o bad idea ever dies. That is the mournful lesson we are being taught daily by the partisans of so-called “critical race theory,” the disciples of “equity,” and the shock troops of Antifa and Black Lives Matter. There are some local differences, of course—differences of fashion and vocabulary, mostly—but to a large extent the present radicalisms are a reprise of the radicalisms of the 1960s, which in turn were recapitulations of the radicalisms of the French Revolution filtered through the argot of Marxism.
Perhaps the biggest difference between our situation now, circa 2021, and the long decade of the 1960s is the extent to which, this time around, corporate culture and the entrenched bureaucrats who run the institutions of our federal, state, and local governments are there on the barricades helping to destroy the very civilization whose survival they had been entrusted to preserve.
Back in 1991, in his book The Disuniting of America, the historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. wrote that “A cult of ethnicity has arisen both among non-Anglo whites and among nonwhite minorities to denounce the idea of a melting pot, to challenge the concept of ‘one people,’ and to protect, promote, and perpetuate separate ethnic and racial communities.” That could have been written about Ibram X. Kendi, this season’s favorite race hustler and conspicuous anti-American beneficiary of the American free market.
Kendi is part of a larger movement to institute the poison of racialist ideology into the supporting institutions of the United States—its schools and colleges, the workplace, even in government bureaucracies and the military. But what Schlesinger said about earlier iterations of the demand for “multiculturalism” are true of what Kendi and his acolytes are attempting. “[T]he debate about the curriculum,” Schlesinger pointed out, “is a debate about what it means to be an American.”

They think that if they use different lies that communism will work this time.
That defines the nature of today's problems. Immigrants no longer want to become an American. Instead, they seek to change America into the hellhole the just left. That's why I have virtually no sympathy for any of them. They simply do not appreciate what this country has to offer.
What am I doing? Everything I can, from saying “Merry Christmas” to “how’s your Dad?”. This PC-ness that so many people want need to look elsewhere for it, as I refuse to play this stupid game. Indeed, I also boycott any company that tries to foist this crap on me.
Take a peek at some of JPeterson’s videos on Nazi vs commie oppression. He frequently ponders why there is so little hate-filled stigma associated with the latter. At the same time few will champion any aspects of the German version of socialism — aside a comment about trains running on time. Commie’s had better PR. Their alliance with Hitler in the run up to WW2 had loads of commie folks here in the US singing the praises of Stalin and Hitler. Until Hitler (stupidly) invaded the USSR. The marching orders flipped rapidly and Hitler became the devil. It wasn’t until the “gulag archipelago” came out did the much greater horrors of communism get revealed. Nonetheless, the better PR model for the commies kept it alive until its resurgence in the ‘60’s. Now, it’s like the most horrific chapter in human history never happened. Therefore, it will happen again.
“The evil that men do lives beyond them; the good is oft interred with their bones.”
“They simply do not appreciate what this country has to offer.”
With the overpowering of government policies, rather than public desires, making changes to the system of government not in the best interest of the public, even though they are told it is, along with the repeated misinformation and nothing but direct conflict rather than the association of ideas to improve our status in government it leads the immigrant into the country with false hopes and the acceptance that all they have to work with is not much more than what they left. Tack that on to the “use” of the people. foreign or already here, to keep the power and money within part of the country using lies and unlawful acts taking advantage of those that are under educated, and it makes it easy to take the most powerful, yet youngest of the majors, to be taken off the pedestal and thrown into the dumpser.

I hope that was a true story. Wonder if “they” still have a job at that place?
I don’t know if it is real or not. Kind of an Alinsky RULE #4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
To really confuse them I could claim my pronouns are He/Her/Theirs.
