The Liberal War On You

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

We are witnessing the death of the liberal political machine that the elite has operated since the end of World War II, and everything that it is doing to conservatives right now – the censorship, the threats, the intimidation, the violence – is proof that it is dying. These are not the acts of an ideology in ascendance but rather of a scurrilous political paradigm in precipitous decline. And it’s only going to get worse as those losing their grip on political and cultural power desperately try to hold onto it in the face of our populist revolt.

Be prepared. It’s going to get uglier. Our would-be masters see the stakes – their power, prestige and position – and that’s why there is nothing they won’t do, no alleged principle they won’t upend, no bogus value they won’t abandon, to put off the reckoning that their greed and incompetence have brought upon them.

It’s not just happening here in America. It’s happening all over the world – in places like Australia, Hungary, the UK, Brazil, and Italy, uppity citizens have proclaimed that enough is enough, that they want to have a say in their own future. That they have had enough of multiculturalism, globalism and scorn. They want their countries back.

Let’s review the situation here. Silicon Valley’s tech moguls, who advocated a free and open internet when it was to their advantage, have found, to their horror, that Normal people could use it to make themselves heard about the utter failure of our betters at home and abroad. That’s why we have seen the elite’s 180-degree pivot toward censorship and thought control on the web. The progressives never believed in free speech except to the precise extent it was useful to them; the tech titans’ alleged libertarianism extended only as far as them not being held accountable to the people through the people’s government, and no further. Now that they are in power, well, free speech is suddenly very, very bad. People are saying things the elite dislikes. That’s not supposed to happen.

But it’s too late to shut us off from the web. Oh, they’ll try to stamp out the truth. They’ll demonetize Dennis Prager and bury search results for Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson, and they’ll try to hide the veritas of Project Veritas. But they did their internet building too well – the conservative samizdat will endure in the corners and shadows of the electronic frontier until such time as the politicians representing our interest get fully woke and take action to protect our rights. I look forward to the day when tech titans tremble in their Birkenstocks at hordes of eager attorneys suing them under new laws mandating algorithm transparency and non-discrimination on the basis of political views. I yearn to see them try to explain to the SJWs clamoring to ban some patriot who dares believe that no man can ever have a baby that “We can’t censor him! We’ll be dragged into court tomorrow and slammed for punitive damages!”

The tech bullies over-played their soft hands. Even fewer and fewer Fredocon goofs are bothering to push the line that True Conservatism™ requires us to shrug in the face of oppression if the oppressor calls itself a private entity. At the end of the day, the vulnerability of the Googles and the Facebooks is that U.S. Marshals can show up in Santa Clara and levy on their assets and arrest their owners for violating injunctions against discrimination. They have their power, but we have ours.

Liberals are using their power in the meantime. On June 29th we saw an editorial in the Washington Post delighting in the notion that conservatives may be driven from public accommodations for the crime of thinking dissenting thoughts. The New York Times ran an editorial calling on Border Patrol agents to be doxed and anyone associated with them ostracized from society. I won’t link to either idiotogram; you can find them if you wish to wallow in those cesspools.

Also in the NYT, Bret Stephens – a Fredocon submissive of such Conservative, Inc., squishiness that he’s practically wearing a sailor suit and shouting “Ahoy!” – dared to quietly and with qualifications mention that perhaps the Democrat candidates might consider maybe possibly thinking about not totally hating on the Normal Americans they need to vote for Democrats in 2020. For his trouble, he got called a “white nationalist.” But to be fair, the left calls everyone that. It’s all a lie, and they know it, and they don’t care because truth is a bourgeois concept.

The point of it all is that it’s not argument but intimidation. They can’t win an argument. They can’t win the votes, not in Europe or Asia or South America or here. The liberal elite has failed to provide prosperity for anyone but themselves. The liberal elite has failed to provide peace for anyone but themselves – you don’t see a lot of them in uniform in Whocaresistan fighting the wars Bill Kristol advocated and Joe Biden voted for. The liberal elite provides only a system of interlocking and self-reinforcing grievances in which you, the Normals, are perpetually the oppressors, yet you’re the only ones being oppressed. No one wants that, except the SJWs who find meaning in fussy social media hate-mobs, so they try to jam their garbage ideology down your throat by threatening to kick you off Twitter, or by making it so you lose your job, or by preventing you from going out and eating tacos in peace, or by calling you all sorts of names ending with -ist and -phobe.

These are not the actions of winners. These are the actions of losers who see their power slipping away and will do anything to keep it.

Anything.

Yes, including violence. Just last weekend, we saw conservative reporter Andy Ngo sent to the hospital after being attacked by leftist thugs. There was no outcry in the mainstream media over it just as there is no outcry over “deplatforming,” censorship and cultural intimidation. No Dem candidate condemned it except Andrew Yang – a suck-up to the Chinese commies is that garbage party’s only free speech advocate. Irony lives!

There was no condemnation because the liberal elite supports the censorship, intimidation and violence. Liberals actively support you being kept from expressing dissenting views, whether by threats, abuse or force. If they could have you arrested for wrongthink they would – they do in the UK, where a mean tweet can get you nicked.

They are actively for censorship, oppression and violence, and they will do more of it if they can.

They have to. It’s their only hope for keeping control.

Moreover, the logic of their pathological lies demands it. If the roughly 50% of Americans who supported Donald Trump really are vicious racist monsters who wish to establish a theological Dickensian dictatorship that’s part Handmaid’s Tale with a dash of Hunger Games and a heapin’ helpin’ of Putin, isn’t violence justified, even mandatory?

Leftists around the world throughout history have gone that way – they decided that the problem of dissenters could best be solved by solving the dissenters.

Permanently.

Get woke to what’s happening. It’s going to get worse and more intense as we run up the score restoring freedom. We can’t let them win. We can’t submit to their permanent SJW dictatorship. Demand your elected representatives regulate ruthlessly – when these leftist bastards decide you can’t knit anymore because you want to make America great again, that’s a stitch too far. Litigate. In many states (like my own, California), political discrimination is just as sue-worthy as racial discrimination. If your state isn’t on board, get your reps working on it. And buy guns and ammunition to create the armed citizenry that forms a deterrent to those who would attempt to impose tyranny. Let’s not let them talk themselves into starting (and losing) another civil war. Remember – anyone who wants you disarmed wants you defenseless, and no one who wants you defenseless wants it because it’s good for you.

Most importantly, stay woke and stay militant. This is your country. This is your future. And you have to make a choice – live as a free American citizen who can think, say and do whatever he damn well pleases, or become a serf who endures a perpetual nightmare of escalating intersectional oppression and eventually grows to love Big X-other.

Choose wisely.

Want a preview of the dystopian world liberals want? Check out my action-packed yet super-snarky novels about the United States’ split into red and blue countries,  People's RepublicIndian Country and Wildfire. Liberals and the sad Loser Boat crew from the failed Weekly Standard called them “Appalling,” so get these books before they’re banned. No, really – choose to get them before they’re banned.
