Iryna Zarutska’s Murder and the Great Delusion of Our Time
Humanity is filled with tragedies that are often self-inflicted, such as plunder, murder, and conflict. According to Saint Augustine, crimes are committed when our emotions become corrupt and unconstrained. The reaction to a crime reveals what kind of society we live in. We either live in a society that is empathetic to the victim and seeks justice for the culprit, or we live in one that sides with the culprit and wants to silence the victim. A pattern has emerged in the United States and the United Kingdom that sheds light on this question.
On August 22nd, 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was stabbed to death by Decarlos Brown Jr. in an unprovoked attack. He was allegedly heard saying, “I got that white girl.” A few weeks later, when news of her death was released, there was an outpouring of sympathy for Decarlos, and Iryna was forgotten. This, according to the author, is a clear sign that the new Critical Race and Anti-Racism theology, which sees everything through the prism of race, is now the official religion. In this new doctrine, race determines guilt and sympathy, and Iryna was an “embarrassment” to the new establishment because her race did not match the “empathy matrix.”
The author says that this kind of silence is also happening in Britain. The prepubescent girls of Rotherham, who were victims of sexual exploitation, were not only ignored but were also blamed for the crimes against them. The author says that victims are being silenced to transform both countries into a progressive, multicultural world. Those who speak out about the injustices and label the crimes as hate crimes are being labeled as “Far Right,” “bigots,” or “racists.” The author says that this is what happened to the late Charlie Kirk, whose memory was slandered after he was assassinated.
The author concludes by saying that there may be hope after all. Sir Trevor Phillips said that the people at the recent Unite the Kingdom march were “normal,” not “Far Right.” Also, Clive Lewis MP said that pretending that those who march are all “racists or fascists would be a massive mistake.” If this message is genuine, then there is still hope for a conversation among peers.
