Living in the past isn’t living at all. Juneteenth as a federal holiday is a time capsule political spell
Let’s be clear, there isn’t anything wrong with remembering history. In fact, the further away from the past we go, it becomes all the more important to remember where we came from. Just as journaling causes us to reflect on our past and take inventory of our improvements. The same is to be said for history. We shouldn’t erase the embarrassing parts of our journal that are in the past, just because we’ve evolved and outgrown that phase, but neither should we obsess over it if we’ve evolved. and It’s increasingly easy to forget the origins of the struggle that countries overcame to get where they are today. Especially for “first world” civilizations, we take for granted the numerous services our tax dollars provide us. How and why are certain people manipulated to take a country for granted that others risk their lives to get to? This is why living in the past isn’t living at all.
“The problem of freedom is not only a quantitative one, but a qualitative one, that we not only have to preserve and increase the traditional freedom but that we have to gain a new kind of freedom, one which enables us to realize our own individual self’ to have faith in this self and in life.”-Erich Fromm
The democrat’s latest spell entrapment to keep blacks trapped in the past was announced last week. Juneteenth will be observed as a national holiday. Manipulating time is often seen in science fiction or Christopher Nolan movies. We’re taught that there needs to be complex machinery with a giant hoop to jump through and this will take us back to the past. Quite often the motive is to change the past to prevent a worse event from happening in the near future. The issue is, once the past is tampered with, the future becomes more dangerous than the motive of why you wanted to change the past in the first place. Manipulating reality is just one of the tools of Russian ideological Marxist subversion.
Furthermore, social justice via fighting racism will be used as a scapegoat to weaken the countries nationalist pride and morals. It is very difficult to think objectively while in an emotional state. A George Floyd statue was already vandalized after being unveiled in Brooklyn on juneteenth. This keeps our emotions high until the next police shooting. How can we be in the present when constantly being reminded of the past? Being pandered to and validating our victim mindset mirrors Stockholm syndrome. We choose to identify with politicians because they attend a sermon during election season for our votes, or visit our barbershops. Now it’s acknowledging slavery coddling our emotions and sensitivity. To the point where it’s nearly impossible to not see today’s world without the lens of the past. This is extremely dangerous, as the country has changed. It’s not to say that racism doesn’t exist, but how free can we really be if we think not much has changed from hundreds of years ago?
However, the irony of it all is that those who celebrated juneteenth more than likely fear their own freedom. If people really believed they were free, why do they constantly need to be reminded? Because freedom means you have to take all the blame and responsibility for your life. And we know people are too prideful to admit that they were responsible for their own shortcomings in life. Denial is a very strong survival mechanism. Everyone knows that slavery happened here, and there’s tons of movie and documentaries. Was the advocating and celebration of Juneteenth a Freudian slip of grand proportions that we failed to recognize?.
Asking and demanding freedom in a first-world country is an amazing contradiction. What type of spiritual warfare battle wages on with these people? Modern western society has trained us to look externally for all our answers. Before it was humans now it’s the internet. Someone that felt free inside would never even consider using their energy to make Juneteenth a holiday. Juneteenth as a federal holiday is more of a mind F%@k than it is about racism. Racism is being used against us more than with just color but as a spiritual attack to keep our minds focused on the material world.
In conclusion, Blacks can choose to belong to the group of past and presently oppressed which will grant them the security of the state. Or embrace dangerous freedom as a sovereign individual not caught up in identity politics. Willing to see things for what they truly are without belong to a group. Our dependence and recognition for more and more freedom reflect the lack of freedom we have inside ourselves. Hustle culture, consumerism, lifestyle habits, degenerate pop culture all play a role in the quality of our inner freedom as well. Yet if the people are manipulative as a collective to demand external freedom while ignoring internal freedom their plane is working extremely well. Remember there are inmates serving life sentences that are freer than law-abiding citizens roaming the earth every day.
