What is Wrong with the World? Berea College and the Decline of the West
You could call Trumpism many things. A new twist on conservatism. Economic populism mixed with relatively conservative social policies. A focus on middle America and the shunning of the radicals on the coasts. Well, Berea College, a little-known college in Kentucky is putting a new spin on things. Its “Women’s and Gender Non-Conforming Center,” hosted an event called “White Citizenship as Terrorism: Make America Great Again, Again,” which featured a presentation by radical author Amy Brandzel, the author of “Against Citizenship: The Violence of the Normative” and aims to present “Trumpism and white citizenship as forms of white terrorism enacted against the majority of people living within the borders of the U.S. and beyond.”
YAF has more details on that event here. Sounds like it would have been a fun event to troll. 4chan, we’re waiting to see what you accomplished. Also, it’s ironic that the name of the anti-Western civilization college has a name similar to the head of Stalin’s NKVD, Beria.
In any case, it’s nonsense like this that is why the Western world is falling into decay. Are Chinese universities hosting events on why the Han Chinese are evil and should all feel ashamed for their heritage? Are the Poles spending copious amounts of time flogging themselves for the supposed sins of their forefathers? Is Putin telling Russians to hate themselves for the accomplishments of Tsar Peter the Great because he used slaves to build St. Petersburg?
No. That would be absurd because the very concept of hating yourself and your national identity is absurd. Britannia ruled the waves when Britons believed in themselves and the glory of their empire. America was at its peak when Americans were proud to be masculine individualists, like our glorious forefathers were. The West separated itself from the rest, building the most prosperous society ever seen, by fully believing in the just nature of natural rights, free-market economics, and Christianity.
Now, we’ve shunned all that and are degenerating as a result. The disgusting whore Cardi B is praised by the media for her vulgar song WAP while Dr. Seuss is canceled for drawing a cartoon of a Chinese man. Our military is being purged of masculine warfighters and replaced with soy boy SJWs and pregnant women. Our manufacturing economy has been replaced by stock jobbers and financiers like Mitt Romney. Western society is killing itself for no reason other than self-hatred. We’ve replaced the masculine with the feminine and glory with self-immolation.
As Christopher Buckley said, and I’m paraphrasing, at America’s height its business leaders had three-martini lunches and regarding themselves as titans of industry, in its decline they sip sparkling water and are uncomfortable with their place in society.
And, worst of all, that self-hatred has no cause. Look at the idiocy of the Berea program that’s attempting to say that Trumpism is terrorism. What fool came up with that idea? Trumpism is partially about law and order and the preservation of American civil society as it existed as our peak. Trumpism brought about the defeat of terrorism in the Middle East, the greatest economy that the world has ever seen, and law and order at the border. There was no terrorism, only pro-American policies. Meanwhile, the leftists in Antifa and BLM attempted to burn down the country.
It would be one thing if America was an abominable nation with a sordid past and reprehensible culture, such as Pakistan or Red China. But it’s not, as Dinesh D’Souza proves in America: Imagine a World Without Her. We kept the world free from the specter of communism. We made the world prosperous. We created a vast empire of liberty that gradually freed the world of the binds of want, authoritarianism, and backwards tribal practices. We are far from perfect, but also far better than the alternatives.
This battle, the battle illustrated by Berea’s ridiculous program, can be thought of as Winston Churchill versus Mao Zedong. Churchill wasn’t perfect, but he preserved liberty, defended his homeland during its darkest hour, and was a good, honorable man. Mao was a communist that killed 100 million of his countrymen and tortured countless more. The leftists at Berea College, with their attacks on Western Civilization and Trumpism, are trying to replace Churchill as our ideal man with Mao. We must refute everything from their premises to conclusions and choose Churchill. Otherwise, the bright light of liberty could be extinguished forever.
I know this article meandered away from the original topic, Berea College’s “Trumpism is terrorism” seminar. That’s because it’s just a small news event, but is indicative of a far larger point. Western Civilization will not long survive if we allow radicals like Ms. Brandzel to destroy all that the Founding Fathers and their kindred spirits to build. Trumpism is not terrorism, whiteness is not a bad thing, and Western history is a tale of heroism, glory, and progress toward liberty, not one of evil men doing evil things. Refute Berea. Stand for the West.

This “college” will be one of the pimples on the ass of liberalism that will get deeply cleaned when the Useful Idiots finally start their Revolution.
We can hope so.
I’ve got something for your Liberal ass,they aren’t going to like it when the Saxon’s really begin to hate ….not the fake crap they perceive .
It’s good that these “events” are occurring. The records kept of the participants will be invaluable in the future.
Take names and kick ass.
The majority of white and black people I know get along fine however if you BLM & ANTIFA keep fucking around with your socialist & communist bull shit to separate us to destroy our nation from within we will eventually be forced to show you some good old fashion supremacy where real Americans stick together and stick it to you
Their Louisville Branch of BLM came to Grayson, Kentucky, last summer to stir up trouble. EVERY resident plus “normies” who drove in from Southern Ohio and Huntington, West Virginia, were on main street and were carrying at least one firearm, and were hooting and hissing “Nigger go home!” Frankly, it was quite an ugly spectacle.
BLM was going to send their Not Fucking Around Coalition, but they were smart enough to not take them up on their offer.
NFAC could have started a massacre if one of their members shot himself while in the presence of heavily armed normies
There were people at the peripheries of the parking lot where the BLM buses were parked, who had rags, matches, and cans of gasoline. They said that had they heard gunfire, they were going to torch every bus in that parking lot, in order to make the BLM people have to make a run for their lives to try to get out of town.
Sounds like some people who know the enemy and how to take care of them
Keep in mind that the FBI already has video of all the good guys.
There were even heavily armed son and daughter normies standing there next to mommy and daddy. Many of them looked like they were teenagers still in high school.
I don’t think these BLM/Aunti Fa people realize how different it is when they get away from the dem controlled urban sh**holes where they live. I am about 60 miles from Memphrica, but it is a completely different world out here in the boonies. Almost everyone has a shooting range set up in the backyard and take their target practice very seriously.
The Flyover folk are very awake and riled about what is going on. I keep wondering what sort of event is going to take place and where in one of these places that will light the fuse of one big national blowup.
That “Not Fucking Around Coalition” makes a mockery of their own name. They usually manage to fuck around with their sidearms until some of them shoot their own dumb asses.
Get woke, go broke. Do the administrators at that commie college realize that half the parents who are going to be forking over big $$$ to send their kids there don’t want their kids indoctrinated? I have 3 semesters left to pay for my son’s private college education. I got one e-mail from the president of the school encouraging me to encourage my kids to join some liberal cause and I hit her like a ton of bricks. I’m not paying for indoctrination, but education. I never heard back from her.
Most people here in Kentucky know that Berea College is a Democratic Bolshevik Shithole full of useless people. One time our local school system invited one of their “professors” to our high school graduation to give a speech; all he did was talk about what they now call white supremacy and how anyone not a Democrat was evil. Everyone sitting there looked around at each other and said things like, “Where did they dredge this son of a bitch up from?” I find it interesting that people talk about the decay of Western Civilization, but most of the regular people I see and talk to everyday around here, a.k.a. “normies”, pretty much have the same values that people had decades ago. If anyone wants to end “The Decline of Western Civilization”, the colleges need to have their suck-tit yanked away from them right now, by ending all Federally Guaranteed Student Loans. If that was done, then within 3 years all of these centers of decay would disappear, and their mouthpieces would be back somewhere living in a basement, causing no more problems.
Colleges should be required to guarantee each and every student loan so they will be responsible when their graduates cannot find work with their gender studies degrees.
Your method is also to be recommended; either way, they go out of communist inculcation business.
Why give any oxygen to these minor nobodies at obscure colleges? Why give them the least attention?
We really have no colleges and universities anymore. No free thinking allowed. They are only indoctrination centers for the new American Khmer Rouge. Very sad but true and as long as the illegitimate Bitten one sits on the throne it is only going to get worse. Had I children today I would not send them to university at all.
Yet we do not organize by the millions on a national/international scale to defend who we are. The only way to stop the effectiveness of cancel is to create too many of us to cancel. This event should draw a clandestine army of thousands of protesters to disrupt their activities.
