Cultural War – Finding Purpose

Finding Purpose

History, Philosophy, Theology and Classic Wargaming

Category: Cultural War

Front Cover

Whether we want to admit it or accept it, America and the West have been embroiled in a Cultural War since at least the mid-1960s. There have been times when traditionalists and conservators did not actively fight the battle and times when radicals, progressives, and destroyers were less vocal, but the battles have raged.

At stake is the very nature of government, freedom and the entire future. Traditionalists have ceded the “high ground” of compassion and succumbed to the narrative of hate and villainy that progressives and destroyers paint all disagreement with. Allowing radicals to paint any and all with claims of ‘racist’, ‘bigot’ and hateful has silenced many.

The articles below discuss what is at stake in this Cultural War, how it is being waged, what is right and what is wrong and what the future may hold.
