The magical vestal virgins of ancient Rome were believed to be so powerful that the vestals held sway over the daily life of Rome for almost one thousand years. Their mystical powers were believed to originate in sanctified chastity through a complicated system of rituals. The touch of a vestal virgin, incorruptibly pure, could exonerate a convict; their testimony was accepted without question or need to swear an oath.
The Romans did not have faith in their many gods in the modern sense of the concept. Rather, they maintained a “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” contractual relationship with their deities. Roman daily life included ubiquitous rituals, sacrifices, and flattery to the gods to win material advantages – a bountiful harvest, protection of the city, good health. Today, ordinary people enjoy a surfeit of material comforts even the Roman emperors would have envied. In a nation of plenty, what, then, is the purpose of the left wing’s obsession with victimology?
The answer is narcissistic gratification, which is accomplished through belief systems that preserve a sense of virtue without having to offer actual self-sacrifice or service. The “accredited” victim groups serve as psychological pilings to support that self-serving structure. In fact, so great is their role in this delusional system that they are conferred vestal status.
Like a Roman vestal virgin, Christine Blasey Ford, star of the lurid and brutal hoax perpetrated by the Democrats during the recent Supreme Court confirmation, initially demanded that she not have to swear an oath. She did, but it was irrelevant to the cult of the left, which insisted that she must be believed simply because she is the right kind of victim.
The Democratic Party is no longer a political party; it is a cult. Democrat candidates run no longer on a political platform, but on a promise to energize the hatred against whomever their base needs to revile. Similarly, liberal progressivism is no longer a political ideology. It has devolved into puerile, senseless incantations irrelevant to the problems facing the citizens of the American republic.
h/t Really Enraged.
A cult that makes The Peoples Temple and Jim Jones looks sane and safe.
It is instead a cult that makes Lenin, Stalin, and Mousey Tongue look sane and safe. Pol Pot, anyone???
“Et tu, Brute?”
“Naw, man – I ain’t et nuthin’!”

It’s Luciferian Worship and Status within that structure driving them, and half of them probably have no idea, and they are the workers.
An excellent article. Perfectly illustrates the framework of socialism. A false narrative (a lie) created to circumvents the truth to gain power and control.
