I remember when the GWOT was raging. There was a movement on the left that called for sensitivity in the way the terms “Islamic” and “terrorism” were used.

Obama himself said:

Emile Nakhleh is a retired CIA Senior Intelligence Service Officer at the CIA claimed that Obama was right to not say "radical Islam." According to him, avoiding the phrase isn't "politically correct." It's “strategic.”

Further, according to Nakhleh, using the term "radical Islam" is “divisive and adversarial, and it ALIENATES the very people we want to communicate with.”

So, the idea is that we aren’t supposed to use divisive terms when speaking about an entire group of people. Lumping people together is bad. But what about the terms “white supremacy” and “domestic terrorists”? How often do we here those?

A quick internet shows that America (Get that? The whole country) has a “white supremacy” problem. And domestic terrorists? All you have to do to be considered a domestic terrorist is disagree with CRT being taught to school children. Then you’re magically a domestic terrorist.

Even Hillary Clinton felt really good about labeling half of America as “irredeemable deplorables.” In other words, “scum of the earth, with no redeeming qualities.” Those words were used to describe anyone who refused to vote for her.

How about Kyle Rittenhouse? Even though he is white, and was forced to defend himself, which resulted in the deaths of two WHITE men, he was labeled a “white supremacist.”

In fact, regarding Rittenhouse, you might be surprised to learn that you are a white supremacist if you believe or have had any of the following thoughts:

Even actual African Americans can’t escape these wild claims of white supremacy. Winsome Sears, the first black woman elected to statewide office in Virginia, was accused of being a puppet of white supremacists. Disgusting.

So, why does the left now believe that it’s acceptable to demonize the whole of America with claims of white supremacy? Why is everything emblematic of white supremacy? Why is it now okay to lump large groups together and then slander them?

Are we no longer worried about alienating people? Does being “needlessly adversarial” and “divisive” no longer matter? If you vote for a Republican, does that automatically make you a racist and a white supremacist?

Evidence suggests that those on the political left have now have no problem demonizing those they disagree with. They invented cancel culture as a way to destroy anyone that doesn’t advance the approved narrative.

“White terrorists,” “white supremacists,” “Nazis,” and so on. I’m called these things almost daily on twitter. It’s even okay to punch *suspected* “Nazis.” I guess the good will that was extended to Muslims during the GWOT doesn’t apply to certain segments of American.

Speaking only for myself, I see no need to find common ground, or to even waste my time, with people who call me a racist or white supremacist. What’s the point? If they are going to demonize me in the same way that Nazis did the Jews, then I have nothing to say to them.

To the leftists that engage in this disgusting behavior, all I can say is grow the fuck up. For as long as you treat me like an enemy, and plot to strip me of my livelihood, I will likewise treat you as an enemy.

Oh, and for the record, I have never been a “racist white, supremacist, domestic terrorist, Nazi.”
