Self-Destruction

Victor Davis Hanson delivers an almighty spanking on America’s well-deserving backside:

Our enemies abroad, particularly China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia, are watching all this woke, comic madness with absolute glee.

They are delighted the United States is diverting trillions of dollars and man-hours away from production to ideological witch hunts, woke cannibalism, green virtue-signaling, spendthrift consumption, racial and gender fixations, warped science, suicidal surveillance, and commissariat indoctrination.

Woke means that Americans have less money, labor, and time to hone their military readiness. They will produce less competitive energy, but more pseudo-science, non-meritocratic advancement, and unsound investment—all the reasons why America will no longer dominate the world.

As with all VDH’s musings, you must read them all.

  1. People with purple hair and comic book pictures all over their bodies scream like children while the people in charge shun their responsibilities while collecting huge paychecks and in spite of all of this nonsense the rest of us are just trying to pay our bills and stay out of the way of the looming danger everywhere.

    Good times make weak men but as swings the pendulum bad times make strong men. This too will pass and if you stay focused on your goals and do your best to ignore the insanity all around you will be one of those hard men.

    1. Yes, it too shall pass, but we must remember. Remember to NEVER allow this to happen again, allow those who fostered this albatross around our necks to feel the pain they rot. Embarrass the enablers that ‘went along for the common good’ to face the scorn, laughter, and humiliation than they so purposely reveled in trumpeting.

      And, let us not forget or media – self-proclaimed bastions of truth, justice, and the American Way. They too should feel the scorn, ridicule, and the repercussions of their outright lies and falsehoods. Never again to hold their heraldic positions, holding sway on the power-masters, and in lock step in the countries destruction.

      Never again…

  3. Far be it from to correct someone like him, but:

    “Our enemies abroad, particularly China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia, are funding all this woke, comic madness with absolute glee.”

    Well, North Korea may not actually be funding it as they have nothing to fund with, but if they could…

    1. The funding is done with the permission of, and the grifting to, the US politicians. 537 sets of stocks need to be set up around the Reflecting Pond and used extensively.

  4. The threat of the external enemy serves our internal enemies.

    Let me say that again slowly, because it was true in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam and the GWOT.

    THE THREAT OF THE EXTERNAL ENEMY SERVES OUR INTERNAL ENEMIES.

    Dealing with our external enemies demands a level of unity that can only be achieved on terms set by our domestic enemies, for unity on their terms is the only thing they will allow.

    And we, like suckers, fall for it every time. If you’ve studied history, especially the early 20th century when Woodrow Wilson was laying down the keel for the Post Constititional Order, and FDR was building out the blueprints, they never would have gotten away with it but for WWI & WWII.

    What was the definition of insanity again? Doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome?

    1. To be specific, they never would have gotten away with it as a result of our complicity in that hostilities were suspended and differences swept under the carpet due to WW I & II.

      The pattern was so successful that I have little doubt it’s now an intentional feature of the plan.
