Modern liberalism cannot be compared with the
classical liberalism of yesteryear, the description of which was stolen for
propaganda purposes. Classical liberalism meant a belief in the democratic
process, freedom of the press, freedom of expression, equality under the law,
small government, the individual before the collective, religious freedom, an
obligation to help the genuinely disadvantaged in society and, generally speaking,
a live and let live laissez-faire attitude.
How does this square with the self-proclaimed
metropolitan, progressive liberal of today? Imagine the smooth young executive
hosting a dinner party, suddenly announcing to his Armani-clad coterie of media
and public relations friends that, whilst holding himself up as a liberal, he
disapproved of mass immigration, multiculturalism, state education’s socialist
propaganda, the European Union, same-sex marriage, homosexual marriage/adoption
and feminism.
No doubt he would be accused of racial bigotry, sexual
bigotry, nationalism, religious fundamentalism and xenophobia. Yet whilst these
proud young members of the privileged and cosseted elite may believe that they
and they alone hold the moral credentials that personify the term liberal, they
fail to understand that all their beliefs are the antithesis of true liberalism
and that they have followed a long and winding path from the classical
liberalism of 1900 to that which they are today – totalitarian and fascistic.
In short they have mutated from classical liberalism to politically correct,
progressive liberalism.
We see this in their extreme and hysterical reaction
to those who disagree with them; their apparent hatred of Western civilisation;
of Israel and America; of free speech; traditional education; religion (or at
least the Christian religion) and a hatred of our history and the leaders who
helped make us what we are. And whilst they are busy hating the very society
and culture that enables them to survive and prosper, we see their love affair
with all the ideologies that threaten our society manifested in advocacy of
Third World immigration, multiculturalism, radical feminism, socialism/
communism and of course, Islam.
Progressive liberalism has unconsciously absorbed the
warped policies of the hard-left, who have dressed up their ambition of Western
societal destruction with caring words such as inclusion, tolerance, equality
and diversity, whilst expressions of defensive patriotism are twisted into the
newly manufactured hate words of racist, xenophobe, Islamophobe and nationalist.
Progressive liberalism thus promotes mass immigration
coupled with the perverse idea that the new arrivals need not owe their loyalty
to their new country, whilst any attempt by the native population to resist is
to be countered by brainwashing and criminalisation. Progressive liberalism as
a result is often described as suicidal, but this is an incorrect description
because our liberal rulers never asked their electorates if they wished to
import Islam s youth bulge into their towns and cities.
A far better term for progressive liberalism would be “murderous”
rather than suicidal. A small clique of hard-left socialists persist in their
murderous destruction of Western civilisation, allied with naïve, Useful Idiot
liberals who have yet to remove their blinkers of ignorance. They are joined by
incredulous Islamists who simply cannot believe their luck as they gratefully
climb into the Trojan Horse so thoughtfully hand-made for them by progressive liberal
Western elites.
You can hate Islam and what it stands for. But they are who they are and do not – have never- pretended to be anything else. They follow a “desert warrior” can you blame them for doing as he did? Can you blame them for the beheadings, the child raping, etc. I say do not hate Islam, I pity those who live under it. I save the hate for the rich liberal traitor elite, who sooth their conscience by imposing on the rest of us. Getting bored of the environment and pandas and move onto LGBT, Black Lives Matter and Islam. But Islam is a different animal from traditional white guilt topics and what we do now will have very real and bloody consequences. When future generations look back to this era and the wars we will fight, will you blame them for shaking their heads and thinking, what the hell were these thinking?
ReplyDeleteAs always, you have captured the sorry state of current affairs with depressing clarity and accuracy. God help us! :(
ReplyDeleteI love your essays, written and video, but I would really love to see the written ones collected and organized into a book before any become somewhat outdated. I know you have quite a lot going on, but I hope you have someone available who could assist you with such a worthy project. Your book has already been written, my friend. What's needed is some final drafting, editing, and organizing (e.g., into subject areas). I should think that could be done in 30-60 days if you blew off some other less pressing engagements, or delegated some other work to those who can be trusted to get it done. "The Paul Weston Reader" would be a valuable addition to any patriot's library--here in the USA or there in Europe--and I look forward to pre-ordering an autographed copy in the not-too-distant future. :)
