‘A man has as many masters as he has vices’: How moral decay fuels political control
Augustine of Hippo is one of the most influential philosophers and Christian theologians in history, and he had a stark warning for the Western world: "A man has as many masters as he has vices."
And Seth Gruber, CEO of White Rose Resistance, is relaying this warning, explaining that it means “by promoting vice, the regime promotes slavery, which can then be fashioned into a form of political control.”
“That sentence I just said Allie Beth is the beating heart of libido dominandi: the lust to dominate,” he tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey on “Relatable.”
“Dominion becomes domination when man listens to and accepts the serpent’s counterfeit kingdom. And the things that we were called to steward ... become the very things we are now enslaved to,” he says.
“Domination is a reflection of your own slavery projected onto others. But dominion is a reflection of your own stewardship exercised on behalf of others. So one is the city of man, and one is the city of God,” he continues. “But in each case, it reveals who or what we really worship.”
"Vice," Gruber explains, "is contagious.”
And like anything contagious, it’s easily spread.
“Tyrants work very hard to spread the infection,” he explains, “because they know that a virtuous populace cannot be controlled. So they have to corrupt, seduce, blackmail. They have to weaponize lust.”
Gruber likens this to Jeffrey Epstein, because if “you cannot defeat militarily, you can always corrupt through sexual enticement.”
“Maybe that’s why the Epstein list will never get released,” he adds.
Stuckey agrees, adding, "What a fascinating, very disturbing connection ... Epstein, you can just see it."
