Barbarism Is Winning
Hot Air | 9 Nov 2023 | David Strom

The West has been flooded with barbarians, who are no longer at the gates but well inside them.

But the threat of the barbarians from without is minuscule compared to the reality that barbarism itself has become perfectly normal within our society, and barbaric practices have been adopted by many Americans.

The chances that a graduate from a prestigious college in America will embrace barbarism are likely higher than your average illegal alien, at least from a few years ago. Most illegal aliens come here to live the American Dream, and prior to Biden’s open door/let’s hand you a check policy they likely got jobs and kept their heads down.

College students? Not so much. BLM and Antifa barbarians? They are barbaric nihilists bent on destroying everything that is good about our society.

Over the past few years, we have seen an explosion of violence and property crime in our cities, and the political activism that is normal on college campuses has turned into mob action aimed at intimidating and silencing anybody the activists don’t like.

These veterans must be wondering when their country fell. Police warn them not to hang British flags on the barriers but the cops do nothing as British monuments are draped in Palestinian flags & vandalised. pic.twitter.com/2PJfqSrZdC

The key to all this is the decline of our education system, which should be part of the cultural immune system. Instead, it has become the spreader of the disease that is destroying the West.

Nashville DA says “law must be altered” after suspect released from jail is accused of shooting college student in the head
CBSnews  | 11/9/2023

Taylor has been charged criminally several times in the past. In 2021, Taylor was charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon after he and another man were accused of shooting at a female driver while her two children were in the back seat. At least two rounds struck the vehicle. Earlier this year, a Nashville judge dismissed those charges, and Taylor was released after court-appointed doctors testified that he was incompetent to stand trial. Federal and state law prohibit the prosecution of mentally incompetent defendants.

The May 19 court order explained that Taylor had developed pneumonia at birth, which led to a brain infection, and that he continues to function at a kindergarten level. Because Taylor also did not meet the criteria for involuntary commitment, the court had “reached the limit of its authority,” Criminal Court Judge Angelita Blackshear Dalton wrote.
