“The dumbing-down of America is evident in the slow decay of substantive content, a ‘celebration of ignorance.’” ~ Sagan.
“DEI” is just the advanced stage of a much greater philosophical evil: “Forced Altruism.”
When our culture demands that personal “righteousness” be determined by confiscating our wealth and forcing us to abandon our cultural values (while getting nothing in return), individual initiative is suffocated.
We have lost equipotent institutional knowledge and replaced it with meaningless “certifications.” The honorable and productive among us, who watch so much of their wealth confiscated (and then recklessly squandered), are still mercilessly denigrated by leftists and perpetually accused of “not paying their fair share.”
Leftist politicians encourage us to think as groups (racial, religious, economic) rather than as Americans. They do this in order to pit one “group” against another. One “group” is told it is okay to plunder the next group, even physically harm the next group.
We’re mendaciously told, “They deserve it.”
What is incorrectly called “white privilege,” or any kind of “privilege,” is just the logical accumulation of a lifetime of effort, ethics, good choices, and elbow grease.
- You’re supposed to be “evil” because your parents made sure you did well in school and that you avoided bad habits and bad “friends.”
- You’re “evil” because you relentlessly studied/worked in college, trade school, and apprenticeships.
- You’re “vile” because you assumed personal responsibility for everything you did or failed to do, accepted logical consequences, and your personal philosophy has always been to under-promise and over-deliver.
Instead of sitting around and incessantly whining about the world being “unfair,” you got to work, produced, contributed, made yourself useful, and made a respectable life for yourself.
It’s not easy. It’s not supposed to be!
This “privilege,” so maligned by leftists, is actually what has sustained Western Civilization for centuries.
It should be acclaimed and applauded as the Core of our culture!

It has been a lifelong honor to serve my country my entire adult life to this point! When that crap began to infiltrate common sense, I recognized it for what it was, a blatant attempt to subvert the underpinning of our multicultural society. Only then did I lose faith in my leaders because they had become afraid to tell their political asshats to Fuck Off! Now, they ALL need to be replaced by REAL MEN AND WOMEN patriots who NEVER bought into this lie! God Bless America…if you don’t love it, you are free to leave!
This is the best article that I have read here in a very long time.
Cultural Marxism. A product of the Frankfurt School. If you cannot destroy a civilization by force of violence destroy it by rotting the institutions of the civilization. Judeo-Christian based Western Civilization is the target because it is that civilization, based upon those principles that pose the greatest threat to wanna-be totalitarians. That is why Islamic civilization, if you use the term loosely is not a target. it does not liberate the individual nor does it restrain institutions of power. For a great teach on the issue search up Dr Lance Wallnau and listen to his teach on the Seven Mountains… Read more »
John, the “privliege” you have defined isn’t what is being spoken about, as such. You outlined the ideals, mindset, and dedication of the individual which are all things within our control and anyone can overcome the most weighted of upbringing to rise above it if they so choose. However, the “privilege” being much maligned these days is based on what is beyond our control such as our sex or our race. This “privilege” is the one we are being told we should be ashamed of. We are being told we are somehow responsible for the interaction and treatment by others… Read more »
Multiculturalism is the highway to Balkanization.
But the beatings will continue until morale improves. Good article, John.
