Anti-Western resistance, from the Counterculture to 21st century

I came across these excerpts from a 70s era interview of Alice
Cooper the other day and quite liked what I read:
HTML https://arroseinaprose.org/2018/06/14/alice-cooper-was-a-legit-gay-bi-pan-ally-back-in-the-70s/
[quote][W]e get all these letters saying “Alice is a fag!” I’m
sure you get them too. How do you account for that?
To some extent, I must admit, we do encourage that impression.
But I’m not a “fag” – you know I don’t like the word “fag”
because it’s insulting to gay people.[/quote]
[quote]Would you admit it if you were homosexual?
Of course, and I wouldn’t just admit it, as if it were something
you’re supposed to conceal. I’d just be it. I’d be natural about
it, and I don’t see where it would be very much different for
me, except I’d be making it with men instead of women.[/quote]
[quote]Well, now you’re back to categories. You’re asking me if
I could go from one category to another category. So far, my
sexual desires and experiences have been orientated towards
girls of my own race and age. But someday I might meet a guy
that I’d flip out for, or an older person, or a black or yellow
person. And I would hope that there would be no barriers between
us, and that our feelings towards each other would just flow
like water from a fountain. I’m not straining to make this
happen – because that would be unnatural too. I’m just saying it
might happen, and if it does, I’ll be open enough to take it as
it comes.[/quote]
He also senses that there might be something wrong with the
traditional Western-style family:
[quote]Then what happens to such institutions as marriage and
the family?
Look what’s happening to them now – they’re in terrible shape.
More than half of all marriages end in divorce, and all families
seem to end with the children wanting out by the time they’re
14. These institutions are a mess, they need some shaking
up.[/quote]

The Judaic western family IS such a mess when taking an unbiased
'from the outside looking in' look at it I cannot take anyone
who promotes this institution as the end-all be-all to our
problems, or who believe the family unit is the original
building block of the nation-state, seriously in any matter.
These types of people demonstrate with their praise of the
western family the fact that they do not understand the root
causes of most of our biggest problems as a society, whether it
be cultural, spiritual, or mental\psychological. And lastly, to
offer up the western family unit as the foundation block of the
state and as the cure to all of our society's issues is founded
in laziness and ignorance. We got to the place we are now
BECAUSE of the western family unit, it certainly could never be
the cure!!!

for."[441][/quote]

Not sure whether this wasn't already featured on the old blog or
the main site as well, but Bowie also once remarked about
wanting to become Britain's fascist-nationalist leader:
HTML https://www.bowiebible.com/1976/04/26/david-bowie-britain-could-benefit-from-a-fascist-leader/
[quote]As I see it I am the only alternative for the premier in
England. I believe Britain could benefit from a fascist leader.
After all, fascism is really nationalism.[/quote]
Also, his fascination with fascism, nationalism and National
Socialism seemed to run deeper than mere banter:
[quote]However, he had been making references to Nazism for some
time, and earlier in April 1976 had been stopped at the
Russia-Poland border where Nazi literature and memorabilia were
confiscated by officials.[/quote]
Finally, there is 'V-2 Schneider' of his classic 'Heroes'-album
(I'd link it, but unfortunately YouTube isn't working at the
moment. Check it out, it's a well arranged, largely instrumental
piece backed by a cool marching beat). What does 'V-2' refer to?
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-2_rocket
[quote]The V-2 (German: Vergeltungswaffe 2, "Retribution Weapon
2"), with the technical name Aggregat 4 (A4), was the world's
first long-range guided ballistic missile. The missile, powered
by a liquid-propellant rocket engine, was developed during the
Second World War in Germany as a "vengeance weapon" and assigned
to attack Allied cities as retaliation for the Allied bombings
against German cities.[/quote]
I love Bowie and his music.

Alice Cooper is a defender of Johnny Depp, a wife-beating
degenerate and drug-addict that refuses to live a frugal
lifestyle. Cooper deserves no praise.

Depp is, also, friends with Marilyn Manson, which alone says a
lot.

I wasn't praising him. I like what he has to say about being
attracted to the individual, not their gender, ethnicity, age et
al., as well as his stance on the traditional family. That is
all.

Anti-Western resistance, from the Counterculture to 21st century
By: Zea_mays Date: January 31, 2022, 9:26 pm

Fighting back against Western Civilization works, and fighting
spirit was not limited merely to the pre-Counterculture era!
(Also, Western Civilization didn't become any less bloodthirsty
after the colonial era ended. It is still willing to bayonet
14-year-olds in order to build a golf course.)
[quote]The Oka Crisis (French: Crise d'Oka),[8][9][10] also
known as the Kanesatake Resistance,[1][11][12] was a land
dispute between a group of Mohawk people and the town of Oka,
Quebec, Canada, which began on July 11, 1990, and lasted 77 days
until September 26, 1990, with two fatalities. The dispute was
the first well-publicized violent conflict between First Nations
and the Canadian government in the late 20th century.
[...]
In March 1989, the Club de golf d'Oka announced plans to expand
the golf course by an additional nine holes. As the Office of
Native Claims had rejected the Mohawk claim on the land three
years earlier, his office did not consult the Mohawk on the
plans. No environmental or historic preservation review was
undertaken. Protests by Mohawks and others, as well as concern
from the Quebec Minister of the Environment, led to negotiations
and a postponement of the project by the municipality in August
pending a court ruling on the development's legality.
[...]
The SQ deployed their Emergency Response Team (ERT), a police
tactical unit, which responded to the barricade by deploying
tear gas canisters and concussion grenades[36][23] in an attempt
to force the Mohawk to disperse. In response, gunfire ensued
from both sides,[36] and after a 15-minute gun battle the police
fell back, abandoning six cruisers and a bulldozer.
[...]
Before the raid, there were approximately 30 armed Mohawk in and
around the barricade; following the gun battle, this number grew
to 60–70 and would later swell to 600.[2] The Mohawks seized six
vehicles, including four police cars, and commandeered the
front-end loader to crush the vehicles and use them to form a
new barricade across Route 344.[37]
[...]
This stand-down eventually contributed to the resolution of the
original siege on the Kahnawake reserve, and on September 26 the
Mohawks there dismantled and burned some of their weapons.
During the surrender, as the military began arresting land
defenders and some began to flee, 14-year-old Waneek Horn-Miller
was stabbed near the heart by a Canadian bayonet, and nearly
died.[42][28]
[...]
The golf course expansion that had originally triggered the
crisis was cancelled and the land under dispute was purchased
from the developers by the federal government for $5.3
million.[1]
[...]
Anarchist author and activist Peter Gelderloos said that the Oka
Crisis should serve as a model for activists to get what they
want for four reasons.[49]
"It succeeded in seizing space.
It spread ideas of indigenous sovereignty and inspired
many others in North America to fight back.
It did not have elite support.
The golf course expansion on their lands was defeated,
and the conflict came to a dignified conclusion for the
Mohawk."[/quote]

[quote]On Sept. 26, the day an end the standoff was negotiated,
the teenager was leaving the treatment centre in Kanesatake
carrying her 4-year-old sister, Kaniehtiio, when she was stabbed
close to the heart by a soldier carrying a bayonet.
Horn-Miller later launched a human rights complaint but was
unsuccessful because, she says, she was unable to identify the
soldier.
[...]
After the stabbing her mother told her, “I never raised you to
be anybody’s victim,” Horn-Miller recalls. “It was exactly what
I needed to hear because if I had given up then I would be
giving up my dream to that person who stabbed me.”[/quote]

[quote]The Rotisken’rakéhte,[2] also known as the Mohawk Warrior
Society (Mohawk: Rotisken’rakéhte) and the Kahnawake Warrior
Society, is a Mohawk group that seeks to assert Mohawk authority
over their traditional lands, including the use of tactics such
as roadblocks, evictions, and occupations.[3]
The society was founded in 1971 in Kahnawake, Québec, Canada.[4]
It first gained notoriety in 1973 when they, along with American
Indian Movement activists, held a standoff with the Quebec
Provincial Police at Kahnawake, and another in Oka, Québec in
1990.[3] The members of this society are known as
Warriors.[/quote]

‘I Promised Brando I Would Not Touch His Oscar’: The Secret Life
of Sacheen Littlefeather
[quote]In 1973, she made history at the Academy Awards,
appearing in place of Marlon Brando, declining his statuette and
making a speech about Native American rights. She has been
speaking out ever since.[/quote]
HTML https://pocket-syndicated-images.s3.amazonaws.com/62841a6fbda6e.jpg
[quote]When the presenter, Roger Moore, attempts to hand
Littlefeather Brando’s Oscar she holds out her hand as if to
push it away. She explains that Brando cannot accept the award
because of “the treatment of American Indians today by the film
industry”. The crowd interrupts her, half-applauding,
half-booing. “Excuse me,” she says calmly, then continues: “And
on television and movie reruns, and also with recent happenings
at Wounded Knee.” At the time, Wounded Knee, in South Dakota,
was the site of a month-long standoff between Native American
activists and US authorities, sparked by the murder of a Lakota
man. Littlefeather ends her speech begging that “in the future,
our hearts and our understandings will meet with love and
generosity”.[/quote]
[quote]However valid Brando’s charge of the way Hollywood
stereotyped Native Americans, it did not go down well that
night. John Wayne, serial slaughterer of Native Americans
on-screen and self-professed white supremacist off it, just
happened to be in the wings during Littlefeather’s speech.
“During my presentation, he was coming towards me to forcibly
take me off the stage, and he had to be restrained by six
security men to prevent him from doing so.” Presenting best
picture soon after (also for The Godfather), Clint Eastwood
quipped: “I don’t know if I should present this award on behalf
of all the cowboys shot in all the John Ford westerns over the
years.” When Littlefeather got backstage, she says, there were
people making stereotypical Native American war cries at her and
miming chopping with a tomahawk. After talking to the press, she
went straight back to Brando’s house where they sat together and
watched the reactions to the event on television.[/quote]
