MCCOTTER: The Cultural Contradictions of Progressivism: Modernizing the 'Blood Libel'

The following is the third in an intermittent series exploring the cultural contradictions of progressivism.

In past articles, we have examined the Manichean, comic book nature of the Left’s ideology, particularly its “identity politics” and prescribed spoils system “intersectionality.”  To reiterate, the rich mosaic of human interaction is deconstructed into a struggle between oppressors and oppressed.  The Left then prioritizes the oppressed for governmental and societal recognition and recompense based upon the victim’s ideologically presumed real and/or assumed suffering(s).

Human nature being what it is despite the Left’s most coercive efforts, one of the more egregious problems with identity politics and intersectionality is how it intrinsically results in a hierarchy of the oppressed.  And the competition is cutthroat.  Much like the movie and TV series Highlander, “There can be only one!”

Within the Left’s DIE cult (“diversity, inclusion, equity”), for some to be included they must abandon their own identity and beliefs; and take their place in their preordained slot within intersectionality’s roster of the oppressed.  If they do not, they will be excluded and persecuted; for, within the DIE cult’ Animal Farm, some identities are more equal than others.

Of course, this is neither diverse, inclusive, or equitable.  But, in a cruel continuation of their historical oppression, it remains the reality faced by the Jewish people.  What is striking, is that the escalation of anti-Semitism is a product of both the radical Right and Left.  The key distinction is that such anti-Semitism on the racist, radical Right – the historical locus of hatred and attacks against the Jewish people – is universally denounced and rejected by sane minds.  The anti-Semitism of the radical Left, however, is increasingly condoned and institutionalized – especially in America’s institutions of “higher learning.”

Leftist anti-Semitism is rampant at college campuses.

Quote
In the Jewish Journal, Kenneth L. Marcus, founder and chairman of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, records: “Nine different law student groups at the University of California at Berkeley’s School of Law, my own alma mater, have begun this new academic year by amending bylaws to ensure that they will never invite any speakers that support Israel or Zionism.”

The reason for this abject discrimination?  Anti-Semitism.

“Anti-Zionism is flatly antisemitic.  Using ‘Zionist’ as a euphemism for Jew is nothing more than a confidence trick.  Like other forms of Judeophobia, it is an ideology of hate, treating Israel as the ‘collective Jew’ and smearing the Jewish state with defamations similar to those used for centuries to vilify individual Jews…

“These exclusions reflect the changing face of campus antisemitism.  The highest profile incidents are no longer just about toxic speech, which poisons the campus environment.  Now anti-Zionist groups target Jewish Americans directly.”

A century ago, Progressives set quotas for Jews - or excluded Jews - for university admissions, because Jews were deemed to culturally different from mainstream culture (or at least, that was the "reason" (Wink! Wink!). Now east and south Asians who dare disprove the Prog narrative that whites keep POC down are battling admissions quotas - because they are deemed to culturally different from Prog culture - and Jews are being attacked in academia, because JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!!!.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
