Progressives Deconstruct Western Culture and Civilization



There is a concerted effort by progressives in academia, media and politics to deconstruct Western culture and civilization. Their goal is to uplift lesser cultures at the expense of the successful. These proselytizers dismiss Western achievement through attribution of geography and fantasized contributions by hostile philosophies such as Islam.


Who are these proselytizers and where do they come from? Many are cosmopolitan/globalists who want to fundamentally transform the West, indeed the world, into a singular, borderless society. Many of these people come from the third-world and refuse to assimilate and accept the failures of their native countries. We see these attitudes in the halls of Congress by representatives such as Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. We also have representatives, who have the Latino-socialist mindset, that has doomed many a country into perpetual turmoil and poverty . Can anyone say Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Luis Gutierrez?


And what is their common refrain? Who are keeping these victims from achieving success? Why it’s the white-male patriarchy of course. According to these people, the American dream is an unobtainable fantasy. But, yet, I don’t see any of these complainers leaving. Don’t you find it amazing that former refugees had the wherewithal to leave their native countries to come to a bigger hellhole? I’m surprised they’re still here.


A perfect example of a third-world mentality is former president, Barack Hussein Obama. When the framers of our Constitution declared that only a native born citizen should hold the office of the presidency, they had this man in mind. Here is Article Two, Section One, Clause 5:


No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of the President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen years a Resident within the United States.



A natural born citizen is required only for the presidency and no other office. Why is that and what is a natural born citizen? Here is the very definition as written in Vattel’s Law of Nations and as adopted by the Framers:


§ 212. Citizens and natives.


The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.



Barack Hussein Obama’s father was a citizen of Kenya. Our former president adopted his father’s hostile behavior to the West. This man’s presidency was a testament to the deconstruction of American values. I am aware of no president who was as openly hostile to the American creed as this man, and this is due to the third-world mentality of his non-citizen father.


But the biggest purveyor of anti-Western philosophy and culture is in academia. There are professors who openly claim there’s no such thing as Western civilization and culture. A disproportionate come from third-world countries. Professor Kwame Anthony Appiah is one of them. His is a direct descendent of a warrior-emperor in pre-colonial Ghana. He has taught at many prestigious American universities. He wrote a lengthy column that was published in The Guardian entitled, There is No Such Thing as Western Civilisation. Here is an excerpt:


Someone asked Mahatma Gandhi what he thought of western civilisation, and he replied: “I think it would be a very good idea.” Like many of the best stories, alas, this one is probably apocryphal; but also like many of the best stories, it has survived because it has the flavour of truth. But my own response would have been very different: I think you should give up the very idea of western civilisation. It is at best the source of a great deal of confusion, at worst an obstacle to facing some of the great political challenges of our time. I hesitate to disagree with even the Gandhi of legend, but I believe western civilisation is not at all a good idea, and western culture is no improvement.


This written by a man who left Ghana and who now lives and prospers in the Western world. I wonder how well he’d do in his ancestral homeland had he went back and stayed. I guess we’ll never know.


And here is the blueprint for these cosmopolitan/globalists to delegitimize Western values and civilization:


Values aren’t a birthright: you need to keep caring about them. Living in the west, however you define it, being western, provides no guarantee that you will care about western civilisation. The values European humanists like to espouse belong just as easily to an African or an Asian who takes them up with enthusiasm as to a European. By that very logic, of course, they do not belong to a European who has not taken the trouble to understand and absorb them. The same, of course, is true in the other direction. The story of the golden nugget suggests that we cannot help caring about the traditions of “the west” because they are ours: in fact, the opposite is true. They are only ours if we care about them. A culture of liberty, tolerance, and rational inquiry: that would be a good idea. But these values represent choices to make, not tracks laid down by a western destiny.       


So there’s the plan, folks: the globalist are indoctrinating Westerners to not care or even think about our birthright. They want us to believe we are no different than any other civilization. And this will eventually happen with the importation of third-world invaders who believe they’re entitled to the riches of Western philosophy without assimilation. Afterall, diversity is the cornerstone of a well-adjusted civilization.
