The notion that we are a land divided isn’t something surprising to most of our readers. They see it and accept that it is a deliberate act by the political establishment, with the understanding that they (the uniparty) are dividing us to cement their ongoing rise to power.
But most Americans, and I’d add most non-Americans, given there are tens of millions of those loitering about unaccounted for, don’t have a clue about any of that. They get up, pay more for coffee, shake their head as they fill their tank with gas, and otherwise try to keep their head down. After all, look what happened to those parents at the school board meeting and so on. No, we don’t think you should be talking to children about sex in grade school, but we still have to live here.
The Dem-led uniparty knows which is why examples are made. So the rest of the prairie dogs stay in their holes. Rising costs and crime keep them seeking cover while rising taxes and prices rob their lifestyles from under them. And now you can’t go on vacation because when you get back, your home may have been absconded by foreigners.
These are the days in which we live, and even the duck and cover crowd is being divided into factions who, when they dare to suggest something outside the approved uniparty narrative, are labeled as extreme.
Konstantin Kisin, in a piece about “political extremism,” observes how the political left has corrupted Western culture.
It is not considered extreme to throw open the borders resulting in more people coming to Britain in 11 years of the Blair Government than came into Britain between the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and 1950.
It is not considered extreme to double Sweden’s foreign born population since the turn of the century. It is not considered extreme that this has resulted in Sweden having the highest rate of gang killings in Europe. It is not considered extreme that the governor of the Bank of Sweden was forced to acknowledge in an interview with the Financial Times that the growing crime problem is so serious, it risks damaging the country’s long-term economic growth.
It is not considered extreme that the United States has had over 8 million illegal immigrant “encounters” under the Biden Administration, with over 1.7 million known gotaways (illegal immigrants who evaded border patrols) currently residing in the United States without proper documentation or being vetted by immigration.
It is not considered extreme to introduce overtly sexual content into schools up and down the United States.
It is not considered extreme to promote the idea that children are capable of consenting to life-changing surgeries and hormonal interference in their bodies to treat mental disorders.
It is not considered extreme to replace pedestrian crossing lights in central London with LGBTQ+ signals.
It is not considered extreme to teach several generations of children to hate their country.
It is not considered extreme to prosecute and imprison people for making offensive jokes in private WhatsApp messages.
It is not considered extreme to put male rapists in female prisons.
It is not considered extreme to pass speech-restrictive legislation that could result in the police arresting comedians for jokes.
What is considered extreme is pointing out that there is a problem with any of this. As my readers know, objecting publicly to any of this will immediately earn you the dismissive label of “culture warrior.” Because destroying your country’s history and culture is not considered extreme, but defending it is.
You can probably manage a few more examples on your own, but I think this gets the point across and then some.
Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt reminded us in a soon-to-be-released TRIGGERnometry interview that human societies have historically been united by three things: common blood, common gods and common enemies.
Mass immigration and the endless celebration of what we euphemistically call “diversity” is increasingly eroding two of these. We do not have common blood in the way that our societies used to within living memory. As for common gods, our own growing atheism might have been sustainable had we not been busily importing people who have a very strong sense of faith in gods that are quite different from ours. Absent common blood and gods, we increasingly look for enemies within rather than uniting around the challenges we face from outside.
If by outside you mean outside our communities but inside or governments. So-called leaders are wholly responsible for the planned chaos. In the case of the US, they chose to ignore the law (borders, crime) to destabilize society. A practice I have long insisted has a deliberate purpose. To force the middle class to demand order, to which the Federal government will respond by nationalizing as much of the law enforcement apparatus as it can, followed by systemic auditing and cleansing of anyone in authority who doesn’t toe their line.
They did it in unions, Schools, Churches, universities, and lately, every branch of the armed services. They are doing it to the National Guard in states where they control it and would gladly use the same tactics on county and local law enforcement (Obama started working on this plan during his two terms).
If they succeed, no one will be permitted to dance to any tune but their own, and if that happens, the march to Marxism will be difficult to halt. Two-tiered justice from sea to rising sea and no one to stop armed federal agents because they will all be armed federal agents. You can’t have a proper despotism without it. So, they divide us from within and without, and being human, we find ourselves playing along. Overwhelmed by a deliberate lawlessness whose intention is to make it impossible for us to have anything in common but our disdain for each other.
I am not, by nature, a doom blogger, so I’d like to say we are about to turn a corner, but ‘They’ will do anything to prevent that, especially if it might ignite an actual insurrection. Nothing would please them more than civil war – it would give them the excuse they need. The problem there, however, is that we’re very close to the point where some meaningful number of divided Americans see it as the only way to restore the Republic, and I don’t have nearly enough range time in for that.
And November is Coming.
