Anyone who justifies harming the innocent as an excess of justified protest is neither advanced nor enlightened

Let's talk about world facilities, human rights, including progressive types who drink coffee with soy milk, wear linen and justify violence in the name of a just revolution. Thanks to globalization and social networks, we got a real-time glimpse into the postmodern neo-Marxist worldview in action. 

From "Do the Right Thing" (1989)

So let's talk about blindness. Let's talk about moral distortion. America is still bubbling. After the justified protest phase, and after the looting and destruction, and after the shoe licking and the layoffs that did not rush into the code, we reached the brick-beating stage in the street. Viral videos flood the network. Blacks beat whites. Some are videos uploaded from the OB but some are real painful. The reaction from the left ranged from "Exclude, this is random violence" to the justification of the beatings, claiming that the horror video collaborators were racist. 

It is impossible to deny racism or discrimination or the fact that the black community in the United States is distressed, both by the establishment and by a systemic community failure, but must not be resisted when legitimate protest becomes indiscriminate violence and censure. 

One must not resist when the Black Lives Matter movement threatens freedom of speech and demands to turn the US into a communist dystopia, not to mention that they oppose the existence of the State of Israel. To the right. 

Progressiveness is a twisted discourse that has taken over the left, whereby there is no "absolute justice" except in the case of conflict between the West and the Third World or representatives of the Third World in the West. According to the left's view justice is always with the weak, the poor, the savage. There is a reaction here to the colonialist view that identified justice with enlightenment and correspondence with Russo's noble savage in the seasoning of Edward Said's Orientalism. This time, the weak and the ignorant is also the oppressed, who stands fiercely against his contempt and culture on the strong side and therefore all his actions must be accepted. 

To me, this view has more than a hint of racism. Because they should not be expected of normative behavior. Accepting violence as requested is racism of low expectations. This is true in America, it is also true in Israel. Anyone who justifies violent protest and harm to the innocent as an excess of justified protest is not progressing or enlightened. No wrongdoing is being done.

The current madness reminded me of a story from Stalin's bio. Edward Radzinski, the biographer, tells of the huge statue of Stalin on the bank of the Volga-Don Canal - one of many monuments built by his inmates. One morning, the sculptor was startled when he discovered that migratory birds had begun to nest on his huge steel head. As you know, birds cannot be punished, but humans can. Fear is the mother of invention, and the local authority, which has been scared to death, has delivered a high voltage current at the head of the giant statue. 

From that time, the statue was surrounded by a carpet of dead birds. And so every morning a grave that oversees the dead poultry carpeting, and the soil that received fine organic fertilizer, the flowers grow abundantly. "The sculpture, free of bird droppings, looked into the great expanse beyond the Volga, not in the carcasses of bird carcasses, but in humans who built the Great Canal and are now resting in unmarked tombs," Radzinski wrote (transl. This is revolutionary Marxism with the scent of perverseness. Beneath the beautiful words and impressive monuments lie bodies. 

Stalin was a massacre of millions. But the left in the Western world did everything to avoid hearing it. In all Western universities, the sun was worshiped. True to their prophet Karl Marx, who said: "Revolution is like a midwife - creates a new class and her hands are bloodied."

In Israel, the grotesque was raging too. Abraham Shlonsky developed Marx's midwife abomination to say: "Revolution is the surgeon of history! Surgeon's hands are also bloodied - but it is the blood of salvation, the blood of salvation." Later, kibbutzim split in admiration of the Georgian tyrant. The Israeli left, like its overseas counterparts, has in its past carried the stain in support of the Tzar, without a real-time criticism of the murder of tens of millions. Another proof of the macabre irony in the face of the pretense of putting human equality at the center of the new religion. Equality of misery. 

In the essay "The Guide to Political Neuroses", thinker Arthur Castler gave signs to the West left that some would recognize them in the third decade of the 21st century. The left, diagnosed by Castler, suffers from an exotic mental disorder, a combination of political nymphomaniac and masochism. "Self-hatred and his desire for self-punishment has become a hatred for his country and social status. He longs for a whip to whip them." 

The Western left will protest against the West with holy rage and in the same breath will condemn all the heinous crimes committed by the other side. Once it was the Soviets, once it was a just cause for the fight against racism. The goals are always right and always flying chips that hurt the innocent. 

Western democracy, thanks to individual liberty, freedom of speech and free market, is supposed to be the best remedy against revolutionary destructive radicalism. But now Google in the picture. And Google censors. 

Last Wednesday, Tucker Carlson, a presenter at Fox, revealed the power of Google. Carlson can because Fox News is an independent company that is independent of the company that controls 70 percent of online advertising. In the news business when Google tells you to do something, you do. 

Carlson told how NBC News used Google to hurt the competition. The Web worker, Adele-Momoko Fraser, gave Google executives a screenshot from a group of British left-wing activists denouncing two conservative sites, ZeroHedge and the Federalist, as "racists." Google has eaten the bait and threatened to remove it from its ad platform. That is, eliminate them. 

Adele-Momoko Fraser tweeted a victory over the censorship and eventually thanked activists who helped silence competing views "for their hard work and cooperation!" With the check - #BlackLives and three punches raised at the end. 

And what was the sin of the news sites? The answer Carlson got from Google was that they allowed uncensored talkbacks. In other words, readers get to say what they want. Google found this unbearable. The "Federalist" surrendered and removed the possibility of reader reaction. ZeroHedge does not. The chance of it going to zero. 

And note the irony, Google itself is entitled to Section 230 of the Communications Fairness Act which exempts it from the content liability on its platform. 

You have to wake up.
