What “Democracy And Liberty”? Across The West, Patriots Face Cultural Marxist Soft Totalitarianism

What “Democracy And Liberty”? Across The West, Patriots Face Cultural Marxist Soft Totalitarianism

James Kirkpatrick
July 9, 2017,

President Trump’s masterful speech in Warsaw has flushed out the journalists and far-Left activists (but I repeat myself) eager to see the West’s culture and people extinguished. This we are told that President Trump had said something “shocking” because he defined the West by heritage, culture and identity rather than by “democracy and liberty.” But what is this “democracy and liberty?” Increasingly, First World patriots face a Cultural Marxist soft totalitarianism.
  • Poland

The American Main Stream Media pathologizes Poland for being insufficiently “democratic”—by which they mean not sufficiently funding the unelected, far-Left Non-Governmental Organizations and not allowing anti-Polish voices to continue running the state media.
Whatever “democracy” means to the MSM, it’s doesn’t mean a government run by the people which follows the general will of a citizen electorate. Instead, “democracy,” today, means oligarchic rule by people who actively despise the citizens and whose primary policy goal is to deconstruct the nation.
  • Germany

In contrast, the MSM loves Angela Merkel’s Germany. Hamburg, host of the recent G20 meeting, was just torn apart by far-Left violence, with even recent Muslim migrants expressing their astonishment at activists deliberately destroying a once beautiful city. [Hamburg’s G20 rioters are ‘crazy’ in the eyes of Arab refugees, by Joseph Nasr, Reuters, July 9, 2017] But this shouldn’t be surprising; the German government has been repeatedly accused of funding the very “Antifa” groups that are launching violent attacks against police [Germany’s Secret Islamic Horror: How Blind Elites Are Destroying A Once-Great Nation, by Marc Geppert, Breitbart, July 18, 2016]. This includes using taxpayer funds to refurnish the headquarters of these far-Left, anti-German gangs, as well as giving them funds to carry out political action in defense of Open Borders [German city accused of funding left wing extremists, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, November 25, 2016].
And far from than cracking down on the far-Left and overtly anti-German groups, the German government recently announced it would seek to further muzzle patriots who criticize what is being done to their country. Merkel’s government passed a law which will fine social networking sites up to 50 million euros if “illegal content” is not removed within a week, including so-called “fake news.”
“Freedom of speech ends where the criminal law begins,” said Justice Minister Heiko Maas, in an utterly Orwellian statement [Germany passes law against online hate speech, by Frank Jordans, Associated Press, June 30, 2017]. The loathsome Maas is already on record as condemning any German resistance to their orchestrated dispossession by the occupation government, blasting even the moderate Alternative for Germany party as unacceptable.
  • Canada

Nor is Germany alone in draconian restrictions on free speech. Canada’s Senate recently passed Bill C-16, which includes “gender identity” and “gender expression” into the “Human Rights Code,” thus making it illegal to use the “wrong” gender pronouns [Canadians Could Face Hate Crimes Over Using The Wrong Gender Pronouns, by Rob Shimshock, Daily Caller, June 16, 2017]. Criticism of mass immigration can also put you in serious legal jeopardy in the Great White North.
Not surprisingly, this explicit repression of dissent allows the anti-white Canadian government to force through dramatic policy changes. As Faith Goldy recently documented,

Canada now has the fastest rate of ethnic change in the West, as Euro-Canadians are deliberately displaced in the country they created.
  • Britain

In the birthplace of Anglophone liberty, the British government has already acquired vast powers to spy on the Queen’s subjects and regulate speech—powers which Theresa May is looking to expand [After Terror Attacks, Britain Moves to Police the Web, by Mark Scott, New York Times, June 19, 2017]. Though these measures are justified in the name of preventing Islamic terrorism, they will actually be used to crack down even further on critics of Muslim immigration.
Britain is already under the rule of a “soft totalitarianism” where teachers and other government officials feel free to threaten anyone who merely makes a Politically Incorrect comment with legal sanctions. But as terrorism continues in the U.K. and the government refuses to permit discussion of the root causes, it appears likely this “soft totalitarianism” will be increasingly “hard.”
  • France

Free speech has long since vanished from the Fifth Republic. The iconic Brigitte Bardot has been repeatedly put on trial for criticizing the consequences of mass immigration. France is also joining forces with the United Kingdom to put pressure on social media companies to impose the same kinds of free speech regulations that exist in Germany—a kind of anti-free speech International [France and the UK consider fining social media companies over terrorist content, by Amar Toor, The Verge, June 13, 2017].
The new president, Emmanuel Macron, who appears utterly indifferent to the existence of the French nation, is promising a “Jupiterian” administration, almost a pseudo-monarchy, as well as sweeping reforms to the legislature which will increase his own power [In Sun King’s palace, Macron threatens to ram through parliament reform, by Ingrid Melander and Michael Rose, Reuters, July 3, 2017]. Imagine the screaming about an “attack on democracy” coming from the MSM if a President Marine Le Pen were making similar comments.
  • The U.S.A.

As shown by CNN’s doxing of a private citizen who shared a meme, American journalists now essentially function as commissars, policing what they believe are the legitimate boundaries of political speech. They also cheerlead repression of free speech abroad and hope it leads to de facto, if not de jure, regulations at home.
“It’s important to remember in this context that the U.S. is a free-speech outlier, embracing unfettered discourse in ways most countries — including free ones — consider mistaken and even wrongheaded,” Harvard Law professor Noah Feldman [Email him] wrote at Bloomberg the day before our Independence Day [For a more regulated Internet, thank Canada].
Feldman exults that the European crackdown on free speech may pressure companies to accept “Canadian or German guidelines,” including in America, because “Internet regulation has to be universal to work.”
“In this scenario, Canada really would rule the Internet, or at least the platforms we use to access it,” Feldman gloats. “Would that really be such a bad outcome?”
If you are Feldman and eagerly want to annihilate Western Culture and replace Europeans with Muslims —no, it’s not.
But if you are actually part of this civilization and have a stake in its continued existence, then yes, the eradication of free speech would be a “bad outcome.”
Many Americans, especially Establishment conservatives, seem clueless about how dire the situation really is. The increasingly insufferable Mitt Romney tweeted on July 4 that he was:

Romney’s “autocracy” word choice is presumably a dig at Trump: that is always what the MSM accuses him of, and Romney is incapable of thinking outside the frame that Leftist journalists set for him [Mitt Romney, “Conscious” Cuckservative, by Gregory Hood, Radix, June 27, 2016].
But really, Romney’s tweet reveals something more insidious. Outside the U.S., “independent speech” has already been abolished throughout much of the Western world by government fiat. Inside our own country, it is being effectively dismantled by ethnic lobbies and corporate collaborators. “Freedom of association” disappeared long ago in the Home of the Brave. And even “freedom of worship” is under attack, as your church, business or job can be destroyed instantly by a judge if you are targeted by a Leftist activist. [Here It Is: Complete Catalogue of ‘Same-Sex Marriage’ Violations of Faith, WND, September 1, 2016] (If you’re Christian, that is—strangely enough, Muslims are never targeted by these professional agitators).
So what is this “democracy and liberty” that supposedly defines the West? Western governments are replacing their own populations, destroying the prosperous nation-states bequeathed to us by our ancestors, and then criminalizing any dissent by whites against this state-sponsored genocide. To call this “freedom” is beyond obscene. It’s one of the most successful, if subtle, tyrannies in history, on the brink of extinguishing an entire civilization.
Indeed, when it comes to the issues that really matter, like immigration and national independence, it may be that Russia is more free than Western Europe.
There is no “free world.” And if it is the job of the U.S. to fight against “autocracy,” the city we need to be attacking isn’t Moscow, but Berlin.
