In 2004 Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger warned against the pathological hatred the West feels toward itself. He pointed out that, to survive, Europe (and the USA) needs to accept itself, without dissolving into a multiculturalism that is often merely an escape from itself. Miguel Angel Quintana Paz on X
Over on X, NOBUNAGA, a Japanese man wrote that watching our midterm results broke his heart. Republicans lost ground. A wave of Muslim and radical leftists just won seats across your country.
Since Tuesday, my American friends keep asking me the same question.
How did Japan stay Japan?
In Tokyo, trains leave on the exact second.
Leave your phone on a cafe table, and it is still waiting an hour later. Every year, people in Tokyo turn in over 4 billion yen in lost cash to the police.
We didn’t keep this by accident.
When warships forced Japan open in 1853, our ancestors made a vow. Japanese spirit, Western technique.
Take the steel, the railways, and the factories. Leave the self-hatred at the dock.
After 1945, –leftists tried to make us hate our history. We refused.
We never let guilt become a state religion the way your universities did. Nobody taught our kids that our ancestors were evil, or that the family was a crime.
While Japanese refused to give into self-hatred, ruling class Western Europeans and Americans drank deeply of the cup of self-hatred, and seek the destruction of Western and American civilization. Western and American civilizations are evil and must be destroyed. Already, W.Europe is on fire. End
Birth of SelfHatred Here in the USA
Self-hatred did not spring out of the ground. It was deliberately brought into W. Europe and the USA by the Frankfurt School, the devil’s playground.
Brief Historic Timeline
In anticipation of the revolutionary storm that would baptize the world in an inferno of red terror, leading to its rebirth as the promised land of social justice and proletarian equality – Frederich Engels wrote,
“All the…large and small nationalities are destined to perish…in the revolutionary world storm... (A general war will) wipe out all…nations, down to their very names. The next world war will result in the disappearance from the face of the earth not only reactionary classes…but…reactionary peoples.” (“The Magyar Struggle,” Neue Rheinische Zeitung, Jan. 13, 1849)
By the end of WWI, socialists realized something was amiss, for the world’s proletariat had not heeded Marx’s call to rise up in opposition to evil capitalism and embrace communism instead. They wondered what had gone wrong.
Separately, two Marxist theorists-Antonio Gramsci of Italy and Georg Lukacs of Hungary-concluded that the Christianized West was the obstacle standing in the way of a communist new world order. The West would have to be conquered and deChristianized first.
Gramsci posited that because Christianity had been dominant in the West for over 2000 years, not only was it fused with Western civilization, but it had corrupted the workers class. The West would have to be de-Christianized, said Gramsci, by means of a “long march through the culture.” Additionally, a new revolutionary proletariat must be created. In his “Prison Notebooks,” he suggested the new revolutionaries be comprised of criminals, man-hating feminists, racial minorities, and homosexuals. Today, Islamists and immigrants hostile to our homeland comprise a large part of the new proletariat.
The new battleground, reasoned Gramsci, must become the culture, starting with the traditional family and completely engulfing churches, seminaries, schools, media, music, entertainment, civic organizations, literature, science, and history. All of these institutions must be radically transformed and the social and cultural order gradually turned upside-down with the new empowered proletariat placed in power at the top with disempowered W. Europeans and Americans at the bottom.
Birth of the Devil’s Playground
In 1923, the Frankfurt School—a Marxist think-tank—-was founded in Weimar Germany. Among its founders were Georg Lukacs, Herbert Marcuse, and Theodor Adorno. The school was a multidisciplinary effort which included sociologists, sexologists, and psychologists.
The primary goal of the Frankfurt School was translation of Marxism from economic terms into cultural terms. It would provide the poisoned ideas on which to base a new political theory of revolution based on culture and harnessing new oppressed groups for the new proletariat. Smashing religion, morals, it would recast the West and America into evil civilizations worthy of hatred and destruction. This would appeal to left-leaning academics who could build careers studying and writing about the need to hate for Americans to hate ourselves, especially white men, and our homeland.
Toward this end, Marcuse-who favored polymorphous perversion-expanded the ranks of Gramsci’s new proletariat by including homosexuals, lesbians, and transsexuals. Into this was spliced Lukacs obscene sex education and cultural terrorism tactics. Gramsci’s ‘long march’ was added to the mix, and then all of this was wedded to Freudian psychoanalysis and psychological conditioning techniques. The end product was Cultural Marxism, now known in the West as multiculturalism and Woke.
Additional intellectual firepower was required: a theory to pathologize what was to be destroyed. In 1950, the Frankfurt School augmented Cultural Marxism with Theodor Adorno’s idea of the ‘authoritarian personality.’ This concept is premised on the notion that Christianity, free market, conservatism, and the traditional family create a character prone to racism and fascism. Thus, anyone who upholds America’s traditional moral values and institutions is both racist and fascist. Children raised by traditional values parents, we are told to believe, will almost certainly become racists and fascists. By extension, if fascism and racism are endemic to America’s traditional culture, then everyone raised in the traditions of God, family, patriotism, gun ownership, or free markets is in need of psychological help.
The pernicious influence of Adorno’s ‘authoritarian personality’ idea can be clearly seen in some of the research that since 2003 receives public money.
“In Aug., 2003, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced the results of their $1.2 million tax-payer funded study. It stated, essentially, that traditionalists are mentally disturbed. Scholars from the Universities of Maryland, California at Berkeley, and Stanford had determined that social conservatives…suffer from ‘mental rigidity, dogmatism, and uncertainty avoidance,’ together with associated indicators for mental illness.“Social and Emotional Learning edwatch org, Jan. 26, 2005)
The Orwellian cast of pathologies named shows how far Gramsci’s long march has led us and why so many psychologically conditioned Americans, men in particular, hate themselves and our homeland and won’t defend it.
