The key to the metaphor is the aggressive shaking of the jar.

This is what the media does so well.
People are normally myopic about their problems, and aren’t usually looking for the big picture, but 99.999% of the time can keep their head even when things are going badly. But if you can convince people that all these social and political forces and groups are an existential threat, you’ve got people ready for war.

Well, as far as race goes, that little ol’ jar-rocker Obama.

Who collected them? Who put them in the jar? THAT’S the true prime mover behind everything.

Very true.

The government, having discovered an entirely new spectrum of power it can exert over the population from the CV-19 episode, is busying itself coming up with all manner of new restrictions. It is constructing a cage and looking around for any kind of stick laying around it can poke thru the bars of the cage to harass and intimidate.

The jar is the planet, where we are all born and must live in. The one doing the agitating is not the one who put us here, but the one rocking the boat.

Clever but the truth is you don’t need to shake it. They will fight automatically.

Not to mention, different color ants are different species.

Racism is not natural, nor normal. It still takes someone to create the hate.

Put two young boys together, and they will play. Bring in their parents, and if one hates, then the boys will learn from the adult who is the agitator.

I think the Leftists in the media, in politics, in Academia, and even in the permanent bureaucracy, are mostly useful idiots.

There are unseen Marxist strategists behind-the-scenes constantly generating these divisive narratives, skillfully weaponizing them, and identifying the most useful idiots through which to deliver them.

The goal is the destruction of our self-governing republic. Liberty and Self-governance are the natural enemies of tyranny - and Marxism is just an instruction book for would by tyrants.

Marxism shows the would be tyrant…

First, how to create divisions in order to deceive a free and self-governing society into perceiving itself as having failed in many ways.
Next, how to use those perceived failures as “proof” that freedom and self-governance just don’t work - that people are too selfish to self-govern.
Next, how to offer Totalitarianism as a better alternative (usually by some nicer sounding name, such as Progressivism, or Social Democracy).

“who the enemy really is” ... Satan. It takes awhile for people to catch on. St. Maria Goretti learned it at age 11. Some never learn and will say, “Hey, wait a minute. I’ve been ripped off. Where’s all my friends to help me cool off?” Forever.

How does a person defeat the real enemy? The simplest way is to recite the rosary daily. That’s what Padre Pio suggested.

You can recite a necklace all you want, I’ll call on Jesus

He died for our sins, and last time I checked he was’t wearing a necklace with a cross on it.

He was on the cross.

Christ is my High Priest, not a human calling himself the Pope.

You want to replace the Jewish Priesthood. Sorry, but thanks to Jesus, I and every Christian is a Priest which allows us to go straight to God through our forever High Priest, Jesus the Christ.
