Metaphysics is the theoretical frame within-which everything is explained.
Leftism, political correctness is not really a religion (it has so few
features of a religion, that such a description is misleading) - but it is a metaphysical system.
The word ideology is a partial, confused, incoherent synonym for metaphysics - indeed ideology is metaphysics for those who do not wish to acknowledge the vital role of metaphysics; who want to conceal that they are preaching metaphysics- who want their metaphysical system to be invulnerable because its existence is denied.

For example the Left used Science against all religious metaphysical systems, but science itself had depended on a metaphysical system which (for example) regards truth as a virtue (i.e. Christianity or Judaism) - so by using science against religion, Leftism was destroying science: indeed, Leftism was destroying even the possibility of science.

Specifically, the theory of evolution by natural selection was used to destroy Christianity; claiming that natural selection was empirically-validated science; when in reality natural selection is formally a metaphysical system: that is, an explanatory framework within which science may be done, but not itself a science.
(That is why the theory of evolution by natural selection formally cannot be refuted. Nor can it be supported.)
Leftism has used (and then discarded) various ethical principles to break-down Christian metaphysics - for instance Equality, or Justice, or Economics, or Freedom, or Democracy.
These are deployed as frameworks within-which reality is to be understood, explained, manipulated - therefore they are functioning as metaphysical systems (albeit small, feeble, partial, incoherent, fuzzy, ludicrous metaphysical systems) - but their real nature is denied, and it is asserted that these principles are derived from experience, knowledge, effectiveness...

When
a new metaphysical system has been implemented, when a person or a culture is inside a new metaphysical system - then everything else is
constrained by that system - what counts as knowledge, truth, beauty,
virtue is defined; the possibility of motivation and purpose; almost everything is
constrained by metaphysics.
There is no argument against a new metaphysics from observation, from experience, from logic - which is why the Left never learn.
(Metaphysics does not learn - it is that within-which learning is defined.)
They never learn because they are inside a metaphysical system while denying the reality of metaphysical systems.The fly in the bottle.
Once the new metaphysics is in place - reality is framed by it, evaluations are constrained by it,the battle is won.

Probably, Satan's greatest triumph has been the destruction of real metaphysics: purely free; but with profound and universal consequences.
Satan's greatest triumph has therefore been metaphysical - he is the most successful career philosopher in history (certainly, the most highly-cited).
And the triumph has been made possible by the mass media: the modern metaphysical system derives-from and is propagated-by and enforced-by the mass media.

How should the modern metaphysical system be evaluated? The answer is - only from the basis of another metaphysical system.
All possible evaluations, criticisms, are based on metaphysical assumptions. So if we point-out that modern Leftism is incoherent, that assumes that incoherence is a problem - while for Leftist metaphysics, its own incoherence is not a problem.
If we point-out that Leftist metaphysics is unfit for use: leads to despair, has destroyed science and the arts and education, that it cannot motivate or provide meaning - then such critique is based on the metaphysical assumption that these are bad things; which Leftist metaphysics will not accept.
If, indeed, we point-out that Leftist metaphysics is almost-wholly negative and oppositional - and therefore must lead to a human life and society which is almost-wholly negative and oppositional; then Leftism merely responds that (from where Leftism is standing, which is implicitly inside its own metaphysic) that is just the way that things are - and Leftism is merely honestly reporting on the inevitable reality of the situation.

So Satan has the West in his grip, inside his metaphysics; and part of Satan's metaphysics is to cloak its own metaphysical nature - and to derive its (pseudo-) validity from what were previously regarded as sub-metaphysical domains such as science, politics, economics - even 'ethics' regarded as a free-standing discourse (i.e. 'ethics' when discussed without even an implicit reference to life's nature, purpose, meaning!).
The answer? A different metaphysics.
One can only fight metaphysics with metaphysics.
*
But which metaphysics can beat the Left? Not a made-up thing, for sure. Satanic Leftism cannot be defeated at the level of philosophical discourse - of course not!
It can be beaten and will only be beaten by a metaphysics based on a realer, deeper, more motivated, more meaningful basis...
In other words, Leftism can be beaten, and can only be beaten, by a religion.
And that is our choice - Leftism or Religion.

If not Leftism, then CHOOSE YOUR RELIGION.
Simple as that.

Note added: The mantra 'choose your religion' is predicated on the fact that only a religion will work, only a religion is capable. Many have noticed that the traditional Western religion of Christianity is substantially a fake among those who profess it (i.e. self-identified Christians are mostly first Leftists, and only secondarily Christian). Others have noted that - as a matter of fact - the West is not re-adopting Christianity, and as a matter of probability there seems little chance that the West will re-adopt Christianity. However, these facts and probabilities do not affect the argument that only a religion can combat Leftism - they merely suggest that there is little evidence for, and little prospect of, the defeat of Leftism by religion in the West. I is very simple: if people choose to reject religion, then they simply will not defeat Leftism.
