Why are we experiencing the worst civil disturbances in decades? It is because the proponents of radical change wont have it any other way.
Early 20th Century Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci theorized that the path to a communist future came through gradually undermining the pillars of western civilization. We are now seeing the results of decades of such erosion, in education, in faith, in politics and in the media. The old standards of freedom, individual responsibility, equality and civic order are being assaulted by proponents of socialism, radical deconstruction and mob rule.
Those who charge that institutional racism is rampant in America are the same as those who run the countrys major institutions city governments, academe, the media, Hollywood, major sports leagues and the Washington, D.C. deep state bureaucracy. Accountability? None. The irony is rich.
At the same time, the only legal and institutional structures that mandate racially based outcomes do so in favor of other-than- majority groups. Anyone who questions this arrangement winds up cancelled.
The public debate is hardwired for disunity, making the former language of inclusion the new dog whistle of racism. The exclusionary slogan black lives matter is sanctified while the more unifying all lives matter is called divisive. People who say they want a colorblind society are called bigots even as progressives push for segregated events and housing on college campuses and CHOP protesters demand Black-only hospitals. Martin Luther Kings dream that people will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character is judged by todays progressives as a call for white supremacy.
The media goes out of its way to coddle violent protesters, calling them peaceful even as they verbally abuse and then throw bottles at police, saying they are not generally speaking, unruly standing in front of a burning building. Political leaders who benefit from disunity keep fanning the flames. For example House Speaker Nancy Pelosis reckless charge that the Senate police reform bill is trying to get away with the murder of George Floyd is irresponsibly divisive, especially since it was drafted by African American Senator Tim Scott (R-SC).
