Fun Quote:
This was a popular, and illegal, joke in Russia
under the Soviet Union:
"Saudi Arabia just went Communist.
The government has announced that they have a shortage of sand."
Americans are Beginning to Realize That
People Hate Them. Well, DUHHH!
For two generations we have paid professors to
insult America and white people.
Now we are astonished that a lot of people who
went to college hate America.
DUHHHH!
I have been in Europe repeatedly since the
1950s. Every time I have been in Europe I have taken it for
granted that Europeans hate Americans. What I mean by “hate
Americans” is that Europeans always express the same opinion of
America you hear at our universities or in New England or in any
other place where Fashionable Opinion rules.
What everybody calls the European Point of View
is really just what they read in our own dominant media like the New
York Times. This is what Europeans hear quoted in Europe.
That is the opinion Americans pay to hear, so
why shouldn’t Europeans assume it’s the straight scoop?
What the average American never understood was
that when a New Englander or a Walter Cronkite says white people or
Americans are unspeakable, he is engaging in hate.
When the Cronkites or New Englanders or
American professors go to Europe, they talk a lot worse about us
than the Dixie Chicks ever did.
But everybody knew when American liberals said
nasty things about America that was different from Hate. That was
Fashionable Opinion.
The Final Solution to the America Problem
Fashionable Opinion routinely says the same
thing about white people that Hitler said about Jews, but
Fashionable Opinion can’t be hate, you see. What Hitler said was
Hate. What Fashionable Opinion says is Constructive Criticism.
Fashionable Opinion talks about America, white
people, the male sex, and the human race in general exactly the same way
the Klan talks about minorities.
Fashionable Opinion says the only solution to
the “race” problem is for the third world to pour into EVERY white
majority country and ONLY into white majority countries.
The liberal solution to the white problem,
which their code language calls the Race Problem, is to get rid of whites.
Which is exactly what Hitler said about Jews.
All respectable conservatives agree.
So we cheer them for their intellectual bravery.
Fashionable Opinion says that white people are
the cancer of history. They say that whites are guilty of everything
bad that was ever done by the human race.
That’s precisely what Hitler said about Jews.
So We'll Soon Wipe Their Spit Off Our Faces
and Thank Them
For the last fifty years, when Europeans spit
in our faces, we said they were just giving us their exotic point of
view. It wasn’t hate. It was American Fashionable Opinion.
All those years I noticed the American attitude
was the same as the attitude of the guy in the cartoon who looked up
at a bird in a tree and said, “Go ahead, everybody else does.”
The difference is that the guy looking at the
bird was disgusted. Americans cheered wildly while they got dumped
on.
You can only hate minorities. All
of
Fashionable Opinion has said that for decades and we have paid them to
say it.
Then came a new era. During the Iraq War,
Europeans grabbed us by the ears, looked us right in the eye, and
shouted, “LISTEN, YOU STUPID ASS, I HATE YOUR GODDAM GUTS!”
Suddenly Americans had a Revelation. “You know
something, they said, Europeans really don’t LIKE us!”
Then something else began to occur to the
American public. Americans began to realize that all those insults
they had cheered and paid for down the years were actually not nice
at all
Don’t worry, Fashionable Opinion. Americans
have the memory of a fly on LSD. They will soon forget they resent
anything Europe ever said.
We Can Learn from European Hatred or
We Can Do What We Always Do
So how will Fashionable Opinion keep Americans
from learning anything?
All Fashionable Opinion has to say is that
you’re not a real grownup if you resent European insults. That
always works.
Let bygones be bygones, the commentators will
tell us.
Soon we’ll be back to normal. Everybody will
be spitting in our faces and we’ll be to cheering wildly.
Again.
For a moment Americans almost caught on to the
fact that the Left hates everything about us.
But when the day comes that Americans realize
that leftist
hate is just hate, the left will be doomed. It won't happen
this time.
When Europe got Americans killed because they
would not let us use their air space to attack Libya for terrorism,
some people woke up.
After Libya we were told that that it was just
holding grudges, so we stopped.
So once again the hatred we usually approve of
was a little too bare-toothed and some people almost woke up.
Briefly.
Respectable conservatism will help put us back
to sleep.
But don’t worry. Tell Americans about how
they’re just being childish again and they’ll forget it quick.
Things will get a lot worse before we have to face the fact that
Europeans and our own young people and everybody else hates our
guts.
Why do they hate our guts?
Because we pay people to tell them to.
