Lincoln Dismissed In Today's Progressive World. My POW.

[Mylye2222]

As you know, the last year's controversy regarding Lincoln's heritage revisionism first points mostly to the far left fringes of the political spectrum, in the US and abroad.
My quick analysis would be this.
1) In today's repentance culture, the new progressive can't stand that a white male put the first corner stone regarding civil rights and justice as we know it today.
2) Lincoln was a white guy, but he came from the labor class. White Labor classes today are the most ignored and dismissed, when not loathed, by all aisles (despite the Trumps, Johnsons, LePen, Orban might at first sight seem to have reached to their struggles, it's mainly mere elective purposes tactics IMO) To summ it, those classes are "too white for the left and too poor for the right. That's how we get rebellion like the Yellow Vests in France (at least it's early days before they were taken over by the far left).
3) Lincoln had an hard childhood, and struggled hard to self made, which contraries the popular narrative of "systemic white privilege" ( although we can't evade white privileges in peculiar situations, we can't say a homeless white man or woman who dies of hypothermia is "enjoying privilege". ). So his story disputes repentance culture.
4) Lincoln wasn't a man who blamed his faults on others, he would never fit into the present victim society.

So what do you think of it? Let's discuss! (sorry for my limited syntax sometimes, it can be hard to write in English with all the thoughts rushing into my head in French ☺)
