In the former case they portray all black failure as the result of white people, and as white people (BLM has blacks in it, but the leadership I am very sure is saturated with white radicals) they claim to be able to rectify all these failures for the black people. They perpetrate, in other words, the crimes alleged in their own narrative. They teach blacks to fail, while blaming everyone but themselves when it happens.
In the Vietnam War, we were helping South Vietnam protect itself from a North Vietnamese invasion. That is the historical fact.
We were, in other words, fighting alongside “brown men” who were being attacked by other “brown men”. We were fighting with a nation which improved a lot while we were there–including the extensive land reform which had long been demanded–against a totalitarian state where disobedience often meant instant death, or slow death through the exhaustion of a work camp.
But the war was portrayed as one of white men against the “brown man”. And the white radicals wanted to punish their fellow whites for their racism and imperialism. So they created the political climate in which a war which had already been won–where a peace treaty was already signed, and fighting ended–was lost in the end, due solely to our abandonment of South Vietnam.
Ultimately, millions of people died. Many tens of thousands of boat people, just from Vietnam died. Perhaps two hundred thousand South Vietnamese were summarily executed. Hundreds of thousands of families were broken apart, their homes and possessions confiscated, and many wives never saw their husbands again, or either their children, who were often sent to brainwashing camps.
And the Khmer Rouge–who long, long predated the militarily necessary bombings in Cambodia–most likely would not have won, had we not abandoned the Cambodian government entirely. You know, to keep white people from killing brown people.
That abandonment led to one of the most horrific genocides on record, where large numbers of people were literally tortured to death, dozens every day in de facto dungeons all over Cambodia. The death toll was up to perhaps a third of the population, which percentage wise dwarfs the Holocaust.
Yet somehow, through these enormous failures which would cause any person possessing an authentic conscience to feel terrible pangs of remorse and regret, the radical whites continued to believe in their own moral superiority, the necessity of their subversive efforts, and continued to believe that winning Communist control in this county would do anything different than what happened everywhere else.
You cannot not be borderline clinically schizophrenic and believe these fantasies. Yet, believed they are, by many people who are shaping the views of our young.
It’s a bit like watching a horror movie. You know it will not end well, but it is hard to know what to do. Delusion and vanity are powerful emotions.
