The Worst Lie Is a Half-truth - Ed Hurst - 11-26-2021
Okay, so maybe you've read Brandon Smith's stuff before (look up alt-market). I've referred to it from time to time. His latest is quite popular: What Is the Relationship Between the Political Left and Globalism?
It's only half true. You'll notice that he suggests that the globalist-left is trying to destroy Western Civilization. No, they are Western Civilization, in the sense that they represent the final end of what Western Civilization is and does. Their agenda is at the root of Western identity. It starts out with men striving to satisfy the idolatrous demands of the Mother Earth worshipers. Eventually they can't do enough, and collapse exhausted while the demonic feminists take over.
Granted, on the fleshly level, the solution would be to separate between left and right at the very least. But the left are not another kind of people. Whatever majority right-wing society that pulls away from the globalist-left still carries the same seeds of destruction. It will happen again and again; it's rooted in fallen human nature. The only solution is to forsake the West altogether, along with her child, the Networked Civilization.

The language we're left (heh) with in liberal democracies don't account for different conceptions of liberal democracies itself. No one believes in democracy except when it's their version of democracy. This might work in non-diverse societies, but in "nations" with large groups of very different ideas (America), democracy evolves into power/money grabs. Maybe Smith knows this implicitly, but he's writing as if the "other" of the SJW left isn't an outcome of a demographically diverse democratic system. It was inevitable.
