During the last ten years, numerous books have appeared advancing\nthe narrative of the \u201csuicide\u201d of some of the Western countries. In Germany,\nThilo Sarrazin wrote about how Germany is abolishing itself (Deutschland\nschafft sich ab<\/em><\/a>), and in France, even before Houellebecq’s Submission<\/em>\n(Soumission<\/em><\/a>),\nan important book by Eric Zemour, The Suicide of France<\/em> (Le Suicide fran\u00e7ais<\/em><\/a>),\nwas published. Similar endeavors can be found in the Anglo-American world,\nItalian culture, Hispanic studies, etc<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this that has been happening during the last months,\nespecially when it comes to vandal attacks on monuments, also speaks of how\nsome invisible force is systematically encouraging the continuation of this cultural\nsuicide. In Western countries, certain ideological groups are trying to erase\nnot only the places of memory and visible symbols of European and American\ngreatness, but to completely redefine the identity and self-understanding of Western\nEuropean man according to his role and task in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Western civilization (including Russia), over the past five\nhundred years, thanks to Christianity, has advanced vitality, entrepreneurship,\nresearch spirit, science, technology, extraordinary systems of organization\n(from the military and education to the economy), to almost every part of the\nplanet. During that period, of course, there were dark sides, such as the\nextermination of entire peoples (deliberate or unintentional), the plundering\nof resources and artistic heritage, the struggle for colonial advancement, and\nso on. But the fact is that the peoples of Europe managed to defend themselves\nfirst from the attacks of other civilizations on their own soil, and then to go\non and effectively rule the world. Generations of top military leaders,\nstrategists, inventors, geographical researchers, architects, biologists,\nanthropologists, economists, and entrepreneurs have expanded Western\ndomination, bringing with them the most modern achievements of civilization\nwhile at the same time abolishing cannibalism, human sacrifice, the burning of\nwidows, and similar practices. But if you try to point out this positive side\nof colonization at Western universities today, you will surely be fired, and even\nrun the risk of being indicted as a racist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Western countries are understandably marked with monuments to those aforementioned generations of people, which pay tribute to them while also reminding new generations of the power and vitality their countries once had. That the United States might allow the erection of a monument to a defeated<\/em> General like Robert E. Lee (a top strategist and who was personally against secession, but was led by the feeling of honor to respect his home state\u2019s decision rather than accept Lincoln’s offer to become commander of the forces of the North), was a sign of this strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The madness around the monuments it not new; we will\nremember in 2017 the attempt to remove the monument to Lee in Charlottesville.\nThe court eventually defended the monument, but this year Antifa and other\nterrorist groups set out to barbarize and demolish dozens of other monuments.\nThat is how the monument to Columbus in Minneapolis was destroyed. And in one\nof the episodes of The Sopranos<\/em>, Italian-Americans and descendants of\nIndians were seen waging a real war over a Columbus monument in New York. By\nthe way, since both Washington and Jefferson were also slave owners, I guess\nthe Declaration of Independence and the Constitution should be annulled too, if\nthis logic is followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This revision of history and the loss of identity logically\ngoes hand in hand with the destruction of the natural family. Strong and\nnumerous Christian families were the basis for the rise of Western civilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This really is a war, a war for the defense of identity and\nheritage that has made European man great at least in one long period of human\nhistory. Those who, through their totalitarian monopoly in the media, education\n,and science, teach the descendants of these great people to be ashamed and\nrenounce their past, know very well what they are doing in that war. Now, the\nonly question is whether all of us, from Vladivostok to California, will have\nthe strength to defend the right to our memory and identity, and thus the\nability to survive and not turn into the shapeless biomass that the new global\nmasters are modeling in their molds. A few days ago, President Trump signed an\nexecutive order banning this violence and ordering that urban terrorists be\ntaken to where they belong – to prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
