People are not a fungible commodity. They have specific identities that reflect their biology, history & basic inclinations. Also, do not allow a smear of whole communities by hacks who focus on the behavior of the worst elements in those communities.

What is destroying the West today, is the deliberate downplaying of the importance of different biological, historical and personality traits, in an effort to promote the fantasy that humans are interchangeable--a direct attack on the importance of the vast variations in human cultures & values.

Egalitarian humanism is the ultimate denigration of humanity.

“What is destroying the West today, is the deliberate downplaying of the importance of different biological, historical and personality traits, in an effort to promote the fantasy that humans are interchangeable—a direct attack on the importance of the vast variations in human cultures & values”

A point worth repeating.

David French and his pals Kevin Williamson and Bill Kristol and the rest of that National Review crowd are little more than economic determinists, like a right-wing version of Marxists. Probably no surprise since neoconservatism has its roots in a crew of Leon Trotsky supporters.

For this crowd people and their culture and longstanding communities are cogs in the economy and nothing more. It’s a crass and shallow devaluation of American life that serves the interests of global corporations and hasn’t got damned thing to do with America.
