This past Saturday in San Fransisco, a “Free Speech Rally against Twitter and Big Tech” was organized by a Conservative group outraged by the efforts of Twitter, Facebook and others to suppress the New York Post’s recent Biden expose. Scheduled and legally licensed to occur at U.N. Plaza not far from Twitter’s headquarters, it naturally attracted a horde of counter-protesters, some dressed in black, bearing shields and clearly prepared for violence. Impervious to Irony and, apparently, Twentieth Century History, they bore signs saying “Smash Fascism” and “Nazi Trump Fuck Off.” As one of the main organizers of the rally, a young Black man named Philip Anderson, approached the stage at approximately 1 P.M. to address the crowd, he was viciously smashed in the mouth by one of the “counter-protesters.” Pictures of him exist online, two bloodied teeth dangling grotesquely over his lower lip. The police saw fit to cancel the rally, indeed, fearing for the safety of Anderson’s “conservative” confederates, escorted them away from the increasingly threatening mob. Interviewed shortly thereafter, Anderson lamented “this is what our country has turned into.”
There is no reasoning with the Left. Incidents such as the above are a daily occurrence. While my Canadian “liberal” acquaintances disavow the violence of Antifa and their allies, they and indeed most of my “conservative” friends maintain that White Supremacy as personified by Donald Trump remains the most egregious threat to our Democracies. Ignoring the violence perpetrated day after day in America’s streets by Fascist Leftists, they simply cannot acknowledge that most of what gets denounced as White Supremacy here in the West is a product of the absurdly biased narrative foisted upon it by several generations of Leftist Ideologues and their mindless, mainstream minions.
Examples: If you are of the perfectly rational opinion that Christianity, the dominant religion of the West, has evolved, however imperfectly, well beyond some of the truly primitive aspects of world-wide Islam, you are a White Supremacist.
If you refuse to accept the gross exaggeration that Western Colonialism is preeminently responsible for the poverty, disease, religious intolerance and tribal strife evident in much of the Third World, you are a White Supremacist.
If you disagree with the N.Y. Times’ “1619 Project” which re-defines American history, making Slavery rather than a quest for Political and Religious Freedom the primary factor in its evolution, you are a White Supremacist.
Indeed if you are convinced that a Rational/Scientific approach to the empirical world utterly supersedes one awash in sentiment and superstition, you are a White Supremacist.
This is not mere academic sophistry. The revered “anti-racist” Ibram X. Kendi says the world-views of every Race are equally valid, and pathetic “liberals” whose worst nightmare apparently involves being criticized by a member of a racial minority, mindlessly acquiesce. If you insist that 2+2=4, you are a White Supremacist.
It is Oct. 20 and Dinesh D’Souza today offered video evidence of two Churches in Chile being burned to the ground by Leftist radicals. Meanwhile in Venezuela, statues of Jesus Christ and Christopher Columbus were recently toppled by the same element. The war against Western Civilization is world-wide and ironically, ridiculously, those in the West willing to step forth and defend it are invariably denounced as Racists. Are there some on the Right who are so? Of course. But not one of the dozens of “conservative” thinkers I admire has ever uttered a word of approval of those 600 or so true White Supremacists who converged on Charlottesville three years ago. The extent to which the general population does Not support such fanaticism was evident a year later when, in Washington D.C., an event to celebrate the anniversary of the Charlottesville rally was attended by something between 20 and 30 people!
Rational discussion of such issues is virtually impossible today, an era in which the defense of Western values is mindlessly dismissed as racism while supposed Anti-Fascists are allowed to show up at a rally for Free Speech and, in classically Fascist mode, cancel it in the name of Freedom.
It’s hopeless! If Trump wins the upcoming election, there will be Civil War in the States. It is what Antifa and BLM want and the mainstream media will have done nothing but fan the flames of their revolution. That Biden, in an obvious attempt to pander to Black voters, chose the radical Kamala Harris as his running mate, is truly frightening.
