Entry: Who Speaks for Europe? (on the PC defenders of the West) Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/who_speaks_for_europe_on_the_pc_defenders_of_western_civilization#29203 Post contents: "And I don’t hold out much hope for the Eastern Europeans either, as they fall under the control of the Western media, the EU, and such culturally disfiguring organizations as NATO." Prof. Gottfried, Well, Russia is antagonistic to NATO, so that organization may just push it further away from the West. As far as the media goes, I theorized (http://thenewfaith.org/2008/06/09/russia-for-russians/) that government control may be the difference between us and and them. "Why does Russia seem to be pretty much the only white government that at least sometimes cares about the well-being of its own citizens over that of foreigners? Let me offer the theory that maybe it’s because the media hasn’t been in the hands of leftists. Something called Freedom House being has ranked the country 144 out of 169 in press freedom but then again they also call France and Germany free countries so I think we can conclude that their definition of freedom is the same as that of our friend from Human Rights Watch. If I had to choose between living in a country where I couldn’t criticize a patriotic government and one where I couldn’t criticize homosexual activists or immigrants destroying my country there’s no question about which I’d choose. The media has been by far the greatest shaper of popular opinion in the Western world at least since the invention of TV. Everybody under 20 doesn’t support gay marriage because they were taught to by their parents but because they grew up watching TV shows where gays were the funniest and best looking characters and anybody who had a problem with them was an uptight square. Russia is very late in getting all the pop culture garbage and if the government isn’t censoring it now they should. At this point in his history, the mass media is our biggest enemy. As Oswald Spengler said 'What we need is not freedom of the press, what we need is freedom from the press.'" I'll need more information before I write off Russia. Remember, members of the old Soviet Union will have the advantage of watching the West begin to rot. We'll also probably see a decline in international institutions as ethnic conflict begins to rise in the West and low IQ non-westerns good for nothing more then collecting welfare checks begin to sink our economies.
