What Evil Is
Hollywood productions these days don’t seem to understand Evil. Lord Voldemort from the Harry Potter movies is a perfect example. He’s ugly (bald and noseless) and seems to enjoy hurting people, even his closest associates, just for the sake of it. And when his Deatheaters trash the Quiddich Cup they seem more like a gang of vandals than a political terrorist group. At least when Al Quaida blows up a church in Baghdad, it’s to deliver a political message. The Deatheaters were simply having a good time. To Hollywood, Evil people are ugly, unpleasant, and disagreeable freaks who “just like to watch things burn.” I think the Hollywood Leftists who control the media think this way because it absolves them and their favorite political groups from ever being thought of as wicked. They’re beautiful and stylish and just want the best for society. ”Those damned fascist Republicans are the evil ones!”
That Hollywood believes the primary aspect of Evil is disagreeable uglyiness shows a misunderstanding of what Evil truly is. Evil can be very attractive. The Bible describes Satan as an "angel of light," the "Son of the Morning Star." The reddish fellow with horns and a pitchfork is all Hollywood. If you met the real Devil he'd more likely be wearing an expensive suit and a silk tie. What made Satan evil was what he did, not how he did it.
No, the true source of Evil isn’t merely a lack of taste or style. No one can accuse the Nazis of lacking style. Long before he created sports cars, Ferdinand Porsche designed tanks for them. Modern rock concerts today owe most of their theatrical techniques to 1930s Nazi Party rallies. And the Nazis introduced the Olympic tradition of running the torch up from Greece to the site of the games, turning the simple task of lighting the official torch at the opening of the games into a spectacular event.
The black uniforms of the SS were actually designed by Hugo Boss. They’re a cut above those of any contemporary military, making their rivals seem rather drab in comparison. Compare their slick black boots, death’s head insignia and silver embroidered rank badges to the doughty khaki outfits British officers wore. The dreary brown American dress uniforms of the period seem designed almost as camouflage the way the wearers blend into the background of any formal occasion. Yet the deeds of the SS during the war made even the bloody-handed Soviets seem like choirboys.
Those deeds were what made the Nazis Evil. They directly murdered twelve million Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, and other “sub-humans,” plus caused a world war that killed fifty million more—all in the name of “saving” Humanity.
According to Nazi philosophy, the Jews had contaminated the Human gene-pool, dragging us down from a formerly superhuman, magic-using civilization. Mankind was doomed unless we could breed the “Jew” out of our “bad blood.”
But it was how they acted on this belief that made them Evil with a capital E. They could have educated Germans on their theories, and peacefully urged Jews to emigrate elsewhere—but they didn’t. They decided to collect them into camps, and then exterminate them, as well as anyone else who resisted their crackpot theories.
The true nature of Evil is selfishness. The Nazis elevated their beliefs, their ideas, and their plans over everyone else’s. They didn’t persuade, they forced. Jews and Slavs weren’t people. Their lives had no value—not to the Nazis. All the Nazis saw was the wonderful Utopia they were creating on the bones of millions of what they saw only as vermin. Himmler thought it a great joke that the Zyclon B gas used in the extermination camps had originally been developed as a fumigation agent for getting rid of rats, mice and bugs. To the Nazis, the Final Solution was little more than an exercise in pest control.
For monumental Evil you need a monumental ego to think your ideas trump everyone else’s. Everyone must bend to your will, and die if that’s what’s necessary because, well, because you know better than anyone else. Other people are stupid; they make the wrong choices. They don’t know what’s good for themselves, so it’s up to you to make sure they do the right thing, even if they don’t want to. And if that means taking away choices, putting a few into reeducation camps or even killing them… well, can’t make omelets without breaking a few eggs, can you? And omelets sure are tasty—unless you’re a chicken.
The seed of that Evil lies inside each one of us. This is why when Christ summed up the entire Bible he said,
But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
(Matthew 22:34-40)
Today we face another Great Evil, of greater magnitude than the Nazis—Progressivism. Progressive Leftists enforcing their political correct doctrines upon the world are motivated by the same selfish altruism as the Nazis. They’re determined to build their social justice utopia regardless of the cost. All of society must be fundamentally transformed—whether it wants to or not. No one can opt out. Just as the Islamic terrorists—also possessed by similar selfish ambitions—destroy thousands of years old cultural artifacts they deem “blasphemous,” Progressives must destroy any historical monuments they deem “racist.” It’s the same spirit, the same actions, the same Evil. Disagree and you end up crub-stomped by some Antifa storm trooper, beheaded by an Islamic terrorist, or stuffed into a Nazi gas chamber.
But the Nazis only had Germany. The other world powers were able to take them down (eventually.) Today Progressives control the entire Western World—Europe, Canada, the United States, Japan. They dominate Hollywood, the media, publishing, education, both of our major political parties, and most churches.
Worse, there’s very little resistance. We bomb the crap out of ISIS and spend billions fighting a “War on Terror” but our media won’t even condemn Antifa when they rampage and burn our own cities. Facebook, Google, Wikipedia, and Twitter censor information critical of Progressives. Hollywood fills theaters with propaganda movies. Educators stuff our children's heads full of Leftist dogma...and what do we do about it?
What do you do about it? Better pick a side, because if you just let them complete their plans you’ll either be fundamentally transformed or end up like those Jews and Gypsies. Not to resist is to support Evil.
