You know, you’ve got to hand it to “white supremacists” and “right-wing extremists”: not only are they more diverse than the average Green party meeting, they’re apparently more literate, civilised and cultured, too.

According to no less an impeccably-woke source than The Daily Beast, “Young men of colour are joining white-supremacist groups”. CNN blithers about “white supremacy with a tan”. Enrique Tarrio is smeared as a “white supremacist”, despite being, well, Cuban and black.

Damn, “white supremacists” have made Martin Luther King Jr’s dream come true: they judge people, not by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character.

Add to that, they’re apparently educated and cultured, too.

Some of the UK’s most beloved TV shows have been flagged by counter terror programme Prevent.

Hit shows like Yes Minister and The Thick Of It and even Michael Portillo‘s Great British Railway Journeys were bizarrely described as “encouraging far-right sympathies”.

Meanwhile, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare were placed on a list of “key texts” for white supremacists.

Who knew, though, that the BBC itself was a hotbed of far-right extremism?

Works from BBC’s 1990s political thriller House of Cards to classic film The Dambusters to John le Carre‘s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy made the rankings […]

Historian and broadcaster Andrew Roberts told the Daily Mail: “This is truly extraordinary. This is the reading list of anyone who wants a civilised, liberal, cultured education.

“It includes some of the greatest works in the Western canon and in some cases – such as Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent – powerful critiques of terrorism. Burke, Huxley, Orwell and Tolkien were all anti-totalitarian writers.”

“This is the reading list of anyone who wants a civilised, liberal, cultured education”

In such a bizarro, clown world, it’s hardly surprising that gibbering nutcases like Kate Hannah spew such bananas nonsense as that preferring healthy food, or braiding blond little girls’ hair, are signs of “right-wing extremism”.

The list comes after a damning review into Prevent by William Shawcross.

Mr Shawcross found that the scheme applied a “double standard” to Islamist terror threats compared to far-right issues.

His report said that Prevent had highlighted material that “fall well short of the extremism threshold altogether”.

It added that the programme had prioritised right-wing terrorism over its Islamist counterpart.

Shawcross would know a thing or two about actual extremism. His father was Chief Prosecutor for the United Kingdom at the Nuremberg trials.

But the critics of this unhinged report, correct as they are, are missing the essential point.

Prevent isn’t even trying to prevent actual extremism. Its real agenda is as obvious as its derangement.

Note, after all, the obvious common thread of the works it has attacked: every single one of them, from Shakespeare to Tolkien, Burke, Orwell and Huxley, is a peak cultural achievement of indigenous — which is to say, white — British culture. These are also the foundational works of liberal democracy.

Dismantling all of that is the stated aim of the Marxist Long March through the Institutions. Prevent is just another footsoldier in the ranks of a war on the West that has been waged unceasingly for the last 50 years. They’ve occupied every redoubt from academia to big business.

Now, they’re diligently sapping at the very foundations of the tottering tower of Western liberalism.

These are the worst people in the world — so, be everything they don’t want you to be.

These are the worst people in the world — so, be everything they don’t want you to be. Read or watch every single work on the Marxist Index Librorum Prohibitorum.

You are guaranteed to emerge, not only as not an extremist, but a civilised, liberal and cultured being.
