No Need

Neocons have of course been mass murdering teenagers for quite some time, including British teenagers sent to the front lines of the wars to further their deranged and venal schemes. But note that, suddenly, this has become a problem, now that the victims are white and, unlike squaddies, middle-class.

Douglas Murray's Neoconservatism: Why We Need It manages not to mention Trotskyism or Max Shachtman at all in its supposed study of its subject; that's Leo Strauss for you, I suppose. And on page 170, we read that, "As soon as blond Swedish men get into the habit of plotting and committing acts of terrorism against Western society, then blond Swedish men should be stopped and searched."

So, that's still all right, then. Isn't it? Don't you believe it. These matters are in the hands of people who cannot tell an Arab from a Somali, from a South Asian, from, in one notable case, a Brazilian. So blond Norwegian men are by no means the only people who now need to give Britain a very wide berth indeed. Or have I missed something?
