Very interesting piece by Steve Turley around why the mainstream media and the Left in general are so obsessed with pushing essentially narratives of racial divide, white privilege, etc. Remember the whole driving mechanism of the left from its birth in the 19th century was towards the attainment of power, and which was justified by the overthrow of an oppressive status quo, whose existence wouldn’t have been that hard to point towards. So the Left needs the opposition to equate to oppression, and of course itself to equate to moral truth, otherwise it has no justification. They’re kind of like vampires, where narratives of oppression are the blood they feed from. This is their life-force, and if left to their own without an external target, they soon otherwise begin to be running on empty. Thus in Soviet Russia, when the more obviously ‘external’ enemies of the Communist state, such as the bourgeoisie, had been exhausted, Stalin and the Party then turned with great force inwards, to supposed enemies of the State from within state structures such as the Party itself, the military, and even the Soviet secret police, the NKVD. This wasn’t simply a great contradiction of Marxist-Leninism by the opportunistic, dictatorial, and paranoid usurper Stalin, but was instead a continuation of the same logic. It’s just that the great need for the category of “Enemies of the People”, in other words, enemies of the State, now had to be satisfied from closer to home. Human sacrifices are required of this god. The Left needs to operate from a war footing, else it atrophies energetically.
This also is the meaning behind the focus and pushing of the gender, transgender stuff, etc of late: it is a narrative of oppression the left can focus on, and in reality with no concern or compassion for the people involved. This is not an in-the-moment response to a contemporary issue; instead it is precisely an ideological affair intentionally pushed to the forefront, fulfilling the need for narratives of oppressors to be vanquished and oppressed to be championed by the righteous. It as a broader issue is also an effort to loosen from within the force of resistance of conventional society to its own undermining by these righteous ones. It’s the method of taking down a fortress by attacking its foundations from beneath rather than via a frontal assault. If everything, from moral to even biological truths, are seemingly made relative, then what kind of certainty is left from where to judge anything? It’s a weakening of the immune system.
The problem with such methods though is particularly when processes are sped up from a quite insidiously subtle pace to, as is happening now, an aggressively accelerated one, then to very many the discordant nature of all this supposed righteousness becomes unveiled, with for instance the pushing of males now transgendered to be declared females and then dominate at female sports, including ones like wrestling where the physical advantages are grotesquely obvious. Rather than a question of liberation from oppression, all this is obviously grossly unfair on female athletes. Just because you are a majority - such as females who are naturally females - doesn’t mean your rights are intrinsically irrelevant when pitted against a minority just because they’re a minority! That’s just some perverse parody of democracy where, regardless of the issue, the minority rather than the majority have the most moral clout.
And a broader thought, regardless of the ideological veneer of left, right or whatever, if you are a group united by a desire to lord it over others and oppress, and somehow, legally or illegally, you attain governmental authority, then as you enact the obnoxious policies to enforce this obnoxious inner reality, people start to really notice! To every action, it is said, there is an equal and opposite reaction; and then it becomes an issue of the nature of the reaction.
Anyway, to put a halt to things, that’s enough!
