It is proof of the insouciance of the American people that has resulted in the loss of standards of truth, civil liberty, and democracy.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The ruling double-standards and indifference to evidence\u2014indeed, the preference for lie in place of fact\u2014are proof that American societal and governmental institutions have been completely corrupted.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>As Andrei Martyanov shows in his new book, America is disintegrating before our eyes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.claritypress.com\/product\/disintegration-indicators-of-the-coming-american-collapse\/\">https:\/\/www.claritypress.com\/product\/disintegration-indicators-of-the-coming-american-collapse\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The United States isn\u2019t a nation any longer. It is a collection of peoples without a country.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>A nation requires a unifying spirit of the people, and the United States has no such unifying spirit.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Martyanov observes that there is nothing in common between a white WASP farm worker from Iowa, a Jewish lawyer from Manhattan, and a black rapper from the Bronx. They view the world, America and their place in it differently, and those visions are irreconcilable.<\/p>\n<p>Martyanov writes that \u201ctoday, the United States is not a nation, certainly not in the traditional sense of having a dominant ethnic nationality, while the foundational American meme and myth of a \u2018Melting Pot\u2019 has turned out to be exactly that\u2014a myth. America\u2019s many ethnicities have not been assimilated to form a single nation, but rather are more aptly regarded as a salad bowl\u201d of divergent interests. America is a tower of Babel standing on the shaky ground of Identity Politics. Such a multicultural diverse country does not have a national interest because unity is absent. \u00a0A house divided cannot stand.<\/p>\n<p>There is no single American identity. Indeed, the foundational ethnicity and foundational ideas embodied in the Constitution are under attack and are opposed as racist and exploitative.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This attack is institutionalized in the New York Times\u2019 1619 Project, in the educational system and in the Democrats\u2019 racial politics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>The myth of white racist America has served the purpose of providing the Democratic Party with a historical narrative that legitimizes its efforts to develop an electoral constituency based on the promotion of racial politics. Thus the disunity of the country is institutionalized in the politics of the Democrat Party.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>In other words, disintegration is built into the cake.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of unity leaves the US in an extremely weak position with regard to Russia. The Russian Federation is also afflicted with diversity.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>However, acknowledgement<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>of the ethnic Russian foundation of the country is state policy.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The Russian Constitution states: \u201cThe State language on all the territory of the Russian Federation is the Russian language, the language of the State-founding people.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Such an act of unity in the United States is impossible. All efforts to establish English as the national language have failed. In the US the state-founding people are dismissed as racists. This leaves the United States with no foundation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>A weaker position cannot be imagined.<\/p>\n<p>A country without a unifying language is unlikely to be unified in other ways.<\/p>\n<p>In the US the state-founding people are demonized and turned into second-class citizens who must be suppressed because of the systemic racism in their DNA. White Americans are denounced as \u201cTrump deplorables,\u201d \u201cMEGA fascists,\u201d and \u201cenemies of democracy.\u201d They are not even permitted to protest a stolen presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>This leaves the United States as a geographical location in which diverse peoples are further divided by the preaching of hatred.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The solution demanded is that the founding ethnicity acknowledge its evil and accept its overthrow by the racially oppressed. Those making these demands are themselves members of the founding ethnicity.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It is the white left-wing, the white educational establishment, the white Democrat party, and the white media that are attacking white America as deplorable systemic racists.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>There can be no greater disunity than this.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cwhiteness\u201d that is being overthrown is not only ethnicity, but all of the values and achievements of which Western civilization consists.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Rational thought and free scientific inquiry are themselves under attack.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Mathematics itself has been racialized. Martyanov reports that math has been declared racist \u201cby the Seattle Public Schools Ethnic Studies Advisory Committee (ESAC) which released a rough draft of notes for its Math Ethnic Studies framework in late September, which attempts to connect math to a history of oppression. The committee suggests that math is subjective and racist, saying under one section, \u2018Who gets to say if an answer is right,\u2019 and under another, \u2018how is math manipulated to allow inequality and oppression to persist?\u2019 Not to be outdone in race-baiting was a recent article appearing in <i>The Nation <\/i>magazine proposing to count votes of black Americans twice in what was defined as \u2018Vote reparations.\u2019 The fact that this ludicrous\u2013not to mention openly discriminatory towards the white and other minorities\u2019 population of the United States\u2013 idea was even worthy of presenting in what amounts to the herald of the Democratic party\u2019s left wing is a troubling sign, showing the extent of destructive racialist radicalization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The destruction of American unity and foundational beliefs is only one reason that the United States is disintegrating.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Martyanov provides a number of other causes of our disintegration. One is that not only the US but the entirety of the Western world is no longer capable of providing competent leadership. This failure is general and not limited to government. Martyanov likens the Western world to a \u201cWarhol can of Campbell\u2019s Soup, which is nothing more than a \u2018school of pretense.\u2019\u201d The West\u2019s 15 minutes of fame is up.<\/p>\n<p>Western politicians are victims of their pretense. They actually believe that they hold a geopolitical power hand when in fact they are totally outclassed by Putin and Xi.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Western self-deception places the physical survival of the West in jeopardy, because \u201cthe overwhelming majority of America\u2019s modern political class has no grasp of the forces it is playing with and the possible outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The American ruling class is so stupid that it declares American exceptionalism, by which it means Washington\u2019s moral right to world hegemony, while disuniting America with attacks on the country\u2019s founding ethnicity and values. If the United States was founded in white racism, as university faculties, public school systems, Democrat politicians, and the New York Time\u2019s 1619 Project proclaim, what is indispensable about a country whose exceptionalism consists of racism?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>That this extraordinary contradiction can go unnoticed for years while Washington justifies bombing and dispossessing millions of people in eight countries as \u201cbringing them democracy\u201d while the ruling elite steal elections in America illustrates that the cognitive dissonance of the American ruling elite is off the scales.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The illegitimate Biden regime has no qualms about making clear its hostility to the founding American ethnicity.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The regime is staffed up with sexual deviants, black extremists, and Jews who are hostile to \u201cTrump deplorables.\u201d The regime is carrying on a purge of the armed forces of troops that the educational system failed to indoctrinate against themselves. The First Amendment is being misrepresented as a \u201cthreat.\u201d A domestic terrorism bill is on its way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It will be used to brand those out of step with the controlled narrative \u201cdomestic terrorists.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>War has been declared on white, Christian, heterosexual, traditional American males.<\/p>\n<p>And the rulers of this disintegrating country are fomenting conflict with China, Russia, and Iran.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The question is whether the United States will disintegrate before it is militarily destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2021\/02\/14\/americas-catastrophic-disintegration\/\">https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2021\/02\/14\/americas-catastrophic-disintegration\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52541","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=52541"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52541\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=52541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=52541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=52541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
