INGERSOLL: We Are Not Them. I’m Not Afraid To Say It

Greetings, Dear Reader,

Here it is, the week in review. Been a wild one, in some loud but also some subtle ways, once you stitch it all together.

The bottom line is ultimately …

WE ARE NOT THEM

We are not them. We are better. Our morality is superior, and so is our culture. I am not ashamed to say it. You shouldn’t be either. In fact, you should feel compelled to say it. Now especially, it can mean the difference between survival and extinction. Forget tolerance. Bat away accusations of “white supremacy.” Appeals to “humanity” are exclusively felt for my family, my community, and my fellow countrymen, in that order. Equivocating is tantamount to suicide.

The West is under assault. It has been for decades. It has enemies and rivals on the outside, but also revolutionaries and sympathizers on the inside.

GOP Rep. Brandon Gill has recently devised the most incisive question paradigm since “what is a woman?”

In a recent hearing, Gill had just concluded an interview of Daily Wire investigative reporter (and longtime friend of mine) Luke Rosiak in which Rosiak outlined his findings on medicaid and medicare fraud in Ohio. Rosiak’s conclusion: Near 100% was from foreigners, particularly Somali and Bhutanese.

“Senator Antonio, thank you for being here,” Gill said, turning to Nickie Antonio, a left-wing senator in Ohio’s state senate. “Has Somali immigration been good for Ohio?”

Gill has stopped liberals in their tracks a number of times with this exact paradigm, “Has (X) immigration been good for (X state, community)?”

It’s a simple question, but impossible for a liberal to answer. For too long immigration has been an assumed good. So asking if it’s good is almost hilariously breaking for the liberal worldview. The answer is usually by the numbers simply no, in no tangible sense could you characterize the growing diaspora as “good.”

Antonio utterly imploded (mark 4:24). She sputtered. I would quote her but the words came out in incoherent spurts. She was “almost brought to tears” by the question. She called the question “hateful rhetoric” based on “false information,” presumably referring to Rosiak’s irrefutable reporting on public documents and fraud.

“There are good and bad people in every group,” was perhaps her strongest point, and it’s a calorie-free platitude. It’s meaningless. It’s a truism that becomes false under the most minute scrutiny. Zoom out a degree and it’s instantly incorrect.

Which culture is better? Somalia’s or Ohio’s? Third world, backward shitholes where rape, plunder and child mutilation are practically institutions or … the west?

This is not a hard question to answer unless you’ve been taken by the new quasi religion of the left, which has inverted reality in so many ways. The victim is the villain. The good guys are the bad guys.

When it comes to the political left in America – unflinchingly the primary source of a growing insider threat – we are not them either. We’re better than them.

On nearly every moral quandary facing humanity today, Dems are far more permissive than Republicans. Democrats think pornography is good by almost 2:1 odds. They think doctors, and by proxy the government, should “assist” in patient suicide by more than 2:1 odds. By 12:1 odds they believe in permanent sex changes for minors. They are much more likely to allow for permissive device use among youth in an educational setting. They are much more likely to believe men in women’s lingerie make for good librarians. They also find promiscuity among teenagers more morally acceptable by a rate of 4:1. They are also much more likely to believe children can give informed consent for adult things. There’s only one political wing, Dear Reader, attempting to make pedophilia a sexual orientation.

They think abortion is morally acceptable by almost 4:1 odds. Morally acceptable, Dear Reader, literally means not bad. Their top reason for seeking abortion isn’t rape or incest, despite the propaganda, it’s “lifestyle change” first and foremost. Then economics, then being a single mother and unmarried come in second, third and fourth.

In short: They believe all the things that are bad are good actually! 

Still, it somehow gets worse.

Their youngest generation believes assaulting people over speech is morally acceptable by almost 6:1 odds. Thirty-two percent of Democrats under 30 thought the slaughter of Charlie Kirk was morally acceptable, 20 percent of Democrats overall.

This is not normal. It’s bad. We should not tolerate it. It should be viciously policed. I’m not ashamed at all to say it. We are better than them. Our culture is superior. We should exert our will aggressively and without equivocation.

Here’s a good example: The riots in Belfast. Are they good or bad?

It’s here there’s an expectation to characterize all rioting as bad. The left and leftist elites especially will aggressively pursue the GOP and the right more broadly on this question in times like these.

“Do you condemn?” is always the question.

Well, flatly, I don’t. I condemn the very real, measurable conditions that brought it about.

There is exactly no moral equivalence between nativists rioting in Belfast and dregs burning down convenience stories in Ferguson, Missouri. The Michael Brown story was fake. The entire story about police wantonly targeting unarmed black men for slaughter was fake. It was apparitional.

The apparatus that conducted the most egregious apologia for the racial looting and rioting in 2020 will suddenly turn around and demand condemnation for Belfast. They are not the same. First and foremost, the cause for the former was a complete forgery. It was propagandic. There was never a modern black holocaust occurring. There is, in fact, a violent ethnic displacement occurring, both in Ireland and basically everywhere in the west.

One riot has a distinct moral underpinning, a legitimate cause that’s actually real, and the other does not. Plain and simple.

Right now we’ve got various left-wing personalities attempting to equate Kyle Rittenhouse and Karmelo Anthony, vis a vis, the “self defense” argument. Likewise, these cases are not the same. There is no equivalence.

This is less about tribalism and more about abundantly evident moral clarity. One boy murdered another boy at the drop of a hat, the other defended himself justifiably under threat of death. This isn’t “tribalism,” it’s plain reality.

We are not them. We are morally clear. Our culture is morally and functionally superior. I have no problem saying it. Further, we must say it. We must identify it in order to protect it.

A bunch of Europeans are going viral right now because they’re touring the US for the first time. They’re driving big American trucks to Hooters and going ballistic about it. They’re touring fast food places, Walmart, and Bass Pro Shops. They’re marveling at the abundance, cleanliness and freedom.

An old woman was just beheaded by a migrant in Italy. This is the second attempted, first successful, public beheading in the western world. It’s unequivocally a result of the mass migration of inferior cultures.

This is not normal. We are not them. We should not import them. We should not allow their cultures to overwrite ours.

It’s not normal to hear the Islamic call to prayer in suburban America. It’s not good. We should not allow it to become normal. We should close the door for immigration from all Muslim majority countries.

It’s not normal for black children to plan and then execute riots with impunity. It’s bad. We should arrest and incarcerate them all. We should arrest their parents too. Build more prisons if you must.

It’s not normal to castrate confused children. It’s not normal to teach them about marginal adult sexual experiences in class. It’s bad. We should not allow it to become normal. We should investigate, render destitute, arrest and imprison the individuals involved.

It’s not normal for every person in the local 7-Eleven during rush hour, including the staff, to be illegal aliens. It’s bad. We should arrest and deport most if not all of them rapidly. We should investigate, fine and even arrest their employers. If 7-Eleven goes bankrupt, so be it.

It’s not normal for higher education to abandon standards and become vicious left-wing madrassas growing the ranks of internal threats to the American way of life. They should be purged and shut down, if necessary. I don’t care if Harvard goes out of business. I don’t care if 90% of colleges in America go out of business. They are bad. Their framework is inferior to historical American beliefs. They should thusly be destroyed by any and all means necessary.

It’s not normal to move to a host country and refuse to adopt their cultural norms. We should demand rapid saxonization of all comers. If you are unwilling to learn our language, obey our laws, and adopt our culture, you cannot come here. If we gave you legal status and you revert, consider it revoked, consider yourself deported. It’s that simple.

All of this is true, above all, because we are not them. We are better than them, and it has to be more than a memory. It’s not nostalgia. It’s real. It’s not only a thing we say in muted tones, but something we blare full bore, and a thing we exact with extreme prejudice.

Or … extinction.
