Progressivism and Planned Obsolescence
Progressives say mankind is improving,
so, moral laws are no longer needed.
The goal for mankind is self-expression,
hence the need for new social conventions.
That which is old is no longer useful,
So, out with the old, and in with the new.
No need for God, man is his own master.
Experts and scientists are the new gods.
Man has no natural, God-given rights.
The unelected experts who make laws,
who enforce them and judge violators,
determine man’s rights and how he should live.
Under the new order, man is a slave,
to passions, merchants, and material wants.
The merchants market their wares and new goods,
and untamed passions demand what is new.
Out with the old God who gives what is best.
In with the new gods, who chain and oppress.
Out with morals that refine and uplift,
In with new fads that confuse and degrade.
Out with values that promote stable lives.
In with fads that lead to unstable lives.
Out with the traditional family.
In with the experimental household.
Out with a stable society,
and in with a violent society.
Out with governable citizens,
and in with ungovernable rebels.
Out with a progressive society.
In with a regressive society.
That which promised the advancement of man,
will lead to the abolition of man.
Citizens of the world open your eyes.
Look beyond those who pretend to be gods,
to the true God who only is all-wise.
He is the only Savior for mankind.
