As crime, violence, and mass shootings become ever more common on America’s streets, in America’s shopping areas, and in American schools, we have to stop to ask ourselves why. Why is there such carnage and bloodshed? Why do young men increasingly seem to want to – not only commit suicide, but to commit suicide in such a way as to take as many people with them as possible.
Some lessons may come from Eric Harris, who, along with Dylan Klebold, carried out the Columbine shooting. Harris was very clear in his journals leading up to the attack that he viewed the purpose of life as to suffer, and viewed death as the necessary way to cure suffering. This worldview is called nihilism, and for one who believes all life is suffering, ending as many lives as possible becomes a logical act.
Eric Harris wrote that his greatest regret was not being able to kill on a much larger scale than just his high school – that if he and Dylan Klebold could kill every living creature on Earth, they would do so without hesitation.
Nihilism, however, is not something we are born with. It is learned – and increasingly, it is ‘taught’ in America’s public schools. Our schools separate students as young as five into identity groups and teach them that they are either oppressors or oppressed. Voice is given to the most oppressed, flipping the script on ‘privilege’ such that students compete in a kind of Oppression Olympics to see whose voice will count the most. Truth, facts, and reason are thrown out the window in the process.
In this episode of the Voice of a Nation, Wallace Garneau explores these trends, shows how they relate to Cultural Marxism, and makes a compelling argument that our public schools are being used to perpetuate hate, such that our own people work to destroy our culture, our values, and our way of life.
