Now I’m desperate to know what culture has normalized girls pursuing boys with lewd comments and douchebag behavior.

Does anybody have any ideas? It’s news to me that such a culture exists.

It’s admirable that Mikhail Veller, a Jew, makes the responsibility of Jews for the catastrophe of wokeness very clear in his novel. Soviet Jews are the only Jews in America and Canada who reliably vote for the Right but that’s not an excuse to avoid talking about responsibility and complicity.

Of course, as I keep reading it has become obvious that not only can’t an American write something like this, it’s hard to imagine an American even reading the novel and not perishing of guilt and PC scruples by chapter six.

The professor learned absolutely nothing. He is still using DEI arguments to debate DEI.

I used GT to translate one of the chapters of Veller’s novel. It is titled “History 1619.” The leftist ideology has triumphed, and this is a school lesson in history that is being taught after the decisive victory of the left. I will put most of the chapter under the fold to avoid cluttering the feed. Press page 2 under the text to see the rest of the chapter.

Chapter 37

HISTORY-1619

— So, in our last lesson we talked about the discovery and development of America by Africans. Aina, how did this happen?

— America was discovered by the Vikings. It was in the third century AH. Europe was still barbaric. But sailors from Africa had already sailed around Europe. They had settlements even in the north. There were few Africans, and they took local whites with them on their voyages. One such expedition, led by an African captain, reached the shores of America.

— Well done, Ilfat! And what happened next?

— Then the whites who had sailed to America began to destroy the native Americans. And the Africans stood up for them. But there were more whites, and they killed all the Africans. Then the native Americans avenged the Africans and killed all the whites.

— So sadly, children, the first discovery of America by our ancestors ended. Well, what happened next? Who knows?

— Me!

— I know you know. Kwabena! Stop smoking in the classroom! Did you hear the question?

– I heard everything!..

– So answer.

– What? – What happened after the first discoverers of America died?

I first discovered the concept of a nation-state when I was starting my Master’s degree in Canada. I’m talking, of course, not about “a country” but specifically the way of being a country that is a nation-state. That it needs a group of people to come together and articulate what the “we” inhabiting it is like. And rewrite the history to make the “we” either eternal or necessary. And create a canon of artists, statesmen and achievements that justify the “we” and make the artificiality of the nation unimportant. I had left Ukraine which was clearly failing its historic chance of nation-building. Today, there’s not a person in Ukraine who doesn’t agree that this crucial work wasn’t done, and we are now seeing the tragic results of that.

Overjoyed by my discoveries as all young graduate students are, I started bugging every Canadian in sight with questions about what the Canadian national identity is. What I discovered was that people couldn’t come up with anything that didn’t involve references to the US. “We are not the US” is the underpinning of the Canadian identity, which means there is no identity. If you ask me to tell you about myself and I explain that I’m nothing like my colleague Heidy, you’ll think I’m a weirdo with no personality.

Canada has a lot of material for its nation-building. The two cultures of the Anglos and the Gauls are a great basis for identity. The Nordic nature. When Spain lost its colonies, it built a whole identity from the barren landscape of Castile. The Spanish identity isn’t “we are not the French.”

Canada has a fascinating literature but try finding it at a Canadian bookstore. I regularly engage in this exercise and it’s back-breaking work because there are no aisles called “national literature.” Canadian books are diluted by the sea of American lit that is, understandably, more vast. It doesn’t occur to anybody that people should have a chance to go to the store and find their national literature without tons of additional effort.

The important events of Canadian history have all been shat on. All that people are told about their history is how bad it was. Imaginary genocides are promoted while real achievements are never discussed.

Ask a Spaniard what the Spanish identity is, and you’ll immediately hear about the greatness of the Spanish language, how Spain got half of the world to speak its language, how Cervantes, and how Lope, and how Calderón. Ask a Frenchman , and you’ll hear about the Republic and laicisme and Enlightened philosophers. Ask an American , and you’ll hear about “the land of the free and the home of the brave”. Ask a Canadian, and the first thing you hear is “unlike Americans, we have free healthcare”, the emphasis being on “unlike Americans ” because even Cuba has free healthcare and what a big whoop that is.

Cubans, by the way, spent a century thinking about their national identity. The Caliban, sugar versus tobacco and what that symbolizes. Then, they ditched all that and took the road of “we are not Americans”, and we see where that led them.

The sad reality that a crucial Canadian election became about Trump should be a wake-up call. Liberal, conservative, or NDP, any Canadian should be unhappy with this fact. If you don’t want to be a 51st state – and you absolutely shouldn’t want it – don’t act like one. Don’t vote for or against Trump. Vote for your own nation but first figure out what it actually is.

I’m so sad, people. I have family in Canada. This is heartbreaking. Canada had a historic chance and pissed it away because of its perennial inferiority complex towards Americans.

Weak, careless, unserious nation-building always leads to this. Let this be a lesson for all of us. If you don’t know who the beaver’s tail you are beyond “I’m not that dude”, you will be had every way from Saskatoon and back again.

Really? There are results already in the Canadian election? It’s so bad that nothing beyond Ontario and Quebec needs to be counted?

This sucks absolute bullets. What have you done, Canada? What have you done?

So, Canadians, are you ready for another lockdown? Maybe get up to three years locked indoors this time around.

The reason why Americans decided that they won the Cold War is that their leadership’s brains were infected with Marxism.

The central idea of Marxism is that economic considerations are the most important. Capital – das Kapital – is at the bottom of everything. Your manner of relating to property and means of production defines everything about you. This means that the concept of “cultural Marxism” was invented by somebody who is a brainless twat but whatever. Marx believed that culture is the superstructure and the economy is the basis. In simple terms, culture will be whatever is convenient to the capital.

In reality, Marx was wrong. The economic system of a country is just that, its economic system. It can make people happy or miserable but it has no impact on a country’s political system or international activities. In simpler terms, a sick murderous fuck remains a sick murderous fuck whether he’s rich or poor. No change in economic circumstances can transform him into anything other than a sick murderous fuck.

When the USSR changed its system of property management, US leadership decided that the sick murderous fuck would suddenly become sweet, kind, and normal. This is a typical Marxist mistake. It is at the core of open border policies because the theory is that if you place people from chaotic miserable societies in a rich country and ply them with cash handouts, they’ll magically stop being chaotic and creating misery. It doesn’t work either on a geopolitical or on an individual level.

Veller says that Russia is incapable of civilizational advances (a point that I’ve also made for years) and, as a result, will always be at war with the West. Or whomever has civilization if the West self-destructs, I want to add.

Only the extraordinary hubris of Western leaders convinces them, time and again, that Russia’s drive towards eternal war can be changed or softened by acting sweetly towards it.
