How The 1960s Riots Foreshadow Today’s Communist Weaponization Of Black Pain

Leaving the White House grounds recently, I knew I would encounter protestors. You could hear them throughout the evening, trying to disrupt.

Most of the protestors were to the east and north of the White House, so staff directed us to exit out the west gate. A security guard offered to accompany me and my husband south to Constitution Avenue to meet our Uber driver, and we went safely home.

We heard numerous stories the next morning of guests who had been threatened and endangered. One friend with whom we had walked out of that west gate actually decked a foul-mouthed biker. The biker had veered too close to our friend’s wife while shouting threats and obscenities, and the husband then acted as a man might reasonably be expected to — he punched the guy.

Black pain? Most of the Communist rioters I see out there are spoiled white kiddies from the suburbs.

Its not black pain? its extreme political entitlement, given by the Left for their destructive use of black people.

Yep, the cops have been castrated. So not only when seconds counts the cops are 15 minutes away, when they finally show up they just stand and watch.

It’s times like these when militias and vigilantes become the fall back position.

Great article.

Exposes how the radical leftists are using black people as pawns, while directly hurting them more than anyone else.

The Weather Underground was a recognized subversive organization, with Soviet trained community organizers and funding, well organized and dangerous. They dynamited government building and killed police officers, orchestrated riots, etc. They openly pursued the violent overthrow of the government. Ditto the SDS. The FBI successfully infiltrated the organization and caused their downfall over a period of time.

The principal differences between the riots of the 1960s and 70s and those in our day are that the police are standing down in the blue cities and states and the cultural subversion and moral rot have gone far deeper. Additionally, instead of funding coming from foundations set up by the Robber Barons and taken over by their liberal descendants or from the KGB, the funds now come from the tech giants and Soros and China.

Along these lines, a fascinating number of dot connecting is available in the last chapters of David Horowitz’s book, RADICALS, which (the audible version), is available free to subscribers of audible.

Good article, but it still misses the real essence of the problem.

When we talk about Marx, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Hayden what was the ultimate motivational force behind their actions.

I think Tocqueville hit the nail on the head with this quote...

“There is a passion for equality that spurs all men to wish to be strong and esteemed. This passion tends to elevate the lesser to the rank of the greater. But one also finds in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to want to bring the strong down to their level, and which reduces men to preferring equality in servitude to inequality in freedom.”

What all these people and their ilk have in common is this “depraved taste for equality”. They simply cannot abide the reality that some people do better than others, are prettier than others, are smarter than others.

It insults their sense of justice to the bones, which comes down to equality, Justice for these people is not one where the rewards are commensurate with your efforts or talents, but with everyone having the same thing - equality of results.

For them, the fact that people are different is just proof that God screwed up things royally by making some people smarter than other, or prettier than others and they are intent to fixing the mess that God made by finally making everybody equal, by whatever means necessary.

These people, these bleeding heart, envious elites, are the scourge of the human race and the source of incredible suffering. Societies have to find a way to identify them early and rid themselves of them.

jmo, she got a good shot with the last couple of paragraphs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Truly Help Black People, Reject BLM

Why is this all of this so vitally important? Because right now, many well-intentioned Americans believe they are helping black people by putting Black Lives Matter signs in their front yards. A number of corporations believe they are helping stamp out racism by donating millions of dollars to Black Lives Matter. Middle schools and high schools across the country are using a curriculum developed by Black Lives Matter to teach children that America is riddled with systemic racism.

But in fact, Black Lives Matter is not about helping black people. It is about using black people to achieve the co-founders’ revolutionary, ideological aims.

BLM wants to overthrow the American system of deliberative democracy and ordered liberty and replace it with their Marxist hell. The sooner Americans wake up to that reality, the less black people will suffer as a result of their current exploitation by the radical left.”

Keep them on the Democrat created plantations using modernized versions of the slave tactics from pre Civil War 1. Uneducated, no family structure, depend on their masters for everything, food clothing shelter medical care. Nothing different now.

I would posit that the primary root of the problem is their inflated sense of self. They think that they are intellectually and morally superior to the rest of society. So they think that they should rule over us lesser plebes and everyone else. Their desire for equality is definitely a factor, but their utopian vision of what they think they can produce is more a reflection of their narcissistic belief in their own infallibility. Past Leftist leaders, like Tom Hayden, Bill Ayers and Barack Obama, are the personification of arrogant ignorance and the sin of pride.

And the rioting, which is a result of constant community agitation, is straight out of the Saul Alinsky book, Rules for Radicals. It is one of the Left's tactics for grabbing power.

“I would posit that the primary root of the problem is their inflated sense of self. They think that they are intellectually and morally superior to the rest of society.”

They get their power not from their inflated sense of self, (though I don’t deny that they do have that) but from their ability (talent?) to capture the moral high ground in the eyes of the masses (ie, the useful idiots). After all who isn’t for equality, for helping the poor, the sick, saving the planet, social justice...?

In other words, they’re able to get the emotionally driven, non-thinking, mush-headed sheeple to support their ideas and they then become the grassroot support and their source of power. Plus they’ve been incredibly successful in Gransci’s “long walk through the institutions”. They’ve managed to take control of just about every existing institutions, from schools, media, entertainment, the agencies, churches, corporations, sports, the military... enabling them to bamboozle even more people.

Is there anything left that our side controls? We’re barely hanging by a thread. We keep hanging our hopes on elections, but they’re about to take that over as well with their push forvmail in voting.
