Fjordman : Why Transnational Multiculturalism is a Totalitarian Ideology
2007-07-09
From last month.
Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre recently participated in a conference with editors and journalists from all over the world on how to “report diversity” in a non-offensive manner, with Arab News from Saudi Arabia as one of the moderators. The Cartoon Jihad the year before had prompted Indonesia and Norway to join forces and promote a Global Inter-Media Dialogue. In June 2007 this was held in Oslo.

Agnes Callamard from free speech NGO Article 19 voiced her concern that it could prove difficult to implement the ideal of equal representation and visibility of all groups in society if we do not control what is presented in the media. Diversity — ethnic, cultural and religious — has to permeate the media if we are to succeed in promoting the Multicultural society. Article 19 is supposedly a human rights organization with a specific focus on the defense of freedom of expression.
As they define it, of course, and they've decided that diversity must 'permeate' our 'free' speech.
Callamard, its Executive Director, has according to their website “evolved a distinguished career in human rights and humanitarian work,” formerly worked for fellow “human rights” NGO Amnesty International, has been published widely in the field of human rights and holds a Ph.D. in Political Science.

#2  ItÂ’s sad, however, that Europeans appear to be more agitated over and willing to demonstrate against capitalism than against the Islamization of their continent.

Because the demonstrators are cowards. They know if they demonstrated against the current Islamizaton of Europe, they would be inciting violence against themselves by Islamists.

#1  Diène said that it is a dangerous development when increasing numbers of intellectuals in the West now believe that some cultures are better than others.

In a triumph of intellectual denial Diène declares advanced cultures to be more evil than the philosophical felony of moral relativism. Those in the West who continue to elevate brutal and archaic socieites to the same status as ones that enshrine constitutional law should one day go on trial for crimes against humanity. These traitors are are hacking at the drawbridge's ropes in order to submerge Western culture in a flood of barbaric savages. This is self-loathing writ large and externalized into a hatred of one's own society.

The Villain Class of Multiculturalism seems to be Western culture and persons who happen to be born with a white skin. Any problems will automatically be blamed on “white racism,” which will ensue more suppression of free speech for whites.

Politically Correct politics are the beachhead of this assault upon America's constitutional liberties. In the guise of liberal tolerance these scum give preference to even the most vicious totalitarians just so long as they are not American or white.

DoesnÂ’t this mean that the Swedish state and its cultural elites are indirectly responsible for driving their own people away from their homes? I think it does, and I think future generations will view this policy as an example of pure evil. I also think they will find it difficult to understand how the Villain Class could in this case be the majority population, not a minority. There are several reasons for this, but I find it hard to believe whether this would have been possible without the incessant ridicule and demonization of whites and their culture that has now become an established part of the mainstream ideology.

Just as no good deed goes unpunished, so has whiteman's burden been twisted into an intolerable millstone of constant apology for America's undeniable success as an economic powerhouse. These are the Zero-Sum cultists attempting to pervert capitalism's triumph into a war-cry for all victim cultures wherever they may be.
