INDEPENDENCE DAY IN THE AMNESIAC STATES OF AMERICA


As we have seen in recent days, history is a major issue in the modern United States, rather as it was in the Soviet Union, where it was frequently "airbrushed" and rewritten. 

The history of the Confederacy has been under attack because it shines a spotlight on the nation's irreconcilable racial fracture. But even the history of America's origins in the War of Independence is extremely problematic. This is because it can't but emphasize how White, WASP, male, cisgenderist, and non-gender-fluid the Founding Fathers were. This effectively de-Americanizes most of the population of the state, while also legitimizing that awkward barrier to Leftist utopia, the US Constitution.

So, what is the solution? Namely, the displacement by the media and education system of this patriotic history of America, and its replacement by a twisted, "politically correct" simulacrum, made up of gender studies, the Holocaust, and "Black History" months, forgettable in itself but also serving to induce a wider amnesia.

NEVER SAY "NEVER AGAIN"


It is not documented exactly when the monster Grendel left "his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere" to "drip his claws with mortal blood as moonbeams haunt the sky." But when he did, we can be sure that the results were rather tragic. Indeed, there may even be some truth in the rumours that "screams were his music, lightning his guide," and he may in fact have "raped the darkness, death by his side."

Likewise, closer to our own modern mythology, April 19th is the day on which, in 1943, the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto, realizing the unpleasant fate in store for them, steeled themselves for an uprising against their Nazi oppressors – with tragic results (but the results would have been tragic anyway, one assumes).
