Thank you. I'm gratified to know that my appraisal is not completely crazy. The United States suffers from the same kind of delusion. In fact, Western Civilization does. Note tagline.

It is frightening to contemplate the extent to which delusion, denial, hubris, and decadence suffuse Western Civilization--and what can follow.

There are many contributing factors, but some of the most important are:

(1) The European wars, including the horrible religious wars, the wars of rival hegemony, and World Wars I and II.
(2) The Nazi regime.
(3) Segregation and racial discrimination, notably in the U.S.A.
(4) The theories of Karl Marx.
(5) The Information Age, which has made everyone in the world our close neighbors.

The people of the West are understandably horrified by the tragedies and by the inability of Western Civilization to solve the problems and rise above them. The West is committed to universal justice and equality but cannot seem to achieve it.

Unfortunately, millions seek it in all the wrong places.

It is not possible to assure it absolutely and perfectly, but the complete abnegation of Western Civilization is definitely not the answer--though millions seem to think it is.

Despite its inability to create the perfect world-wide civilization, Western Civilization has come closer to it that anything else ever devised.

I don't know whether the people of the world will ever wake up to this realization or not. Let's hope they will.

The West is committed to universal justice and equality but cannot seem to achieve it.

Therein lies the rub.

A nice read on why that "commitment" is the demise of the West is in Thomas Sowell's book The Quest for Cosmic Justice

Sowell gave a short talk condensing the book HERE . Basically he shows us in this great book how the Cosmic Justice we have seen the left foist on the west is a lie and incompatible with the rule of law that established the freedom and success of western civilization.
