They Won’t Awaken for Fear of Losing the Dream By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com
The great citizens of a country are not those who bend the knee before authority but rather those who, against authority if need be, are adamant as to the honor and freedom of that country.
– Albert Camus, Resistance, Rebellion, and Death
The task of men…is not to desert historical struggles nor to serve the cruel and inhuman elements in those struggles. It is rather to remain what they are, to help man against what is oppressing him, to favor freedom against the fatalities that close in upon it.…Man’s greatness…lies in his decision to be greater than his condition. And if his condition is unjust, he has only one way of overcoming it, which is to be just himself.

Those familiar with the story of Noah’s Ark will know the ancient patriarch, as described in the Bible’s Book of Genesis, built a ship to ensure his family’s lineage through a great global flood. The mass population of Noah’s day would not survive the coming carnage and the people lived without any knowledge of what was about to happen. Perhaps they even ridiculed Noah and his family for building the ark. Regardless, the Walking Dead lived the dream until their world ended, abruptly, in a deluge that swept them to their respective deaths.
Genesis Chapter Six tells of “giants on the earth” that became “heroes” to the wicked Walking Dead of that ancient zeitgeist; and the flood manifested as a result of the God of Creation seeing that “the wickedness of man was great in the earth” (Genesis 6:5).
Noah, however, “found grace in the eyes of the Lord” (Genesis 6:8). In the Bible’s original language, the word “grace” may also be translated as “favor”.
Therefore, according to the Bible, the God of Creation held Noah in higher regard than the Antediluvian Walking (soon to be swimming) Dead.
Now, regardless of anyone’s belief, or non-belief, in Biblical Scripture, it is being cited here for purposes of illustration; and because Bible stories and characters offer a universal reference point from which to begin a conversation. Additionally, for anyone paying attention, there is no denying America has become a dead nation walking – and prior to the coming storm.
For the sake of this post, the modern-day giants on the earth could be considered as the titans who govern international corporations and organizations. Undeniably, the present-day Walking Dead view these corporate overlords, and their governmental attendants, as heroes; but today’s plebeians are just part of another generation led astray, persuaded down a primrose path in a perverse and perilous parade.
