As every kid knows, you can’t force friendship
American Thinker ^ | 28 Mar, 2021 | Frank Liberato

The left knows this too and, through the artifice of forced “anti-racist” training, it is deliberately driving a wedge between Americans.

Friendship and affection have to be given freely. You can’t force someone to like you, just as you can’t be forced to like another person or even a group of people. Any attempt at this type of coercion will likely produce the opposite result.

Progressives want to use the power of government to codify favoritism and then manufacture kinship. That’s hardly a recipe for success. Nevertheless, they seem determined to force the issue until the country is so polarized that we can no longer see any common ground.

The left has heralded sensitivity training and instruction in critical race theory as the solution to America’s race and gender issues. Instead, they are no more than a thinly disguised form of coercion. Any appearance of success is more than likely just a veil that individuals wear to protect themselves from further abuse or even job loss.

How long before the state prosecutes people not only for what they believe you’re thinking, as in hate crimes but also for what they believe you’re not thinking, as in “you’re not really learning what we taught you in re-education camp”? A nation of automatons hardly seems like a productive use of resources. A great deal of time and money would be required to purge any unacceptable thoughts from an entire population and this “education” will have to be repeated with each new generation. The public schools are working on it already but if their success rate is equal to their rate in teaching academic subjects, it’ll be a rocky process.

This forced equity is not about leftists forging unity, it is a PC way to destroy their enemies. In the most extreme case, imagine how they could force equity between their political enemies and a quadriplegic person or a dead person.

The purpose of all that “training” is to train Whitey to feel guilty and to submit to what’s planned for him: a massive transfer of his money to the government-certified victims, and relegation to 4th class citizen.

The left is about power. Period.

1984, Part 3, Chapter 3:

“...The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently.

We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites.

The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal.

We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.

The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?’ “

The children are the cultural Marxists’ future. Have been for many decades.

Our children have been specifically targeted a century by our pubic schools, news, media, churches and now social media.

We had John Dewey’s early 1900’s Progressive (Marxist) anti-home schooling influence, followed by The Frankfurt School’s mid-1900’s social Marxist plan for children, then Hollywood’s 1950’s communist influences, then NEA’s No God push in our schools.

Then, the 1960’s CPUSA push of college youts for war protests, drug use and wanton fornication, then the 1980’s sitcoms ridiculing parents, then the 1990’s sensitivity training, consensus building and the queer push, then the 2000’s self-esteem facade. In the 2010's, socialism is good.

Recently, MSM, SJW groups and social media are pushing "social justice" and stirring them to riot and destroy -- the anarchy needed before stepping in as heros to "save America" (by electing Biden-Harris).

Now, they're demonizing America-loving patriots as insurrectionists, to silence and isolate us.

Friendship and affection have to be given freely.

Freedom of association

“We have already reached the point where their is no common ground.”

And THAT was the left’s goal. Divide us, against each other, so we fall to them.

Agnostic against Christian, women against men, child against parent, black against white, lower income against higher income, D against R, blue collar against white collar, vegan against carnivore, green against capitalist, young against old.

Our loss of common outside enemies (the King, natives, Muslims, N v S, Japan & Germany, the U.S.S.R., communists, Muslims) was filled with internal enemies, created by the left — Christians, racists, sexists, capitalists, homophobes, fossil fuel supporters, whites and now patriots.

“This forced equity is not about leftists forging unity”

It’s not equity at all. It’s something other than equity if it’s being forced on society and the American people. It is NOT equity. Please make a note of it.

Democrats want the opposite of what they advocate for. It is simple if you look at everything they say is the opposite of what they believe or want.

“Anti-racist” training means anti-White training.

From what I’ve been forced to “experience,” anti-racist training creates anger, resentment and hostility - exactly the opposite of what it is supposed to do.

“How would you like to have been forced to attend that particular struggle session?”

As much as I like easy black welfare, generational black welfare, affirmative action, racial quotas, feral classrooms, declining standards, last summer’s riots and looting, BLM curriculum in our pubic schools now, reparations bills, Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton and Joy Reid — not at all.
