As usual, Victor Davis Hanson puts our current situation in correct context. We've been making note of these same happenings here as they came along, but seeing them in their overall collection points out just how precarious our situation is.
So why did Biden unleash the hounds of anti-civilization? Did he despise the supposedly boring middle-class citizen who follows the law, pays all his taxes, and never gets arrested? Does he hate the idea of meritocracy? In Biden’s puppeteers’ dangerous calculus, is all this savagery and chaos a deliberate mechanism to ensure parity? Equity? Inclusion?
So is the deliberate nihilism—economic, social, cultural, social, and political—a way of leveling the field? Making life difficult for the more successful? Making those who cherish the traditions and protocols of America pay?
Is that the plan to take the country to near collapse, and then only at the abyss itself to force revolutionary change—or else?
How else can anyone explain the descent of our city downtowns into dank medieval cesspits, our notion of male and female transformed into the sexual circus right out of Petronius’s Satyricon, our race relations into a mixture of Rwanda and Yugoslavia, and our universities into Soviet-like “People’s Universities of Correct Thought?”
None of this was by accident. It is the dividend of a philosophy that says, “We have to blow up your America before we can reboot it for us.”
