More than the rampant looting and the street battles, more than the clashes between police and protesters, these scenes of white people genuflecting in mass public affirmations of their own guilt is the key to understanding where all this is headed.
The model at work here is the Chinese Cultural Revolution, with its mass “struggle sessions” in which anyone deemed insufficiently sympathetic to the proletariat, or thought to have an excessively bourgeois lifestyle, was subjected to public humiliations, paraded through the streets, assaulted, denounced, and put on display as objects of scorn. Often these struggle sessions ended in false confessions and pleas for mercy.
Obviously, no one in America is being paraded through the streets against their will. But by rushing to profess their supposed guilt for racism, these people are admitting that they need publicly to affirm their allegiance to woke identity politics. This represents nothing less than the emergence of a new regime in American life. What is now a voluntary and seemingly spontaneous public affirmation of progressive ideology will in time become a requirement. If you want a career or a public platform or a professional life in mainstream society, you’ll have to profess allegiance to the cultural left.
I think the kneeling is stupid because it is subservient. As a white person I am not subservient to a black person because of the shade of my skin. I have zero white guilt for slavery that ended over 150 years ago because I had nothing to do with it. I cannot even join in the walks, the protests, the riots or the looting because I do not know what it means to be a black guy.
I can have empathy for them but I prefer to treat any one with a simple form of respect that I then expect in return. The golden rule of do to others is something we should all live by and we wouldn't be having all these problems.
We should all strive to view each other as equals. It is really that simple.
There was a photo of Biden taking a knee at a church with black people standing behind him. What a buffoon.
I'd rather raise my fist in solidarity, pride and strength then kneel to the Lefts new ideology.
Thats what a cult looks like. I will pass if its the death of me.
