Valin Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Sasha Stone Substack Are they ready for it? The 50th Annual Telluride Film Festival went off mostly without a hitch. It was the same beautiful town in the mountains of Colorado I’d been visiting for at least ten years. There were movies earmarked for the Oscar race, critics and bloggers, and film industry professionals scurrying from place to place. But something felt different. (Snip) Do they really believe on the Left that they can end the Trump movement by convicting him and throwing him in jail? Do they think that’s the best approach to deal with a populist revolution, culturally and politically? Do they think that censorship on sites like YouTube and GoFundMe is the way to quiet the rising discontent of the people they have abandoned? Yes, they do because no one has told them otherwise. But you can’t stop what’s coming. (Snip) Christianity is the Counterculture? The hippies and the boomers never really thought they’d need religion. They broke free from tradition back in the 1960s out of necessity. Politically and culturally, things had to dramatically change. But after their revolution, after major cultural upheaval that changed movies, art, science, government, and music, they’ve come full circle in 2023, having replaced their freedom with their own newfound religion and it is just as oppressive and stagnate as the one they once escaped. They have all of the money they could ever need, all of the cultural and corporate power, nearly all of the administrative and security state (yay FBI!). But they’re missing something fundamental and it shows. That might be why so many of the voices rising on the Right are also turning to God now, because religion is the counterculture in a country emptied out by “wokeism,” which has nothing to offer us except separating each of us into categories, to demonize all of us based on our gender or our skin color. (Snip) And so it will go with the culture at the hands of the Left. They won’t be able to predict what is about to hit them. That was what felt so strange wandering around the Telluride Film Festival. They were still focused on their existential angst, their own private paradise they believe is untouchable. The more people hear of these fresh new voices of truth, sanity and reason, the less they will be able to resist them, no matter how many different ways they’re punished for it.
