In 1964, a young University of Michigan anthropologist went to live with a tribe untouched by modernity.
What he found destroyed the noble savage myth.
Then his own discipline spent the next four decades trying to destroy him for publishing it. 🧵
I say this as someone who grew up around a bunch of lukewarm Catholicism, left the Church for about a decade, then returned with a renewed fire of love:
Lukewarm Catholicism might be more dangerous than atheism and all the false religions in the entire world…
because the lukewarm allow the false ideas to spread.
While God can easily destroy any heresy, it is His will to create heroes. God expects His warriors to be brave in order to be His instruments.
The Catholic Church on Earth is called Church Militant for a reason. Those in Heaven are Church Triumphant, but the crown comes after the battle.
July 17, 2022. Greenwood Park Mall, Indiana.
A mass shooter armed with an assault rifle and 100+ rounds opened fire in the food court.
Families dove under tables in terror. Blood on the tile floor.
Across the food court was 22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken.
He had no military background. No law enforcement training.
Just an ordinary American boy who practiced shooting with his grandfather.
He didn't run.
He hid his girlfriend behind a trash can, unholstered his Glock, and moved toward the gunfire.
From forty yards away—an impossible distance for a pistol under combat stress—Eli braced against a pillar.
In FIFTEEN SECONDS, he fired ten rounds.
Eight hit the shooter.
The killer fell dead before police even arrived.
The Police Chief walked up to the cameras:
"Many more people would have died tonight if it weren't for a responsible armed citizen. This young man is a true American hero."
The media tells you guns are the problem.
Elisjsha Dicken proved that a good man with a gun is the solution. 🇺🇸🎯🦅
THEN: The Nazis euthanized 250,000 mentally ill people during WWII.
NOW: Canada will vote October 7 on whether to euthanize mentally ill people.
And they say we're Nazis.
