A delusion amongst many “conservatives” is that the modern left is essentially FDR but without the overt and covert connections to communism.1 This is the sort of thinking buoyed by Establishment appeals to “bipartisan” legislation, and the absurd Reagan line that “We don't have enemies, we have opponents.”
Nothing could be further than the truth. While that might have been true in McKinley’s day, with Republicans and Democrats supporting more or less the same thing, it’s become ever less true since FDR. Americans do indeed have internal enemies, and those enemies want to destroy them.
Such is shown by a piece of “art” that was made in 2024, but has risen to the fore given the left’s current campaign of domestic terror against Tesla. The “art” is a chiseled Mesoamerican head, one without any of the fine detail associated with European statuary, crushing a Tesla Model 3. The “artist,” meanwhile, sits with his arms folded on the crushed vehicle, glowering.
If there is a symbol of what the left wants, it is this: a poorly wrought symbol of an illiterate tribe crushing a finely made symbol of highly advanced technological civilization. It accomplishes nothing, is absurd given that buying a Tesla just to crush it only benefits Tesla,2 and is ridiculous given that a crane — another tool and symbol of modern society — likely had to be used to get the head on top of the car.
Listen to the audio version of this article here:
It’s almost too on the nose. A symbol of immense technological progress and a pro-civilization mindset, a symbol of making it first to space and then to Mars, crushed under the weight of the representation of some horrific society that remained stuck in the Stone Age when the Athenians were building the Parthenon3…that seems like The Camp of the Saints-tier propaganda.4 But rather than be ashamed over or embarrassed by the sullen Mexican subversive destroying what he couldn’t create, the left supports it, championing the Stone Age against civilization as a “visual battle between indigenous identity and modern exploitation.”5
Therein lies the rot, and the problem.
The great advances we have made require competence. Semi-conductors, for example, are so advanced they seem magical.6 They’re also the backbone of modern civilization.7 They are also impossible to build in America, as even liberal outlets like The Hill admit,8 because DEI has made it impossible. Even with billions of dollars in government subsidies, it’s simply too difficult to bake the chips with immense precision, or even create the facilities in which they would be baked, when DEI is weighing down the process like a millstone around our neck in the middle of the Pacific. As The Hill’s article on the matter notes, China appears set to invade the island that makes most semi-conductors in just a few years, yet the American government has prioritized forcing those who would relocate here to hire “justice-involved individuals” (felons) and “increase the participation of economically disadvantaged individuals in the semiconductor workforce.”9
So, if that reaches its inevitable logical conclusion, we will follow the path of South Africa10 or Zimbabwe11 and go from being an advanced civilization to one that uses candles because electricity is once again too far beyond the realm of the possible. Much like the Tesla in the art display, we will, if present trends continue, find ourselves crushed under the immense millstone represented by the poorly carved head of some indigenous Mesoamerican tribe.
Hopefully that will be avoided. President Trump, DOGE, and Pete Hegseth have started waging war on the DEI apparatus.12 Perhaps they will succeed.
But while the right is gradually finding its footing and learning how to push back against the indigenous, Stone Age head trying to crush it and the civilization it wants to preserve, the left has gone all in on the anti-civilizational race communism of the sort symbolized by the head and shown by our DEI policies.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX, for example, just rescued two astronauts left stranded on the International Space Station by pro-DEI Biden and Boeing. That was a historic mission, using both SpaceX’s privately developed, reusable Falcon 9 rocket and a privately developed space capsule. It is an immensely beneficial capability for America, and indeed Faustian Western civilization generally, that we wouldn’t have had without Elon’s ingenuity and perseverance. But it is also one the left has attacked relentlessly for not being “diverse” enough;13 it even got sued for not hiring enough “refugees,”14 as if Haitians make good rocket scientists. Tesla faces the same attacks.15
What matters to them is not that the car, the reusable rockets, or the 40-story rockets that can reach Mars and then be reused are hugely successful, innovative, and beautiful works of high-tech art. If that even registers in their addled brains at all, it is seen as a negative…as it was for Chavis Marmol and his Olmec rock.16 Rather, what matters is that the stone head of the “Indigenous” Stone Age, the envious millstone of race communism, must crush everything opposed to it so that the world is a leveled, egalitarian place.17 This is the same reason the same sorts of people protested the Apollo missions, after all, with protesters like the ones seen below and songs like “Whitey on the Moon” (which was played to Indigenous bongo drums)18 characterizing the opposition to national feats of greatness:
We can’t have both. We can’t have anti-civilization, “equity”-based destruction of everything more advanced than a femur bone wielded as a club on one hand and corporations that are set to settle planets on the other. The two mix like oil and water, being diametrically opposed to each other.
So, we face a time for choosing. Will we embrace what is represented by SpaceX and Tesla — greatness, aesthetic beauty, and feats of technological brilliance and daring beyond anything seen before? Or will we embrace the global favela — the spirit, smell, and aesthetic of the steaming, putrid air of a decaying village in Dahomey?19
The left wants to embrace Dahomey, embrace the Stone Age. The vacant eyes of the resentful “Indigenous” artist as his large rock crushes a symbol of engineering excellence shows this spirit, and their praise shows the broad acceptance of it. It would mean a worldwide acceptance of what killed the CHIPS Act, a decision to backslide into a favela rather than accomplish noble and magnificent deeds. This is what the majority of the Cold War and years since it were about,20 and what those tentacles of stultifying Stone Age sullenness would now drag us into faster than we could ever escape from it, even if flying away on Elon’s rockets.
On the other hand, we could choose to reject disorder, reject third-worldism in all its noxious forms, and turn towards the bright future on the horizon, one that consists of colonizing the Red Planet while protecting Arcadia on Earth. In other words, we could choose to smash the Olmec head and all it represents rather than let it crush the Tesla and what the resentful third-worldists think of when they see it.
But we do have enemies in that struggle. Those on the “conservative” side who would put Section 8 housing in pristine Western lands — as Doug “Bugman” Burgum was claiming he wants to do this week21 — are the enemy. Those who have destroyed our ability to do anything impressive on a grand scale with South Africa-style DEI mandates22 are the enemy. Those who empathize with “Whitey on the Moon” and would see an Olmec head dropped on every rocket in the name of equity are the enemy. We can have their world or a better one, but getting the better one means first defeating them.

For those somehow still in the dark: FDR’s administration was essentially one of, by, and for communists. Diana West lays this out well in American Betrayal. Sean McMeekin discusses it in a less controversial way in Stalin’s War. Whittaker Chambers hints at it in Witness.
A hotel bought the car and donated it to him, though he was loath to admit this. https://hyperallergic.com/878913/artist-chavis-marmol-crushes-tesla-with-colossal-olmec-head-sculpture/
The Olmecs lasted into the mid-400s BC, which is when the Athenians were building the magnificent structures, including the Parthenon, for which the Acropolis is known
The Camp of the Saints is a fabulous story about the Western world being swamped by migration from the Third World — specifically India — with cannibals, feces-eaters, and leftist academics being amongst the invaders. It’s about as on the nose as this “art.”

Marmol said he intentionally wanted to crush a Tesla because of what it represents, and that a different luxury vehicle wouldn’t work well with the message he was trying to send
George McDonald Frasier gives a fabulous description of this in his “Flash for Freedom” novel; any telling of Britain’s campaigns in the Gold Coast get into this hellishness as well

If the leftists think that smashing technology is what they want, they should move to South America and see how long they can survive without their Iphones and modern tech.
I'd also point them toward South Africa, where the natives are destroying civilization, or maybe to Ukraine, where NATO is reducing a nation to 3rd world status. Or how about China, where they put the dissidents to work as slaves?
Everybody must see that the “progressives” want subject peoples to be stupid , poor and frightened ; much easier to control. That has been the purpose of the last 60 years of ruined education , destroyed religion , broken down families , constant conflict and bankrupted economies.
