Bacchanalian frenzy

The diabolical irony in the culture wars is that only one side has a real stake in the outcome. The innocent have everything to lose. Christians and observant Jews have everything to lose. But the progressives have nothing to gain. Yes, they can achieve power, but to what end? Their agenda won't usher in utopia. Their ideology isn't a recipe for happiness and personal fulfillment. It strews misery and destruction in its wake. It's like the October Revolution, Cuban Revolution, and Cultural Revolution. A bacchanalian frenzy culminating in partiers rending each other limb from limb.

It reminds me of Perelandra, where the Queen has everything to lose by succumbing while the Un-Man has nothing to gain by winning. Mindless destruction of the good because evil can't abide goodness. Destruction for its own sake. The fleeting thrill of vandalism.
