Hit, rob, burn! New American tragedy
Street riots in the United States are gaining momentum. Protests filled with violence and looting are sweeping most states. Fear and loathing came not only to Las Vegas (hello Hunter Thompson), but also to hundreds of other cities.
Let me remind you that it all started with outrage over the murder of the black bouncer George Floyd by American cop Derek Chauvin, who paid at the store with a counterfeit check. But soon the struggle for the rights of blacks was forgotten and they were completely given over to the madness of destruction.
What's going on, as Marvin Gaye sang? And how does this ultimately threaten America?
It is clear that the protests are directed against Trump and want to aim for a coup. They are inspired, first of all, by democratic forces. They have long and effectively exploited the discontent of black Americans. The latter have been taught for decades to see whites as enemies. Back in 1988, for example, the iconic rappers Public Enemy sang, instructing their flock: “Fight the authorities!”
That is why American citizens today give in to the demons of protest with such ease. And it's not just blacks and low-income people, no. Everyone wants to have fun. After all, the basis of this “fun” is the seduction of permissiveness, when there is almost no punishment, when you can hide among the crowd.
But none of this would have happened if American demons had not sat so deeply. This enmity has very long-standing contradictions. And now they, like sinful bones, have been taken out. To turn the melting pot of the American dream into a blazing inferno.
Whites have been bullying blacks for a long time. As Louis Armstrong so succinctly noted: “I have a wonderful life in music, but I feel like any other Negro.” This was said in not so distant 1957, when racists in Little Rock opposed the co-education of whites and blacks. And black people remember all this very well.
Meanwhile, the matrix of the West is, in principle, based on the idea that God created the world for the strong, and therefore they can devour the weaker. And Western progress has largely been achieved through the exploitation of other races. I will quote the words of the enlightener Montesquieu, who in his famous treatise “On the Spirit of the Laws” sets out the absurd arguments of the supporters of slavery: “Sugar would be too expensive if the labor of slaves were not used. These slaves are black from head to toe, and their noses are so flat that it is almost impossible to feel pity for them. It is unthinkable that God, an exceptionally intelligent being, would put a soul, especially a good soul, into a completely black body.” A phrase that perfectly illustrates the Western idea of the caste world of slaves and masters.
Whites could not dominate forever. And it was necessary to unify the American Dream. After all, in many ways it no longer worked, and the sugary stories about the melting pot turned out to be fiction. They tried to eliminate the differences through tolerance. However, it gave a side effect. The oppressed became the oppressors, and the dictates of the majority turned into the dictates of the minorities.
The West today is partly moving along the path of South Africa, where the white population is in terrible conditions. Here is how literature professor Dan Roodt wrote about it in 2010: “Today our people, along with the rest of the white population of South Africa, have become victims of physical and cultural genocide. Over the past fifteen years, more than fifty thousand whites have been killed, over two hundred thousand of our women have been raped.” Racism, as we see, comes in different forms.
Of course, America will not fall apart after these riots. However, there will definitely be a redistribution of resources and priorities. But to do this, it is first necessary not so much to destroy as to discourage the old world. Which, in fact, is what we are seeing now. Not only in the USA.
