For some very insightful reading on this subject, read “Ominous Parallels” by Leonard Peikoff.
The institutional left has always been the ‘America stinks’ crowd. The nullity of multiculturalism and its moral equivalence is the grease that leaves the young vulnerable to the leftist bilge that fills the void. The “new” American exceptionalism is the warn out belief that socialism will work for them this time. As Peikoff’s mentor said around fifty years ago, “if you want to know what’s wrong with society, look at what is taught at universities”.
It’s interesting that in this case the institution is a private one which makes it an easy target for protest and boycott.
But Mexicans are part of Western civilization.
Marxism, the preferred dogma of progs, was founded by a man who never held a job.
Unfortunately too many people who lived through the Soviet and Mao eras are dying, and the progs are romaniticizing Marxism.
It’s called “Democratic Marxism” … Marxism lite … happy touchy feely Marxism. Romanticized Marxism. The dull witted, uneducated, American public (50% who speak English as a second language) … will weep tears of blood, when they finally learn the truth.
As an aside, my public school teacher wife starts every single day with her pupils reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. 1. I am shocked that none of her parents have objected in 25 years of teaching, 2. I am counting the days till her Principal demands that she stop the practice, and 3. I look forward to winning a MASSIVE $$$ judgement against her school district when she is wrongfully terminated for reciting the Pledge.
The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation and a Liberal Carbon Tax.

I know I sound like a broken record but conservatives need to be applying these principles when we have power. Left wing apparatchiks need to be given their walking papers at the slightest misstep…as has been done to conservatives. Socialist/communist speech should be deemed hate speech. We need to install Ezra Levant types as the bureaucratic lever pullers and so on.
We are playing nice with people that have been at war with us for over a generation. We genuflect at our own peril.
But a push back won’t happen until they come for us in the night.
Yes, but how exactly?
People who “don’t feel safe” in Starbucks because a couple of police officers are getting coffee there don’t strike me as the type likely able to summon the gumption to approach an unknown household tactically in the dark.
My suggestion: make every government employee re-apply for his job, after handing over access to all his personal e-mail and social media accounts.
Anybody found to be a globalist, a queer, a Muslim or any combination of the three is to be placed on a blacklist of people whose employment by government or government contractors is strictly prohibited.
No married women, unmarried women over 25, “diversity” hires of any race, or non-native speakers of English are to be hired back either.
That should reduce the number of civil servants of dubious loyalty to the nation to approximately zero.

Honest question
Will Scheer apply these principles when conservatives have power?
Yuri Bezmenov warned us that this was happening, and now we see that Marxism feels empowered enough to actually make moves to take over our society and destroy classical western liberal civilization.
I know the following quote might be becoming repetitive on my part, but it daily in many aspects of our society seems to be becoming a reality.
“We come to our world expecting to see light and so we see light. But it is not light at all. It is, rather, twilight. If we look closer, we see that the shadows have already begun growing longer.
And there, off in the distance, we dimly apprehend a darkness, gathering, and it is coming our way.” Curtis R. McManus
“Socialist/communist speech should be deemed hate speech”
The Indian Schools “self” inquiry made the hateful accusation of Canadian Genocide..
The Indian missing girls “self” inquiry made the hateful accusation of Canadian Genocide…
Where is the Criminal investigate of those examples of HATE speech, all the PLL who serve/served in Indian Affaires are demonized by this hate speech. A Court may find the accusation was unwarranted / self-serving & award damages.
I think the Groper should be arrested and tried at The Hague for genocide. Didn’t he confess? Being locked in a Dutch prison for life would be like having a gay pride parade every day.
I’m not sure how anyone could understand world history without including Western Civilization. Like it or not, the path from the empires of Greece to Rome to Europe and Britian to the US is massive and important to the world’s political evolution and revolution, war, science and technology, medicine, immigration and demographics, culture, art, language…
There’s room to teach the good, the bad and the ugly but there is good…lots of good that gets ignored or radically altered and twisted to conform to the Western culture is evil narrative.
Again, the only way to understand liberals and progressives is to see wokeness as the left’s version of “born again” and social justice as a new fundamentalist religion. Original sin comes from having ancestors from Western Civilization. Regardless if you descend from royalty and aristocracy or peasants and paupers (most of us), having a Western/European bloodline automatically means being born evil. I used to think the woke religion allowed redemption for its followers through unending self-flagellation about white guilt -but- it’s become obvious that redemption for the original sin of being white means privileged, woke white people punching down on white people lower on the educational and socioeconomic scale. Woke evangelicals are angry, spiteful and resentful jackasses spreading misery wherever they can.
Then, after relentlessly attacking those lower on the socioeconomic and educational scale, liberals and progressives can’t understand why those uneducated deplorables keep voting against their economic interests by voting conservative. Yep, it’s a mystery for the ages why blue collar workers, working class families and high school educated voters hesitate to vote for parties that repeatedly tell them they’re poor, white trash….oops, I mean unfairly privileged poor white trash, of course, according to the left.
This study, if verified, explains why liberals and progressives in politics, academia, Hollywood and journalism treat poorer whites so horribly despite poor whites being much more disadvantaged than themselves. It’s how liberals and progressives brains are wired. It blinds them to the suffering of blue collar, working class and poor whites.
“Researchers provided participants with some academic literature explaining the concept of white privilege and then asked them to gauge their reactions to hearing a story about an unfortunate man. For some participants, the man was described as black, for others, he was described as white. Researchers also ran a separate experiment in which the participants were not told about white privilege before reacting to the story. They also queried both sets of participants about their political beliefs.
What they found was that conservatives who had learned about white privilege were no more sympathetic to the poor black man than conservatives who had not learned about white privilege. For liberals, the results were alarming: Liberals who read the educational materials about white privilege were similarly unsympathetic to the poor black man as the liberals in the second experiment, but they were even more unsympathetic to the poor white man.
“What we found startling was that white privilege lessons didn’t increase liberals’ sympathy for poor Black people,” writes Erin Cooley, one of the study’s authors and an assistant professor of psychology at Colgate University, in an explanatory post for Vice. “Instead, these lessons decreased liberals’ sympathy for poor white people…”
They don’t want people to understand western civilization. Those who do don’t become Marxists.
In reading the article, I noticed an interesting reference to a certain Democrat candidate for President. Hmmmmmm…….
Huckabee said to her (approximately) But surely you weren’t fired for advocating for western civilization.
And I confess, after reading thousands of inaccurate internet headlines, I was wondering about this too. For a second or two. Until I remembered that in many jurisdictions now, students applying for acceptance into “education” studies, must sign onto all the prevalent prog cliches like “diversity and inclusiveness”.
But the cliches are inherently anti-western-civ because we civilizationalists simply don’t buy the BIG lie that all cultures are equally worthy. We believe western civ is superior.
She said it out loud in her private life and wham!
So aside from free speech, freedom, democracy, a higher standard of living, health care, a middle class, stability, safety, rights and the ability to piss it all away, What has western civilization ever given us?
