Part of the problem is that the Left is using social media pressure to push their false psychological narrative of widespread systemic racial discrimination and intolerance. Take in point the fact that rural or hardworking "middle-class" Americans are being unfairly targeted with this false narrative. When I was growing up, our rural agricultural community included many ethnic residents and NOT ONCE did my parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents, neighbors, siblings or circles of friend ever say ANYTHING racial about another person. We didn't think twice about the uniquely different people who lived here even though there were different hues of skin, interesting accents and fascinating idioms/sayings/expressions, customs and cuisines. Not once did I ever ask my parents why someone spoke English in a funny way or ask about a "white-skinned" man being married to someone with a different hue of skin color or "accent". We all embraced and learned from each other. We didn't know that people were being mistreated because of these differences in other parts of the world but when that was revealed, our parents taught us that it was wrong. This psychological "war" on America is the method being used by the Left to divide Americans and the Media is their strongest weapon. I wish people would boycott the corrupt media outlets and put them out of commission. Too bad there are so many "useful idiots" among us that cannot see that they will "sink with the ship" right along side of the people that they are being brainwashed to believe are their "enemies". Back in the day, it was "character" that mattered, just as Martin Luther King Jr alluded to, "...where they will be judged by the content of their character." When a child hears stories from grandparents about any mistreatments due to the hue of their skin, there will no longer be any history or proof of such a thing because the Left has pretty much erased our history already, and besides... we'll all be starving together, side-by-side with each other. But then again, maybe the ship will have already sunk by then.
Yes, I wish more people would question why there is all this top down talk about “anti-racism”, DEI, etc. It’s not an organic movement. What, the government all of a sudden cares about minorities and their lack of representation? No, the real reason is they want us all in the same boat (equity), reliant on the system (deep state), with no way for upward mobility (WEF’s “own nothing and be happy, i.e. communism). People kept posting #resist on their social media during Trump’s presidency, when it should be directed towards the current administration. People think they’re part of some kind of resistance movement, but true resistance is organic and comes from the bottom up and not top down. To quote the late great Gil Scott Heron: “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”.
I’ll never forget how blacks all over the country were ecstatic and cheering when they heard OJ was acquitted for killing two white people. And our ruling class, predominantly Woke white leftists, are far more anti-white now than they were then. Such despicably evil pigs they are. I hate them with a very deep passion. Saagar has a good video on what he thought of the verdict and how the bigotry against white people is still flourishing now.

Two reasons that white people don't stand up against it. One, They have been shamed for so long, that many take on the "shame" of being white. The problem with Shame is there is no redemption. Guilt is doing something bad. Shame is BEING bad. The second reason is many just ignore it thinking that it will just go away because they know that they are not racist. Neither group stands up to it for different reasons.
Yes, they set the bar, like, words can be violence, and then they set the standards for the violent words, and the media laps it up and promulgates it.
The right needs to take back what the SCOTUS has ruled on, that words aren't violence, and one can speak the truth without fear of retribution.
The best antidote to all of this nonsense is to openly speak truth without fear. Evil runs away from truth when boldly spoken. We have the right to free speech regardless what a SCOTUS says or anyone else for that matter. It is a right that we have just because we exist. We need to stop accepting the curse and stop waiting for permission to exercise our inherent rights and duties and to stand.
Incidently, it was the power of Shame that was used on the world population during the plan-demic to control everyone and force submission and cause people to turn on each other. I was just reading the work of Brené Brown on shame in a book "Dare to Lead". Shame is the "I'm never good enough" emotion and creates a fear of disconnection and of never belonging. Wow. It hit me like a ton of bricks. It is a powerful tool of control to keep us from having boundaries, being our best and from standing up for what we know is right and acting.
Yes. It is a VERY powerful negative emotion that acts like a curse on someone. The first step to deactivate it's power as the "victim" is to recognize what it is. It's not real if you don't take it on and accept it.
The Left, or its most visible sub-section, our "best and brightest" at our elite (because most expensive) instituions of learning, are now loudly-proudly chanting: "Death to America!"
No, it's not a Woody Allen grotesque. It's happening, and there already "thinkers explaining" that chants like this arenot to be considered violent or even threatening. They are just, you know . . .
The people screaming "Death to America!" are also the same volks-comrades that want to forcibly confiscate our guns – does anyone see a connection between the two concepts?
Thanks Sasha, that was an excellent and enlightening interview by Tucker. I was pleased to hear Tucker quickly (and gently) call out Mr Carl for his use of the term "reverse racism" by correctly pointing out that racism is racism whether it's employed against someone who is black, brown, red, yellow or...yes, even white! My sense is that the Left is using this divisive tactic as a means of gaining and maintaining power...sadly, those on all sides of the issue will suffer the consequences.
They don’t need to be Christian to be committed to things like free speech and meritocracy. Vivek, Saagar from Breaking Points and Harmeet Dhillon are all Hindu and strongly committed to these things.
What is racism? The left obviously doesn’t believe blacks can compete with other races academically which is why they’re replacing meritocracy with equity but what if they’re right? What if, in group terms, blacks simply are significantly less intelligent than other races? Now what?
But "intelligence" is even less definable than "racism", imo.
"Equity", of course, is codeword for Marxism at best, and the fate of Harrison Bergeron in practice.
And yes, the real racism of the Left is the bigotry of low expectations, as once pointed out by the last sort-of-good Democrat, decades ago. In the real world, Blacks of the West (think Douglass, Sowell, Thomas, Tyrus,...) who know whites are *not* racist as a group, and who compete with *non-guilty* whites, do just fine as *equals*. No chips on *any* shoulders.
“But "intelligence" is even less definable than "racism", imo.”
Standards measure intelligence. The higher the standards the more intelligence a person needs to meet the standards. This has a “disparate impact” on blacks which is why they’re labeled as “racist” and unacceptable by the left.
“Editor’s Note: America is at war. This is not a traditional war, fought on a battlefield against an external enemy. It is a civilizational conflict against an internal enemy: the group quota regime, a revolutionary threat that seeks to reorganize American society around the principle of outcome equality — what the regime’s partisans call “equity.”
“This cold civil war may go unnoticed by many day-to-day, but its stakes are often as high as life and death. Here, Roger B. Cohen, a celebrated oncologist and professor in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, explains how the group quota regime has taken hold of the American medical education system and asks urgent questions about the consequences for medicine, for the sick, and for the country.”
Standards measure knowledge, not intelligence, but again, this is opinion, so I won't further argue the point.
The much bigger issue is how we as a society treat the individual. The individual should always be judged as such, and never as a (pre-judged) member of a race. Intelligence has nothing to do with this basic moral principle. The Left, today, is in total violation of this, on basically any and all issues.
I have been enjoying TomKlingenstein very much! Do you happen to know the origin of that website, Seva?
“The much bigger issue is how we as a society treat the individual.”
The left will never allow people to be judged as individuals because they know this will lead to huge group differences which is totally unacceptable to them. I know nothing about that site and haven’t gone to it. The link to it was on Real Clear Politics. A great site. They were certainly horrified by the article. Even added the “Editor’s Note” to it. I recommend a search on “bing.” Much better than Google. I’ve been surprised by how much information they can find apparently because it uses GPT-4.
You give the Left too much credit. They only *use* issues to further Statism, with the final goal of left endpoint Fascism/Marxism.
There exist among human beings *no* fundamental group differences. The *only* differences in human populations *anywhere* are solely caused by societal systems (and over time, this has degraded whole populations) specifically how free (in real terms, not Leftist freedom from wants, but freedoms *of* things, like life, liberty, and property, i.e. pursuit of happiness) the individual from government force to conform to Statist narrative.
I'm beginning to think you have a race problem, Seva. You sure seem to be taking issue with me on grounds of some kind of fundamental caucasian superiority.
The superiority of Western Civilization is based on the nature of the *human* being. It is colorblind, or it is denuded of all legitimacy.
Nature vs nurture again. Pretty much any measurement system we have devised to date shows this but where did it come from. Whole bunch of dysfunctional cultural influences are a partial driver. It is true that the Left believes this to be true, hence affirmative action and DEI. And remember the racialization of the learning style literature. Hadn't seen that for a while but it is still out there.
They have programmed the blacks and others to not THINK that they can compete academically or otherwise. When they believe it, then their only "saviors" are the elite in power. It's not a left or right thing, it's an elitist mind set. They apply the same "mindset" to women. Women are not a "minority" and yet they think they need special rules and help to compete fairly. It's all a psyop and a curse of victimhood. Now white men will become cowered as well because of the total beat down and shame given to them over decades. We ALL have to stop looking at each other as the problem and look up and stop complying with the fake rules and fake regulations. The elite ARE the problem only because we all comply and "buy in" to the lies.
That guy does not seem to have a very good grip on things. The Far Left has been able to essentially exterminate the Near Left largely by taking over education and then proceeding as if there is no such thing as fallacies. Every fallacy has a superficial appeal, or there would be no need to identify it as invalid. But we now live in a world where our "best and brightest" young people routinely regard as devastating various arguments (e.g. name-calling, guilt by association, shifting meaning) that a medieval monk would have laughed at.
More like the WESTS downfall. Who is behind it? WHY? And what do they stand to gain for their effort? Are the other races that malleable that they believe they can enslave them with less protest? Just put a big Aunty Samanta titty in their faces and give them the necessities via a money system that can create all they want out of thin air? FREE everything? Why else do you suppose they are flocking to western countries other than to rape the white women? On that subject look at Sweden. A few years back rape was pretty uncommon at about 400 a year in the whole country. Latest statistics was 43,00+ in a year. THAT'S RIGHT. In a country where people can't carry a gun to protect themselves since no one ever raped a .38, FORTY THREE THOUSAND + WHITE SWEDISH WOMEN WERE RAPED LAST YEAR. According to a Swedish source here on Substack. Don't try that shit in MY TOWN. There will be no repeat offender if I find someone raping a woman in my town.
I have to disagree with Tucker's opening point about 1994. If I teleported from 1994 into now, I wouldn't be surprised at all (aside from the fact that Armageddon never happened yet).
That thing about vilifying white men got me thinking of all the "father figures" in the syndicated tv shows that I grew up with....
In the late eighties, there was Al Bundy and Homer Simpson. Both white men, both "bumbling idiots". And then there was Bill Cosby (whatever year that was), and he was the "wise father".
Ralph Cramden and Fred Flintstone might be early versions of Al Bundy, but, Al Bundy has one other feature that Ralph and Fred don't. Al has a good for nothing wife who's a bitch, whereas Alice and Wilma were awesome.
This was also when "Reality TV" shows were new. I think MTV started it with "The Real World", and I think that was really what got the the ball rolling I the first place.
In the seventies, Mr Cunningham was at least a competent guy.. Sometimes wise, always kind...
Fred Sanford had a certain strength and competence about him, even when he's wrong! Lol... Same with Archie Bunker. There was a brutal honesty with those two that could never be put on TV nowadays..
I never watched "Leave it to Beaver", but I think that father was a respectable father figure, right?
Anyways, to get back to the point... I wouldn't be surprised, at all, if I just beamed here from 1994. If anything, I would probably be glad it's not worse than it is. But that's not to say I think it's ok. I just think that those who influence our culture have been steering us in the wrong direction for decades now.
Heather MacDonald points out how our judicial system is being destroyed by the left’s war on meritocracy due to it having a “disparate impact” on blacks which to the left is irrefutable proof of racism. They’re doing the same thing to all areas of our society from medical schools that train future doctors to the policing of crime in our cities which has been labeled “racist” by the left for having a disparate impact on blacks which is then considered unacceptable and the crime in cities like Chicago where I live is basically allowed to flourish since it’d be “racist” to seriously crack down on it and simply stop it. This is not working at all and is unsustainable.

If the Far Left is not "re-fringed" in a hurry, which does not seem likely, it is a matter of time till the Demos win a national election and establish a one-party state.

Prepare for the left raining hell down on Tucker as this is proof that he's a facist christian nationalist.
That's the strategy. Engage in anti white hate, and then when it's called out, accuse the person calling it out as a Shite Christian Nationalist.
Damn, but how long will the white liberal ladies keep falling for this shit? Even the Blacks and Hispanics are on to this and moving to the right.
A significant trait of the ruling class today is that they are no longer majority Christian. And those that are Christian are of the meek variety.
They don’t need to be Christian to be committed to things like free speech and meritocracy. Vivek, Saagar from Breaking Points and Harmeet Dhillon are all Hindu and strongly committed to these things.
As is Tulsi.
There is no such thing as original sin.
We whites of the West are no longer racist, nor do we owe one penny for the racism of our ancestors.
The Left only *uses* racism and white guilt to further destroy individual freedom.

One of the ever-false assertions of the left is that the right is based on desires for ‘hierarchies.’
But isn’t that a primary predilection of the left, as proven by their obsession with the hierarchies of skin colour and racism?
Yes, David. I wrote a haiku to remember it. “The hierarchy, of all victimization, is the foundation.”
If the Far Left is not "re-fringed" in a hurry, which does not seem likely, it is a matter of time till the Demos win a national election and establish a one-party state.
