VDH: The Strange Pandemic of White Disparagement

   This is the core of cultural Marxism / race-Marxism: drop the focus on class and foment race war instead. It's astonishing to me that the left turned so quickly to anti-white racism. It seems to me that genuine progress on racism was made since my youth...but just as a fair degree of sanity was reached, and the racism on the right was pretty thoroughly marginalized, the left eagerly adopted anti-white racism as one of its central principles. It's astonishingly blatant...but the pervasive political correctness of the left makes it unsayable. PC is always some combination of (a) fear of speaking up about the madness of the left, (b) refusal to admit that you see it, and (c) eventually an acquired reflex of not even quite seeing it. There's no doubt that many on the left see the anti-white racism of progressivism, but epistemically recoil from it, as a hand from a hot stove. They fear that even seeing it makes them racist--the worst thing there is, of course. And they fear publicly admitting what they see even more. When such crimethink flashed through their mind, they avert their mental gaze. Better to let themselves be demonized. Better to let the nation be destroyed by the Woketarian cult. Better to see overt anti-white racism become the unofficial (and, increasingly: official) order of the day...than to be thought, even possibly, a racist. By others or themselves. 
   It's astonishing to me how locked into such groupthink so many people are. Even at universities--especially at universities--where thought is reputedly most free, but is, in fact, most unfree. I almost can't stand to be around it anymore. I feel like I'm amongst the pod people of Invasion of the Body Snatchers
   Utter madness.
