Civility is overrated.

It’s interesting to see its limited correlation to “religion” — perhaps, even to faith. I believe “religion” does build many of the houses in which “civility” lives. It did in Canada. It brings in and makes respectable concepts that barbarian societies would scoff at. Even the atheists of the founding times found the bible to be built around wisdom, which is a different breed from the modern kind who see their missions as to mock everything that Christianity caused to be built.

But keeping these houses is a different story from building these houses. Sans faith, they are nice for a while, but will become decrepit and eventually collapse.

The hew and cry for “civility” only comes forth when the anti-commiescum side of the divide is starting to win ground in the Culture War.

What is meant by “civility”, in such times as this, is for the anti-commiescum side of the fight to sit down, shut up and let the commiescum win.
