Jamie on the moral hypocrisy of Decentists and other Western Triumphalists
Ah, fuck ’em. Stalin’s their daddy. Everyone’s wrestling with the uncomfortable but persistent suspicion that it took Stalin to beat Hitler: it’s the big open dirty secret of World War two historiography. Stalin murdered millions of people to get the Soviet Union in some sort of shape to resist Hitler, millions more died in the struggle and his price was the life, liberty, and property of the people of Eastern Europe, which we were in no position to refuse him but which we gave him anyway. And then the Palestinians get stiffed with the bill for hundreds of years of European anti-semitism. Now we sit on top of this huge pile of corpses crowing about how our liberty makes us an example to the world, like lottery winners preaching enterprise to the starving.
I really do dislike the whole tribe of Westernists, right or pseudo left, even when I’m not drunk.
