A recent, popular post God Help Us reminded me of an episode in the series Vikings. King Aelle of Northumbria is informed that the Great Heathen Army is at hand and marches his army out to meet them.
The King, with the Bishop by his side, is openly contemptuous of what they believe is the Great Heathen Army. However, the Vikings have only revealed a fraction of their army, the remainder being hidden by the terrain.
As more and more of the Great Heathen Army reveals itself, the King’s and Bishops’ contemptuousness is replaced by shock and terror. The Bishop exclaims “God Help Us!” The King, a devout man but the veteran of many battles, replies, “I don’t think he can.”
“I don’t think he can” is also the appropriate response to God Help Us. The Left has controlled “higher education” for decades. The “protests” are simply one manifestation of the Woke-Communism that “students” are taught.
But it is hardly just “higher education.” The Left controls every major institution, and the GOP is just controlled opposition. Just a few examples … the GOP in DC sends hundreds of billions to protect Ukraine’s borders but does nothing to secure America’s open borders; the GOP in Concord is obsessed with destroying single-family-zoning (massing up New Hampshire) and does nothing to actually stop the DEI (anti-white racism) permeating the public schools.
So, yeah, the appropriate response tot God Help Us is what King Aelle said.
