Straight White Men: The New Political Refugees
My Trump Vote Is Your Fault, Leftists
Kangaroo Court:
It’s a tale as old as time… Boy grows up in pleasant suburbia, coasts effortlessly from K-12 on his biologically inherited academic gifts, and lands a spot in a topish-tier university’s Business Economics program. Boy, discriminated against by a cabal of Marxist-Liberalist professors for his brave stance against the intersectionalist zeitgeist lunacy, ultimately graduates with a C+ in his sociology general ed course, effectively (but not unintentionally) blacklisting him from his rightful spot in the upper echelons of academia where legends like Friedman, Sowell, and Mises charted a path now threatened by the weeds of pseudointellectual overgrowth.
These “academics” champion an Oppression Olympics known as intersectionality, a theory uncritically espousing the claim that “aspects of one’s identity interact with each other to create new systems of dominance that are unique to the simultaneous presence of those identities.” Sound like a bunch of nonsense? Better not tell your professor, or they’ll recommend you “stop skipping lecture to play Apex Legends” and uncharitably dismiss you without engaging with your arguments.
We’ve all borne witness to the insatiable lynch mobs desperately attempting to mischaracterize and smear any top academic who speaks out against similar community orthodoxies; Ben Shapiro, Jordan B. Peterson, Sam Harris, and Dave Rubin have all felt the sting of these odious attacks that venture well beyond the substantive to enter the personal or petty. These critics have long-been canaries in the intellectual coal mine, and the gaslight is on. They’ve bravely pointed out that, ironically, college campuses are no longer safe spaces, and triggered liberals will shout down anyone just for intentionally misgendering them, pontificating on pro-racial profiling thought experiments, or raising innocuous questions about which groups control the media. There’s plenty of diversity of skin color, but zero diversity of phrenological thought.
The Females:
Females, especially, are the main culprits of this rapid subversion of cultural norms. Under the banner of a sinister, corrosive force called “feminism” — a term co-opted by third-wave radicals from true feminists like myself in an attempt to masquerade as an agreeable egalitarian movement championing “nothing more than gender-blind social and economic institutions” — females seek to shame all men who refuse to capitulate to their incessant cries for a world in which women aren’t responsible for a disproportionate share of uncompensated labor, don’t fear frontlash in their careers for presenting as fertile, and won’t be interrogated by unrelated third parties while opening up about experiences with sexual violence.
Feminazis continue to parrot debunked talking points like the gender wage gap, forgetting that these disparities are the fault of women who choose, for entirely unpredictable reasons, not to enter rigorous and high-paying STEM fields with men like myself. They choose to shelf their careers to raise children, and male hiring managers rationally and logically respond to this trend by promoting their male counterparts instead, entirely unable to predict whether female applicants will go baby-crazy and “request time off to care for the generation that will inherit this Earth.”
Today, however, the spiteful backlash against mankind’s benevolent hegemony has led women to weaponize their reproductive monopoly power and, to use economics jargon, place an artificial price floor on child-rearing, thus distorting the sexual marketplace and robbing countless young men of their right to intercourse. Intersectionalists cry out for public policy to address social inequalities, yet are deafeningly silent on the gross inequality of male vs. female unfuckability.
Seeking Asylum:
Straight white men have, historically, found their home in the progressive movement. Whether abolishing slavery, granting women’s suffrage, or allowing the gays to marry each other, straight white men have been drivers of social progress, trickling altruism down from nearly every notable position of power since the inception of the United States. It is unfortunate, then, that these ungrateful modern “academics,” who appear to have more in common with Antifa than with the soul of the Classically Liberal progressive movement, appeal to semantic questions like, “Who architected those systems of oppression to begin with?” Truly low-class, but this pathological need to right the inherited injustices of history has created a crisis of sectarian persecution among liberals that victimizes cishet white men, forcing them to flee this modern Kristallnacht.
No longer can they encourage minority communities to work harder and take personal responsibility for their circumstances. No longer can they help clarify what their female coworkers are trying to say in meetings for the sake of efficiency. No longer can they engage in harmless locker room chatter, for they are even crucified for actions in their private life. There is no solace for cishet white men, and so they are forced to turn to the only movements that will accept them — movements headed up by crasser individuals like Donald Trump and Steve King. They are refugees without a home, but the Trump movement is accepting of all such political refugees.
While these individuals don’t often agree with everything these movement figureheads think, it is certainly preferable to the alternative of being asked to “acknowledge and correct for historical injustices that continue to create unequal access to opportunity.” Slavery was abolished outside of prisons, women can vote outside of workplaces, and transpeople can do whatever they want as long as it’s not using their preferred bathroom or getting a job or renting an apartment or looking a certain way.
The effects of this persecution are far-reaching, as cishet white men, once champions of democracy not only domestically but also in regions like Central and Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South, East, North, West, and Southwest and Central Africa, can no longer carry the mantle of global freedom watchdog. They are the victims of a pseudo-cultural coup d’état, and the wider world may soon feel the ripple effects of this historically unprecedented refugee crisis.
Universal healthcare, expanded access to higher education, universalized civil rights, and a world at peace — these issues unite us, but they mean nothing at all if cishet white men cannot pass Sociology 1A.
