THE WEST IS SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL

The signs of chaos and disintegration are everywhere to be seen in western nations now. Its citizens find a growing despair within them as rogues and fools rule them from afar as designer criminals rake in the proceeds from countless elite schemes.

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere   
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst   
Are full of passionate intensity.

(From The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats)

In Britain a fool by the name of Johnson makes up his own rules to aggrandize himself at the expense of the British taxpayer.

In France over 1,200 French generals, officers, service members and police personnel sign an open letter to the French government of the growing threat of civil war.

In North America a geriatric thug takes the place of a serial lying sociopath then forlornly calls for unity as two armies prepare for battle.

The European Union devises a scheme doomed to failure to pay illegal immigrants to go home to nations devastated by the West’s wars.

In Italy the Covid dead lie in their coffins for up to a year awaiting burial as the tents they occupy fill to capacity and beyond.

Britain stares economic collapse in the face as it recognizes the completely haphazard and inadequate responses of its leaders to the Covid crisis and its exit from the EU.

America awaits its own catastrophic descent from an already desperate and debt-laden existence to further middle and lower class penury while its elites profit enormously.

France cannot escape the protests to come as the Yellow Jackets return to the streets joined by myriad others who demand change from Macron’s disastrous presidency.

The West is coming apart at the seams while liberals continue to insist on woke nonsense which aggravates situations crying out for common sense. Those of us who were rebellious youths recognize the kind of views held by those who want total freedom without responsibilities. It was a great dream, but in retrospect what a lazy and self-entitled one it truly was. For I was one of those who wished the center not to hold and for an anarchy of alternative experiences to flood the world. But I am a lot older and I hope somewhat wiser now.

Of course we must have compassion. We must do all we can to help those in need. I am an advocate of a universal basic income for all to create a foundation for every single individual across our planet. It seems to me this should be our primary goal. Yet it receives no mention, only a few trial national experiments of which nothing comes. Let us help all people by all means.

But the way of the West where total freedom without responsibility and casting aside all traditional values and mores is not the way forward to a planet where we can live in unity with decent values expressed one to another.

The baby is being thrown out with the bathwater as the saying goes.

Isn’t it clear that disorder cannot lead to orderly progress? The path ahead for the West is shrouded in a fog of confusion where thousands of different interests claim precedence and overarching this melee of idiocy and chaos are elites reaping ever-growing benefits sucked up from the dysfunction below.

I bucked against tradition and traditional ways of thinking when I was a teenager in the Sixties. I negated what my traditional parents had gone through in the Second World War thinking them less than me in mentality, I who was so free. I see now how wrong I was and feel ashamed to have thought that way. I see just how reckless and stupid I was to take powerful illegal drugs. And much else besides.

There is no decent way forward with the kind of anarchy of freedom some want in the West. If anyone is in any doubt about this I advise a trip to the USA when it becomes possible once again. There you will see where total freedom without responsibility and the catastrophic decline in traditional lives gets you. Those I would have laughed about back then and called ‘straights’ who retain a certain conservative dignity, integrity and traditional values, I respect now when I find them. They have a seriousness to them that the hedonist can never approach. Not that they have to wear traditional clothes, jacket, shirt and tie or close-cropped haircuts, it’s not about appearance. It’s about what’s inside.

In the West in recent years we have seen a willful disintegration of values, not their preservation. When warmongering western politicians responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths talk of the merits of ‘western liberal values’ my lip begins to curl. Where are these values pray tell? When did mass murder and lies to initiate mass murder become western liberal values?

The anchors of decency that have previously held western societies together in the past and faced down the Nazi horde against all odds, the upstanding men and women of honor who are regularly mocked by woke idiots, the bedrock of a truly caring society rather than one that mouths the right humanitarian phrases at all the right moments... these men and women are fading from our sight and dying. And who will replace them in the West?

Howling hedonists demanding their “rights”? Conspiracy theorist lunatics pointing to every fantastic idiocy their deranged mentalities bring to their paranoid attention? City types who think only in terms of cold calculation and personal reward? The selfish, the self-interested, the egotistically rabid, sharp-elbowed social climbers and pseudo celebrities?

If these are those who the West hopes to take them forward to a bright new liberal tomorrow then Heaven help them.

There is no sign that a u-turn is possible, never mind wished for.

The West is simply spinning ever downward, out of control, convinced its future lies in bringing down the last few nations still maintaining values of stability. Those value which have survived all that has gone before and continue to create the possibility of a world capable of moving forward.
