1. There is 'looking' and there is 'seeing' and often they are not the same thing.
All of us are observing the anarcho-communists in our streets, burning, looting, assaulting. Looking at same, the reaction may be 'tsk, tsk...how terrible.'
But seeing also means understanding what one is observing, and recognizing where it fits into time, and what it presages.
"Whoever fights with monsters should see to it that he does not become a monster in the process. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."
Nietzsche
2. What is taking place is not the sort of short-lived riots we saw in LA, or Chicago, or Detroit. It is the destruction of our heritage, our nation, Western Civilization. It is the end-product of the post-war generation, that told us at Port Huron what they were going to do:
Note the themes of the Port Huron Statement (The unrest of the sixties was born in June of 1962 at the AFT-CIO camp at Port Huron, Michigan.): utopia; remaking human nature; anti-capitalism; dissent as the path to an authentic identity.
See Bork, “Slouching Toward Gomorrah,” ch 5
3. One SDS member gave this prescription, exemplifies the principles of the modern Democrat Party:
“four-square against anti-Communism, eight-square against American-culture, twelve-square against sell-out unions, one hundred and twenty against an interpretation of the Cold War that saw it as a Soviet plot and identified American policy fondly.” Todd Gitlin, “The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage,” p. 109-110
And, of course, “against anti-Communism” means pro-Communism and anti-religion.
4. Andrew McCarthy knows whereof he speaks:
"The Revolution Is Winning
Radicals from the 1960s and 1970s now hold powerful positions in government and academia
This is what the revolution looks like.
Weather Underground terrorists, who made no secret of being anti-AmeriKKKan “small-c” communists, are having more success than they could have dreamed of in the 1960s.
They are dominating the language. You know that whole “white privilege” nostrum that we’re paying universities $60K per year to drum into our children’s brains? It is derived from their lamentation of “white skin privilege.” In their ideology, the revolution to overthrow the capitalist, racist, imperialist system summoned them — lily white radicals — to abandon their privilege and embrace the armed struggle."
5. There is no longer a war.....it's over. It's too late, they own the schools, the media, the judiciary......the St Louis DA confiscated the weapon of law-abiding citizens simply protecting their property, Democrat elected officials encourage the rioters and release any arrested, police doing their duty to protect us are charged, our hope, the Republicans simply look on.
I'm thinking that civilizations may simply have a 'sell-by' date....and we've reached ours.
It was great while it lasted.
6. Here's the thing: the Leftists, the totalitarians are not rational, they will perish with the civilization that they destroy. They don't give it a thought.....they are like the scorpion in the fable:
A scorpion, which cannot swim, asks a frog to carry it across a river on the frog's back. The frog hesitates, afraid of being stung by the scorpion, but the scorpion argues that if it did that, they would both drown. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung the frog despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I couldn't help it. It's in my nature."
We were warned.
We did nothing.
Now we reap the whirlwind.
