"There is some significant legitimacy in the view that the government is not interested in equality of rights at all, it is only interested in abrogation of the rights of some in preference to others.

And that, my friends, is the antithesis of equality." AND it is also the antithesis of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" for all.

I think it's actually a FALSE revolution that's going on. I can't recommend to everyone more strongly that they check out the 1939 book "The Revolution of Nihilism: A Warning to the West" by Walter Rasuschning, former mayor of Danzig and originally a Nazi supporter who saw through what was going on. It's available free online.

Today's "revolution" - despite its show of meaning (socialist, "progressive," what have you) - is actually fundamentally empty, like that of the Nazis. It takes advantage of "revolutionary" language to institute a fascism more nihilistic even than the wildly destructive idealism of the French and Russian Revolutions. In other words, what's going on is the great American COUNTER-Revolution. It's the restoration of elitist, aristocratic plutocracy in "underdog" disguise, and it runs absolutely counter to all that the American Revolution fought for.

This also suggests a connection between the Nazi dedication to antisemitism and the contemporary left's obsession with Israel: both are totally fantastical fictions, symbolic keystones for the entire edifice.

Here's Rauschning's book: https://archive.org/details/revolutionofnihi027970mbp
