Thanks for the background.

One often wonders about the source of the various “schools” of thoughts, stuff like PC, multiculturalism, diversity, deconstructionism, etc. Who starts them, how they take root, who drives them and institutionalizes them, even against large public opposition? It would make a great research project and book.

Take multiculturalism - makes absolutely no sense, is logically inconsistent, intellectually bankrupt, people know it in their guts that is wrong, yet it has invaded every nook and crannie of our society like a silent San Francisco fog rolling in... and is killing us.

Over time, I've learned to take a look at the pedigree of the ideas that seem to motivate our keepers of culture and philosophy. In other words, why do these people think the way they do? How can they play a part in, and be a party to, the worst atrocities that this world has ever known?

It requires a compete abrogation of conscience and a total rejection of the notion of a higher authority to which even the king must bow. It is necessary to view people as things, as mere cattle.

And this is the natural outcome of the rise of the Will to Power that Nietszche foretold in the last days of he 19th century. Nietzsche believed that in the absense of any sort of moral authority, the Will to Power would produce a new kind of messiah, uninhibited by religious sanctions, without moral restraint of any kind, and with an unappeasable appetite for controlling mankind.

And here we are today... Nietszche - and Orwell - were right.
