A commentary on last night's viral Twitter attack on me. Goodbye to the Left, goodbye (Rectenwald)
Twitter ^ | 2-22-17 | Michael Rectenwald

I'll paste the image of his Tweet below but the punchline is:

"The Left has utterly and completely lost its way and I no longer want anything to do with it".

This is the NYU professor of "liberal studies" who outed himself as the “Deplorable NYU Prof,” an undercover Twitter profile he used to argue against college trends like “safe spaces” and “trigger warnings.” Pretty brave guy, and while he figured his career was over, to most everyone's surprise, NYU promoted him to full professor even after he disclosed his identify. Apparently some semblance of academic freedom still lives at NYU.

This proves what many of us have thought and said for a long time: at it’s worst, the Right is nowhere near as nasty and viscious as the Left on an average day.

Someone took the “red pill” and another brick has fallen from the leftist PC edifice.

An an attempt to de-legitimize POTUS DJT, the left has only succeeded in de-legitimzing themselves.

Being on the receiving end of the Left’s craziness apparently is different than being the one dishing it out.

The current pathetic culture is the result of two generations of brainwashing by and through our educational system, mass media, news media, unfettered immigration, and crony politicians.

I don’t have a solution beyond Article V and a massive overhaul of our public education system.

This is why I have not been in favor of responding in kind to their protests, riots, and violence. The left is showing people who they are, and this country has a very large population of independents which is viewing all this with disgust. By 2018 voters will view the left as completely incapable of leading anything.

The left in the US as it exists now is fundamentally illiberal. If you challenge the orthodoxy, they will hammer you into compliance.

They have the same mindset as the mobs that ran France during the Reign of Terror. Fortunately, they do not have the power to order executions, if they did, modern college campuses would run red with blood.

The fact that he had even felt the very need to create an alternate identity due to the fear of backlash/retaliation just to exorcise the freedom of speech says it all....

A decent map of the game board is necessary in order to exercise the responsibilities of citizenship. The “Left” has evolved along two main channels in their march to destroy Western civilization and its reliance on scientific method, rational observation and technological progress.

1- Gramscian Marxism (Google Antonio Gramsci), a spinoff of the Frankfort School of psychoanalysis. Gramsci developed a playbook to overcome the inability of Marxist revolution to gain any solid ground in the 20th century. He felt that this failure was due to Marxism’s inability to survive against a cultural background of capitalist surplus production and wealth creation. His method was to mount an attack on culture which led to leftist takeovers of media and academia.

2- New Age “Eastern wisdom” pagan spiritualism. This is the final phase of European Romanticism which began as an Enlightenment period reaction against the Vatican and an invitation to all manner of occultism and spiritual experimentation. This initiative has resulted in modern environmentalism, vegetarianism, New Age hoax irrationalities from reflexology to aroma therapy to Psychic Friends hotlines and pathological levels of empathy resulting in leftist victim identification.

The old maps of Right/Left are obsolete. There is the fascist oligarch ruling class Right which have historically housed and controlled the flakey New Age irrationalisms, and the patriot populist Right which have been clueless against the Gramscian cultural imperatives. There is a conservative Left which is pro science, pro working class and supporters of Trump, such as (gasp) Lyndon LaRouche and various conspiracy groupings of the Alex Jones persuasion. There is the CPUSA hard left and the Black Bloc hard anarchist left which are indistinguishable at the present time, but which have structural differences. Most of the global old guard revolutionary left have degenerated into drug running.

The old knee jerk right wing support for Wall St. financier monopolists is now seen to be in error with the schism of the Never Trumpers. Wall St. MONOPOLISM is the enemy. Monopolism is NOT capitalism, it is fascism. The John Birch Society and its present evolution into the Tea Party, has been the only conservative faction to understand the true nature of Globalist MONOPOLISM as an expression of Nazi geopolitics and aristocratic plutocracy. There is a difference between the creation of actual wealth and the worship of paper money.
