I'm not usually a fan of Ann Coulter, but this column is excellent. Here's the start:
Whatever you had planned to do for the rest of the day, please drop it and read this right now: Heather Mac Donald’s new book, “When Race Trumps Merit: How the Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence, Destroys Beauty, and Threatens Lives.”
It seems that in the hysteria that followed George Floyd’s death in 2020, we agreed to destroy all of Western civilization — law, music, art, education, policing, science and medicine — to make up for black people not doing well on standardized tests.
Mac Donald cites not hundreds but thousands of institutions that have flung aside standards in order to more fully dedicate themselves to the sole, driving purpose of our nation: boosting black people’s self-esteem.
To consider just one arena, I don’t think you’re going to like the medical care you’ll be getting under the new regime. Just like in the wildly successful Soviet Union, science must be subordinated to politics, specifically “racial justice.”
A major theme here at GAW is the certainty that western civilization was all built on lies so huge and all encompassing as to render everything we've ever been taught a lie. Many people here look forward to this destruction of the West. Another group of folks here at GAW believe and look forward to apocalypse narratives, mostly in the biblical context, and that features completely destroyed cities and nations etc. I see it all the time here. A certainty that total collapse and destruction is what is needed and even desired. So although it's for different reasons, at least the goals of total destruction of the USA is a common goal for a LOT of people.
No. Do not confuse modernity for civilization. Modern society was built on lies. Western Civilization was built on Christianity. Christian principles are what allowed our people to increase greatly our knowledge and to build strong nations. Proverbs 4:7 says “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Modernity’s attacks on Christianity are attacks on civilization and knowledge.
