One thing that genuinely surprises me, while surveying the ever-metastasizing left-wing zealotry all across the western world, is what you might call daylight totalitarianism. That is, totalitarianism out in the open, totalitarianism in the age of the internet and smartphone video.
The distinctions between political “left” and “right” first emerged in the French Revolution. What did the Left then do in their very first outing? Chaos, bloodbath. And ever since then, whenever the hard left has gained power—in Russia, China, Cambodia, Cuba, et cetera—chaos and bloodbaths have almost invariably followed.
That is who they are, you might say. The modern Left is essentially a sorting mechanism that systematically selects the sociopathic, resentful, vicious, and genocidal.
I thought, however, that even if the left gained power in contemporary America or Europe, there would be no bloodbath. This time would be different.
Specifically, I thought that because of the internet, personal computers and smartphones, and the general high-information enviroment, the hard left just wouldn’t be able to get away with the things they did in the past. Too much daylight.
But look at Charlottesville: they’ve created and forced through a fiction of a well-documented event, and they’re well on their way towards getting their blatant fabrications put in the books as the “reality” of what happened.
They’ve set up their own media as a sort of lie-laundering operation: if their wholesale fabrications go through the New York Times or NBC, they become “truth.”
It really looks like they’re going to go for an all-out genocide, internet and all. Takes a lot of chutzpah to do that. They’re going go right on to the end with their sociopathic, con-man, turn-on-a-dime business of “the white genocide is happening and it’s good. Also, white people, the white genocide isn’t happening.” Only sociopaths can do that, but that’s who they are. It’s gaslighting for the weak-minded, and a flex on the strong-minded who know the truth, but don’t have the financial or media power to do anything about it.
They won’t, as we like to say, stop themselves. Troubling times ahead.
