There’s a much, much bigger issue at hand regarding the lewd Trump tape and I really want people not educated on such matters to understand what’s going on, especially people who are extremely disturbed by what he said.
There are laws that curb speech all over the world. Those laws have infiltrated western societies. The very societies that created laws to allow free speech in the first place are now banning it at a rapid pace. You might not realize it, but these subjective and vague laws known as “hate speech” laws ban literally anything considered politically incorrect by European Union authorities. Not only that, they have enlisted American companies including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube (Google) and Microsoft to help “combat the spread of illegal hate speech online in Europe” by actively removing offending material and cooperating with authorities investigating this “criminal activity.”
This is happening right now. But what does that have to do with Trump?
There are many people, including anarchists, who believe without any doubt, that what Trump said is proof that he has sexually assaulted women, despite the clear joking context in which it was said. The blatant liberal mass media, without question, is pushing this narrative so hard as to make questioning such reasoning appear 1. That such people think what Trump said is “normal” and “ok” 2. They think that actually sexual assault is acceptable behavior and 3. They will support Trump “no matter what” he says or does. The frenzy is so extreme that celebrities are cheered for threatening violence against Trump.
This mass media shamming and shunning is a critical weapon in a very real and very frightening phenomenon known as Cultural Marxism (also known as multiculturalism and political correctness). Voluntaryists understand how crucial it is to separate the idea of actions that use initiatory force and those that do not. Threats, coercion, fraud, etc. fall into the category of violating the non-aggression principle. That is clear. But offensive words alone do not and must not be allowed to fall into the category of using “force” against another person. This, of course, is especially true as it relates to government laws. Laws that forbid speech, force cultural integration, force behavior like baking cakes, or import thousands of people from foreign lands into communities all across this country are highly immoral for numerous reasons.
As I said, these types of laws are already rampant in Europe. Brexit was an example of critical pushback against this frightening trend. If you recall, the demonization of those who voted Brexit was on the same level as the demonization of Trump right now. Charges of xenophobia, racism, sexism, etc. were and are rampant for anyone who opposes multiculturalism. And it’s not just in Europe. Canada is also following suit.
One of the most important indicators or “canaries in a coal mine” for Cultural Marxism are a comedians. Comedians have always been at the forefront of pushing the envelope of what speech is acceptable by a society. Once you start curbing what comedians can and cannot say, the slippery slope towards tyranny is very real indeed. “Rights tribunals” in Canada are now fining comedians for insulting patrons of comedy clubs. You read that correctly. This is really happening. This type of free speech was forbidden by a conservative America pre-1960. Such speech by comedians like Lenny Bruce was prosecuted. The left championed such freedom of speech by fighting against “Cultural Conservatism” and won handily...for a time.
So if you think these laws won’t be allowed in the United States, you are gravely mistaken. The left is now turning back on themselves and implementing the very same constraints as misguided religious conservatives once supported. Funny how that works, isn’t it? The trend towards Cultural Marxism that has swept Europe is most assuredly sweeping this country as we speak and what just happened to Trump is proof of it.
People who blatantly hate the state, politics and Trump like myself are being accused of giving him a pass on what he said and even going so far as to accuse us of condoning sexual assault! And not just accused by leftist statists, but by anarchists too. What many anti-state folks do not yet understand is the reality of this insidious Cultural Marxism and how incredibly threatening it is to those of us who value individual freedom above all else. In fact, they are so caught up in the hysteria of multiculturalist propaganda that they don’t even realize it. That’s how insidious it is.
I strongly believe that it is critical for those of us who are opposed to state violence to recognize that Trump represents an important rejection of Cultural Marxism for millions of Americans. Those of us who see the bigger picture fully understand that some of his supporters are, indeed, all the terrible things that leftists accuse them of being; white supremacists, nationalists, alternative rightists, xenophobes, sexists etc. But none of this matters. These people will always exist in society, free or not. And many of them these bigots are, in fact, on the left. But their bigotry – according to Cultural Marxists – is not “real bigotry” because “it’s impossible for minorities to be bigots.”
A critical point to understand is that, as uncomfortable as it is to admit and accept, Voluntaryists have more in common with Trump supporters than we do with leftists for one very extremely important reason; like us, they desire separation. They value the idea of individualism. They want the ability to decide who they associate with. As statist as they are, at least they want more individual states and not one large global state governed by a “World Union.” We might find some of their choices of association reprehensible but we must face the fact that forcing one homogenized, global “culture” via government violence is far more dangerous to the future of humanity than these people are.
Voting for Trump is not an option. That much is obvious. But recognizing what he represents; a pushback against this extremely dangerous multicultural agenda by leftists, is not only worth supporting; it is vital for our survival as individualists.
It’s time to grab Cultural Marxism by the pussy.
