The following book was written by an author who lived under soviet tyranny and he makes many parallels to current state within USA. I don't think this topic is a balloon, I think it is helpful to explore the psychological conditioning that enables whites to ignore their own genocide and destruction of country and future. It also lends some ideas to how this may play out in a future soviet-style collapse, where nobody believes the "official dogma" any longer, but are forced to pay lip service in order to survive, until the entire system implodes. Sound familiar? Are we not all looking forward here, for a way out of this hole, anticipating and hoping to influence the future? Because the soviet tyranny fell, we can be hopeful that our own homegrown tyranny will also collapse. I believe we all want to play a part in making this happen. I am intrigued by the parallels...and the differences.
Homo americanus: Child of the Postmodern Age
Tomislav Sunic

(an excerpt from review:)
Sunic touches on the topic of white guilt that has plagued America for far too long. In his chapter, E Pluribus Dissensus: Exit European Americans, he describes some of the logic used to keep southern whites in a constant state of guilt and self-hate, and how similar actions have been used elsewhere as well:
"The end of the antebellum South can serve as a laboratory for studying the guilty feelings that European people have been subject to in early postmodernity. The social malady consisting in self-hate started in America after the Civil War, only to be re-enacted a hundred years later all over Europe and postmodern America. In early postmodernity, Europe and America participated in the same joint guilt trip that can only be atoned by financial gifts and excuses to non-Europeans. . . .
.. " As someone who has lived under communism and has seen firsthand the workings of state terror, Sunic is in a unique position to describe the current slide of America into what he aptly terms "soft totalitarianism." This regime is maintained less by brute force than by an unrelenting, enormously sophisticated, and massively effective campaign to contain political and cultural activity within very narrow boundaries. Dissenters are not trundled off to jail or beaten with truncheons, but are quietly ignored and marginalized. Or they are held up to public disgrace, and, wherever possible, removed from their livelihoods."
