Russian patriot Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote, “Like parasites, they [lies] can only survive when attached to a person. We are not called upon to step out onto the square, shout out the truth, and say out loud what we think—this is scary; we are not ready. But let us at least refuse to say what we do not think.”
Solzhenitsyn was a faithful Red Army Captain during World War II, but he was sent to a brutal gulag (prison camp) for criticizing Joseph Stalin in a private letter. After his release, he became a famous novelist and critic of Soviet Communism and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1970.
Realistically, all honest lovers of truth will not be as blunt, bold, and brave as Solzhenitsyn. Still, surely principled people will agree with him not to condone, consider, and circulate stupid and dangerous lies.
This principle is similar to Immanuel Kant’s, “There are many things that I believe that I shall never say. But I shall never say the things that I do not believe.”
Today, I am not looking for articulate apologists who are willing to assault leftist barricades by throwing their bodies on the barbed wire but simply looking for honest patriots who are unwilling to accept a lie as truth. That’s a good first step; maybe later, we will enlist warriors for the cause who will risk everything to make all truth important. But not now.
Just don’t recognize a lie as truth.
Radical leftists have pitted race against race to promote their plan to destroy America’s grand experiment in freedom. They have promoted critical race theory, making Whites feel guilty of offenses against Blacks that never happened. This gives cover for black racists to hate Whites without fear of being condemned as the racists they obviously are.
