[...] and yet seem poised to make a sorry comeback once again. I’ve written about the “déjà-vu-all-over-again” phenomenon before in this space. Bill Ayers? Haven’t done that? Jeremiah Wright? [...]

Since the religion of tolerant egalitarianism will not fight and will not permit those under its thumb to fight for survival, I see only two possible outcomes for the West:
1) Submission to either Islam, or La Raza, or Black Liberation Theology, or all three: which means the extinction of the West as the West.
2) An internal revolt against the Left resulting in small fortress white republics.
Yes, terribly retrograde to boil it all down to race, but that’s what the West and its particular ideas and ideals is tied to — a particular race, the white race.
But have no fear, since the adherents of the ruling religion would rather die than be accused of racism, they’ll get their wish: they’ll die and we, their subjects, will too.

Part of the problem too is that many of the policy pronouncements made by “progressive” politicians can be more accurately described as tactics rather than an articulation of core values. Part of this can be seen with their infatuation with public transportation and their disdain for all the little peasants who commute in their cars from the suburbs. Remember court ordered school busing? The Wise decided that they would mandate a grand social experiment that would yield wonderful results because, after all, it was thought up by grand and wonderful people. Much to the chagrin of the Wise, the experiment was RUINED because the DAMN GUINEA PIGS FLED!

This has always vexed those inclined towards social engineering. The power of the peasants to “vote with their feet” is hated by those who have the hubris to believe that they can manage our lives better than we can. The iconic Berlin Wall is perhaps the best example of the depths to which the Wise will go to ensure the cooperation of the guinea pigs.

If you have to depend upon public transportation it really isn’t feasible to buy a house in the suburbs if there are no rail or bus lines that go out there. And who decides that? The Wise, elected or otherwise. The high energy costs of the present is not a “bug” to the so-called progressives, its a feature.

The Left began with an attack on the existing social order and the “possessing classes”, mutated into an attack on Western Civilization and is now mutating, through environmental fanatacism, into an attack on the species Homo sapiens.

The progression is clear. The next target will be all mammals.
