In the past, the leftist coalition was based on economic class. The left were the champions
of blue-collar workers against the managerial, big--business classes. Their priorities were jobs,
pay, and decent living standards for ordinary citizens. A few leftists -- Bemie Sanders in the
United States, and Jeremy Corbyn in Britain -- continue this tradition. They are, notably,
significantly older than many other left-wing politicians. They are also loathed by much of the

In the 1950s and 60s a group of European expatriate academics known as the Frankfurt
School married Gramsci's idea of cultural revolution to the idea of a new revolutionary
vanguard: one made up of students, feminists, and minorities who felt excluded from mainstream
western culture and sought to change it. Their ideas would provide much of the intellectual
ballast for the cultural upheavals of the 1960s, and the subsequent transformation of the left.
That's why Andrew Breitbart wrote about them extensively in his bestselling book,
Righteous Indignation.
The New Left, as they came to be called, were responsible for the early stages of the
left's pivot away from traditional class politics and towards the divisive, politically correct world
of gender, racial, and sexual politics we know today. They were the ones responsible for making
issues like abortion, the reversal of gender roles, racial justice, pacifism, and multiculturalism

The New Left also enjoyed phenomenal success in the realm of culture. For the youth of
the 1960s, rebelling against the over-protective, military-minded, and somewhat austere World

part, thsee young baby boomer didn't realise where thsee ideas were coming from. Rock

problems, men, and especially white
working-class men, are routinely ignored by the leftist political class. Any attempts to address
their issues are usually met with outrage. Only this year, when the British conservative MP
Philip Davies gave a speech at a conference on men's issues, the reaction of feminists in the left-
wing labour party was to demand he be suspended from his party. As for whites, any attempt to
organize is usually received by the mainstream as the very revival of Nazism, despite the fact
that much of such organizing activity today comes as a response to a culture that appears to hate
them.
Popular culture, dominated by the left, is instructive. Movies are filled with petty, mean-
spirited jabs at straight white males. There's a huge trend of movies that seek to channel white
guilt over slavery, with movies like, Django Unchained, 10 Years 2 Slave and MLK. The villains
in these movies - always white males - get progressively more sadistic and irredeemable.

Twitter is the Silicon Valley company where progressive bias is most apparent, but
Google is the company where it is the most dangerous. Google- the eampany that has perhaps
more influence than any other in controlling what information we get to see on the web, and it
wields a frightening amount of power. If Google decides that it doesn't want web users to find
something, it would be very difficult to stop them. That's probably why, out of all the Silicon
Valley companies accused of bias, it was Google's that Donald Trump addressed directly.
The occasion that led him to address it was the release of an explosive video showing
bias in Google's search results. In thea video, tech channel SourceFed demonstrated that searches
for Hillary Clinton did not autocomplete to words that were popular searches if they reflected

negatively on the Democratic candidate (for example "Hillary Clinton did not autocomplete

According to Epstein's findings, it was relatively easy to get Google to display negative
search terms for Clinton's primary opponent, Bernie Sanders, and for Donald Trump. Another
coincidence?

The great lie of Black Lives Matter is saying that police hurt black people rather than the
truth, which is that police help them. A cursory glance at arrest statistics reveals the group's
claims to be shockingly fraudulent. It's true that police shootings disproportionately affect black

they make up 26 percent of police shooting victims, despite making up 13 percent of

about racism and racial disadvantage for decades, are moving on racial issues. Having made the

It's been more than fifty years since the Johnson administration signed the 1964 Civil
Rights Act into law, and America has blood on its streets. But it can no longer be blamed on
On July 7, 2016, the black supremacist Micah Xavier Johnson opened fire on police
officers in Dallas, Texas, killing five officers and injuring nine others, as well as two civilians. It
was the deadliest incident for U.S. law enforcement since the September 11 attacks.
Just ten days later, another black supremacist, Gavin Eugene Long, opened fire on police
officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He killed two officers and hospitalized three others, one
critically.
Both Micah Xavier Johnson and Gavin Eugene Long grew up in a society in which
university professors, celebrities, and mainstream news outlets all told them that the police were
racist and wanted to kill them. Both men turned to virulently racist forms of black nationalism,
which -- unlike, say, Pepe the Frog -- receives scant scrutiny or attention by media and political
elites. In many university departments, the ow u hne 'views held by Long and Johnson are Comment [A253]; Jse ct"ê ems :c
virtually encouraged.
Both men are individuals responsible for their actions, but it would be simplistic to argue
that they weren't also products of their upbringing, and the messages they were bombarded with
since birth. While the progressive left harangues white twerkers and dreadlocks-wearers as racist,
and while the establishment media wrings its hands over alt-right memes, black people in
America are being fed a daily dose of anti-white, anti-police hatred that, inevitably, spills over
into violence.
The greatest tragedy is that the primary target of this violence is the police, one of the
greatest, largely unacknowledged allies of black communities. It is the police who stand between

claim to do. They cause more black lives to be lost, not less. And they do so by attacking the one
group of people, the police, who are trying to help their communities.
The people who really ought to hate Black Lives Matter are other black people.

It was two weeks after the election of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States,
and the Deputy Prime Minister of Japan,Tarõ Asõ, was visibly annoyed. But he wasn't annoyed
at Donald Trump.
Speaking in Japan's National Diet (parliament), the famously blunt Deputy Prime
Minister shot down a suggestion that the country should begin to make plans for Trump's

Even more worryingly for the media, trust is in particular decline amongst younger
people. From 2011 to 2016, trust in the 18-49 age bracket fell by nearly twenty points, from 43
percent in 2011 to 26 percent in 2016. For the older generation (50 and over), trust only declined
by six points in the same period, from 44 percent in 2011 to 38 percent in 2016.

retired or dead.
Isn't it deliciously ironic that the children of the 1960s, that era when the young rose up
against the heroic, selfless World War Two generation, are now stuck in the same old jam as

surmned up in his now-ubiquitous motto "that which does not kill us makes us By
casting itsthei-r disapproval on us, society once.gave gays an opportunity to develop all sorts of
virtues -- bravery, daring, a flair for the clandestine and the dangerous, a creative mind, and an
appreciation of freedom.
But most of all, it allowed us to be naughty. Again, Camille Paglia noted that, in the_past
whenever she met gay men, anywhere in the world, she found a "spontaneity and a spirit of fun
mischief."
and She's right. There's nothing gay men love more than being mischievous, but it
seems mainstream gays want to take all of our opportunities for fun away from us.

like Tipper
Think back to your classroom days. How did the most mischievous members of the
classroom get their kicks? Why, from testing the limits of the schoolteacher's patience, of
course. Whether it was smuggling trading cards into class, cracking jokes while the teacher was
speaking, or telling the good looking boys in class to reach into your pockets because you had
candy (okay, maybe that was just me), there has always been an endless battle between teachers
But without the teacher, and the constant threat of discipline they represented, that age-
old duel becomes meaningless. Imagine if the teachers disappeared for a week -- there would be
a couple of days of anarchy, in which the naughtiest members of the class did exactly as they

nothing to rebel against. The Lord of the Flies happened because they were stuck on an island

GamerGate was enormously significant. It was the first time that consumers of a major

In the years preceding GamerGate, left-wing social justice warriors had tumed social
media into their personal playground. With the aid of web-savvy outlets like BuzzFeed, hawker

Soon after Rutgers, I arrived at Bucknell University, a small liberal arts college located in
the sleepy rural town of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. The chaos at my previous stop brought me the
attention of the administrators there, who booted me from the on-campus guest residence over
concerns that I presented a safety threat to the community. As if I might corrupt the basketball
team or something. I was relocated to an unassuming hotel that was located right next to a high-

Rutgers and Bucknell weren't oddities, either. As the first leg of my tour progressed, it

At Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, students protested and rallied outside of the
office of the president after students took to the campus sidewalks with chalk to express pro-
Trump sentiments. The special snowflakes at Emory University told reporters that they felt
threatened by the pro-Trump studnets, and that the campus was no longer a safe space for them.
I knew immediately that I had to make a trip to Atlanta. When I finally made it to Emory,
there was a significant amount of anxiety from students concerned over my impending arrival.
Although they spent time preparing signs and chants, their protest efforts were largely ignored.
The event was so well-attended that students filled the hall around the venue, listening to the
event and hoping to get a chance to peek in. At the end of my typical lecture, I led the Emory
students out onto a center quad, and encouraged them all to express themselves on the sidewalk.

The earthquake heralded by the election of Donald J. Trump had been a long time

"phobia"

about how entertaining this dangerous thought or making that dangerous joke would be the end

of our careers.
Well, it turns out that the real danger lies in not daring to be dangerous. The Republicans
didn't dare to be dangerous in 2012, and they lost. Donald Trump dared to be dangerous in 2016,
and he won.
My ascendancy has marked the overturning of an old order. GamerGate dealt a mortal
blow to the leftist vigilante squads on social media and their friends in the press. Brexit put a
stake through the heart of the bureaucratic, globalist European Union. And then Donald Trump
came, to put an end to thirty years of politically correct consensus in the United States.
Leftists of course think 2016 was The Worst Year Ever, and not just because so many of
their favorite celebrities died. Given the scale of their political defeats, they have some
justification, but they are also pessimistic by nature. Some of tThese are the people, after all, who

the entire alt-right. It was the first victory of the mainstream since his election.
I want people to be allowed to make jokes about, and discuss anything that they want. I
don't think people should be ostracized for doing so. I don't fear the ideas of people like
Spencer, nort do I feel a need to hide them from view, because I have enough trust in ordinary
people to examine and reject them on their own. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Nevertheless, if you find yourself in a position where even Mike Cemovich and Paul

defend the right of people to make jokes about whatever they choose, and mercilessly attack

campaigns. But they are not Spencer. If Spencerwas just trolling, as he said, he would have

You should never miss an opportunity to spread these facts around, especially if you're at
