It appears they're now equating "Western Civilization" with majority white European people/countries so all Western Democracies are now racist, ie, the enemy of humanity/human rights? What are they going to do, burn ALL the history, art, science, philosophy, etc, books ever written by western men? Burn ancient Greece, Rome, Europe, and the Americas, etc? Where does the hateful leftist tyranny stop?

It is as long as whites will not stand up for themselves. They use race as a battering-ram and will push us off a cliff with it unless we say no more.

If whites don’t get up off their knees Western Civilization will be destroyed.

Eradication of Christianity is the core motivation of the left.

These people are nuts, without self-awareness or appreciation for history. They cried when the Taliban destroyed the Buddhist statues of Bamiyan in Afghanistan, and cheer when we tear down statues in the US. Personally, not a big fan of the ‘confederacy’, but whitewashing history is always a mistake. Much better to turn these monuments into opportunities to teach where you can see a statue and download any number of podcasts to your phone and learn about it from a variety of perspectives.

Did our predecessors do everything right? No of course not. But neither do we. And we have the benefit of hindsight. If we don’t accept that our predecessors made mistakes, and erase them from history, then the lessons are lost to the future. But at the same time, it’s folly to ignore the incredible human achievements, sacrifice, progress that Western Civilization has fostered. People want to crow about carbon, but seriously consider where we would be without it? We’d be dying at age 40, we’d have poor sanitation, few medical advancements, difficulty traveling, slow growth economies, poor communications. I for one do not wish to live in 1819 or even 1919. I like 2019. We should celebrate and honor our achievement.. and this has nothing to do with race or sex etc. Knowledge is available to all and meaningful human progress can come from anyone.

In fact I think it was Christopher Hitchens who noted that if you look around the world, the countries that do the best are those that have free and liberated women - while the worst countries have oppressive policies towards woman, and others. Freedom is our great advantage. It’s a shame that today’s left not only can’t recognize this but want to roll it back.

Exactly - I tweeted to Romney and McCarthy that it’s sad when supposed Republicans go all Fahrenheit 451 on us and agree with an Ocasio lunatic that it’s OK to demonize our language and history.

The left hates Western Civilization because it includes Christian elements, and because the constitutions of the countries guarantee freedom, although that freedom is increasingly restricted by those same governments as they move leftward.

In the 60’s students chanted “hi ho, western civ’s got to go”

It doesn’t, but at some point it begins to eat itself.

The deconstruction - then destruction - of Western Civilization and Biblical Christianity, the twin pillars of personal liberty, has been the goal of the fellow travelers at least since The Frankfurt School of Adorno, Marcuse, et al.

The current attacks are the harvest of their long sowing in their Long March Through the Institutions - including so-called Christian seminaries. The Neocon pseudo-Republicans have long been complicit in this.

Yes, they are in the process of that already.
