Not that it’s any surprise, but here we go again. Rationality Rules made a  video, which, absolutely is true for what it’s doing, but he completely ignores the fact that his own political ideology  does exactly the same thing. He can’t acknowledge that, can he? He can’t even see it happening.

He can’t look in the mirror and use the same standards against himself. What else is new?

So first, here’s the video if you want to go look at it. I encourage you to do so because the points he makes against the pastor are absolutely legitimate. I’ll wait until you get  back. Take your time.

Yet, as you watch the video, keep in the back of your mind some of the things you see from the hardcore left because they’re doing the exact same thing.

Case in point, ever since they released the trailer for the X-Men ’97 TV show and people started complaining that it’s a woke mess, the left have been screaming that “the X-Men have always been woke!”

Nope. I mean sure, if you only came to them in the late 90s and early 2000s, then maybe that’s your perception, but it was never created as an allegory of the civil rights movement. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby did nothing of the sort. They gave multiple interviews stating clearly that the only reason they came up with the mutant idea in the first place was because that way, they didn’t have to come up with individual back stories for the characters explaining their powers. Everyone understood the implications of being a “mutant”. According to Wikipedia, “The modern concept of mutants as a distinct species independent of homo sapiens began development under Marvel writer and editor-in-chief Stan Lee in the early 1960s, as a means to create a large number of superheroes and supervillains without having to think of a separate origin for each one.” It wasn’t until the Chris Claremont years, in the 80s, that the idea of mutants being a stand-in for anyone who has ever been bullied or mistreated started to come about. I know because I was reading it back then.

So, what are the left, who have a vested interest in pushing the idea that the X-Men have always  been the standard bearers of DEI, doing here? Exactly the same thing that Rationality Rules is claiming about the pastor.

Of course, there are many. many, many other examples of this happening where they try to retroactively change history to fit in with their modern hard-left views. They’re out there destroying monuments, illegally I might add, because they don’t like what they represent. Sorry, but if  you want to have a monument removed, there is a legal means to do so. Taking a sledgehammer to it isn’t it. Of course, they’re just taking a page out of Josef Stalin’s playbook, where they changed history books and removed pictures as a way to change what children were permitted to learn about the past. Stalin is a poster boy for a lot of these left-wing lunatics.

I find it funny that even groups like ISIS and the Taliban criticized the efforts as “inspiring but a bit amateur”. According to ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi, “Destroying all art, culture, and history from previous eras is obviously constructive, but they’ve got to do it in a more dramatic way. We beheaded statues with a sword. The Taliban blew up ancient Buddhas with dynamite. Tying a statue to a truck and dragging it down just doesn’t have the same dramatic effect.” If the terrorists agree with you but think that what you’re doing is a bit shit, I think you’ve got some problems.

Even Bill Maher, who is a leftist asshole, criticizes the attempt to reshape history to “to control the present”. According to Maher, “Liberals accusing conservatives of wanting to whitewash the past, and sometimes that’s true, sometimes they do. But, plenty of liberals also want to abuse history to control the present.”

Maybe you all ought to grow up. History is what history is and the only sure way to make the same mistakes from history is to forget what actually happened. Of course, the left won’t admit to their hypocrisy. They don’t want to admit that it was their side that came up with the KKK. More recently, they don’t want to talk about the “summer of love” where their side torched cities and caused billions of dollars in damage because they were too busy throwing childish temper tantrums. Nope, those things don’t exist anymore because they’ve been memory-holed and that’s exactly what they are trying to do. They want kids to think that they have always been the righteous holders of the sacred flame, for more than throwing molotov cocktails at things they don’t like.

I can come up with so many examples of this going on, the left criticizing the right, often rightfully so, while forgetting that they are guilty of exactly the same thing. Does the right do that too? Absolutely. That’s why we have to call out both of them for it. They just don’t want that, do they? They’d rather live in an emotionally-comforting happy land in their heads.

We cannot let them get away with it. Let’s remind them just how terrible their own histories are, even recent histories. They seem to only want to tell one side of the story while trying to polish their own turd.

I say hell no.
