G.K. Chesterton noted that since “the new rebel is a Sceptic” the rebel will “not entirely trust anything” and since the rebels have “no loyalty” they “can never be really a revolutionist” because:
“…the fact that he doubts everything really gets in his way when he wants to denounce anything. For all denunciation implies a moral doctrine of some kind; and the modern revolutionist doubts not only the institution he denounces, but the doctrine by which he denounces it” (from the book Orthodoxy’s chapter “The Suicide of Thought”).
Thus, it is fascinating to see what is going on, protest-wise, within our college campuses.
During the 1960s AD the new rebels figured out with some rapidity that getting their heads bashed in by cops on the streets was not very much fun.
Thus, these rebels infiltrated the new media, education, entertainment, politics, the social sciences, etc. and faded into the background so as to influence culture from behind the scenes, from the roots on up.
Now, after urging rebellious deconstruction of traditional cultural ethics (read, Judeo-Christian values) this generation’s rebellious chickens crossed the road and are coming home to roost via attacking not only the institutions they denounces, but the doctrine by which they denounces it.
Thus, they attempt to stick it to the maaaan and then also turn on the very institutions who taught them how to rebel: the professors and the admins of the colleges.
Once you rebel against everything you end up rebelling against your fellows and yourself. Thus, the wretched snake eats its own tail which is something about which Chesterton also remarked, “a serpent with his tail in his mouth. There is a startling sarcasm in the image of that very unsatisfactory meal.”
Add to this the oddity of some transgendered and/or transsexual personages protesting Bruce-Caitlyn Jenner and we see how it is only a matter of time until the rebel seeks satisfaction in that very unsatisfactory meal.
Indeed, the meal will not satisfy which is why they will continue to seek satisfaction and finding none-as rebel Rolling Stones admitted, “I can’t get no satisfaction but I try”-they will continue on until they are physically, emotionally and spiritually emaciated…and will then protest society, their fellows and themselves for such a result.
