The 1916 Project

Astounding, and disturbing. I raced through this and felt like I’d gotten massively “red-pilled,” as they say in the Matrix. I had absolutely no idea the depth and intricacy of the connections between Sanger, the Third Reich, eugenics, Darwinism, and cultural Marxism, nor how such disparate ideas could all be interconnected… but they are, in astonishing ways. What these all have in common, as Gruber points out, is that they all stem from man’s attempt to get back to the Garden of Eden on his own terms, to create a utopia without redemption.

Thomas Sowell pointed out in “A Conflict of Visions” that what truly separates conservatives from liberals is the concept of original sin. If you believe that mankind is inherently sinful, you’ll create a system designed to keep that sin nature in check. If you believe that mankind is inherently good, then man should be able to create heaven on earth, through legislation, social justice, redistribution of wealth, etc. Or maybe through taking “survival of the fittest” to its logical conclusion (if you believe there is no God, why not?). The original “follow the science” (to its logical end) was the foundation of the eugenics that inspired the Third Reich… and they borrowed it from America, from Sanger and her compatriots.

This is a tough book to read, and I wouldn’t recommend it right before bed, I’ll tell you that much. But it’s important, and it explains a lot.

My rating: *****

Language: none

Sexual content: heavy, but it’s not there to be gratuitous. 

Violence: shocking, but it’s not there to be gratuitous

Political content: HEAVY (but the polar opposite of woke)
