We Have Been Subverted

If you’ve been paying attention to reactionary discourse and propaganda (e.g. from ARC forum), the perspective shared here will be familiar, but it’s useful to see it so clearly laid out – and to see how the same collapse signals are leading to very different conclusions for people. Ali introduces us to the tactics of subversion, courtesy of a former KGB agent, and how they have been employed in a “systematic and totalising way” to undermine and erode Western values. She asks “who is doing the subverting, who is trying to unravel America and the West?” In her view: “American Marxists… Radical Islamists… and The Chinese Communist Party,” with Vladimir Putin “waging his own subversion campaign by supporting and advancing the three other forces.” We are warned they are “promoting ideas that weaken the bonds between members of the family, promoting narcissistic individualism over family unity, creating financial stressors that discourage family formation (and) acrimony between the sexes”, and told that “a closed society is immune to subversion because it simply tells potential subverters to leave. Free and open societies cannot rely on this defence.” Whoever it is that is actually using the tactic, ‘divide and conquer’ seems to be working.
