No UK, America Did Not Create Meghan Markle
America’s history is intertwined with that of the original colonial system of England. Who can forget the history lessons taught from to us from a young age from the Boston tea party, to Paul Revere’s ride crowing “the British our coming”, or the shot heard ‘round the world. The complicated and yet close relationship between the two countries resembles something of a dysfunctional family fighting amongst another motley crew of wily, eccentric, in the daftest way possible call themselves sometimes the European Union.
Europe pretends to understand America because they themselves have McDonald’s, KFC, and the French version of Survivor. They can remember how Levi blue jeans and MTV put the final cracks in the Berlin wall. Yet, they could not be further from the understanding of America as Americans can understand the mating rituals of nomadic tribes of the indigenous people of Burundi.
Americans have a peculiar fascination with England in particular as their gateway to the understanding of Europe. They tend to think because we share a common language, we share common values and social norms which is completely false. The biggest thing Americans do not understand is England is not Europe and Europe is not Europe in the way that America is America.
Imagine for a moment California decided to issue its own currency, have its own financial markets, and for good measure decided that half of the state of Oregon now fell under its control. You hop on a train and head to the republic of Texas where good news you exchange your currency that can be used in any state other as well as Texas (not California and half of Oregon). The bad news is no one speaks English they speak Texan and drive on the opposite side of the road.
You decide to travel to Florida and on the way stop in Arkansas and discover 40% of the people speak Texan, 50% speak Floridian, and 10% speak the native dialect of Arkansasian. The Texas people do not care for the Florida people and the Florida people do not care for the Texas people and the Arkansasian people do not care for either. The official government language is conducted in native Arkansasian and it is mandated all signs must read in Arkansasian, Texan, & Floridian.
The biggest thing all US, UK, and the EU really do not get about each other is the aftermath of 2 World Wars on European soil in the last century and how depending on your geographical upbringing has wildly differing accounts in each history book. The EU and its member nations were and are right to be concerned about the conditions that caused the world wars. The Frankfurt school began in Germany following the first world war and then came to New York during the Nazi reign.
By the 1950’s when many of the Frankfurt school members returned to their native West Germany some chose to stay behind and further their work on their Marxist thought experiments in social engineering. For decades this vile brew was allowed to fester on college campuses until one day it was unleashed on American useful idiots by a kooky 70-year-old unremarkable Senator from Vermont.
Bernie Sanders was the vessel the adherents to Adorno, Marcuse, and Fromm needed to bring their rotten ideas to the popularity amongst the low information voters. This is how you have a mediocre actress from a network television show injecting the racism pill into the monarchy. America may be the leader in infections of this mind virus, but it is neither its creator nor its cause. Only Europe and more particular the UK need to look in the mirror and decide how to moderate against cultural Marxism.
