Since the Hamas pogrom of 7 October, there’s been a storm of commentary on how unhinged campus culture in the West has become. Politicians and writers are bewildered that at universities where it’s a ‘microaggression’ to ask someone where they are from, and where you can be subjected to a Salem-like grilling for wearing an offensive Halloween costume, actual genocidal violence doesn’t seem to bother people. The same fresh-faced Maoists who will weep and stomp their feet if you say ‘women don’t have penises’ have collectively shrugged their shoulders over the mass murder of Jewish women and children. Some have even justified it.
(Big fat snip)
We are living through a normalisation of violence. The decimation of the ideals of freedom, especially among millennials and Generation Z, has given rise to a situation where debate is discouraged on account of its hurtfulness, where brute force is wielded against dissenters, and where even genocidal terror can be celebrated if it silences the ‘privileged’. In the absence of freedom of speech, the pre-modern rituals of humiliating and punishing transgressors against orthodoxy have returned with a bloody vengeance. Surely the bleak and tragic month of October 2023 will be a wake-up call for the West.

I didn’t read past microaggression . That is a fayg term.
Wishful thinking.
It is extremely frightening how easily the Left has given in to the Islamic propaganda. They are now marching with Radical Islamic protestors and agreeing with Islamic expansionism/colonialism and agreeing with Islams genocide of the Jews? The Progressive Left are the Nazis of the 21st century
most have now forgotten that the Nazi’s were socialists.
Hurt feelings is a cardinal sin, whereas physical harm, murder, and rape are not so bad. That is, if the skin color of the victim isn’t too dark.
That is the bottom line. The insanity the left is promulgating is a calculated strategy not a hypocrisy. The aim is to create as much chaos as possible in order to break society.
Cloward and Piven.
That this will prove a ‘wake up call’ or however he puts it? That’s what you mean by ‘wishful thinking’?
yes, I’m afraid it won’t too. And who is there to lead the fight against this?
Listening to Jordon Peterson on his research on Nazi’s during WWII he mentions that Germans had a tendency for abnormally high levels of disgust. That was directed to the Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, et.al. Some how some kids today have not learned to control their disgust. I even worry about my own sometimes, because it usually is associated with a false generalization about a people. That of course is alway true with Palestinians. Lol
“It is extremely frightening how easily the Left has given in to the Islamic propaganda. “
I know! And the Islamics would throw them off the roof. TUTTI!
Frightening? Easily? It’s a steadfast trait of the left; might as well be a plank of the Democrat party.
Carter, for instance, ever-eager to weep for “Palestinians” and accuse Israel: https://repository.law.miami.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1049&context=umiclr
No need to even start about Obama, from he himself to the various “Arab spring” efforts that replaced moderates with fanatics.
And, since you mention Nazis, they made use of the Muhammedans — and they of him, just as they’re doing with Brandon and Barry and did of Jimmy.
These college students haven’t faced a single day of inconvenience, protected by armed campus security, and live a life of luxury that 99.99999% of humanity has never enjoyed. They need the Mike Tyson, “punch in the mouth” to knock some reality in to them. One day without cell phone or internet service and there lives would be chaos.
Good article. It explains some things I’ve been wondering about.
Thanks.
It’s quite amazing what pushovers our latte’ drinkers and soyboys in colleges have been for the cultural Maoists. They’re going to get a lot of people killed if we don’t clean out our colleges.
<< It is extremely frightening how easily the Left has given in to the Islamic propaganda. >>
They’re natural bedfellows, sharing fundamental hatreds in common — of Christians, Jews / Israel, America and our founding fathers and principles, Western civilization in general, capitalism, individual freedoms, etc.
The jihadists, of course, view Western Marxists as the extremely useful idiots they are.
It is a tough time now. Dementia Joe is asleep and the MIC is running it.
Obama has his charge I am sure.
Wrinkles in a New World Order is on the people that just want a normal life.
The USA fought many wars to keep them sovereign. The start of the UN ruined that.
Here we are.
I believe mother Theresa correctly called it.
“ “If a mother can kill her own child - what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me - there is nothing between.”
― Mother Teresa
Just now noticing the ‘normalization of savagery’? I seem to recall the 2016 election campaign, where it was open season on Trump supporters...especially on college campuses.
The leftist press supports this because that’s what they want to do here in the US.
Hamas is the “oppressed” and therefore need to rise up and kill their “oppressors” like in every other leftist revolution.
Have no illusions. The armed populace is the only thing pausing them.
