Correct.  You know why?  Because they are the only ones making personal accusations against me.  The others can defend themselves.  Does that make sense to you? 

 

Your friends do a horrible job defending themselves.

First off who are the “friends” you’re talking about and second why should that be of any concern of mine?

Irrelevant. Trump denied and Americans died. Blood all over Trumps tiny hands.

 

Obama warned us 5 years ago but because he is black and his warning was thrown out with the bath water.

 

THANK YOU TRUMP VOTERS.

 

And thank you @GG for your support of Donald Trump.

 

If you don't like people with blood on their hands I assume you won't be voting for Uncle Joe and did not vote for Ms.  Clinton.

 

They both have the blood of 1,000,000+ brown people on their hands.

Rob, for me this is the biggest threat that this country has faced in my lifetime.  I've already said my piece on this but the growing influence these little moral objectionists is a frightening thought.  It's bad enough they are littered through Big tech, the news rooms, corporate board rooms, sports, Hollywood and Academia.  But what worries me most is if there are enough of these ***** that get voted in to enact God knows what.  

 

In any case, here is another Really good piece from Ross Douthat who is a Conservative with a small C.  He put together a really eloquent well thought out piece that is hot off the presses.

 

 

 

We are living in the beginning of some Orwellian times.  It's only going to get worse, Academia is a factory for these moral authoritarians and they have a stranglehold of the institution.  

 

I agree. I've known in my gut for years that political correctness was the greatest threat to our society, but I couldn't really explain how it would manifest.

 

I read up on the Bolshevik revolution last year and it started to become clear. I became convinced that the progressive movement is actually a covert marxist movement masquerading as social justice. It's the kind of statement that elicited eye rolls and calls of "conspiracy theory," but it is proving true.

 

As I was reading the article you posted I was reminded of a conversation I had on OTW several years ago. I was angrily dismissed as the crazy anti-PC guy by a frothy spherical dude that insisted that PC simply means "perfectly courteous." The problems inherent in the demand of "perfect" courtesy aside, that perception illustrates how political correctness acts as a trojan horse.

 

America was too strong for a Bolshevik style revolution to succeed. Communism was highly unpopular in America and an overt campaign would be futile. Instead they set upon a gradual subversive takeover from within. To succeed it was necessary to sow division, pit groups against each other, tear down the institutions and traditions that have formed our cultural identity, and break the common bonds that unite people and allow us to live in relative harmony as one nation. They've used political correctness to accomplish that.

 

The theme of America as a racist and oppressive country with marginalized victim groups under the constant strain of active racism was steadily drummed into the national conscience. Speech codes with select buzz words were put in place to prevent people from stating truths that ran counter to the narrative. Swift and harsh retribution, demanded by an intolerant minority with the power of the pen, effectively coerced compliance. The buzz words are associated with concepts that evoke a strong emotional response. Once the association is established in the public psychee, language is manipulated to expand what falls under the definition of that buzz word. This enables them to deem that which would otherwise be acceptable as offensive simply by tying it to a buzz word with a negative association.

 

The most obvious example is "racism." The working definition has evolved from something along the lines of unfairly discriminating against others based on race, to believing in one's own racial superiority, to a white person acknowledging any differences in minorities (unless admiring the superiority of that trait), to the act of being born white. That last example is not an exaggeration. In woke terms, racism is inherrent to whiteness and cannot be avoided. The only path to redemption is to accept your own racism and actively work to compensate for it. Consider this against the backdrop of a world where a "racist" is the lowest form of life, and one who must be expelled from society for the betterment of all.

 

One need not actually do anything that is hateful or detrimental to anyone of another to be deemed evil as long as his action or statement can somehow be fitted under the definition of "racist," even if only in a very technical way.

 

This manipulative association applies to symbols of culture and tradition as well.

 

The Kaepernick movement  is a perfect example of manipulating the perception associated with cultural symbolism to erode the spirit of the country. Whatever Kaepernick's reasoning, those pushing the narrative support it because it simultaneously stokes group division (a necessary ingredient) while stripping the flag and anthem, the symbols of our national pride and identity, of their sanctity. If you're trying to topple a society you certainly don't want massive displays of people standing with pride and showing respect to symbols that represent the system you seek to topple.

 

For years they've bent over backwards to deter any public expression of Christianity because it creates a common cultural bond among people (and gives them a higher power to look to than the state). This is why they've fought so hard to suppress Christmas. It's the same reason they want to inject political controversies into sports. They want to pervert every cultural tradition that brings people together.

 

This is the real reason why they need the confederacy to be categorically synonymous with racism and tear down all its remnants. Regardless of one's opinion of the Confederacy, this has nothing to do with eliminating racism or protecting black people from the trauma of being offended by homages to figures from the distant past. They're eliminating any sense of southern identity and dividing people along racial, regional, and cultural lines, but most importantly, they're setting the precedent for eliminating all historical vestiges of "racism."

 

The next stage is the wholesale condemnation of the founding of America. The American people still overwhelmingly respect the founders and the Constitution. They're posturing themselves to jump that hurdle.  We will soon hear growing cries that America was founded by racist slave owners who should not be honored. The ideals of individual liberty on which the country was founded were espoused by those racists and are then maligned by association. The Constitution is based on those ideals and did not immediately outlaw slavery, and is therefore illegitimate.

 

When that time comes, speaking out in defense of the founders will be politically incorrect. It will be seen as an act of racism. It's entirely likely that failure to actively support the movement will put you in company with the untouchables.

 

It's often said, and rarely true, but right now we are living in dangerous times. The foundation of the amazingly stable system of freedom, equality, and prosperity that we increasingly take for granted is being set ablaze. The useful idiots with no plan or direction other than an abstact sense of injustice and desire to be part of an abstract sense of change will ride the crazy train right up to the gates of hell. They don't realize that the people who start revolutions are not the ones who take power in their wake. They believe if things go wrong they can simply change their government. They're going to learn the hard way that once you let a fire get out of hand you can't just put it out.

Oh sorry. I keep my private conversation that....private. Sorry I “nosed” in. I’m just curios who my “friends” are here.

In reading a ton about what the current protest is about, and not caring what the rioters thing, I do respect the protesters and what they are saying. The issue is we have police in these liberal areas that are almost completely immune to responsibility for the actions they take and the police are not there to help people but enforce laws. Where I wonder about the protesters intelligence is if I lived in one of these crap hole places I would move and find a place where the police don't do that. I would vote for people who would not allow the police to do no knock warrants, and most importantly I would not repeatedly vote for the same people who caused my neighborhood to suck as these neighborhoods apparently do. These people need to take charge where they can and change the direction of the area they live.

The "no snitch" law within the black community is the biggest problem.

 

Until that problem is solved there will always be discourse.

Once more police departments get abolished, the exercising of their 2nd amendment right within city limits will become a greater priority. Gun control will become harder to enforce. Progress.

That was very well thought out and written.  I agree with just about everything you’ve said even though a couple of the points you made were never internalized until now.  Thanks for that.

Businesses will leave. I don’t see how they think this is going to work.

 

Never mind; I do know.
