Entry: Gag Order Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/gag_order#29939 Post contents: What we are seeing now is merely a manifestation of Tocqueville’s great fear that the infatuation Americans have with equality will ultimately lead to a complicate acceptance of despotism in order to forcibly achieve equality. This “infatuation” with equality has been actively facilitated by various forces within American society who either idealistically believe in equality or recognize the political advantages in pretending to do so. The genesis of the equalitarian movement can probably be traced all the way back to Christianity, but it was not until the 1920s that equalitarianism began to make real progress. It was then that the Franz Boas School of Anthropology was formed and the ideas of these anti-Western intellectuals were seized upon by a managerial state that came to realize equalitarianism in a world of natural inequality is a recipe for unlimited expansion of leviathan powers. More specifically, if inequality existed, then it was because of unfair conditions that the state was mandated to correct through social planning and social engineering. It is noteworthy that equalitarianism also provides the moral basis for the guilt politics that have destroyed the will of Western Man to preserve his distinct group identity. Paradoxically, equalitarianism has had the opposite effect on other groups of men who now falsely believe that the promotion of their cultural identity is more important than the preservation of the Western way of life.
