McCarthyism was long decried by leftists.
But even if his practices were questionable, his aim was to protect his country from real and deadly aggressions, both inside and outside.
There is now a desire from of the same leftists (or extreme-leftists) to divide the so-called "civilized" nations with the same questionable methods, to weaken them by feeling guilt, by repentance of so-called crimes committed centuries ago. In "civilized" great nations, one is responsible against the law only for acts committed by oneself, not those committed by one's parents, grandparents or ancestors. Very odd, this reintroduction of this concept of "collective guilt" that has wreaked havoc, however, in the last century !
About these subversion techniques of society, I read (and understood, I think !) Antonio Gramsci's work, but is-it the case for everyone ?
Cheers.
