Politically Correct?
The first time I ever heard about PC was when the book Politically Correct Fairy Tales came out. We passed it around at the holidays and it was funny. After that, things got weird.
It started with my mother telling me, “You can’t say that, it’s not PC.” There was no specific thing wrong with what I said and my reaction was essentially, yes I can and yes I will. This went on for a few years. People telling me I can’t say things because they’re ‘not PC’. Here’s the thing, it was consistently conservatives saying this to me. Liberals weren’t policing my speech, conservatives were. And no one seemed to really know where this PC stuff came from.
I never heard it directly connected to ‘cultural marxism’ until very recently. This cultural marxism is a well developed theory, like evolution, but it is not hard fact. It is being treated as such, and with a potentially dangerous fervor.
It’s said to have started with the Frankfurt School. Here’s some stuff from the Schiller Institute:
“The cultural shift away from the Renaissance ideas that built the modern world, was due to a kind of freemasonry of ugliness. In the beginning, it was a formal political conspiracy to popularize theories that were specifically designed to weaken the soul of Judeo-Christian civilization in such a way as to make people believe that creativity was not possible, that adherence to universal truth was evidence of authoritarianism, and that reason itself was suspect. This conspiracy was decisive in planning and developing, as means of social manipulation, the vast new sister industries of radio, television, film, recorded music, advertising, and public opinion polling.”
“Our universities, the cradle of our technological and intellectual future, have become overwhelmed by Comintern-style New Age “Political Correctness.””
“And, a new Dark Age is exactly what we are in. In such situations, the record of history is unequivocal: either we create a Renaissance—a rebirth of the fundamental principles upon which civilization originated—or, our civilization dies.”
“The single, most important organizational component of this conspiracy was a Communist think tank called the Institute for Social Research (I.S.R.), but popularly known as the Frankfurt School.”
"The Frankfurt School devised the "authoritarian personality" profile as a weapon to be used against its political enemies. The fraud rests on the assumption that a person's actions are not important; rather, the issue is the psychological attitude of the actor..."
(Hmmm…wasn't I being offered psychological profiles of liberals? Why yes, I was.)
"In 1970, forty years after he first proclaimed the importance of Bachofen's theory, the Frankfurt School's Erich Fromm surveyed how far things had developed. He listed seven "social-psychological changes" which indicated the advance of matriarchism over patriarchism:
One from the list: "The vision of the consumer paradise.... In this vision, technique assumes the characteristics of the Great Mother, a technical instead of a natural one, who nurses her children and pacifies them with a never-ceasing lullaby (in the form of radio and television)."
(Looks like they made good use of the capitalist system to institute their communist plans…)
There is a fellow named Lind...
"In Lind’s vision, Fourth Generation Warfare is a way for non-state actors, such as terrorist groups or insurgencies, to engage and even eventually defeat state powers.
4GW is form of asymmetric conflict that blurs civilian/combatant distinctions and uses a wide range of methods, from violence to PR and propaganda. The key aim, above all, is to contest the moral legitimacy of the state, so as to win loyalty of a target population.
Thus, one classic 4GW tactic is to try to goad the enemy state power into doing something stupid.
Al-Qeada’s September 11, 2001 attacks led to the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, the longest war in America’s history, and the disastrous invasion and occupation of Iraq, which has in turn led to the rise of ISIS and the destabilization of neighboring Syria."
"On page 39 following a several page explanation, in detail, of the “cultural Marxism” conspiracy theory, The Next Conservatism refers readers to the URL of a free book on the website of the Free Congress Foundation, “Political Correctness: A Short History of an Ideology” – the very 2004 book plagiarized in Anders Behring Breivik’s political manifesto.
Following Anders Behring Breivik’s 2011 terrorist attack, that 2004 Free Congress Foundation book disappeared from the Free Congress Foundation’s website."
Lind and his work have been quite influential. For example, he inspired Norwegian Anders Breivik whose manifesto was a direct derivation:
"From pages 11 to 37, Breivik’s manifesto reproduces the core of the Free Congress Foundation book (pages 4-51) edited by William S. Lind – whose introductory chapter by Lind, “What is Political Correctness”, Breivik lifted almost unchanged."
Here's the final solution:
“The way out is to create a Renaissance. If that sounds grandiose, it is nonetheless what is needed. A renaissance means, to start again; to discard the evil, and inhuman, and just plain stupid, and to go back, hundreds or thousands of years, to the ideas which allow humanity to grow in freedom and goodness. Once we have identified those core beliefs, we can start to rebuild civilization."
(Going back hundreds of years will put me right back into being property. No thank you, sir.)
"The principles through which Western Judeo-Christian civilization was built, are now no longer dominant in our society; they exist only as a kind of underground resistance movement. If that resistance is ultimately submerged, then the civilization will not survive."
These are some of the most dangerous words. The underground heroes are the only ones who can save the country. The only true patriots. The rest of us should just be eliminated.
And that turns out to be just the plot in Lind's book, Victoria: A Novel of Fourth Generation Warfare. Here's some of the plot. It just might sound familiar...
"...details how, starting in 2016, former U.S. military members help launch a long-term insurgency in which predominantly white, Christian militia insurgents eventually topple the U.S. federal government and establish in its place smaller, ethnically segregated nation-states.
Lind’s militia insurgents carry out mass ethnic cleansing. Puerto Ricans are forced onto boats and shipped back to Puerto Rico. The insurgents force African-American families with children out of cities into forced sharecropping on white farmlands in the country. On page 464, one of Lind’s heroes describes,
“sources of disorder were given the option to repent or die. The biggest source of disorder had been the blacks...”
In order to quell a black nationalist uprising in Atlanta, Lind’s heroes vaporize the center of the city with a tactical nuclear weapon. A lone wolf pilot finishes off the remnants of federal leadership with a kamikaze suicide plan attack.
“Cultural Marxist” university professors at the center of the communist plot to promote American cultural degeneracy are lured to an event at Dartmouth and stabbed to death with Roman short swords while monks chant the Dies Irae during the massacre.
Towards the close of the novel, Lind’s protagonists launch a second crusade against the Islamic nations of the Earth."
(Remember when Bush was saying we were on a crusade? I do.)
Here’s a snippet from an online diary from this week (before the election),
“The discussion started out simply enough: He assumed that I, as a veteran, would vote for Donald Trump. That was the last somewhat sane thing he said. Before I could escape, he unleashed a frightening statement (paraphrased here, but this is the general gist of the conversation):‘Hillary Clinton is not winning, the polls are lies, and we as Americans have the right to form a well-organized militia and forcefully remove the government as it is stated in the Bill of Rights. You remember that if this election is stolen from Donald J. Trump.’”
So, what? We had a 4GW ramping up made of underground patriot groups who really were going to “take the country back”? The diarist quoted above did not actually believe that.
But perhaps the Federal government was preparing for such a possibility? It could explain a lot of stuff people had been seeing in terms of weapons, trains, camps, etc.
When I wake from the illusion I hope I will have learned well.
