Hostages of the Cult

Everything is getting real stupid real fast.

I could leave it at that and go ice-fishing for the rest of the day. But I suppose I ought to flesh it out a bit. From a contributor to The New York Times and Esquire, Damon Young:

Whiteness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people—white people and people who are not white, my mom included. There will be people who die, in 2050, because of white supremacy-induced decisions from 1850.

Mr Young's "not white" mom died a year after being diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer, just like Rush did. Yet Rush's whiteness somehow did for her.

I suppose it's possible Damon Young actually believes this stuff. Someone has to. And certainly Esquire and The New York Times were once sufficiently influential that positions taken by their writers were assumed to have some credibility. I'm not sure that's the case these days. Still, if persons of prominence in the public discourse are insisting that whiteness melts ice caps and nobody laughs at them, it might be prudent to fall into line. So, all over society, apparently sane "experts" are pretending to believe the same twaddle - and acting on their pretended beliefs. Here, for example, is a man called Richard Deverell in conversation with The Guardian:

Describing it as a "fork in the road moment", Deverell said the outpouring of grief around the world after the killing of George Floyd brought into focus deep-rooted and longstanding injustices faced by black people.

Maybe Damen Young should spend time in Mugabe’s country.

Hey. It's just the wind. It's not a lie, if you believe it (I'm referring to CNN / MSNBC viewers).

Why isn’t Marxism denounced as the spawn of White Thought and Privilege?

Damon Young is partly right. If people like Young keep this racism crap up they are going to have their lives significantly shortened by white people wanting to live their lives in freedom and liberty.

Yes, Mark, they DO believe this crazy stuff. They believe there were concentration camps during the Trump years and they actually believe that Trump is as bad as Hitler.

And why not? The media has told them this over and over and over.

That they really do believe it is the scary part.

Yes. Marxism was created by white people - Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Trocky. It was during the time when slavery was ending.
I think they intention was to find another way to enslave people of color and continue white supremacy.

This is the emotional foundation for denying whites healthcare in the name of the public good.

So, it’s then fair to demand recognition that Marxism is, in fact, Structural Racism.

And of course the media whores spun it.

If anyone still doesn’t know that they are professional liars, well, then there’s no help for them.

This is the President of the United States of America. It’s unbelievable.

I never thought brainwashing of the masses could possibly work. Boy, was I ever incorrect on that one. Hitler, IMHO, had demonic power. That's why I attributed there. These days, a lot of stuff seems to come out of '1984' in a few ways.

IF that had been President Trump, there would have been “medical experts” on CNN/ABC/CBS/MSNBC 24/7 ever since it happened.

But with Cho Bai Din, it’s “the wind” and nothing more.

Choco rations going up 25 grams next week.

Double-plus good, eh?

I’d say get ready for Kamala and ????? (unknown).

I expect Joe will have to retire.

So if all white people are eradicated, does that mean everyone else can live forever and never even get sick?

You could always ask South Africa how getting rid of white people worked out for them.

Damon Young has destroyed his mind with hatred and ignorance cultivated to perpetuate that hate. Nothing will help him, and I have more important things to worry about than the ravings of an idiot like that.

But if this portends our future, as I think it may, there will be little hope of returning to a civil society in this country. If the Damons are just the lunatic fringe, they will do plenty of damage to themselves and everyone before this is over. When? God only knows.

Actually several of the early communist despots were Jewish. Although he hated Jews, Marx himself was of Jewish ancestry. This is not to disparage Jewish people, but there is a very strong impulse toward statism among them. Why this is, I can’t fathom.

Progressive woke libs today are the progeny of the robber barons and carpet baggers of 125 years ago. These wokesters are slavers intent on destroying civil society.

Antifa and Black Lives Matter are the corrupt bastards of the Brown Shirts and Bolsheviks who brought Germany and Russia respectively to utter disaster. They seek the same demonic end to the greatest society in the history of the world.

Corrupt elitists have adopted these movements just as Hitler and Stalin coopted the forces of destruction and chaos that allowed them to come to power. In both cases the members of these cults were killed once the Tyrants came to power.

It required a World War to end Hitler’s fascism. It took a great American president to destroy Stalin’s spawn. We now face the identical evil in our own nation. What will be required to destroy this tyranny?

Various kings and such were the only protection that Jewish communities had against the inflamed passions of Muslim and Christian mobs, so the strategy became supporting whoever promised law and order, for better or worse.
