Many mosquali “right-leftists” and “trad” people alike enjoy promoting the idea that modern Shitlibbery is a direct descendant of the Liberalism which allegedly formed in 18th century Western Europe (much of “Liberalism” was essentially retconned into History. Most people writing about Liberalism didn’t give a shit about John Locke until, like, the 20th century or so I have heard). And while I don’t want to absolve 18th century Liberalism of responsibility, the only actual Liberals left are autistic reddit Neoliberals and people who consider themselves conservative or “classically liberal”. No left-wing Parties are operating on the same worldview as, say, John F. Kennedy or probably even Bill Clinton were.
Liberalism is, at its core, a Eurocentric ideology. While the archetypal Liberal is an egalitarian, he must acknowledge that European expansion across the world was a good thing because it spread Liberal democracy and things like the Scientific Revolution and ideas like “rights”. Liberals do not believe in things like “identity politics” and do not believe in discriminating against individuals or giving certain groups special privileges as “reparations”. Because Liberalism is the end of history and the greatest political machine mankind has ever invented, it should be able to mend the wounds of the past… eventually. The last of the Liberals, with the pressure from the first of the Shitlibs, floundered on these sort of tenets under the justification of “we’ll do affirmative action for a few decades, and then we won’t need it anymore!”
Of course, this is why Liberalism had to die. Because this doesn’t work. Not only are individual and group differences not mendable through the genius of Liberalism, but neither are they mendable through affirmative action or reparations. Instead, Liberalism had to be replaced by a system much more dedicated to a “forever war” against Western Civilization. There is no more *real* pursuit of racial equality since Shitlibs believe that all disparities between groups and individuals is evidence of oppression, and beyond that it is okay for certain groups to be strongly identarian because it is a way to empower themselves in the oppressive system which categorizes them in that allegedly socially constructed group. The implication here is that these identity groups are provisional, but in practice they have no intention of ever dissolving, because they have no intention of ever conceding that some of their problems are not the direct result of the White Cisheteronormative Patriarchy. Again, it is a forever war. A permanent revolution.
It all is mostly ideological window-dressing to justify identitarianism conditionally. Only White People view people as individuals, everyone else understandably understands the world in terms of groups. But its ideological basis is hardly Liberalism. If anything, it’s more like a chimera of Maoist anti-Imperialism and Western Marxism (maybe some Trotskyism?). The Soviets were also pushing this anti-Imperialist bullshit as well and were primarily the ones pushing it into America, but this was primarily in the 50s before the Sino-Soviet split. While the average Shitlib is not a Marxist, it is common enough among Social Scientists that Marxist constructs and models are fairly common in some areas of academia. The Civil Rights Movement was also essentially Communist. MLK was at the very least an ardent Social Democrat, and certainly had Communist sympathies. Rosa Parks was a trained Communist agitator. W.E.B. Du Bois was a Maoist. Malcolm X was generally Anti-Capitalist and was much more sympathetic to the Communist world than the West. The CPUSA collaborated with MLK and Rosa Parks’ Husband was a member. She herself regularly attended meetings with him.
Some of these ass-faced retard morons will respond with “OOOHHHHH!!! But errhh… WOKE MEANS TRANS CHILDREN DOE NOT EQUAL RIGHTS!!!” And to that I say, shit in your hand and jack off! Obviously the CRM was “patient zero” for everything else. Some people will say it was the Suffrage movement, but it really wasn’t. In a roundabout way you could say it was, since women began infiltrating academia and politics with retarded opinions, but the Suffragettes were more like these 33 year old overweight tradcath femcel old ladies who now haunt the intranet. They were extremely pro-prohibition.
But I digress. The point is, is that these Shitlibs are unlike liberals in the sense that they have created this massive web of quasi-marxist academic filler to justify a permanently anti-White society. White people and Whiteness must be destroyed, but Black people and Blackness must be celebrated, but only because White people are oppressing them, but there is no scenario in which White people are not negatively influencing Black people. Now, extrapolate this to basically every non-White race and also for Homosexuals. This is much more similar to the anti-colonial Nationalism of turd worldist countries during the Cold War than it is to Liberalism proper. It is also somewhat similar to the shitty treatment of successful private farmers in the Soviet Union. It was a very similar thought pattern. “These farmers are successful. Let’s take their stuff to even the playing fields. If they are still successful afterwards, we’ll take even more of their stuff because the only way they have so much stuff is if they’re oppressing and exploiting less fortunate workers”. Anyways, I am tired and must slep. I am not even gonna read through this. I am tired and sunburnt ok?
How are Shartlibs not the progeny of the Enlightenment tho
