I have mixed thoughts on this. I absolutely believe that Dr. Wolf is correct that evil has overtaken this world in every way, from the open demonic worship and degeneracy we see to just plain cold hearts of stone in the everyday adult. We live in an age of mass confusion, and there is only one true author of that, even if it is the cabal that is doing his dirty work. And it accelerated around 2020 because desperation set in for them. And I felt it personally. A few months before the coof hit is when I started to feel pulled back to Jesus after twenty years of being completely against Christianity. I couldn't understand it at the time, but I felt it. I used to tell my husband when I was younger that I would finally tell my family to shove their religion and their church once my very pure-hearted, devoted grandmother died. Well, she died a few months after Covid started, and by that point, I could no longer tell my family to do that and I had to swallow my pride. I think my grandmother probably prays for me where she is now.
On the other hand, when has the world ever not been evil? Humans have slaughtered and abused each other for centuries. We've been degenerates since we were put here, although we used to keep it hidden. Christianity brought order to the West, but it was abused from the start. How many people, especially anyone involved in the government, ever truly followed the words of Christ? And everyone talks about the traditional family unit now like all kids used to have a Leave It to Beaver life before mass divorce came along, but I can speak from personal experience that having two parents in the home doesn't always mean a child has a peaceful, loving upbringing and can still grow up to be a troubled individual. My husband would agree after growing up with an extremely religious and extremely abusive mother.
Something has changed, though, and I agree with Wolf about that. Satan and thedemons used to be more subtle. It was harder to spot evil because it wasn't celebrated. The government could commit acts of horror, but you'd still believe the patriotic war propaganda. Families could go to church and look perfect on the outside, and you'd believe the facade, no matter how much different reality might have been. Now, people just put their evil on display and talk about how all choices are "valid" and we're all supposed to throw a parade and applaud it all. Social media is largely responsible for this, just as it is responsible for how people jumped aboard the Covid agenda. If you have a dog fetish, you can find an echo chamber of similar degenerates online who will embrace you and make you think you're normal. There's never been a better tool for mass hypnosis when there are thousands of bots, including the MSM itself, repeating the same words over and over until you agree, and that's what happened with Covid.
It's 5:00 in the morning and I'm rambling while getting ready for work, but TLDR, Wolf is right about demons running wild right now. I just don't think it's anything new. But we are being asked to choose sides now. There's no more gray area. That's the difference. Something big is coming and we need to be ready for it.
It's not anything new in terms of how society, humanity en masse, have corrupt and wicked tendencies in every age and they just have different characteristics or external values that still hold society together in one way or another. I agree that now is no better or worse than many ages past. The overly preoccupied social virtue folks within every corrupt generation have tendencies to believe they are at the end point of civilization and divine judgment / the end of the world is nigh.
What is uniquely different about today is not the existence of rampant immorality, its the way in which its expressed and the ideas that led to it. The cultural shift in recent decades is the latest train stop of centuries of ideological developments... which arguably goes back to the 18th century with Rousseau, who basically constructed a philosophy of self apart from the Western Christian belief system, as well as a reaction to the Enlightenment rationalists. Rousseau rejected both divine revelation and human reason as the instruments of attaining true knowledge, and instead said No, we must look within and find true knowledge through our feelings and experiences of the external world.
And everything since then goes from there.
We don't live in an age characterized by atheism/agnosticism/non-religious, its a new religion and has been best described as Expressive Individualism. In other words, the self is elevated to such a point that life now becomes about finding your true, inner self, being authentic to that true self (individualism), and then everyone around you needs to know about it (expressive individualism).
The Marxist shift in society and academia means you can be self righteously nasty and authoritarian about others falling in line to not only know all about your true self, but coerced to positively affirm your true self.
The post Freudian shift in psychology means in your religious practice of Expressive Individualism, you can assume sexuality is essential to identity, and expressive sexuality has no ultimate moral constraints. This is where the indulgence in all t these campy ancient cult imagery and practices has become hip because it expresses in primal and archetypal symbols this new religion.
This new religion, btw, permeates ALL of society no matter the political affiliation... all of us breathe the air. So the CRT, cultural Marxist left, as well as the libertarian / right assume certain divine right of expressive individualist ideas and behaviors that take priority over everything else.
