That was the headline of a really great article on Breitbart this morning. It was getting Phil Robertson’s take on “the cancel culture”, the leftist mob whose latest target is Joe Rogan. Two paragraphs stuck with me the most: “They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity,” he continued. “They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice, they’re gossips, slanderous, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, boastful, they invent ways of doing evil.”
And then they asked Phil about the wisdom of apologizing or trying to placate the mob: “The cancel mob, they don’t really want anything. They just want to destroy, and still, some people — who are getting canceled — they think that an apology to the people who simply want to do them harm might be productive. But it generally doesn’t work. People are generally not interested in apologies.”
That’s something I’ve noticed over the decades, the left looks at an apology as a weakness and it simply propels them to attack even harder. A lot of people on the right make the mistake that their opponents are similar to them and that in the end they’re basically decent people. That’s just not true. They are basically evil degenerates devoid of the Holy Spirit and are thus guided by the Devil. You can’t make deals with people who only want to destroy you.
Phil Robertson is similar to a number of people who have fooled me by their appearance. I look at his casual dress and backwoods appearance, and I tend to pigeonhole him as someone simple, someone who is too unsophisticated to understand the ways of the world. And as is often the case, I am way behind them in understanding and comprehension.
