The current narrative in the press, and in the blogs, is relating to racism. A term that bores me: I deem it meaningless.
Meaningless: the very vagueness leads to a sense that there can be a moral panic. Which is what we have in the USA: what we are having reported to us. In the terms of the four seasons and turnings, it is fairly clear that a turning is occurring, but in what direction?
The elite have an agenda. It is to accuse the narod, the masses, of racism, and demand a cultural revolution. I know too many student polticians: I trust them about as much any other member of the political class, which is not at all.
The Black Ivy Coalition, a collegiate advocacy group fighting for racial equality comprised of two representatives from each Ivy League institution, posted a statement on Facebook to express their support for University of Missouri’s student protesters and called for a blackout asking supporters to wear all black Thursday. Reine Ibala, a senior at Yale University and a founder of the coalition, said students at nearly 80 schools have shared their statement of support and participated in the campaign online.
The shared message, according to Ibala, reads as such:
“To the students of color at Mizzou, we stand with you in solidarity. To those who would threaten their sense of safety, we are watching. #ConcernedStudent1950 #InSoliarityWithMizzou.”
But this is backfiring elsewhere. The elite are not the only ones with twitter accounts. Milo on the situation at Missouri, where an alleged swasitka made with feces has led to the current moral panic.
Fortunately, a few brave souls in libertarian journalism and from comedy are striking back, with occasionally devastating effect. The entire new season of South Park has been dedicated to lampooning social justice warriors and their bullying tactics.
It’s now open season on social justice warriors and political correctness, both of which the entertainment industry and most serious journalists now recognise as a threat to creative freedom and freedom of expression. Public opinion is shifting, too: I’ve been reporting on social justice warriors in some way or another for most of my career, and it’s only the last few months I’ve noticed real hostility toward hand-wringers.
That hostility is now coming from the left, too, with left-wingers who don’t sign up to the progressive consensus, openly mocking trigger warnings and safe spaces, aghast at their own side for the inane drivel now published daily on sites like Vox, Buzzfeed, Mic, Vice and Gawker.
But what’s so brilliant about the social justice tendency is that it refuses to acknowledge when it has been beaten in the court of public opinion. SJWs aren’t just doubling down, they’re going full retard, installing codes of conduct that read like something from the Twilight Zone. Just this week, Vox instructed its staff not to “mansplain” to one another.
This is all good news, because it makes them easier to beat. The bitter white middle-class bloggers who fuel so much misery and division in American society are lurching ever further away from the public and even their own readers by ignoring facts and indulging in hurtful, speculative narrative based on discredited and preposterous far-left ideology.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the poop swastika comes to be seen as emblematic of the media’s abandonment of duty and capitulation to ideological lunacy. It would certainly be a fitting tribute to the most shitty, fascistic, delusional media tendency in living memory.
It would be far better to campaign against oppression, slavery, institutional child rape, the desecration of places of worship and the destruction of ancient communities. But the Arab Christians are not a protected class, and the real evil that is there is of no account because a favoured group (the Islamics) do it. Our official moral panics are, instead, about trivia.
I do not think the elite can continue with this. Things are getting too serious: in Europe, if not Africa and the Middle East. The narod are restless, and in this case they will not be guided by the students who are repeating what the elite tell them. For the masses now understand how Alinsky tactics work, and can use them.
Europe is often cited by the progressives as an example to the peasantry of the Anglosphere as how things should be, or will be. And Europe is having one of their intergenerational revolts: but not towards the left, and not towards the transnational, or the transreligious.
God, honor, homeland. There are worse causes. And kudos to whoever came up with the “EU macht frei” meme. If the anti-EU campaigners in the UK have any sense whatsoever, we’ll be seeing that phrase a lot in the coming year. And for all the Americans who keep saying that Europe is dead, well, I see a lot of pictures of hundreds of thousands of European nationalists marching and taking action.
If this turning, the fourth turning, is towards nationalism there will be blood on the streets, but hope in the home, and glory in the church. If we continue down the current path there is defeat on the streets, defeat in the home, and defeat in the church. We will become dhimmi or slaves: if lucky we will be dead. And it is not my generation that will chose, but those younger than me.
Enoch Powell warned us.
By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, men of the West!
Reality seems to be intruding, rather rapidly, upon parts of the world that foolishness has a cost. And that cost is in blood. And it’s only going to get worse from here.

This is so interesting… I agree that mostly the term racism is usually just a political smoke screen. My parents actually were racist against Arabs though… And it’s something I’ve had to work to overcome.
Interestingly, I’ve made friends with a sweet family from Iran… They are Arabs Christians, and it’s been a journey getting to know them.
