You have to understand the true nature of American power. America invades Iraq, slaughters a million people, fundamentally destabilizes the ME leading to the rise of ISIS, and then caps this off by dumping billions of dollars of advanced weapon systems on the region's two fiercest aggressors, Saudi Arabia and Israel. But if you talk to most Americans it becomes very clear that they sincerely believe that China is the most significant aggressive threat to the world and Iran is responsible for chaos of the ME. The interesting thing here is that Americans aren't trying to fool or mislead anybody else, only themselves. They don't really care what anybody else thinks and as long as they remain wholly isolated they can preserve the illusion. Every once in a while Americans will hear that the rest of the world believes they are the greatest threat to world peace [1] but this is met only by a moment of blank bewilderment or assertions that the rest of the world is just jealous. But this total disconnect between actual reality and obsessive paranoid fantasies isn't a symptom -- it's the whole point. That's the game. A French friend describes it best: "Americans are super-heroes of bad faith." It's what explains articles like this. Again, these people aren't pretending. It's what they really believe. In the author's mind, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X -- both threatened, imprisoned, and ultimately assassinated -- were "celebrity spokespeople" for the left. (I won't even go into wackiness where Malcolm X is "more famous" than Coates, at this point I suspect that the author himself doesn't understand what he's writing.) In the author's mind, being anti-PC is somehow a deeply "taboo" stance. In the author's mind all of the fundamental, "Orthodox" institutions are controlled by liberals who control the "airwaves and pulpits and universities." In the author's mind, the big problem with silencing is that people censor themselves rather than being actually censored by powerful corporations and governments. The conclusion is tragic: anti-PC ideologies, despite being secretly super popular, have ultimately failed to "penetrate to anywhere they might actually have power." All of this has absolutely no relationship to reality and this is the point. The true goal here is to promote and validate an alternate reality such that communication with the reality-based community becomes impossible. All of this nonsense isn't meant to convince or persuade reasonable people, that's why it's nonsense. The nonsense serves only to isolate the author and his readers. The question itself, and the plea -- "won't somebody think of the brave anti-PC youtubers!" -- is so disconnected from reality and contravenes all objective measurement that it will only attract the true believers. That anti-PC and anti-liberal ideologies are heavily popularized and pushed 24/7 in the vast majority of Youtube videos, the most popular news networks, the majority of state governments and ultimately by the President himself is what gives the entire exercise its power.
