Why is there so much social hostility now?
When I was a kid, people could discuss politics and religion without coming to blows. Today, wearing a “make America great again” hat is likely to “trigger” some Antifa storm trooper into curb stomping you. There’s no compromise. Whoever’s on the other side is demonized and must be destroyed.
This is because there are now two separate “American” cultures, one based on the traditional values of Western Civilization, and the other based on Marxism. It’s quite natural they should fight since that’s what happens whenever two cultures inhabit the same country. Just look at the Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. Or the Serbs and Muslims in Bosnia. The history of the Wild West was wild because the cultures of the American settlers and the native inhabitants were incompatible even as the terrain threw them together. Conflict was inevitable.
But genocidal levels of violence are guaranteed when one side sees the other as an enemy that must be destroyed. Just look at the eternal conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. That’s what we have in this country because Progressives despise everything Western Civilization stands for. To them “racist bigotry” must be destroyed and “social justice” established before they can usher in their Socialist Utopia. If that means a few heads have to be broken to make their omelet—well, Soviet—uh, I mean, so be it then.
Western civilization stands for the primacy of the individual, free markets, free speech, and freedom of religion.
Progressivism stands for the primacy of society and government control (for the greater good, of course) of just about everything. They stand against “hate” speech and traditional religions like Christianity and Judaism, all traces of which must be eliminated from society.
How could two such incompatible groups not end up fighting? One side sees the other as the enemy standing between them and their utopia. The other sees itself—and rightly after fifty years of “culture war”--as a target for extermination by a hostile anti-American ideology.
This fight—like the Israeli-Palestinian one—won’t end until one side is exterminated. That will be the Conservatives, since they don’t have the cultural tools to exterminate the Social Justice Warriors. Handicapped by a respect for human rights and a belief in free speech and free elections, Conservatives won’t do what’s necessary to win.
The other side suffers no such handicaps. They’ve proven this in Soviet Gulags, the Cambodian killing fields, and in the ubiquitous “reeducation” death camps found in every worker’s paradise. So eventually all this social disorder and hostility will cease...when the remaining opponents of “social justice” are either too afraid to speak openly in public anymore or are removed from society.
See you in the Gulag. I call top bunk.

For a complete examination of this topic read my Conservatives are from Mars and Progressives are from Venus...at least until Amazon and Smashwords take it down because it’s “hate speech.”
