Western governments despise their own citizens
American Thinker ^ | 23 Oct, 2024 | Eric Utter

Posted on 10/23/2024 6:49:36 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Increasingly, Western governments want their subjects citizens to be utterly compliant—and pliant—little state-loving automatons. Or they will threaten to incarcerate you in favor of illegal aliens, who they know are indebted to them…and ergo almost certain to vote for them in the next election.

This is certainly the case in formerly jolly old England. It is what Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are now, as well. And America is racing in the same direction. This will be America, too, after November 5th—or seventh—or ninth—or 20th—or whenever Democrats have conjured up enough votes to steal a second consecutive election from Donald Trump. And, at that moment, it will be game over, evil wins.

Thank God our founders were much less tolerant than we are or the past 248 years would have been much different for everyone on earth. They refused to put up with what they considered an excessive tax on tea, and taxation without representation in general. We are yet putting up with the forced genital mutilation of our children, the denial of objective truths, the attack on Christianity and tradition, the massive influx of illegal aliens who are “granted” more rights than citizens are, and the attempted incarceration and assassinations of our current government’s political enemies. Oh, and we also have taxation without representation, as most citizens are vehemently opposed to the aforementioned agenda and “policies.”

As conservatives, we have no logical alternative but to accept that our own governments detest us. Like many other truths, this is not an easy pill to swallow. But it is the truth, and it is therefore necessary that we do so.

I think the feeling is mutual.

Globalism has triumphed, and with it, all trans-human ideologies. Technocratic elitism has toppled all other 20th century movements, and has emerged as the de-facto way of life in the West.

Annalena 360 said something to the effect that it doesn’t matter what the German voters think, we’re going all-in on Ukraine, even if it means our country going broke.

(I added the last part about ‘going broke’, as it’s implied by the first part and has now been proven to be the case)

“Globalism has triumphed, ... “

It has. My mind is boggled at how easily and completely a populace can be indoctrinated. People are filled with self loathing, and are more than happy to vote against their own interests in the hope that they can gain “virtue”.

Seems unrelated, but this is all the more reason to elect Trump and enlarge the MAGA movement to encompass other nations.

In terms of sheeple-ness, we Americans are in really sad shape compared with what we USED to be. But we are trying.

In the case of other peoples like the Brits, the French, the Germans, the Dutch, the Argentinians, the Italians, the Hungarians, the Poles, they have MAGA tendencies that are strong and encouraging.

The rest of the world's nations, with exceptions I failed to mention, are lost.

The Israelis lead the way in terms of freedom, intelligence, wisdom, Biblical principles, survival of the human race.

Remember: The Globalists are Communists, and they are in cahoots with the Moose Limbs.

Summary: If our MAGA movement does not prevail and nations are preserved and become strong along MAGA principles, then the whole Earth and for all we know Universe becomes Communist.

If we let that happen, only the Apocalypse will save us.

So it's really important to elect Trump and help out other countries that love freedom and nationalism, and hate Communism and Islamism.

Israel is leading the way in this whole struggle: We must strengthen the ties between them and us. Super important.

The "People" and the "Government" are opposite, countervailing forces...so of course they will hate each other when they are relatively equal in power.

In the West, we have representative governments (at least that's how they were designed) giving the people the power over the government. But the Left has divided (by identity groups) and conquered, giving the Government enough power to conduct a revolution.

The Deep State, Globalists, and the Elites (but I repeat myself) have joined forces to overthrow the People. And now we are in the middle of a war for supremacy.

As we all know, this election is a major battle in this war. If we win it, we will be able to push back forcefully. If we lose, we will be diminished to the point that our only hope is asymmetrical, guerilla warfare.

Actually, it hasn't been easy. It has taken the communists in the U.S. almost a century of carefully organized planning and implementation to take control of our universities and then infuse our culture and institutions with their indoctrinated graduates.

What we see today is the result.

Here's an old comment of mine on the subject of communist infiltration and indoctrination:

The infiltration of communist ideologies into U.S. colleges and universities began in the early 20th century, particularly during the 1920s and 1930s. This period saw a rise in interest in Marxist thought among intellectuals and academics, especially during the Great Depression when many people were questioning the viability of capitalism due to economic hardships.

Key Milestones:

1920s - 1930s: The Growth of Marxist Ideas

Marxism gained traction among academics during the 1920s, with some professors embracing socialist and communist ideas as a response to economic inequality and class struggles. Institutions like the University of Wisconsin, Columbia University, and City College of New York (CCNY) became notable centers for leftist thought.

CCNY, in particular, earned a reputation as a "Red College" due to its significant number of students and professors who were active in socialist and communist movements.

1930s: Great Depression and Increased Communist Appeal

The Great Depression deepened interest in alternative economic theories, including communism. Professors who were members or sympathizers of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) began to teach Marxist ideas more openly.

The New School for Social Research in New York City, founded in 1919, also became a haven for leftist intellectuals, many of whom were critical of capitalism and sympathetic to socialist ideas.

1940s: World War II and Academic Tensions

During World War II, the Soviet Union was an ally of the United States, and this temporary alignment allowed some communist ideas to be discussed more openly in academic circles. However, with the onset of the Cold War after 1945, the U.S. government and society became increasingly wary of communist influences, leading to scrutiny of universities.

1950s: McCarthyism and Crackdown on Communist Influence

The 1950s saw a backlash against communism with the rise of McCarthyism, named after Senator Joseph McCarthy. Many professors and students suspected of communist affiliations were investigated, dismissed, or blacklisted. The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) targeted universities like Harvard, Berkeley, and Columbia, aiming to expose and root out communist influences.

While it's difficult to pinpoint a single institution as the first to experience communist infiltration, CCNY stands out for its early and robust engagement with leftist ideologies, making it a focal point of Marxist thought during the early 20th century. Similarly, Columbia University and the New School played significant roles in fostering discussions around socialism and communism among intellectual circles.

The infiltration wasn't always overt and often took the form of faculty and student discussions, clubs, and organizations sympathetic to Marxist theory rather than formal organizational activities of the CPUSA. However, this influence shaped intellectual discourse in ways that continue to be debated in discussions of academic freedom and ideological influence in higher education.

It’s been that way since the 1960s!

Good overview.

I saw a vid awhile back, about the development of 'Critical Theory', (and its theorists) - remember, "intellectual" does not mean intelligent!

Anyway, what stuck in my memory, is how some of them relocated to Southern California - and remained "critical" (of pretty much everything). Despite living in a virtual 'paradise on earth': California in the '40's, 50's, & early 60's - revealing to me how spiritually bankrupt & negative those people (critical theorists/communists) really are.

It is far easier to break down & destroy, than it is to build.
That's what communism does.

Very true.

I recently read a book on the subject of postmodernism (critical theory) and recommend it highly:

Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault by Prof Stephen Hicks.
Postmodernism/critical theory is just about complaining and deconstructing. It has no plans for rebuilding or replacing what it destroys.

Same for communism for the most part. Communism wants to destroy government by the people with government by bureaucratic committee. That's a surefire recipe for failure.

The history of mankind has been the history of the vast majority of people just trying to take care of their families versus a small group of psychopaths who want to rule over everyone and possess all the wealth in the world.

In our nation, the psychopaths have gathered together to run The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.
