kind of meaningful reform.
