Universalism and the Suicide of the West, By Brian Simpson
Christopher Roach has a must-read article attacking the meta-principle, or foundation of modern malignant liberalism, universalism, that universal equality holds, so that one's moral obligations to one's self, family, community and nation are equal to those of distant Third World people. This idea stands behind the liberal Left philosophy of mass immigration, where local people do not count relative to the potential millions, if not billions, of the Third World. As well, anti- White racism, the idea that Whites having racial sentiment like other races is wrong, is also based upon this idea.
So what is its refutation? Roach writes: "Missing from this crusading idea was any recognition of the human terrain. People are different. Fitness for self-government depends upon certain traits of culture and character that are themselves revealed only when such a government is a product of a people's own efforts and struggles. The democracies we imposed on Iraq and Afghanistan quickly became illiberal and unstable because they were not the product of an organic growth but were instead imposed upon them by an overly idealistic and hubristic United States.
The same hubris lies behind much of the immigration-charity industrial complex. Advocates conflate our obligations to foreigners with our obligations to our neighbors and to our people. Indeed, they reverse these obligations because the people running these operations are not merely indifferent but actively hostile to Americans and their welfare.
We saw this hostility vividly in the Biden administration's utter failure to assist the people of North Carolina after the devastating floods, even while boatloads of money were spent on assisting illegal immigrants to thrive and pursue fraudulent asylum claims.
Everything the government does needs to be subject to a microscope and to the scythe. In other words, everything it does and funds should be presumptively shut down until examined very closely and proven to be necessary. We are no longer as wealthy in relative terms as we once were, and, even if we could afford all of these things, a government is not supposed to undermine its own people's welfare to benefit another's in the pursuit of a false morality that puts strangers above one's own community."
But what about Christianity, doesn't it that presuppose universalism as well? To this Roach replies: "Christianity does not require the destruction of nations. While a certain amount of universalism is presaged by the Christian faith, the individual obligations we have to the poor as Christians cannot be made abstract and taken over by a behemoth, managerial state. Rather, charity must spring from the heart and be limited by countervailing obligations to those whom one is commanded by scripture to look after first: one's family, one's children, and one's nation."
That is important to keep in mind as the globalists and Leftists gear up for millions of so-called climate change refugees, who will merely be, Third World people seeking more resources. It will be impossible for the standard of living we now have, itself under threat, to survive such a Camp of the Saints invasion contemplated by the Left and Greens.
