Politicians and prominent intellectuals say social theories from the United States on race, gender and post-colonialism are a threat to French identity and the French republic.
~ NY Times
American-style black question” was a “totally artificial importation” to France…it was all driven by “hatred of the West, as a white civilization.”
~ Historian Pierre-Andrรฉ Taguieff
The threat is said to be existential. It fuels secessionism. Gnaws at national unity. Abets Islamism. Attacks Franceโs intellectual and cultural heritage. That threat is the United States wokism and cancel culture.
That warning was written on the pages of the far-leftย NY Times.
โCertain social science theories entirely imported from the United States,โโ said President Emmanuel Macron.
โThereโs a battle to wage against an intellectual matrix from American universities,โโย warnedย Mr. Macronโs education minister.
It’s not just France, Trudeau of Canada is echoing the same deep concerns. You have two of the most liberal leaders in the world worried about America destroying the world. And we are.
MACRON WARNS FRANCE TO STAY AWAY FROM AMERICAN IDEOLOGY
In a speech in October on the ‘Fight against Separatism’, Macron warned against leaving “the intellectual debate to others” as he cautioned of the “certain social science theories entirely imported from the United States.”
His education minister Jean-Michel Blanquer also warned in October that there is a “battle to wage against an intellectual matrix from American universities.”
AMERCIANS PUSHING A HATE WHITE CIVILIZATION AGENDA
Some French intellects have also argued that American universities are to blame for giving justification to acts of terrorism carried out by Muslims.
Historian Pierre-Andrรฉ Taguieff argued in the same way that the “American-style black question” was a “totally artificial importation” to France.
He said that it was all driven by “hatred of the West, as a white civilization”
[It’s a totally artificial import to the U.S. also. It’s imported from the past and it is anti-white hatred and extremely far-left ideology driving it.]
“The common agenda of these enemies of European civilization can be summed up in three words: decolonize, demasculate, de-Europeanize,” Taguieff said.
“Straight white male โ that’s the culprit to condemn and the enemy to eliminate.”
The fuse was lit after George Floyd was killed. The criminal with a long rap sheet was trying to pass a counterfeit bill while high on an overdose of serious drugs. He also had heart disease and COVID. An officer kept his knee on his neck far too long after he resisted arrest. Mr. Floyd might have died anyway, but politics helped write the death certificate.
Mass protestsย in France against police violence, inspired by the killing of George Floyd, challenged the official dismissal of race andย systemic racism. A #MeTooย generation of feministsย confronted both male power and older feminists. A widespreadย crackdownfollowing a series of Islamist attacks raised questions about Franceโsย model of secularismย and the integration of immigrants from its former colonies.
JOE BIDEN IS PUSHING US HARD-LEFT
Meanwhile, American president Joe Biden has nominated left-wing officials known for extreme “wokeness” to high office. Biden’s pick to be Deputy Secretary of Education praised aย radicalย who accused school teachers of murdering the spirits of black children, at a school diversity training. As Fox Newsย notes, Biden gave her an extremely complimentary introduction. But does he even know what he’s saying. He’s driven by the communist handlers who really run things.ย CNS News notes.
Biden’s pick for civil-rights czarย advocated black supremacy. Kristen Clarke, nominated to be the top official at the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, opposed a court ruling that protected white voters from being disenfranchised in a majority-black county. She also exhibited racism and anti-Semitism at Harvard Law School. Writing in theย Harvard Crimson,
Clarke cited a number of โexpertsโ regarding what she called the โtruthโ about the โgenetic differences between blacks and whites.โ
She posited that โhuman mental processes are controlled by melaninโthat same chemical which gives blacks their superior physical and mental abilities.โ Additionally, โmelanin endows blacks with greater mental, physical, and spiritual abilities.โ
Even the liberal editors ofย The Crimsonย found Clarkeโs โracist theoriesโ to be โoutrageous,โ saying that Clarke had โresorted to bigotry, pure and simple.โ
She’s not the only one. The Biden administration is filled with these people.
THE DANGEROUS BIDEN ECONOMY
President Biden’s fiscal policy is also to the left of France’s in some ways. Biden has proposed a $1.9 trillion stimulus package that economists say wouldย shrinkย the economy in theย long run. Even some Democratic economists say it isย too bigย andย poorly targeted, and could cause harmfulย inflation. It would also increase America’s national debt toย dangerous levels.
Bidenโs stimulus seeks to raise the minimum wage to $15, which isย well aboveย France’s minimum wage. The $15 minimum wage probably will not become a reality, because the minimum-wage probablyย can’tย be increased as part of the โreconciliation processโ (the process that will be used to pass the rest of the stimulus package).
A $15 minimum wage would increase the budget deficitย by $58 billion, and wipe out at leastย 1.4 millionย jobs.
The extreme hard-left is destroying the United States, and even the most left-wing leaders in the world know it.
