Luke Smith talks about the phenomenon of being a “bugman”, which has become more common in young folks today who have taken the cultural Marxist idea of “rebellion” to its ultimate end: where people are rejecting the traditions of their families to the point of completely ejecting themselves from tribal identity altogether, and embracing a superficially mundane and individual identity that ultimately destroys social cohesion.
You also see this pattern in businesses, churches, and sports that are quick to reject their traditions on the belief that embracing something new is always better.
Or consider this analogy: If you want a really good lasagna, what is the best way to prepare it? Using the long-standing, tried-and-true family recipe that has been handed down for generations? Or sitting down with your books and researching the best way to mix the scientifically-correct proportion of ingredients? Call me old-fashioned but I think I’ll take mom’s lasagna every time.
“Even if you don’t understand why they make sense, sometimes they do.”
The portion from 6:35 – 7:50 is probably the perfect explanation for why the old, Traditional Latin Mass is preferable to the New Mass. The former was handed down and perfected for 1,900 years whereas the latter was drawn up in a “clean room” by a handful of “scholars” who didn’t know anything about the things they changed.
