It began as a well-intentioned, but misconceived, #NeverAgain, response to the evils of Nazism & its criminally insane "racial ideology", which conflated race & ethnicity. Ashkenazi Jews are not a different race from other Europeans, but belong to the same, White, race.
However, the trauma Jews suffered at the hands of the Nazis caused many to deny & despise their own race, which, spreading from academia & institutions like the BBC & @thetimes, in Britain, has become a major self-destructive cultural element in Western civilisation.
This self-destructive culture of White racial self-denial, self-contempt & even self-hatred comes on top of this:
I've known that Western civilisation is committing suicide ever since realising that instead of facing up to the existential need for a #SustainabilityRevolution, it was sticking with a mercenary, rapacious, DRIVEN & thus inherently unsustainable global economy.
We were warned in the 1970's & opted definitively for #CivilisationalSuicide when the economy was put into super-global & turbo mode in the 1980s.
There was nothing I could do, but look on in horror, & try to understand this madness, which I now do. But no one's interested.
How can anyone - esp. if they have young children or grandchildren - not be interested in the civilisation their future depends on committing suicide?
Simon & Garfunkel had the answer in their song, The Boxer:
🎶A man hears what he wants
to hear & disregards the rest🎶
ONE gigantic error was responsible for this tragedy, as it was for the 1000s of vulnerable girls sexually abused by grooming gangs, but to speak its name is taboo, i.e. RACIST.
BigBro & his minions want us to believe that anyone criticising DIVERSITY is inciting xenophobia & racial hatred, which is how they have succeeded in suppressing virtually all opposition to it. Remember #EnochPowell?
Enoch Powell was the most eminent political figure demonised as a RACIST for opposing the madness of mass immigration & DIVERSITY. But the madness, the method to which I elaborate on below, continues to this day.
The natural foundation stone of SOCIALISM is NATIONALISM, but because the Nazis called themselves National Socialists this truth is denied & suppressed.
It's high time we liberated the concept of national socialism from Nazi occupation & renamed it multi-national socialism.
A previous generation of social scientists is responsible for this grave mistake, which we urgently need the present generation of social scientists to correct.
Academics do not like the idea of multi-national socialism, because it undermines the state's own claim to nationhood.
The state's claim to nationhood is how it tricks us into loving BigBro.
There are no genuine nations (which is why socialism always fails), just mercenary #PatronStates deceitfully posing as nations, in order to legitimise themselves, their ruling elites & favoured clients.
#BretWeinstein refers to an essay by #ArthurKoestler, The Nightmare That Is a Reality, published in January 1944, which has an important message for us today.
This is my response, the first tweet of a short thread, so please click on it. twitter.com/rogerahicks/st…
The Holocaust was just one, especially horrific, act in a much longer play that is the history & suicide of Western, i.e. European, civilisation.
As historian A J Toynbee observed, ALL successful civilisations ultimately commit suicide. Why would ours be an exception?
There's no reason to suppose our civilisation is an exception, & a mountain of evidence to suggest otherwise.
We're naturally inclined to look to the brightest & most successful (e.g. #BillGates, #Elonmusk) for wisdom & advice, but they are blinded by their own very success.
The TRUTH is that DIVERSITY is Orwellian newspeak for #RacialMixing, the destroyer of genuine human diversity, which is a product of pre-modern #NaturalSegregation.
We shouldn't be surprised that Orwellian newspeak is such a prominent part of what it now means to be British, Britain itself being an Orwellian construct of lies, deceit & a regime of rewards & intimidation.
America too never became the nation its founders had hoped it would, but just a bigger, more powerful, clone of Great Britain: a mercenary #PatronState deceitfully posing as a nation, in order to legitimise itself, its ruling elites & the immense power they wield & abuse.
To equate White identity with White supremacy is insane. We don't equate Black or Jewish Identity with Black or Jewish supremacy (notwithstanding that some Black & Jewish supremacists exist), but for some reason White identity is taboo & it is important to understand why.
It does have to do with the Nazis having been White, & with not just Jewish trauma at their hands, but they were NOT White supremacists. Far from it, the Nazis were Germano-ethno-supremacists, the vast majority of whose victims were also White.
