I’m beginning to realize how my grandparents must have felt,
watching the world rapidly changing before their eyes.
Not just the altered world due to changing technology, but
the ground swell of misinformed ideology that led to the rise of the Fascism
and the Soviet State, often espoused by otherwise well-meaning people who
mistakenly believe they can alter basic human nature and somehow force people
to be fair in a world where fairness doesn’t exist.
Then, like now, such movements require scapegoats, someone
or some group that these so-called progressives must blame for the ills of the
world – back then, the robber barons who built the nation on the spine of
railroads, and now, the oil cartels that keep the engines of the world
operating.
Ironically, the antisemitism we thought long dead has been
resurrected by a new generation, threatening to bring back the horrors of the Holocaust.
Mainstream media such as The New York Times, the Washington
Post and those horrible bigots at MSNBC seem to be complicit in this charade,
reverting to the Orwellian concept of propaganda that tells us white is black,
good is evil, and such, often relying for their information on the same
terrorists who murder and rape Israelis, and then play the role of victim when
the Israelis strike back.
We get streams of video feed showing hungry Palistinian
children starving, while kept in the dark about the terrorists who use them as
human shields, leaving the usual do-gooders to moan and groan about how hateful
Israelis are, and reformatting the concept of Genocide to use as a label on all
Jews.
We have a radical mayor in Los Angeles with ties to former
domestic terrorists allowing the more violent of these so-called do-gooders burn
down what is left of that west coast city (after the mayor played Nero and
fiddled while wild fires consumed the rest).
Now, it is New York City’s turn to elect a radical mayor,
someone so full of hate even the Democrats are fearful he might actually get elected
– much in the way those who supported a Democratic Germany were fearful at Hitler’s
rise to power.
This is not an exaggeration. Los Angels, Boston,
Philadelphia and other urban centers are embracing a hateful ideology while
claiming it is not.
Young people, brainwashed in colleges such as Columbia and
Harvard, appear to be embracing this race-based hate in much the way Hitler Youth
did a century ago.
While I am tempted to tell them to elect this racist to
further damage a city nearly brought to its needs by former Mayor De Blazio, history
tells me that if we let this radical rise to power, we might not be able to
stop him later as more and more foolhardy and ignorant young people flock to
his hateful banner.
More terrifying is the idea that these young people are so
thoroughly brain dead that they really do want to elect someone like this, the
way Germans embraced Hitler and allowed him to perform all the atrocities he
engaged in, and not merely against Jews.
As others have pointed out before me, when they came for
those people, we did nothing, and then there was nobody left to help us when
they came for us.
