Since Conservative organizations aren’t engaged in a well-coordinated response to the Left’s mendaciousness, it signals the Left that they can get away with pushing the boundaries even further. Like a child testing the resolve of their parents, this will continue until they get appropriate resistance, or they succeed in attaining their goals.
For a while now their target has been America. Since they can’t (yet) take that on directly, the Left’s strategy has been to undermine its pillars (Science, Family, Religion, Freedoms, etc.). In arguably their boldest attack to date, they have been repeatedly proclaiming the incivility and criminality of being white.
Most white people think that this friction is just about racial differences — but they could not be more wrong. Racial inequalities, real or imagined, are just a spark to ignite an explosion, to blow up their much bigger target: America.
Simply look at what the Leftists (e.g., here) are identifying as evil characteristics of being white, and see how few actually have anything to do with racial injustices. Remember, everything on this list is characterized as being BAD:
The Scientific Method
Objective, rational linear thinking
Quantitative emphasis
Independence and autonomy
Self-reliance
Must “do something” about a problematic situation
When taking action, intent counts
Majority rules
Justice based on English common law
Property protection
Respect for authority
Rules for communication are based on the “King’s English”
Avoid conflict
Be polite
Holidays based on Christian religions
Primacy of Judeo–Christian traditions
No tolerance for deviation from the single-god concept
Hard work is the key to success (Protestant work ethic #1)
Work before play (Protestant work ethic #2)
Adherence to time schedules
Plan for future
Delayed gratification
Tomorrow will be better
Having a written tradition
A nuclear family (father, mother, 2.3 children is the ideal social unit)
Children should have their own rooms, be independent
Again, we are being advised to discard ALL of the above, simply because they are supposedly “white norms,” that non-whites have been “oppressed” into following.
The reality is that every tradition, practice, belief, rule, etc. has an origin that can be traced back to Adam and Eve. If we want to assign blame, they are the ones who made a bad choice. Our options are:
1 - We can double down on their error and go further into the abyss, or
2 - We can learn from their mistake and choose God as the answer.
In other words, as long as we are trying to substitute secular (human) value systems for Judeo-Christian standards, we will continue on a downward spiral to a VERY dark and destitute place…

Parents are critical to the solution. How children are raised in the home is how they will behave in public and in their adult lives. The two parent family is being threatened and in the case of our welfare programs, destroyed. Manners and respect don't exist anymore. Our educational system is a failure, and kids are falling through "woke" cracks in our sick society as big as canyons. Kids need strict boundaries and love and discipline. It's time to take back control from the Communist/Marxists who call themselves "Progressives" and re-instill the traditions that made this country the greatest on Earth.
Welcome to Marcuse’s world.
Throw in Foucault, Derrida, and the other communist clowns and we’ve got this mess.
