A friend of Renewanation, who is alerting his community to the prejudicial effects of
CRT [Critical Race Theory] in public schools, informed us he was “doxed,” and
had received threatening phone calls to his home.
“When you fight back against equity/CRT, it gets ugly,” he wrote. “There are groups out there who target people who speak out against CRT. One such group sent a letter to the employer of an individual who worked with me, telling this man’s employer about his 'anti-equity rhetoric,' and claiming he was 'attacking' a community group 'that was supporting racial diversity and inclusion.'"
In that letter, this man’s adversaries wrote: “We share this with you
because we are concerned that Mr. ________ might also be bringing a biased
attitude—implicitly or explicitly—into his work for your company…We felt that
you should know.”
Our friend continued: “These are the tactics they use. They try to get people fired, and ruin their name
and life. It is dirty. Other people self-censor because they fear these
attacks.”
This is what
Rod Dreher calls “soft totalitarianism.”
In his book,
Live Not by Lies, Dreher helps Followers of Christ to not be surprised when
“soft totalitarianism” reveals its ugly face. It has been increasing in recent
years, with cake decorators being sued for not making cakes for same-sex weddings, and the like.
“Hard
totalitarianism” took place in Russia following the Bolshevik revolution.
Freedom of speech disappeared, and people were afraid to express their thoughts,
lest they be reported by a neighbor and disciplined by the State. Freedom of
religious expression (other than State-approved expression), disappeared. Prison
time resulted for some. Many Christ-Followers gathered in secret.
Dreher
traveled to former "Eastern Block" countries of the now-defunct Soviet Union to interview Christ-Followers
who lived through the totalitarianism of “the Soviet days.” He wanted to learn how
these people navigated those rough waters, so he could help Christ-Followers
in America to deal with the increasing “soft totalitarianism” of today’s 'cancel culture.'
You, too, may become a target. Perhaps you've already been one.
You don't have to write a letter to the editor to become a target. All you have to do is not wear a rainbow pin on your collar when the rest of your co-workers do.
The State will not send you to prison, but many “Social Justice Warriors” will see to it that you pay—one way or another.
