Second, what the hell does tax policy have to do with cultural issues?

Its the only tool that can be used to control a population, before the onset of outright marshall law.

And who is in charge of that now, 1960-90's SJW's.

Tax policy has a lot of do with cultural issues, take the different effects of the married-filing-jointly tax filing category in the USA. It actually penalizes both spouses working by pushing them into a higher tax bracket, but benefits stay-at-home mom (or dad) families.

The Earned Income Tax credit encourages lower-skilled and lower-wage people to get a job rather than totally try to milk the welfare system.

Tax incentives for industrial development can end up radically changing a culture - Ireland 1970 - 2008 is a primo example.

Bottom line: tax policy shapes employment, consumption and savings, all of which have downstream cultural effects.

It affects all facets of society, most of all, businesses ability to grow, hire and expand the economy. Its much easier to control when your the one controlling the bread line. The SJW's in charge of taxing you have a societal agenda to push. What a remarkable system.

There is no truth, only competing agendas.

I believe this is written at the entrance to hell

George Patton was right. We should have armed the German people after their defeat and invaded Moscow. I honestly believe that the most evil empire was victorious in WWII, the Soviet Union.

It was a sci-fi wet dream of western bureaucrats that had no foundation in reality. Stalin was spawning division after division in the last days of war, not to mention that output of tanks and aicraft was insane. Plus, Hitler started war near Brest-Litovsk. Allies would have to start in Austria.

What was the point of it all? The Anglosphere entered WWII because Germany invaded Poland and what became of the war was that Poland was delivered on a silver platter to the Soviets.

It's bullshit that far right wingers are feeding the generations with. Reality was, Hitler conquered France and was about to invade Soviet Union. If he succeeded, there was no second chance for Anglosphere, because Anglosphere would be done with. With Singapore and Asia gone, and Germany supplied with infinite amount of Soviet fuel, UK had no possibility to keep middle-east and Africa. As Hitler put it himself, the old order would be gone, and new order would emerge, where large nations (Hitler wanted Germany to become one, by conquering much of Europe) would compete for global domination. Smaller and weaker would be annihilated.

The real truth is that Nazism is evil because it killed 6 million Jews but

Nazism killed 6 million Jews, 15 million Russians, 1.5 million Serbs, 2+ million of Poles, hundreds of thousands of French, British, American, and so on.

Communism only killed 100 million political dissidents.

That's where irony of brutality lies. Communism was lesser evil, because it did not chose it's victims by nationality or religion. Sounds funny, but that's how people actually think

Another consequence of Stalin’s meme war is that today’s left-wing antiwar demonstrators wear kaffiyehs without any sense of how grotesque it is for ostensible Marxists to cuddle up to religious absolutists who want to restore the power relations of the 7th century CE.

The real consequence of the Stalin's meme war is that we still don't understand that Hitler was right or that 6 million Jews did not die in "death camps" or that there is no contradiction at all that a Marxist would wear a kaffiyeh. None whatsoever.

The real consequence of Stalin's meme war is that such a comment as above will cause an aneurism in 95% of the members of modern "Western" Civilization.

But we're adults and we can handle it.

Get a load of this guy.

We are swimming in lies. That's the point of memetic warfare. You think you're going to waltz away from an orchestrated 70 year propaganda attack without dealing with some profoundly uncomfortable truths? Truths so unbearable it's nearly impossible to accept them?

Germany was right. "Communists" infiltrated Britain and the US and led them to war against their best interests. The worst of the lot (at the time) won, and we helped them, and now we have become them. How did that happen? Memetic warfare.

The fact that you're unwilling to question existing false memes regarding WW2 doesn't mean they don't exist. It just means you agree with how they currently sit. Cool. But it's only one side of the story. A side of the story that needs to use police-state tactics to avoid being questioned, by the way. People are ARRESTED in western countries for questioning the communist line (that Germany was evil).

The essayist in the OP is playing his own memetic warfare game. As is the MSM, as has the MSM since its inception. If you aren't deeply uncomfortable in confronting the lies you've been told, you aren't confronting them. And that, ultimately, is the point of communist memetic warfare.

I threw my prior post out there for those truly willing to see the bigger picture. Nobody is going to be talked into it, but they may be led there on their own.

Of what I speak is where the world is currently finding truth.

Get a load of yourself, bud.
