Excellent analogy. Progressives think there is some perfect system. It can only be attained by absolute control of both mind and body, and forest. And climate. They have proven themselves spectacularly wrong, and yet persist in the belief that they are right.
I believe they know they are wrong but their greed and lust for power and control is their God so they will continue as they’ve been doing and acknowledge no wrongdoing or malfeasance.
Progressives believe that unanimity is possible. That is their deepest delusion. I noticed it four decades ago reading Arthur C. Clark's "Childhood's End." After putting humans on welfare for a few decades, the aliens reveal themselves to look like devils. No significant resistance happens. Later, the children merge with the Overmind and leave the adults behind. Not a single remaining adult couple attempts to make more children.
This delusion explains the COVID response. If EVERY person socially isolated for a few weeks the virus would have died out. But it required EVERY person. Couldn't happen.
Cormac McCarthy used 'carrying the fire' as a symbolic expression of civilization (and courage, two things which are closely linked, although that's rarely noted) in several novels. The Road, No Country for Old Men, Blood Meridian...

Fire as analogy for desire, hedonism, and greed.
The American Imperium, fueled by the Fed, embodies “Worldly Goods.”
It has corrupted so completely that our society has brought down the flames upon itself and still cannot repent of its foolishness. Sodom and Gomorrah have become the ideal, not the warning.
From the Secret Service’s performance to Kamala Harris’s career to the LA fires, everywhere we look we see the fruits of DEI. The result is a barely functioning society whose elites have increasingly embraced anarchotyranny as a governing philosophy.
Planned obsolescence. The “green earthers” were infiltrated by communists decades ago, like many, many, many other institutions. And they still “know not what they do.”

This is so on point that I got goosebumps over and over. I’m sharing it. Thank you.

Great essay.

The communists in charge in LA are right in schedule for the eminent destruction of western society.
Yup they ran out of useful idiots and now they're getting a stronge response for the RSVPs sent to useless idiots.
It always ends this way with the Left. Always
James Baldwin told us years ago the fire next time.
Nailed it beautifully.
Fire in the minds of men will never ever be quenched!
Comrade Yuri: Thank you for your fiery assessment of today’s hot topic. 🔥🔥🔥
Excellent piece.
Well said, Yuri.
From the Secret Service’s performance to Kamala Harris’s career to the LA fires, everywhere we look we see the fruits of DEI. The result is a barely functioning society whose elites have increasingly embraced anarchotyranny as a governing philosophy.
What a succinct commentary on the reality of today and an excellent analogy.
If this horrible nightmare that is consuming the greater LA area doesn’t red pill the masses I’m not sure what will.
Only a fellow countryman of Fjodor Dostojewski could write such a powerful article on current events ...
My deepest respect to you and your beautiful mind !!🤗🤗

We are nature, and nature renews, somethimes annually as with the seasons, or sometimes over decades and centuries. But nature renews.
