“You Are Not One Of Us!”

Identity politics is real. There’s nothing new under heaven. The account of the Bible is complete and history repeats itself until we understand what it is teaching us.

Outliers will always be seen as the enemy of society. Your uniqueness will always threaten those that are threatened by change. This is no respecter of your visible impact or influence in any given society at any given time (Chrono and Kairos).

If David were to kill Goliath in our day and age the mob will argue that Goliath had a terminal disease and would have died eventually. Even in David’s time his feat didn’t absolve him from the wrath (spears) of Saul.

“You are not One of Us” — social stratification and identity politics of hate are not only limited to religious and ethnic bigotry, as the borders are expansive to include identity political affiliations, gender confusions and other psychotic, frivolous and vexatious antagonism.

On our side of town, we have more to worry about because of the size of the village of the highly impressionable, willfully blind and functional illiterates that proliferate our clime.

To most historians mankind’s greatest invention may be fire, the wheel or the sword but I will agree with the outliers that believe that the greatest invention is arguably HISTORY itself. It is nothing but carefully curated and shaped narrative under the thumb strokes of the right scribe. A phenomenon, under our post modernistic world, that makes heroes of villains, one that transforms blatant lies into beliefs, alternative fact or genetically modified truth.

History is the ultimate weapon because it harnesses time itself. When used correctly, the past can alter the present as the present shapes the future.
