In 2011 the
Occupy Wall Street Movement started. This movement says in it’s about section
on their website that it “[A]ims to fight back
against the richest 1% of people that are writing the rules of an unfair global
economy that is foreclosing on our future.” (http://occupywallst.org/about/). This
movement cloaks itself in the idea that they are standing up for the
marginalized against the 1%. Yet they do not talk about starting services to
help low income people work through the complex financial systems they say are
oppressing them. Instead they focus on the wealthy as the root of the problem.
It would seem that they do not care about helping those in need but rather
destroying those they see as the oppressors. They don’t want to help the poor
but instead hurt the rich.
In
2013 Black Lives Matter started gaining momentum. This movement says in it’s
about section on their website that “BlackLivesMatter
is a call to action and a response to the virulent anti-Black racism that
permeates our society.” (http://blacklivesmatter.com/about/)
This movement cloaks itself in the idea that they are standing up for “black
folks” against racism. Yet you do not see Black Lives Matter raising money to
help schools in local black communities or to combat crime in those
communities. Instead, under the Social Justice definition of racism (power + privilege),
they want to fight against the racists. They don’t want to help black people
but instead they want to hurt white people or anyone else they see as racist.
These
two movements show the division that has been present in our country before
Donald Trump ran for the Presidency. You can also find incidence’s similar to
these at Mizzou University, Yale University, and Claremont McKenna College. All of these events,
protests and movements were before Donald Trump took office and about people ‘standing
up’ for victims/ marginalized people. Yet none of these groups used the support
they gained and large number of people to make a change for those ‘victims’. Instead
they focused on removing those people they had a problem with from positions of
power.
So when news anchors and politicians
go on television and say, “well Donald Trump caused all this division” or “Trump
is at least in part responsible for this climate of hate” I have to call BS. He
may have added to the climate with remarks like “Knock the crap out of them, I’ll
pay your legal fees” refering to a protestor that may have been ready to throw
tomatoes at the then candidate Trump as a form of protest. This climate was
already being pushed in Universities since the 50s and expressed through activism
in groups like Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter. You can see Antifa is
just a reincarnation of the Weather Underground.
This division is part of a Post-Modernist
Neo-Marxist philosophy that has substituted the working class for identity
politics. This is an attempt to bring about the Marxist revolution and the
destruction of Western culture built on the Enlightenment Liberal principles of
free market capitalism, reason, logic and individual responsibility. This
philosophy with its latent nihilistic and violent tendencies has taken root in
the Democratic Party under the guise of equality, Social Justice and
multiculturalism. The division and hate pre-dates Trump’s rise to the
Presidency. Yet the Democrat Party (along with the mainstream media) blames
Trump and the Republicans for this division. The Democrats are dividing people
into groups and when Trump doesn’t do what they want they stir up the groups
and say “see Trump is causing division”.
These people know what they are
doing. They are not stupid. As Jung said, “people don't have ideas, ideas have people” and
these people are in the grip of the ideas of the Post-Modern Neo-Marxist to the
point of religious fervor. We must stick to our ideas of the importance of the
individual, free market capitalism, reason, logic and personal responsibility. For
it is in these ideas the West has found freedom, prosperity and strength and
will do so again.
