Identity Politics & The Marxist Lie of White Privilege | Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

We’re living in one of the most interesting times in human history. It’s hard to conceive all that’s taking place and changing around us as we recognize that the great tectonic plates of our civilization are now shifting right underneath our collective feet. And not only that, but the acceleration of these changes is now coming in such a way that you really have no way of knowing what tomorrow’s headlines will bring.  The average man, woman, boy or girl has only two choices in response to this tidal wave of postmodernism: capitulation or to be become a warrior on the battleground of ideas.

Pushing Back on Postmodernism | The Causes Of Things Ep. 1

On today's episode of The Causes of Things, we will explore the purposed leveraging phenomenon known as the fertile fallacy. 

Throughout the socio-political universe, there has been a phenomenon as of late that allows the architects of change to perform a manipulative influence to either achieve a desired result or create a pseudo-necessity for change in society.  Plainly stated, when a change in opinion or sociological shift is desired, a big lie is told in order to disrupt something as large as a cultural norm or as small as a local election.

This phenomenon is properly defined as a fertile fallacy.  A fertile fallacy is a statement or idea that on the surface may seem to be true because of a spurious accusation or because of inherent biases of the receiver.  Even though the accusation or statement lacks veracity, it is received as a “truth” from those that wish it to be true and hence will have a life of its own until the fertile fallacy is dismantled. Plainly stated, a fertile fallacy can be understood as “a lie that has legs” and will accomplish a manipulative function for the architect of the fallacy.

The fertile fallacy is a useful point of leverage in the process of reflexivity.  This process has been the agent of change used by George Soros and his organizations associated with Open Society Foundations.

What Is A Fertile Fallacy? | The Causes Of Things Ep. 2

The key term to understand any developments in politics, religion, financial markets, or social sciences today is the loaded power word, reflexivity.
In simple terms, reflexivity can be simply understood as a “self-fulfilling prophecy” or as an outcome that can be determined or assured due to overwhelming propaganda.
In other words, if you are one of the elite masters of the universe and since all truth claims are subjectively suspect to fallibility; you can make up your own truth claim up and can create your own version of the future – since you are brilliant, one of the powerful elite, and know what’s best for everyone else, implant the fertile fallacy, a fat lie that demands action,  into a continuous feedback loop. Then shout that fallacy far and wide from the mountaintops. Use every available media outlet: TV, radio, social media, and, specifically in the United States, the church in order to fertilize your fertile fallacy, make it the center of all conversation – create a crisis and insist that everyone else answer to your fallacious creation.
In the end, the reflexive action that is created is never with the intent of solving the fertile fallacy – in the end it is meant to move the needle further to accomplishing your greater goals: the deconstruction of western civilization and the creation of an “open society."

George Soros And Reflexivity | The Causes Of Things Ep. 3

If you listen closely to the speeches and discussions of world leaders and global policymakers in today’s news and social media, you will hear a term repeated by folks such as Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Rex Tillerson and the venerable shadowy puppet master George Soros.

The term might have slipped by you as it sounds rather friendly and innocuous: “Open Society’

When this term is normally used, you will hear it used by progressive politicians while bemoaning of the election results in Italy, Austria, the United States and the British Brexit as threats to Open Society and the terrible rise of nationalism and populism.

Maybe you have heard these things and have felt a bit confused as to why preserving one’s nation and culture would be a bad thing?

Let us together examine some basics in regards to Open Societies, where the concept came from and who is currently making the big push for a borderless non-constitutional government, without fully informing their citizenry on of their intentions in the United States and Europe.

A Brief History Of The Open Society | The Causes Of Things Ep. 4

https://sovereignnations.com/2018/07/30/christianity-in-a-postmodern-crisis/

The protestant evangelical church has been a massive conservative force over the past 50 years.  With nearly 40 million members, evangelicals are normally politically active, voting for their morals as well as for the preservation of our republic.

But something has happened over the past 7 years or so that has radically changed the priorities and mission of the largest evangelical seminaries and churches in the United States.  Seminaries previously focused on Scriptural exegesis and proclamation are now focusing on teaching their future pastors postmodern concepts such as critical race theory and intersectionality.  Churches throughout the nation are pushing progressive agendas along with classes that feature the teaching of unconscious bias training along with the deceptive idea of ‘white privilege’.

Faithful church members are being encouraged to reject constitutional conservatives and to embrace open borders, reject normative patriotism, and embrace progressive concepts and social justice policies normally reserved for radical socialists or open society adherents.

Rejecting any respect or support for President Donald Trump, the new progressive Christian front has a obvious political edge.  While stating that it is “a-political,’ the deconstructionist Christian movement churn out articles, videos, conferences, and tweets that promote progressive policies such as open borders, equity-based concepts, and social justice endeavors.

What is happening and why is it happening?

On this episode of The Causes of Things, we will explore the genesis of this massive paradigm shift within the Christian Church.

Christianity In A Postmodern Crisis | The Causes Of Things Ep. 5

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson burst onto the scene and became an internet sensation in 2017, dishing out common sense replies to the excesses of out-of-control, wacky postmodernism and the liberal progressive empires dispensing draconian challenges to free speech and cognitive liberty that these movements promote.

Peterson’s critiques of the oppressor vs oppressed neo-Marxist narratives of today’s social justice movements along with an equally critical examination of the founding Father’s of postmodernism: Michele Foucault and Jacques Derrida, have been devastating -– showing the paper tigers of postmodernism for what they really are.

Respected reformed Christian scholars and apologists such as Dr. James White, Pastor Douglas Wilson, and Dr. Owen Strachan have had a fairly balanced understanding of the positives of Dr. Peterson - as well as helping to provide a polemic that also understands and elucidates the issues with Peterson’s worldview apart from the soteriological aspects of the Gospel.  And these are balanced and fair views

But there is a terribly negative push coming from men and women who are at the pinnacles of Christian denominational or seminary power who are trying to protect their own new, current, postmodern, urban ministry, progressive agendas driven by the over-arching strategies that we covered in Episode 5 of The Causes of Things: the Bibles Badges and Business schemes.

This attack will be coming from Deconstructionist Christians who will encourage their followers to completely reject Peterson as they forcefully attack Peterson’s training in Jungian psychoanalysis.

What should you do? How should you approach your consideration of Dr. Peterson's work?

The Coming Christian Attack on Jordan Peterson | The Causes Of Things Ep. 6

What has happened at our nation's traditional Evangelical Christian seminaries and colleges? 

Over the past several years, pastors and professors graduating from seminaries in the United States seem to be more familiar with French postmodernists, liberal radicals, and open society progressives. These wayward philosophies manifest themselves in concepts such as critical race theory, white privilege, systemic racism and other forms of postmodern deconstructionism. 

What exactly is going on and how can this problem be reversed?

The answer lies in two forms. First, in the average evangelical church pew in the form of the common man or woman who takes the responsibility of being a good Berean along with the infallible guide of Holy Scripture. Secondly, in faithful pastors who are willing to endure criticism and hardship in order to break from the postmodern direction of their denominations, para-church ministries, and seminaries.

Evangelical Seminaries: Deconstruction Zones | The Causes Of Things Ep. 7

What is an open society?  The answer to this question as well as an examination of the pitfalls and inconsistencies of Karl Popper's utopian theories will help you to understand nearly all of the current challenges that are rocking the supportive pillars of nations around the world. 

No matter where you travel within the confines of western civilization you will experience the chaos of rampant societal change.  Whether it be mass unvetted migration, gender fluidity, racial unrest, or myriads of other issues we are facing today, what is the main source or root of the problem?

The "why" and the civilizational struggle in our epoch of time can be summed up by pointing to one concise battleground: sovereign nations vs. open societies.

The Folly of Open Societies | The Causes Of Things Ep. 8

Welcome to The Causes of Things, a podcast from Sovereign Nations. The 1st century BC poet Virgil stated, “Blessed is he who understands the hidden causes of things.” This statement is as brilliant today as it was 2,000 years ago.

Primarily narrated by Michael O'Fallon, The Causes of Things is didactic in nature featuring a collection of teaching series & lectures, some of which are recorded specifically for this podcast, and some that are from public lectures. The show will offer discussion and information concerning a variety of complex ideas: The philosophical presuppositions behind the ideas that are aggressively shaping our world, the answers to those challenging ideas, and the necessary historical, hierarchical structure of the world as represented through the lens of Judeo Christian belief.
