Imported decolonial ideology fuels homegrown American radicalism
βWhat began as a framework for analyzing colonial legacies has oified into a secular theology in western universities, NOS's and activist spaces. It no longer questions power as it replaces thought with posture. History is flattened into morality and politics reduced to grievance. The appeal of decolonial ideology is often strongest among diaspora communities in the west.β
Marxist elites believe Western civilization must be destroyed
βThe answer is that there are a bunch of people in the West, homegrown, who believe that our civilization is inherently guilty and ought to be torn down. They tend toward the Marxist left. The Marxist left believes of course that America was founded in sin. That America's foreign policy and the West foreign policy more broadly has been about exploitation and evil.β
βThis iteration of the Klan was built on a business model of multi-level marketing, where recruiters were paid for every new member they signed up. It was this commercial drive, combined with a sense of fraternal belonging, that allowed it to reach such unprecedented scale across the Midwest and West.β
Moral hypocrisy fueled the organization's collapse
βThe reckonings were both political and personal, as the movement struggled to survive its own internal corruption and the changing social tides of the late 1920s. By the time the Great Depression hit, the organization had largely collapsed, having been hollowed out from within by scandal and greed.β
βThis well quafted terrorup supporting Marxist piece of trash. He also suggested that he is pro- stealing and he likes the theft and again being treated with all the available sympathy and joy by the New York Times. Again, stealing is good. Terrorism is good. Hatred of America is good. So Hasan grew up in Istanbul and then he came back to the United States where he was originally born in order to cosplay communism and burn it all down.β
Women institutionalized the Klan's social influence
βWomen were the backbone of the Klanβs social integration, turning a hate group into a family-oriented social club. Through the WKKK, they organized boycotts of non-Protestant businesses and pushed the organizationβs agenda into the school system under the guise of patriotic education.β
βMegan Kelly be clowned herself yesterday because he had she had on Russell Brand... he literally talks about sleeping with that 16-year-old when he was 30. And Megan seems very accepting of this. So okay. Okay. Probably it's just you know consistency of principle and not clickoring. Probably it's that as it as it has been the whole time.β
Trumpβs Iran blockade strategy successfully depletes the regime
βWhat they are dying from right now, the Iranian government, is the blockade. The blockade is destroying them. The president is correct. He says, quote, 'I have all the time in the world, but Iran doesn't. The clock is ticking.' Correct. Time is not on their side. A deal will only be made when it's appropriate and good for the United States of America, our allies, and in fact, the rest of the world.β
Radical third-worldism now leads the Democratic Party
βThe future of the Democratic party is radical third worldism. Now they moved over from wokeness to radical third worldism. So wokeness which of course we're all familiar with was basically at its essence the idea that all inequality of result is inequity in the system. Third worldism is basically that same idea but internationally. So the idea is that all inequality globally is the result of western exploitation.β
California regulations cause the nation's highest gas prices
βWhen Democrats complain about high gas prices and then simultaneously undercut the entire energy market, it's a little bit awkward. The difference in gas price between Florida and where I was in Los Angeles was something like $3 a gallon. That is not because of Iran. That is because of the regulatory environment in California that makes it almost impossible to provide gas to the population at scale at an affordable price.β
βThe 1924 Democratic Convention in New York, famously known as the 'Klanbake,' was perhaps the most fractured political event in American history. It became a proxy war between the old, rural, Protestant America and the new, urban, Catholic, and immigrant-heavy population, leaving the party in tatters for years to follow.β
βThe downfall of the Indiana Klan, the most powerful branch in the country, was precipitated by the D.C. Stephenson scandal. When the charismatic leader was convicted of a horrific crime against a young woman, it revealed the vast gap between the Klan's moralistic rhetoric and the reality of its leadership.β
