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.
