The Necessity Of Going On The Attack

     A war concludes when one side’s will to continue fighting is exhausted. Sometimes that requires the complete elimination of the losing side. Indeed, that was proposed in late 1945, even though Admiral Doenitz had announced Germany’s surrender to the Allies and Emperor Hirohito had announced Japan’s surrender to the United States. But far more often, the loser simply loses the will to resist, and says so plainly.

     However, you cannot attain victory by remaining forever on defense. In our current war with the forces of chaos, we’re the ones on defense, and slowly losing our will to continue. More, there are indications that we’re running out of time to flip things around.

     Have a tale from Jolly Olde England:

     The girlfriend of the man who flew a “white lives matter” banner over a football match in the UK has been fired from her job after refusing to take “intensive racial sensitivity training.”

     The banner was seen trailing behind a plane over Manchester City’s Etihad stadium on Monday before the club’s Premier League game with Burnley.

     It provoked widespread condemnation and a police investigation, although authorities subsequently concluded that no criminal offense had been committed.

     The person responsible for the banner, Burnley fan Jamie Hepple, faced a social media witch hunt although he responded with a Facebook post that said, “I’d like to take this time to apologise… TO ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOBODY!”

     However, after a Twitter mob discovered the employment details of his girlfriend Megan, she was fired by Solace Foot Health and Reflexology simply for being guilty by association.

     A statement released by the company said they were “willing to try to help Megan by paying for Intensive Racial Sensitivity training” but that Megan had evidently refused to be re-educated and would rather leave, meaning she was effectively fired for being the boyfriend of a man who thinks “white lives matter.”

     If you’re not grinding your teeth over that story – especially the bit about “trying to ‘help’ Megan” – you’d better stay far away from me. But my point isn’t the scrofulousness of the event. It’s this: Megan was not fired because of “guilt by association.” Megan was fired for a slightly more complex, considerably more cowardly reason:

1. Megan is / was Jamie Hepple’s girlfriend;
2. It was likely that the very Leftists who were enraged by Hepple’s banner would know that;
3. Solace Foot Health and Reflexology feared to become a Left-targeted organization.

     The owners of Solace Foot Health and Reflexology, you see, did not believe themselves capable of defending their company from Leftists’ attacks. Knowing the Left’s propensity for targeting anyone and anything associated with whoever has angered them, those unworthies decided on a preemptive surrender. That it cost an innocent woman her livelihood, which might not be so easy to replace, was of far less consequence to them.

     “But what if Megan had accepted the sensitivity training?” I hear you cry. I don’t think it would have mattered. She would have been forced out of her job sooner or later anyway, because of her association with Hepple. The Left is relentless at pursuing the associates of their targets. That’s their pattern, and to this point they have not departed from it.

     There is one and only one way to prevail against these monsters: we must go on the attack. They must be hunted down and beaten down, individually and collectively, so severely that they cannot imagine daring to rise ever again. The process must be so thorough and so remorseless that our consciences quail at the notion. Indeed, I have no doubt that it will involve permanent injuries and fatalities. That’s in the nature of a war – and a war is what’s in progress, the notions of some custardheaded types in the Corporate Pseudo-Right notwithstanding.

     Anything less will mean an unending series of events like the one Paul Joseph Watson describes in the story cited above.

     Why? Simply because we have too much to defend: Too many people, too many businesses, too many institutions, too many items of cultural and historical value. We cannot defend them all continuously; indeed, we cannot defend even a small fraction of them well enough to prevent violence and vandalism that will cripple our entire society. We cannot outlast the destroyers. We must hunt them down and punish them so severely that they cannot rise again.

     Our great disadvantages are the media, which continues to protect the Leftist destroyers, e.g., by characterizing them as “protesters,” and the so-called forces of order, which are de facto on the Left’s side. That makes offensive action by decent Americans risky...which doesn’t make it any less imperative. The general unwillingness to take a risk in defense of the existing order is what makes militant revolutionary minorities capable of overthrowing such an order. At some point, we must either attack or surrender.

     Our sole advantage in this is that the destroyers of the Left are cowards. They only strike where the possibility of harm or penalty to them is infinitesimal. If a sufficient fraction of them are killed, crippled, or imprisoned until they’re old and gray, the rest will furl their evil colors. But that won’t happen until we embrace the necessity of going on offense – and the indications are that too many of us are “too comfortable,” too convinced that “it can’t happen here,” to insistent that “someone else will deal with it,” to do so at this time.

     Just a morose thought with which to kick off your Thursday.
