The Most Memorable Leftist Hypocrisies of 2017-8

The left is composed of horrible people. Most sane people realize this, even if they have friends on the dark side. I have friends on the left, so I can say, “Some of my best friends are horrible people.” The right wing has its own problems, but for now, let’s talk about the first two years of Trump’s presidency. It should stun even the most cynical among us.

From the “99%” to “Crush the Little Guy”

Jason Wilson published a column at the reliably left-wing Guardian called “How the world has fought back against the far-right and started winning.”

It celebrates Gestapo tactics against inconsequential bad guys the left labels as racists, Nazis, or whatever. Wilson glorifies “doxing,” “counter-surveillance,” and “no-platforming.” He likes pressuring governments to classify internet commenters as terrorists and deny them visas. It exhilarates him to foment betrayals within conservative camps and devastate people like Milo Yiannopoulos.

You get the feeling that Jason Wilson hates people.

Atop Wilson’s hit list sits Gavin McInnes, a guy who made YouTube videos and denounced the Charlottesville protests. Wilson also reminisces gleefully about getting Alex Jones blacked out from social media and demonizing Lauren Southern.

Wilson uses the “Nazi” label. Maybe he shouldn’t unless he speaks of himself.

The trials and police investigations following the Reichstag Fire of February 27, 1933 sound eerily like everything Jason Wilson trumpets. The fire caused expensive damage to Germany’s parliamentary building. It became the pretext for sundry measures that the National Socialists and Hitler used to eradicate dissent from one-party rule: massive propaganda, “doxing” the supposed bad guys (in this case, communists), banning other parties from meeting, censoring publication of ideas contrary to the state, fishy balloting, abrogating due process, rounding up enemies of order, and seizure of arms and resources.

This sounds like a left-winger’s dream come true, if you replace communists with white supremacists or homophobes.

Maybe the left thinks it can carry on this way and won’t go to the excesses of the Nazis because American leftists are more civilized. Or something. I doubt that the left even understands the Nazis enough to avoid becoming them.

It took five years to go from the Reichstag Fire to Kristallnacht and the Anschluss. I don’t doubt we could go from Charlottesville to a massive raid on transphobic churches and emergency annexation of Guatemala by 2022.

Fighting white supremacy by giving rich white women unchecked power

If you know the story of Emmet Till, you know that in 1955, whites killed a black boy for allegedly flirtatiously addressing a white woman. Why? Because there exists in the American psyche a powerful urge to protect the honor of women, and especially white women.

The white knight returns!

In 2017, Time named Taylor Swift Person of the Year because she dodged a lawsuit by a man far poorer than she was. The man sued her because she called his bosses and told them he had groped her; the radio station fired him. He disputed her claims and sued her for defamation. She showed up to the trial and made a splashy speech that won the jury over, so he ended up with no job, and she came out with even greater fame, notoriety, and fortune. With her millions upon millions of dollars, she could hardly class herself with a honkytonk waitress fighting off a sleazy shift supervisor.

Time found Swift’s heroism so dazzling that it overshadowed soldiers killed in war, volunteers running orphanages, leaders of foreign countries, first responders braving death to medevac disaster-survivors, and people who did more than get someone fired for groping them at a photo shoot.

If he did grab her rear end, he should not have. He deserved a slap, a suspension, or even a firing. But did he? Let’s try to stay objective.
