From WSJopinion: Idol smashing and cancel culture are part of a broad ideological project to re-educate Americans, writes andrewmichta

Wonder Land: The collapse of liberal elites under a leftist offensive has been in the making since the 'Summer of Love.' Images: Getty Images Composite: Mark KellyCzesław Miłosz, a future Nobel Prize-winning poet who had just defected from Poland, began work in 1951 on a book called “The Captive Mind.

” Even as Stalinist totalitarianism tightened its grip on Eastern Europe, many Western European intellectuals lauded the brave new world of Soviet communism as a model for overcoming “bourgeois forces,” which in their view had caused World War II. Living in Paris, Miłosz wrote his book, which was published in 1953, to warn the West of what happens to the human mind and soul in a totalitarian system.

opinion andrewmichta Yes educating America in not honoring monsters and traitors. Shows we are growing as a society and renouncing the racist conservatism

opinion andrewmichta No kidding.

opinion andrewmichta Fuck em...cowards

opinion andrewmichta I wouldn't call it re-educating as providing the whole picture with information that, surprisingly, a lot of Americans were honestly not aware. Growing up in the west I didn't learn about ongoing suppression (inhumane, deadly) in south until I started independent reading.

opinion andrewmichta Good explanation of what is happening. All of a sudden if you don’t proclaim BLM support your racist. Every business now has to proclaim they are not racist or suffer the consequences.

opinion andrewmichta This was a garbage ass piece

opinion andrewmichta Yeah, nationalize Texas textbook standards. Jeez. No wonder Murdoch resigned from the WSJ board. It is getting harder and harder to the opinion page seriously.

opinion andrewmichta This will, help re-educate Americans about the Liberal/DemocRAT party, just watch below something the DemocRAT MSM are trying to whitewash over, the Truth. ...

opinion andrewmichta Enough with “cancel culture” already. What people are really saying with that phrase is that others should not be able to decide what factors into their purchasing power. You don’t have to agree with it, but at least call it all out—not just the ones you don’t like.

opinion andrewmichta Isso é brincadeira dos comunistas safados.

opinion andrewmichta ALL Fascist/Communist cultures (aka: cancel culture) have tried to obliterate history and replace it with their own ideology and kill anyone who disagreed with them !!!

opinion andrewmichta Idol smashing and cancel culture are part of lifting the veil of myths and mythology that has blinded America to its historic wrongs and injustices. Only through clear, new eyes can we see to rebuild our world according to our ideals and aspirations.

opinion andrewmichta That's a American's version of civilization revolution.

opinion andrewmichta As in 'Re-education Camps?' Very Marxist/Maoist.

opinion andrewmichta If you think this is about re-education ur a naive or an agenda driven journalist.Every objective person knows unrest in USA is orchestrated by DNC & their affiliates.U assume mobs on street & online noise makers represent d core of America? US media is 100% Dem agenda driven

opinion andrewmichta Educating America. Good luck

Opinion: America's Third Reconstruction is happening nowThe right's obsession with the 1619 Project reflects a much bigger conflict, writes Peniel Joseph. America in 2020 is on the brink of a moral precipice more than a century in the making, Joseph says; this year of plague, protest and violence has hastened America's political reckoning with aspects of White supremacy that have narrated myths about our nation's collective past. Opinion Alternative view: voters will choose between a candidate whose party loves the U.S. & a candidate whose party hates the U.S., not to mention a candidate whose party will assault/destroy anything & everything standing in its way.
