In his recent letter to the Free Press, Sveto Djokic suggested that the Free Press stop printing stop printing the regular Armstrong column, or that others stop replying to them.
I would disagree even though there so-called ideology is the product of what is best known as pseudo-intellectualism.
If one looks at their columns, what one finds is that they keep repeating the same things over and over again. When faced with hard facts by others, they ignore them, resort to some theoretical haven, or accuse others of not knowing what they are talking about.
They, therefore, represent exactly what is also found in such individuals as former Free Press columnist, Rick Wagner, “I already know and don't have to listen to anyone else.”
Such individuals believe that they have somehow found something new. They haven't.
It is but the resurrection of old ideas repackaged, and presented once again. It is only accepted by those who are gullible enough to accept it, or do so because it suits their purpose to do so.
Those who wish to understand them might like to read the book “Anthem,” written by their heroine Ayn Rand. There we see these poor souls wandering aimlessly through some forest, searching for they know not what, until the chance upon some temple.
Notably, it is something that was constructed by others, not themselves. Such is what the Armstrong ideology is all about.
I say let the Armstrong column run. But, let those who disagree with them also be heard in order to point out how intellectually shallow and false is their theology of materialism, selfishness and greed.
The Armstrong's deceive nobody but themselves and their acolytes.
