When You Have Forgotten Our Story, Your Only Ethic is Survival: The Rise of White Supremacy and the Importance of History
My thesis is: When you forget our collective history, and its true part of God's unfolding in this world, you're only left with an ethic of survival. The ineluctable connection of history and purpose is so well known to those on the far right and the far left, that their common tactic is that they must lie about history and create an alternative history that is false. Whether you're a gullible skinhead, a fervent Jew whose only ethic is Jewish or Israel survival, or a leftist who insists that every historical story is a constructed narrative that does nothing more than mask the only reality which is a power play of winners and losers, you only achieve the aim by lying, by lying about the facts, and thereby lying about God's role in history, which forms the very basis for the purposes that America and Judaism stand for.
