Considering the American rightwing\u2019s adsorption in war and hatred of Muslims, worship of capitalism whose operatives have sent American middle class jobs abroad, and blind support of Israel, a racist country, Americans desperately need a real leftwing.\u00a0 All we have is a fake leftwing.<\/span><\/p>\n I sometimes think the last American leftist was British born Alex Cockburn, whose mother was a British aristocrat and whose father was a muckraking journalist.\u00a0 I knew Alex.\u00a0 He was a gentleman leftist, but more or less a real leftist.<\/span><\/p>\n Today\u2019s leftists are into hate, not the hate of the capitalist exploiter, who most likely has bought them off, but the hate of white people, especially straight white males.\u00a0 The American left is into Identity Politics and Antifa.\u00a0 Identity Politics damns the working class as the \u201cTrump deplorables.\u201d\u00a0 The working class is no longer a favored victim group.\u00a0 Indeed, it is a victimizer. The official victim groups are \u201cracial minorities,\u201d who actually are huge majorities in the world, females, homosexuals and lesbians, and the \u201ctransgendered.\u201d\u00a0 Anyone can become transgendered simply by declaring themselves to be the opposite gender from what they are.<\/span><\/p>\n The working class is under attack for being \u201cwhite supremacists.\u201d\u00a0 This is the way to shut them up, while sympathy is directed to the poor male who has declared himself transgendered into a woman and just won a woman\u2019s sport event.\u00a0 Normal people (soon a crime) have criticized letting a man win a women\u2019s sport contest, and the leftwing comes down on these normal people for being \u2018transgender phobic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Alex Cockburn\u2019s creation, CounterPunch, with his death has become a forum for Laura Carlsen and other such haters of white males to demonize the endangered core populations of the Western world. According to Laura, we face the \u201cthreat of rightwing terrorism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Laura goes on to define \u201cwhite nationalist\u201d as \u201cKu Klux Klan, neo-Confederate, neo-Nazi, racist skinhead, and Christian Identity.\u201d The ignorance Laura displays in these associations is astounding, but ignorance is the leading characteristic of America\u2019s fake left<\/span><\/p>\n Laura goes on to define \u201cWhite\u201d as \u201cthe racism directed at all non-white peoples and nations.\u201d\u00a0 Nationalism \u201crefers to the territorial aspirations of the movement and the goal of a nation or homeland.\u201d\u00a0 Is Laura talking about Israel?\u00a0 She wouldn\u2019t dare.<\/span><\/p>\n Laura lost in her emotions goes on to find \u201cwhite supremacy\u201d and accompanying \u201cmisogyny\u201d in a \u201cmeticulously cultiated sense of entitlement among white males. No matter the social class, wealth, physical appearance, you, young male, are entitled to women and social dominance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Any white male with a female boss has to wonder at Laura\u2019s absurdity.\u00a0 White males with female bosses don\u2019t get promoted.\u00a0 They don\u2019t get bonuses.\u00a0 They are made to feel dispensable. They go to work every day scared to death that a female coworker will claim sexual harassment or\u00a0 a feminist boss will find fault for demotion.\u00a0 White male readers of this website tell me that they pretend to be homosexuals in order to avoid the stress of worrying about a paycheck.<\/span><\/p>\n
