Are we now living through the beginning stages of the death of the
West? Or at least the West that we once knew, love, and cherished? That gave
rise to the greatest period of prosperity and freedom that this world has ever
seen, or are simply going through a dramatic shift in the zeitgeist that will
inevitable correct itself?
It is unknown as of yet, what the dire ramifications of this
extremely unstable period of time we now live in, are going to be. The old
rules of politics and civility have been broken, and in large part, we can
thank both the radical left and the far right for doing so.
However, the MSM (who have become nothing more than glorified
tabloid outlets), through their never ending flow of click-bait propaganda,
pitting neighbor against neighbor cannot be overlooked and in my opinion, are
the chief cause of this current mess we now find ourselves in. They are the
ones that gave birth to these extremes.
The genie is out of the bottle and the thought of open Civil War
is once again being entertained within the United States. The fact that this is
even being mentioned, showcases just how incredibly unstable the political
state with the United States currently is.
This would not only be a disaster, but it would be an outright
bloodbath, and one that would ultimately reshape the United States as we know
it, forever.
Currently, there is already a war ongoing, many know this as the
"culture war" and up until recently, it has predominately been fought
online, but is now spilling over into everyday real life.
For years, the left has dominated this front, as they have risen
through the ranks of various companies, universities and positions of
"power", taking control and reshaping these businesses and
institutions into their image. However, this is all changing, as the right is
no longer asleep and has begun to fight back. Massively.
This culture war, as I have stated, has spilled over into everyday
life and many people of power, or influence now live in a constant state of
fear, simply waiting for the mob carrying torches to descend upon them, bound
them, and figuratively speaking, burn them at the stake.
This of course would not be unfolding if not for one fact. It has
been and still is, effective.
As we are now seeing, the effectiveness of this tactic has been
noticed by extremist on both sides, and they are wielding it as a powerful
weapon as insanity takes root within the minds of the weak, wrecking havoc on
our societies in the process and creating extreme uncertainty and disorder.
This madness is pushing people to the brink and what was once a
fringe idea, discussed by only fool-hearted revolutionaries, is now becoming
discussed more and and more among highly educated, highly respected scholars.
Niall Ferguson is
one of these scholars, and one of the most, if not the most respected historian
in the world.
In a recent tweet, he had some recommended
reading
for his viewers, stating the following;
He sates that he sees many similarities
between the period of extreme unrest that the world suffered through in the
1850's and to today's current timeline.
Within this list of recommended books are a number of frightening
pieces that explain how American reached the point of no return and entered
into a gruesome Civil War that pitted brother against brother and sister
against sister.
As pointed out, this period was a time of extreme polarization, in
which neither the right nor the left could come together to work things out,
communication ceased and all that was left was violence.
We are not yet at this point and perhaps, there is still time to
turn back the wheel of time and correct these irrational differences, however,
the sands of time are certainly nearing their end and we are about to reach the
point of no return.
Communication is the key to peace, and without it, bloodshed will
undoubtedly follow.
This cannot be allowed to happen, the cost is simply too great.
Fortunately, the vast majority of people are sick and tired of the
nonsense, they are fed up with the insanity and they want nothing to do with
this madness.
It is time for the sanity of the center to once again assert
itself, take control and restore order. Before it is too late, before
communication dies and before the West buries itself six feet under.
