Derb looks back in bitter schadenfreude.
Back in 2009, I published a book, We Are Doomed.
The subtitle was Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism. And I was pointing out to American Conservatives that they weren’t succeeding in anything because they had been too optimistic; and that the proper stance for a philosophical conservative is a careful pessimism.
So now, 14 years on, I want to discuss the question: in what direction have we gone since I published that book?
As we all know only too well, the answer to that question is grim indeed: straight down the crapper.
Follows, John takes what he calls “a quick canter through the last 14 years of our Cultural Revolution” which demonstrates that the man isn’t just a visionary, he’s a full-on fucking prophet. The issues are addressed according to the book’s chapter titles: Culture, Sex, Education, War, Immigration, and so on, well-aimed salvos on not a single one of which he missed his mark.
From the Diversity section, which holds that the real problem isn’t necessarily with “diversity” itself, rather with the preposterous surfeit of it the maniacal Left has studiously rammed down Real American throats in recent years.
I’m personally, a “salt in the stew” diversitiphile. I like a little diversity.
I grew up in mid-20th century England. The guy who sold us ice cream was an Italian!
And one of the girls in our class was Scottish, which we thought was very exotic. She had a Scottish accent.
And then, when I was in my teens, we got our first Chinese restaurant! And that was good too.
But it was salt in the stew. A little bit of salt spices up the stew. But you really don’t want to dump a whole bag of salt into your stew.
Which is what we seem to want to do.
Well, actually, it’s what some of us want to force the rest of us to do, more like.

Then they assimilate and become mostly just like you. Except they still can make good ice cream or Egg Foo Yung.
Salt in the stew. A great analogy.
BTW the people who want to dump all that salt in the stew don’t care about the salt and want to get rid of the stew. They want YOU to start over and eat bugs. THEY will still get well prepared stew though. Plus egg foo yung and two scoops of ice cream for dessert. Joetato still gets puddin’ though.
