All cultures and people groups on earth inhabit lands that were stolen from some previous inhabitants. Wars, conquests and forceful agreements have been the recorded history of mankind(oops am I allowed to say that anymore?), such is the revealed nature of humanity, proving for one thing the falseness of the Rousseauian doctrine of 'born innocent' and instead illustrating the biblical 'born to sin' doctrine.
However the only culture on the planet being made to apologise for its existence is Western culture, arguably the one which has bought the maximum benefit to the globe and from whom most of the inhabitants of the earth appropriate to some measure.
There exists a form of suicidal schizophrenia in the West where the neo-Gramscians who have gained control of the institutions view Western history(aka the Judeo-Christian culture) through an elitist, evolutionary, contemporary lens which condemns all who came before as ignoramuses, colonialists, slavers, conquerors etc and thus worthy of having their statues pulled down and their names erased from the history books, all in the manner of Winston Smith. I do believe C S Lewis called it 'chronological snobbery'.
The suicidal schizophrenia comes in when these same 'contemporary colonialist/conquerors' then elevate 'indigenous' or 'ancient' pagan cultures and/or failed modern ideologies such as socialism and communism to places of honour and superiority thus effectively replacing an historically affirmed, successful and beneficial culture(with acknowledged issues!) with historically diabolical and disastrous ones.
It not only makes the historically literate person think, it makes one question the motives behind this attack on Western values and mores.
Destroy the West, the one independent, freedom affirming, cultural worldview that stands in the way of global domination by an elite oligarchy perhaps?
