About
The Western nations are seemingly more divided today than they have ever been in their relative histories. To be prideful and patriotic if you exist within the confines of one of these countries is to be met with derision by large swaths of the population, who deem loving your country akin to murder, or some other heinous crime – and, following the current timeline to its conclusion, patriotism will be sure to become illegal in due course.
For what is there to love about the Western world in its current iteration?! After all, the natives to these lands are nothing more than colonisers and settlers, racists and bigots, mysogynists, and transphobes. And if that’s not enough, be sure to throw in ageist, sizeist, and any other ist that can victimise the claimant against these awful oppressors.
We are living in the age of offence, where fragile feelings and ‘lived experiences’ are, of course, more important than arbitrary terms like ‘facts’ and ‘evidence’. Why should what is true matter when my perception of the event pains me such? After all, it may not be the truth, but it is my truth. And that, of course, matters more…
Except it doesn’t. Sorry if that offends you.
There are such things as right and wrong, and the world doesn’t change simply because you believe it to be different. Over the past 5 years at most, the narrative of the Western world has shifted from one of nonfiction to one of complete fiction. That is why this site exists. All around us, people throw hatred at each other without restraint, based on characteristics that the victims of this abuse (known as the oppressors), are unable to do anything about.
The colour of your skin, your gender, your sex and even your history are all seen as arbiters of your guilt, and there is no way you can do anything about it. Being male makes you a predator, being white makes you privileged (a quality that the homeless community, predominantly white as they are, exude in abundance), and also racist (whether they know it or even if they have racist opinions in any way whatsoever).
There is no argument, there is no defense.
If your viewpoint is liberal it will be shouted from the rooftops. You become a celebrated member of the community, and an exponent of every virtue that makes a person great. If you have a Conservative viewpoint, you are seen as the enemy, and are not entitled to your own voice.
2020: The death of opinions
When covid hit in December 2019, fear of people towards their neighbours – which had previously existed in natural levels up until that point – was ramped up significantly. The Western nations had, up to this point, shared such an air of invincibility that they were totally unprepared for the impact that a new virus would cause.
The true impact of covid-19, however, was manipulated by the media and the governments of these countries, increasing fear to such an extent that civil unrest was almost a natural conclusion. Using dubious criteria for categorising the deaths from the virus – in Britain, it was said that anyone that died after catching it, even if they have been hit by a car, would class as a covid death – led the public to believe that it was killing far more people that it actually did, making the people that actually died from covid directly less significant (in statistical terms).
The result was that more and more people disbelieved the data, creating a very large community of people that believed that the virus didn’t exist at all. I confess that I used to be one of those people. My state on this has softened significantly as time has gone on, and I now believe the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
The media would then take the most extreme of covid cases and plaster them all over each country, on the news, in newspapers, on daytime tv shows and all over the internet, convincing people that there’s a good chance that they could die every time they left the house.
The result of all of this palava was that two clear groups were formed. On the one side, the people who believed that the government had nothing but the safety of the people in mind, and that any measure taken by the government should be enforced with absolute militant ferocity, and on the other side, the people who disbelieved everything that they were told, as a result of the manipulation that had quite obviously occurred up to that point.
The madness that ensued was a series of government mandated procedures – from face masks to lock downs and eventually to the vaccine – and, from then on, the fear of the one side turned into anger against the other. The gulf between the two groups grew into a cavernous space with every passing rule change, and the vitriol towards one another (the rejectors started disliking the followers for being ‘sheep’ and making the situation worse) grew along with it.
From a government perspective, they now had quite a lot of valuable information about controlling entire populations, which I’m sure will be used to great effect in due course.
However, from a societal perspective, the gulf between the two groups had already been made.
Fighting the power
In truth, the ball was set in motion for this divide a long time before the pandemic ever began.
The 1980s in American universities saw the introduction of critical race theory, and with it the idea that activism is more of a part of education than academia is. And this seed of activism grew into a tree of civil disobedience, leading young people, under the guise of being educated, to attack the institution for all of its wrongs throughout history. This desire to ‘right the wrongs’ of society was doomed to failure from the start, and will be doomed to failure in the end.
In the end it comes down to one inalienable truth – society will never be perfect, because people are not perfect. Society is, at root, a reflection of its people, making the removal of every injustice impossible to achieve.
So this is the position that we are in as of today. Every injustice, whether contemporary or historically, will be exposed and attacked, and a civilisation that enabled its populous to thrive in relative harmony and freedom for many, many years, was now seen as an evil institution that needed to be broken down. Individualism has been overtaken by collectivist ideologies, meaning that you only matter as a part of the group that you are in, and the people in those groups are, apparently, all the same.
In the new world, white males are seen as the most evil group in history, victims as they are of the atrocities of their ancestors, however they are not the only oppressors, depending entirely on the group making the accusations. Black people attack white people, Muslim people attack Christians and Jews, women attack men, feminists attack the trans community, and the trans community will tend to attack anyone that isn’t. And above all there is the university students whose conditioning means that they would seemingly protest against anyone.
