High Drama and Bullshit in Weimar
Anyone familiar with the game plans of Cultural Marxists, Post-modernists, and angry vagabonds knows that current events are unfolding beyond what they could have possibly hoped for -- an entire generation of clueless ill-informed lemmings openly bringing upon themselves the most dystopian of political nightmares.
Charlottesville
We get it. Racism is bad. Racists are bad. How much of America's population is actually rooting for frustrated redneck Nazi wannabes? Not many. On the other hand, there is now a sizable number of largely unemployable public school "educated" drones ready to man the barricades in the struggle against fascism, real and imagined (I'd say, mostly imagined).
Enter, for the millionth time this year, Donald Trump -- also known as, The President of the United States. If this was a saner time, a few pundits from leftland would have whined, during one day of news, "he should have been more specific and concentrated on those white supremacists among the agitators." The following day we'd be back to wondering where the economy was going or if the international scene warranted concern.
This is not a "saner" time. It doesn't matter what Donald Trump said or didn't say, or when he said or didn't say it. The "Alt Left" (which is actually the same old stale left we've known since at least the French Revolution) has been ready to pounce for some time now. After decades of public school and university inculcation of relativism, grievance, and baseless angst, most major institutions that "inform," guide, and dictate the body politick have steered us onto the path that all dead nations eventually find themselves on.
Donald Trump has been a major public figure for decades and I know of no instance where anyone even suggested any "racism" in his character. Now all of a sudden anything he might say reveals the horrors of "white privilege" and a heart full of micro-aggressions. Of course, anyone not ordained to be amongst the noble "oppressed" is now fair game for such nonsense but Trump adds the extra troublesome feature of threatening to whittle away the mega-state and all its promise to finally rein in the lowly plebeians who have failed to give homage to the philosopher kings currently circling overhead.
Trump is not the most skilled or polished messenger but, in the end, what he usually says, though sometimes exaggerated, is pretty spot on. In Charlottesville, the usual band of "antifa" /anarchist thugs came with every bit of trouble-making energy as the neanderthal racists they claimed they were there to peacefully "resist." There were despicable forces "on all sides" (along with the usual fairly innocent followers no doubt).There is absolutely nothing careless or inaccurate about Trump's statement. More than a few insightful sources have made the analogy to Weimar Germany. We know that the militarists and Nazis in the streets of Germany at the time were some horrible people who would definitely make a -- beyond terrible -- difference in the end. If only the communist agitators in the streets at the time had ascended to power, we could then have rested comfortably knowing a new branch office for that strain of compulsory collectivism would set thing right (sarcasm intended).
And, so it is today. Clueless brigades wait to eventually choose who will drag them into the mud of chaos and demise while power hungry monsters "on both sides" set the stage for another dark chapter in human history. We know where Weimar Germany led Germany to. Where will Charlottesville take us?
