The Decline of the West

Plato, Aristotle, Loomer, Herodotus are amongst the names engraved on the frieze of Columbia’s Butler Library. The bane of the Multiculturalist movement is Western White Male Culture.Aeschylus Socrates, Shakespeare are the hegemons. Saul Bellow famous countered with his famous “who was the Shakespeare of the Zulus?" Bellow would be removed from the Unuversity of Chicago’s Committee on Social Thought were he alive today—the university’s notorious stubbornness about free speech not withstanding. Still history creates strange bedfellows. Remember how anti-pornography feminists like Andrea Dworkin bonded with fundamentalist Christians. Now ironically MAGA and DEI have their triggers aimed at the same thing—Western Culture! But here’s the problem. Trump has appointment himself head of the Kennedy Center, but what’s going to be on the bill. You can’t have the classics which represent Harvard and Columbia, but you also can’t feature August Wilson who's too DEI. Jackie Robinson was even a bridge too far for Pete Heseth when he took over the Defense Department (his webpage was removed and restored). Maybe  Clint Eastwood is a good beach head. Dirty Harry will appeal to the MAGA anti-gun control and Ivy League film society third alike.
