There is no denying that day-by-day, inch-by inch we are becoming Europe. Recent events in Charlottesville support this and we would do well to pay attention to the ramifications for the future of our way of life.
The lesson in Charlottesville is that the two sides are ideologically indistinguishable in their method of operation. Each is convinced of the righteousness of its cause and each will settle for nothing less than to stamp out the other side. Each carries its own flag proudly displaying its own brand of political correctness.
Political correctness is not new only its current name is recent. Political correctness was trademarked successfully with the epic film Birth of a Nation early in the last century with heroic vigilante figures donning sheets and riding horse-back ostensibly to defend the honor of its origins against interlopers. It was not a proud time for our people but it was nonetheless political correctness-We are good, you are bad-We are right, you are wrong.
Today political correctness has a new face but it’s no less dangerous and no less wrongheaded. It drives mobs into communities to blot out their cultural identity and local color if they don’t “play ball” with the narrative of contemporary political self-righteousness. So the hordes start toppling historic statues like invaders with ropes pulling down the likeness of Saddam Hussein.
Most people do not know that black slavery was not started by southern white Americans. It was initiated by black African tribal chiefs who were getting fabulously wealthy by netting their brethren and selling them to slave traders. But no one seems to be letting facts get in the way-We are good, you are bad-We are right, you are wrong.
Political correctness is a difficult animal to kill because its shape is circular. You can’t tell the front from the back or the head from the tail. When crusaders march into southern communities as counter-protesters they are essentially exercising a kind of ethnic cleansing because the vast majority of the community has no dog in the fight of white nationalism. The crusaders are really there to round up the locals and intimidate them to get in line.
How much like Europe are we willing to become?
