Mandatory Precepts Part 2
Truth, Myth, and Snowflakes
I left off last time pontificating on how ee-veel America is, was, and always has been, with the sole exception of when FDR ruled from Washington.
In fact, America’s ee-veel is so boundless that even time can’t constrain it. Did you know that the USA was importing slaves even before these United States of America existed? That’s right—data from the trans-Atlantic slave trade from the 1600s is attributed to the USA by morally superior (leftist) professors and armchair historians. You thought it was British, French, Spanish and Dutch slavers buying Africans from Muslim slavers? You thought the institution of slavery is almost as old as the human race? Clearly you are disinformed! It was time-traveling racistsexistgreedmonger Americans who did it! In fact, Americans invented slavery!
Now that we’re clear on that, back to the WWII narrative and the lionization of Churchill.
The GI Generation has almost completely died off. The Silents are dying. Almost nobody alive remembers WWII. And yet, the majority today, a full saeculum later, are so invested in the Official Narrative as to become apoplectic if that mythology is challenged.
Churchill was the savior of democracy (whatever that is), you heretic!
People are programmed to regurgitate the same synopsis like Manchurian candidates: “Churchill was the courageous embodiment of Britain; a bulldog stubbornly holding Hitler at bay until those isolationist (but not quite evil, see, because FDR and his fellow socialists were in charge) Americans were forced out of their selfishness by the Japanese attack that totally took FDR by surprise.”
The primordial, visceral vitriol for anybody who questions the mythology (as Darryl Cooper did), by those who weren’t even alive when Churchill was Prime Minister, is not a reaction born of reason, research, and analysis. It originates from a need to protect a belief people have held for so long that it has entwined with their very identity. It seems almost hard-wired, because it was programmed into them at an age before they were capable of questioning what was presented as absolute truth—especially by somebody they trusted.
Everybody just knows Churchill was the heroic British bulldog, you heathen. If you’re gonna deny that, you might as well deny evolution! You might as well tell an ancient Greek that lightning bolts were not thrown by Zeus from Mount Olympus. You might as well deny that a man can menstruate and get pregnant!
That brings us to the Millennials and Homelanders.
You might assume that the future looks promising because the two youngest generations are not invested in the WWII mythos. Well… There are two factors which contribute to their immunity:
1. Diplomas are now just another participation trophy, and they don’t (can’t?) read anything longer than a social media post.
2. They are unwilling to entertain the idea that anything worth knowing ever happened before they activated their first smart phone.
Okay—that’s a stereotype. There are exceptions and I know a few. Let’s say the above only applies to 95% of them.
To be continued...
If you are a Millennial or Homelander and you have read this far, then obviously you are the exception I mentioned above. Thanks for being exceptional, and for visiting my Stack!
Strange thing to us Canadians and French Churchill is somewhat despised. He threw away Canadians like they were used trash, not caring if they died through Montgomery. As to the French, he helped with FDR firebomb Japan & France's coastal cities, and also sunk the French fleet despite being an ally and seeking to 'liberate' France. He also chose to try to destroy France and had the temerity to bitch at Charles DeGaulle.
Honestly, don't like him. To me he isn't the bulldog who held Hitler at bay, so much as the 'drunken bum' as FDR often called him, who was a British Joe Bidden who sunk the Franco-British Empire he was gifted by abler men. What's interesting is that Tolkien & Lewis despised him, as did many alive when he was PM both in France & Britain and Canada also.
In my view, America was better off out of the war, and we all should have left Germany to her own devices. Everyone knows Hitler had designs on Russia, so let him tear apart Stalin, and then we mop up the victor.
But naturally when I bring this idea up, many shake and tremble with rage. Funny thing, the Japanese laugh and nod their heads in agreement (they're very well versed on the history of the era).
