More Thoughts on Violent Black Mobs and the Evil of Modern Leftism

We always try to switch up the topics here at OneSTDV, but the Carter Strange beating and other recent incidences of black mob violence have really hit a nerve. In this case, it is the leftist/official response to the Strange beating and the subhuman acts themselves that have gotten to me. I burned out on blogging last month, an almost inevitable danger if one invests too much emotion in the topics discussed here. But this rash of subhuman behavior needs to be publicized, especially in honest and cathartic forums such as this one.

The state prosecutor contends this beating had nothing to do with race.

“This was a robbery,” said Johnson. “People have made an assumption of hate crime because the victim is white and the suspects are African-American. But there is no evidence we have seen that race played a part in this.

And the left still wonders why ordinary Americans express increasing skepticism regarding government motivation. The government, with a Justice Department led by Eric "Nation of Cowards" Holder, has no desire to protect whites, afford them any social respect, or allow them any collective grievance. I know it goes without saying, but if this were a gang of whites beating a black teen, the Justice Department, along with the indefatigable race hustlers, would assuredly consider it a hate crime. Honestly though, and it pains me to say this, we can't definitively prove this was race-related. We all know it is because we notice the pattern, but we can't prove it because we can't see inside someone's head to parse their motivations.

Yet the official story on the incident obscures the details of what happened. Mr. Johnson describes it as merely a "robbery", a semantic trick no doubt intended to dampen public ire. But why then did they beat Carter until he almost died? A skinny 18 year-old walking alone, surrounded by a pack of eight black animals, can not defend himself. I can confidently state that a robbery would have required almost no physical assault whatsoever. Of course, we know these animals robbed him, then beat him repeatedly, seemingly for the fun of it. We likely can't prove it was a hate crime, but we can obviously conclude that this was an attack without logic besides the evil expressed by the eight perpetrators.

Clearly, the prosecutor intends to downplay the severity of the attack. At the very least, a standard robbery makes sense; it is the domain of the parasitic class, but it manifests from basic human desire. This beating, unlike retaliatory white lynchings, speaks to something outside civilization. This beating reflects a wholly different constitution of man, a savage mentality that completely lacks human compassion or even human emotion. The prosecutor actually wants to paint the best scenario possible, as most can sympathize with the basic impetus for robbery. I imagine the prosecutor will use this misleading description to justify letting these animals out by age 18 or, at the very latest, age 21.

In doing so, this prosecutor and the vile commenters at places like Media Matters reflect the increasingly amoral nature of modern leftism. The genesis of modern leftism likely arose amongst an overly idealistic group who wished to normalize their lascivious behavior and rebel intellectually against American traditionalism. Contrary to these early dreamers, the modern left has descended to the precipice of evil. I hesitate to classify them as "evil", but their tacit exoneration of blacks for these violent attacks fits the definition.

The modern left no longer cares about human dignity. They no longer care about protecting individuals from harm. They no longer care about happiness, safety, or general well-being. The modern left cares about their narrative above all else, a narrative that dictates their beliefs, their self-aggrandizing moral posturing, and their nauseating reaction to violent acts like this.

I have not read even one comment in those Media Matters threads expressing sympathy for Mr. Strange or the others affected by these mob attacks. I have not seen even an off-hand reference to the victims. All I see are shrill leftists spewing hatred at anyone who just barely crosses the PC line. All I see are leftists asserting that conservative commenters are the bad guys and not the subhuman animals that beat people. The left ignores evil, forgives evil, and ultimately permits evil. Perhaps they don't do it themselves, but they find a way to project blame. In doing so, in celebrating murderers and thugs, the modern left has completely perverted the moral order. They have excoriated the innocent, extolled the bad, and expressed a vile sickness that permeates their political platform.

In erecting this distorted conception of morality, where external and ostensibly positive aspects of society replace individual motivation as the primary cause of evil, the left no longer connects with any reasonable standard of humanity. In essence, they celebrate destruction as a means of maintaining their flimsy narrative, as in Matthew Yglesias' commentary on his own mugging. Fittingly, the modern left almost doesn't consider the humanity of whites or at least doesn't believe whites exist as moral beings independent of an inherited history of evil. I discussed this idea in a post entitled Racial Original Sin:

Because liberals consider whites as inherently corrupt beings, even benign predilections become fodder for censure. The author believes facial recognition is racist, even though he also accepts that it's natural, because he considers any deviation from the liberal racial paradigm as evil. Leftists then argue that one can exonerate himself of "original sin" through deeds like forced desegregation, support of unlimited immigration, support of affirmative action, and advancement of the basic hate-whitey ideals. Only then, when a white person has fully accepted his inherent depravity and rejected his presumed white privilege through deeds can he be considered a moral individual.

Above, I've spoken about leftists refusing to blame actual murderers, instead bringing up ancillary issues to deflect the focus. One such issue is the notion of forgiveness. Matt Lauer interviewed Carter Strange and his parents (you can just tell they're a nice, upstanding, working-class Southern family) on the Today Show. Mr. Lauer actually had the audacity to say this to the family:

It seems to me the defense so far is saying, 'Look these kids who are between the ages of 13 and 19 are basically good kids who did a very bad thing and made very bad judgments.' Do you feel that way?

I read a quote from the mother referring to the attackers as "animals." Unbelievably, Lauer also asks:

Carter, your dad has already said he finds it hard to find forgiveness in his heart, what about you?

An eighteen year-old kid is beaten to within an inch of his life and Lauer, along with the rest of liberal society, presumes that he will make a moral concession. Liberal society, which Lauer reflects, asks him such a question as he suffers through recovery. Why should innocent individuals find themselves responsible for the moral cleansing of these animals. From this, it seems modern Western society upholds "progress" over sense. Are we so enamored with our "enlightened" attitudes that we've lost a basic understanding of human dignity, of right and wrong?

In sum, I believe this recent spate of violent black mobs culminating with the Carter Strange beating, has illuminated the evil of modern leftism. And fortunately, essentially every single unmoderated comment section I've read is full of people understanding the same exact thing.
