Great article - Islam/ Islamism's 'Long March' through the UN, media like Al Jazeera, police & other authorities too scared to enforce the law...will be harder to win but the battle needs to be taken up

They have one other thing you failed to mention. They have millions of useful idiots to hide behind who aren't themselves radical 68ers but will defend them in the name of opposing the opposition they have been taught are the real bad guys.

Thank you. I’ve been studying this as well and have a name for this movement we are witnessing — Neo Jihadism.

In the same way that nazism and right wing politics fused in America decades ago to become Neo Nazism, today we are witnessing left-wing politics fusing with Jihadism, and the result is a new movement - Neo Jihadism. Those in this camp have adopted the terminology, dress code, objectives, ideology, and lionization of violence of Jihadism, same as white supremacists did with Nazism.

The parallels are exact but people have a blind spot to dangers of the left, so they’re dismissing the glaring warning signs. We have to stop mincing words about this.

There’s a larger group not focused on Jews or Israel. They latch onto other causes. Greenpeace is an example.

True, although we’ve seen a deliberate cross pollination of “intersectionality” as is evidenced by the participation of figures like Greta Thunberg, whose entire activist identity now appears wrapped in keffiyeh.

I like that term, Neo jihadism, I’d been using Islamo leftism, but yours is brilliant

I love this piece for its clarity and its optimism. A rally cry if you will. We must not submit.

The 68ers - a term I hadn’t heard before.

Same thing as the Draft Dodger Generation. And yes, we need to burn them out of our institutions the way you'd slap hot iron on a tick that is killing the host while feeding off it.

Christopher Rufo's America's Cultural Revolution goes into the historical detail of the data in this post. Really terrifying.

Ignorance would be an improvement. This is deliberately evil, Godless Marxism.

Further to the same subject listen to Tablet Magazine Rootless podcast Liel with Cary Nelson about the decline of American universities.

I believe the issue, Noah, is that the author is seeing in black and white, one aspect of a very real, but highly nuanced, reality. And that, I suggest, is what makes the entire phenomena far more dangerous than what he so accurately describes here. The destructive, anarchist forces at work around the world today are like the many-headed hydra, even to the extent that, for every head that is cut off, two more appear.

There are many different, and heretofore largely independent, streams of evil that are now flowing together; coalescing into raging rivers that threaten to grow stronger and stronger due to storms on the horizon.

A principal source of one of the most powerful streams is the Fabian Society in the UK, originally formed in the latter 19th century. Their original logo was a wolf disguised in sheep’s clothing, with obvious meaning.

The Fabians incorporated a highly sophisticated ‘long March’ strategy to penetrate, undermine, and co-opt every single institution of every country with a Judeo-Christian cultural background. We’re not talking about the colleges and universities alone, although they are indeed a ‘force multiplier’ for subversion. No, we are literally talking about every single institution of each country, and every cultural expression having even a vestige of Judeo-Christian character.

It is G-d who has been restraining this evil, though He does so, knowingly or unknowingly, through human beings to a significant extent. Yet, whether due to ignorance, deception, or willful disbelief, it seems the majority of the world is oblivious to the essential spiritual dimension of what is happening, why, or where it will eventuate. In many cases, they see the ‘signs of the Times’, but do not comprehend what they actually mean or portend. And they definitely don’t understand ‘what Israel should do’.

The Bible has the answers to these and every other critical question, but who believes that to be true? Or, perhaps better put, who believes it is the living powerful Word of G-d; the ultimate source and authority; the touchstone, for all propositional truths it touches upon?

So, yes, the result is largely a case of ‘the blind leading (and fighting against) the blind’.

Should we fight; should we resist, even if against overwhelming, even ‘impossible’, odds? Yes, we not only should, we must. And there will be victories, at least for a while. When the passenger ship is sinking, any delay to the inevitable is of immense value.

But, to have any hope of meaningful significance other than a ‘last act of defiance’ before being crushed, we must fight in the wisdom that comes only from above; in the power, courage, and strength of G-d - and according to His will and ways, not our own.

Our ultimate spiritual enemy is Lucifer/Satan, and he knows human nature better than anyone, other than G-d. He has studied, manipulated, deceived, and controlled mankind, ever since the very dawn of human history. For that reason alone, you can be certain that he has already anticipated how most human beings will react (according to their own fallen natures), and knows very well how to cause their efforts to backfire in their faces.

The Bible has many records of G-d’s prophets giving His direction and His people failing to trust and obey Him; turning instead to the ‘broken reeds’ of Egypt, Assyria, or Syria. The prophets reveal that this type of failure will continue on a national, and international, level. But it does not mean it must be so with us, as individuals, or groups of like-minded individuals.

Perhaps none of this makes any sense to you, but I hope it does. And it is with that hope that I offer it up, asking G-d to bless it and somehow bring fruit from it.

G-d bless, guide, and keep us all, because only He can…

Thank you, Mike! We need to resist, but this can only be done effectively if we return to the God of the Bible and start taking His Word seriously. The woke ideology needs to be replaced with Biblical Christianity.

I'd settle for a return to normalcy in the public square. There is no mandate for Christianity in a good society.

We need to root these bastards out of our universities - at least the idiot northern ones which used to be respectable.

This is a great essay that correctly traces the capture of American academia and culture by the slow march of the 68ers throughout America . Trump is trying hard but concerned Americans must simplly realize that institutions that go woke deserve to go broke

"Tyrannical virtue" is a great phrase! And, " ...an enemy must be found, a focus of all the inchoate energies of hate and violence buried deep in every human psyche. There must be someone to blame, a scapegoat for all the ills that the radicals have failed to overcome. And like the Nazis, they have found the ready victim, the eternal villain and the eternal scapegoat. They have found the Jews." It is absolutely true that there are times when we have to stop playing nice and actually fight to defend Western values. That time is now.

So well-written! I loved how you compared the behavior of the 68ers with “seppuku.” It really is like they’re trying to be family annihilators, the West being one big dysfunctional family.

It's not just the radical left, it's the left, period. Predictably Jews will continue to vote for this garbage in the United States.

I'm Jewish you dumb bitch. Let me give you a dose of reality - the United States is filled with Reform "Judaism" communist degenerate fuck heads like you. 79% of us voted for that Marxist shitbag Harris and the apparatus that she represents. You assholes and your degenerate little purple-haired egg-shaped kids are putting a target on my back in this country. Have you seen the data on anti-Semitism among Gen Z and Gen Alpha? We're fucked homie. In about 15 years these kids are going to have power and they're going to pull the plug on support for Israel.

You always have the stupidest takes. Exactly who are the Nazis in the White House dumbass? Is it the guy who wears a "bring them home dog tag" who has been photographed in an IDF chest rig with Benjamin Netanyahu? Or is it the guy who has two Jewish grandchildren and who has been called the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House? You are so fucking dumb it beggars belief.

I have long tried to explain to people the theory of “the long march through the institutions“. The radical left played a long term game and unfortunately, they figured it out perfectly.
