When I was a teenager, I was a liberal. I remember when LBJ's Great Society programs were introduced. I believed then that the minorities were finally gonna become
a full partner in our society.
I was wrong. And its one of the reasons why I am no longer a liberal. Social engineering doesn't seem to work, and I am not sure why it doesn't.
But the thing is, that since it doesn't work, we have to stop trying to make it work. You know, the "insanity" thing.
See, the dirty little secret about White people - in America, in Europe, in wherever else they live - is that they are way, way nicer than they probably should be. Modern Whites are literally the only people on the planet who have voluntarily abolished slavery, who have fought wars amongst themselves about the issue, who have willingly tried to extend equal rights and all that other stuff to vastly different alien populations, the blacks and browns of the world. If a minority group of cultural aliens in, say, ancient Akkad or ancient Etruria had created the types of social disorders that blacks have been creating in America and Europe, they would probably have been exterminated or enslaved en masse.
But an increasingly large percentage of the world’s White populations are coming to realise that these experiments have largely failed. The great mistake of the post-war liberal consensus (and remember, “classical liberalism” is still a form of liberalism) was in assuming that granting legal equality would force every other kind of equality to come into being. This is, of course, something that those of us who take a more realistic view on race understood all along would fail. After all, things that are different are not the same and the type of social systems built by one group of people don’t necessarily translate to other groups no matter how badly you might want them to.
This is what has been so hard to accept for the boomercon types who grew up believing all of the Civil Rights Era propaganda. For decades, White Americans were browbeaten into going along with what was obviously wrong, forced to reject the testimony of their eyes in favour of the demands of the increasingly bureaucratised and entrenched DEI establishment. Ignore the crime, ignore the incessant demands, ignore the ingratitude, ignore the constant low-level intensity social disorder - ignore it or you’re racist. Well, as Shiloh Hendrix has shown us, there are a lot of folks who don’t care about the magic words any longer.
