In the heart of America's cultural and academic landscape, an ideological ["woke"] mind virus was introduced under the guise of intellectual enlightenment. This virus cam to us from the Frankfurt School, a school of Neo-Marxist interdisciplinary social theory within the Institute for Social Research at the Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany which was moved to Columbia University during WWII, has systematically worked to dismantle the very ethos that made America a beacon of freedom and prosperity ever since they Commies were permitted to infect American academia.
The Neo-Marxist Infiltrators:
Max Horkheimer: The architect of the Institute for Social Research, Horkheimer brought with him a philosophy that saw the world as inherently oppressive.
Theodor Adorno: His critique of the "culture industry" suggested that entertainment was nothing but a tool for capitalist control, a notion that could potentially make one despise the joy of a baseball game or a movie night.
Herbert Marcuse: The one who perhaps left the deepest mark in American soil, his "Repressive Tolerance" argued for tolerance for any and all progressive movements and outright hostility toward any movements on the right, effectively promoting a culture war from within American society. that is still raging today.
Erich Fromm: His psychoanalytic theories blended with Marxist thought to argue that capitalism breeds psychological sickness, a direct affront to the American belief in self-reliance.
Walter Benjamin: Although not an official member, his theories on art and reproduction have been used to critique and devalue traditional art forms in favor of more politically charged expressions.
The Historical Context:
In the 1930s, fleeing from Nazi Germany, the Frankfurt School, which consisted primarily of Khazarian Jews, found refuge not just here in America but in its universities. This migration was not merely a physical one but an ideological transplant into the fertile grounds of American academia. Here, these scholars, instead of embracing the land that saved them, began to critique and reshape American culture according to their European Marxist views.
The Goals and Their Destructive Impact:
Erosion of National Pride:
By advocating for the critique of all societal norms, they sought to dismantle patriotism, often painting it as a form of false consciousness or oppression.
Cultural Pessimism:
Their theories instilled a deep-seated pessimism about American culture, portraying it as a machine of capitalist oppression, leading to a generation skeptical of America's own values.
The Undermining of Family and Religion:
They attacked traditional family structures and organized religion as tools for perpetuating inequality, thereby weakening two of America's foundational pillars.
Promotion of Political Correctness:
What they called "critical theory" led to the rise of political correctness, not for the sake of genuine respect, but as a tool to control speech, thought, and eventually, behavior.
The Critique of Capitalism:
Their relentless critique of capitalism has been used to justify policies that many Americans see as anti-American, promoting dependency on the state over self-made success.
The Spread of Victimhood Culture:
By emphasizing oppression at every level of society, they've helped foster a culture of victimhood, where individuals are defined more by their grievances than by their potential or achievements.
Education as Indoctrination:
Their influence in education has shifted the focus from teaching American history and values to critiquing them, often presenting a biased view of America's past and present.
The Frankfurt School, under the pretense of enlightenment, has executed what can only be described as an ideological coup. Their legacy is not one of constructive criticism but of deconstruction for the sake of dismantling America's cultural and societal bedrock. They have sown seeds of doubt, division, and discontent, all under the guise of social theory.
Their influence has turned universities into echo chambers of critical theory, where questioning these doctrines is often met with ostracism or accusations of bigotry. This has not only altered academia but has trickled down into politics, entertainment, and everyday social interactions, promoting a narrative that sees America not as a land of opportunity but as an inherently flawed system in need of radical overhaul.
From an American perspective, this isn't just academic discourse; it's a cultural siege. The Frankfurt School's critique doesn't aim for America's betterment or reform but for its fundamental transformation into a society that might not recognize itself in its founding principles. It's time for America to critically assess this influence, not just to preserve its past but to protect its future from those who, intentionally or not, seek to undermine the values that have made it a symbol of freedom worldwide.
The Frankfurt School's Thirteen Point Plan of Cultural Destruction
1. The Creation of Racial Divisions: They promoted the idea that racial oppression was at the heart of American society, fostering division where there was once unity. This tactic served not to heal but to deepen the wounds of racial conflict.
2. Undermining of Family Structures: By attacking traditional family values, they suggested that family was a tool for oppression, thus encouraging the breakdown of this fundamental societal unit.
3. Promotion of Sexual Liberation: The Frankfurt School's theories on sexual liberation were not about freedom but about destabilizing societal norms. This was seen as a direct attack on the moral and ethical foundations of America.
4. Educational Indoctrination: Their influence in education aimed at teaching children to question and ultimately reject the cultural and moral values passed down through generations, fostering a generation ripe for manipulation.
5. Media Manipulation: They advocated for the manipulation of media to control narratives, ensuring that the public would absorb their ideologies passively.
6. The Destruction of National Identity: By labeling patriotism as a form of false consciousness, they sought to erode national pride and unity, preparing the ground for globalist ideologies.
7. Legal and Judicial Activism: Pushing for interpretations of law that would favor their ideological agenda over the rule of law as intended by the framers of the Constitution.
8. Cultural Pessimism: Instilling a sense of hopelessness about the state of the world, making revolutionary change or a new global order seem like the only viable solutions.
9. Economic Subversion: Advocating for policies that would weaken American capitalism, promoting instead a form of socialism that would require a global governance structure.
10. Art as a Weapon: They viewed art not as an expression of beauty or truth but as a tool for political propaganda, thus corrupting one of the most profound human experiences.
11. The Rise of Political Correctness: This was not about civility but about controlling speech and thought, a clear move towards authoritarianism under the guise of sensitivity.
12. Environmentalism as Control: While environmental care is noble, they used it as another means to push for global governance, arguing that national sovereignty must be sacrificed for global solutions.
13. Weakening of Religious Institutions: By critiquing religion as oppressive, they attempted to remove one of the key cultural supports of American society.
A Calculated Betrayal
The Frankfurt School's impact is seen by some as a calculated betrayal of American hospitality. Their theories, which have permeated through education, culture, and policy, have arguably not fostered liberation or true progress but rather have aimed at the deconstruction of American identity and values, paving the way for a New World Order that would see the end of American exceptionalism. This article and video is not meant to vilify but to warn: to help you understand the roots of cultural shifts that might lead us away from the principles that once made America a beacon of freedom and prosperity.
Freedom requires vigilance. The legacy of these Neo-Marxist intellectuals must be critically examined, not for what they claimed to offer, but for the potential havoc they might have wreaked on the cultural and moral landscape of America for the past 80 years.
