The Villain Trap That’s Changing America

Hasan Piker put on a Mao jacket. That’s a costume honoring a man who murdered tens of millions of people.

And then Piker lectured college kids.

A candidate in Colorado for the Democratic Socialists of America named Melat Kiros declared on camera that America will only stop exploiting the world once we “elect enough immigrants from the global South.”

That is not a policy pitch. That is a plan to replace the country you have with a new one by replacing America’s founding ideals with foreign ideals.

This has a name: Third-worldism. The whole rotten idea is that Western civilization is the villain, and America can only atone by handing itself over to its supposed victims.

And this is working. It’s happening at our universities, in the DSA, and on the streets.

But the answer to the Left going crazy should not be the Right also going crazy.

And yet this week, Andrew Tate, an admitted pimp, an accused rapist and pornographer, got arrested, and a chunk of the Right went conspicuously silent. Some even defended him, which is disgraceful.

You don’t beat the transgressive Left by becoming a transgressive Right. You beat them by being the adults in the room, by being moral and conservative, and by actually standing for something.

Here is my take. You don’t owe an apology for Western Civilization. A country that lets itself be conquered is not generous. It’s just gone.

But here’s something else: We can lose to those people.

You could look at the crazies on the Left and think, there’s no way that could happen. But there is a way the Right can seize defeat from the jaws of victory: Keep trafficking in idiotic conspiracies, ally with some of the worst people in the world like Andrew Tate, and discard America’s ideals on behalf of transgressive, reactionary garbage.

If you are a law-abiding American citizen, you should be happy when alleged and admitted sex traffickers are arrested. And yet I see a certain segment of the population that is deeply unhappy when alleged sex traffickers like Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan are arrested.

That’s because there is a part of the reactionary Right that supports the transgressivism of the Tates — that hates the institutions of the West in the same way that the Left hates the institutions. They think those institutions have been thoroughly corrupted and therefore untrustworthy.

Paul Ingrassia, the clown who is the acting general counsel for the General Services Administration, put out a couple of tweets over the weekend. One stated:

In America, the presumption of innocence is inviolable. It is supposed to be a bedrock principle of our legal system. The presumption of innocence demands rigorous legal guardrails, referred to as procedural due process. Those who resent this arrangement should really channel their resentment against the Constitution, the document which safeguards the God-given rights of every citizen and lays out these protections boldly. One remains innocent until a court of competent jurisdiction renders a judgment. This process is what separates America from the world, and is what makes this country exceptional. Let’s not lose sight of this.

Yes, there is indeed a presumption of innocence with regard to the Tates in a court of law, but if you admit to doing a bunch of stuff and brag about it and openly tout it on tape, I don’t have to assume you’re innocent any more than I had to assume that O.J. Simpson was innocent.

Ingrassia then said, “Politically driven prosecutions based on one’s personal beliefs are completely antithetical to a democratic society.”

I’m pretty sure that the reason that the Tates are being prosecuted is that they’ve had — hovering over them for literally a decade — allegations of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.

Ingrassia works for the administration. If Republicans don’t fight this, if conservatives don’t fight this brain-worm nonsense, then there is every chance that the DSA ends up in power.

If you brain-worm yourself in the belief that you must ally with the world’s worst human beings in order to “fight the Left,” if you fall into the black pilling of the Right, in which you must ally with alleged sex traffickers and webcam operators, then you are probably going to lose.
