An Open Letter to the International Left

The following is an open letter to the international Left, i.e., the spoiled, media-manipulated zealots who worked all through the 1980's to annihilate South Africa
(The following is an open letter to the international Left, i.e., the spoiled, media-manipulated zealots who worked all through the 1980's to annihilate South Africa):
Are you happy? You destroyed a well-functioning, sound, healthy, clean, upright society.
All through the 1980's I watched you: gullible, mush-headed dupes, so eager to make public displays of your "virtue" and "compassion." You swallowed all the lies of the South African Communist Party and its powerful allies throughout the Western world; it did not even occur to you to ask questions--so much for "critical thinking."
You marched in the street, denouncing South Africa--something about which you knew absolutely nothing.
When it was over, you went home to your comfortable lives, your effortless, easy lives--and the South Africans, who understood Africa far more profoundly than you ever could, were left to pick up the pieces. They had to suffer the consequences of your ignorance and irresponsibility. They had to suffer the consequences because you were ddicted to the rush of self-righteousness that protesting 'apartheid' gave you. Your "courageous struggle against apartheid"--it was all a lie. And deep down inside, you know it was a lie. You don't mark the anniversaries of your great marches, your great "triumphs." You have forgotten them. You've moved on to other lies, finding other lives to destroy--but the South Africans are stuck with the mess you made. And you don't even care: that is liberalism.
What is the lesson of this tragedy? Liberals always crave something to feel guilty about, but it does not even occur to them to feel guilt over their own grievous mistakes and acts of destruction, motivated by ignorance and arrogance. They just manufacture another cause to pursue: and they love the sound of the media's applause ringing in their ears.
The power of liberalism: that is why the West is dying.

Personally I am proud of the tiny contribution that I and millions of other foreigners who refused to eat apartheid fruit, drink apartheid wine etc, but our contributions were just that -- tiny.
