The prevailing view of so much of the young left in America is that we’re the worst country ever, so if someone attacks us, they can’t be all bad.

THIS IS EUROPE IN 2026.

Terror supporters in Amsterdam openly displayed support for Hamas and Hezbollah.

Europe, wake up!

So much hate toward Israel on X this week. As a Frisian, I stand with Israel🙏

[DutchIrani @DutchIrani]

In the Netherlands, you’re not allowed to say the word “negerzoenen,” but you’re allowed to walk around with flags supporting Hamas, the Islamic Republic of Iran and even Hezbollah.

It makes sense if you think about it. Some older generations in the Netherlands still seem to believe that “the Jews” are the evil of the world.

Why? Jealousy? The Dutch have so much to be proud of. So why are we going backwards?

Our universities are being destroyed by pro-Palestina scum, while people openly walk around with flags of Hamas, the organisation that slaughtered people on October 7, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, the regime that slaughtered thousands of Iranians in January and continues to execute young Iranians.

The so-called silent majority is starting to seem just as deaf and blind as the people they refuse to confront.
This is straight up antisemitism and all of these people are complicit in crimes against humanity of these terrorists.

I’m embarrassed, sad and truly heartbroken to see what is happening to my Netherlands.

@DonArturito Dankzij de gebrekkige bezorging - na Zwolle stapt men over op paard en wagen, vervolgens fiets, dan nog een flink aantal kilometers lopen en tot slot een lange tocht met een trekschuit - krijgen die 3 abonnees in Hogebeintum e.o. de krant gelukkig pas begin 2027...

Als ob der Antisemitismus bei den Demonstrationen um den 7. Oktober nicht genug wäre:In Berlin wird ein 67-Jähriger in seinem Laden mehrfach mit Pfefferspray angegriffen. Zuvor hatte er Plakate gegen Judenhass aufgehängt. Genug um zum Feindbild zu werden.

Recht voor ons Nationaal Monument - de plek waar we slachtoffers van terreur herdenken - staat men ongestoord terreur toe te juichen.

En de politie? Die staat er naast en maakt er rustig foto's van.

[Walther Schoonenberg @WSchoonenberg]

Gisteren voelde ik mij erg onveilig en ongelukkig in mijn geboortestad Amsterdam. De pro-Hamas-motoren op het Rokin deden mij denken aan de intocht van de nazi's in de hoofdstad op 10 mei 1940. Toen en nu met sympathisanten langs de weg. Waarom wordt dit toegestaan?

[Eddy Terstall @eddy_terstall]

@MiesBee Ik zal nooit meer op een partij stemmen die ook maar enige ruimte geeft aan dit soort intimiderende islamisten en aanhang in mijn ooit vrije vrijzinnige stad. Ze herkennen fascisme niet wanneer het op hun drempel staat. Of zijn gewoon bang.

[Sam van Rooy MP @SamvanRooy1]

Amsterdam anno 2026: op ons grondgenied bevinden zich steeds meer vijanden van Joden, christenen, ongelovigen en alle vrijheidslieve mensen.

Als de overheid deze islamitische jihad blijft tolereren, zal onze – tolerante – samenleving vernietigd worden. 👇🏻

What the West Still Doesn’t Get It:

Communism’s True Core: The Systemic Lie

Most people in the West think they understand communism. They picture bread lines, gulags, failed five-year plans, and the collapsed Soviet Union. They treat it as a discredited economic theory – an experiment that proved that abolishing private property doesn’t work. Case closed, history moved on.

This misunderstanding may be the most dangerous intellectual failure of our time.

Communism was never primarily an economic system. Economics was the surface. Beneath it lay something far more insidious: a total, systemic, institutionalized commitment to lying. Not occasional dishonesty. Not spin or propaganda in the ordinary sense. Something deeper – a civilizational war against truth itself, waged through every institution, every classroom, every newspaper, every conversation, until reality itself became negotiable and the lie became the air people breathed.

The Words We’re Missing

The Polish language, forged by decades of living under this system, produced words for this phenomenon that English simply cannot match:

Zakłamanie [zah-kwah-MAH-nyeh] – a state of total, pervasive, socially embedded falsehood, a condition in which an entire society is saturated with lies so thoroughly that truth becomes almost inaccessible.
Obłuda [ob-woo-dah] – a deep, performative hypocrisy, the gap between what is proclaimed and what is actually practiced, the mask worn so long it begins to feel like a face.

These are not words for individual liars. They describe a system – a mode of social organization built on organized mendacity, where the lie is not the exception but the foundation. English has no single word for either concept, and that linguistic gap is not a coincidence. It reflects a gap in experience. Cultures that did not live under communism lack the vocabulary because they lack the wound.

And because they lack the vocabulary, they struggle to recognize the thing when it reappears in new clothing.

The Continuity: Communism, Leftism, Wokeism

What we call wokeism today, or the broader radical left, is not a new phenomenon. It is the same operating system running on updated hardware. The specifics have changed – instead of the proletariat, we have marginalized identity groups; instead of bourgeois class enemies, we have racists and transphobes; instead of socialist realism, we have DEI statements. But the deep structure is the same.

That deep structure is this: truth is not discovered, it is assigned. Reality is not something to be understood honestly but something to be narrated strategically. Language is not a tool for communication but a weapon of power. And anyone who resists the approved narrative is not simply wrong – they are dangerous, and must be silenced, shamed, or destroyed.

This is zakłamanie in its modern form. This is obłuda wearing a human rights badge.

The same movement that insists men can become women will insist, with equal fervor, that questioning this is an act of violence. The same institutions that claim to champion free inquiry systematically suppress dissent. The same people who invoke tolerance as their highest value are among the most intolerant forces in public life. The contradiction is not accidental – it is structural. It is the system working as designed.

Why the West Still Doesn’t Get It

People who grew up in freedom tend to assume, at some level, that bad actors know they are lying. That somewhere behind the ideological performance, there is a cynical operator who privately acknowledges reality. This assumption is wrong, and it is why Westerners consistently underestimate what they are dealing with.

The totalitarian lie, at its mature stage, is not cynical. It is believed. Or rather, it creates a condition in which the distinction between belief and performance collapses entirely. People learn to say things they do not believe so fluently, and for so long, that they lose access to what they actually think.
