The West is a dying civilization. That much is evident.
But it mustn't be. Who will defend the flame that once illuminated the skies and sang songs of ascents up on high? In the rush to destroy all things Western, few so-called conservatives—anywhere—risk themselves to defend our patrimony and our future. In fact, many so-called conservatives sound like liberals defaming Western civilization and American history by accepting the anti-Western narrative of racism and imperialism.
It is predicable, almost comical, that the self-declared conservatives across the West grovel to the narrative pushed by the nihilistic and iconoclastic Multicultural Left. Republicans in America plan to unveil their own police reform legislation. Looks like conservatives are abandoning the police too! As classics of American art and cinema are canceled, writers like David Marcus implicitly accept the multiculturalist creed by writing that Gone With the Wind should be saved because the first African-American won an Oscar for her performance in the film. Over in Britain, statues honoring British heroes like Lord Admiral Nelson and Winston Churchill are targets for desecration and removal. Moreover, anti-Western activists openly yearn for the dismantling of British history and culture. And in Australia, Green Party activists defaced a statue of James Cook.
The riots are not about George Floyd, police reform and accountability, or justice. The riots are the systematic attempt to exterminate Western civilization and culture from the very lands in which its roots are planted. This, of course, is something that Conservative Inc doesn’t want to acknowledge or is woefully blind to. Predictably, Conservative Inc writers implicitly accept the multiculturalist narrative but try to turn it on its head—claiming how they are the true defenders of multiculturalism and feminism.

Seems Eastern Europe will. They lived under the yolk of Communism and seen and turned back the Islamic invasions of rapefugees.
Surprisingly, Russia is defender of Christianity...
White people will take a bunch of crap, but we eventually snap.
Continents burn when we do.
I have had a front row seat to watch the death of Western Civlization for around 30 years now. I don’t even ask about how Rome fell anymore. I know, because I am seeing it live in real time.
We need to start counter protesting.
Marching down the streets with American Flags.
Holding street BBQs with to show support for the police.
We can organize glass repair for businesses that have been looted.
All it takes is for good men to sit by and do NOTHING.
It’s time to throw off these slave chains and yokes the progressives and even our churches have been putting onto us for decades for not “caring” enough, for not being “open minded”.
No, we were right all along and it’s time to stand up and say NO MORE.
Eastern Europe was never influenced by the great intellectual and political movements like The Age of Rationalism and the Age of Enlightenment, and so they have a much more tenuous connection with the principal virtues of western civilization bequeathed from these movements, like individual rights, primacy of the rule of law, and representative government.
Similarly, the flavor of Christianity that exists in Russia is heavily tainted with the peculiar theological eccentricities of the Orthodox Church and the contamination of 3 generations of Communism.
“Predictably, Conservative Inc writers implicitly accept the multiculturalist narrative but try to turn it on its head—claiming how they are the true defenders of multiculturalism and feminism.”
This.
The riots are the systematic attempt to exterminate Western civilization and culture from the very lands in which its roots are planted.
I’m in my 70’s which may leave me as an armed observer of this deterioration into un-civilization. Many will regret not being more involved in keeping our Republic when the leftists run things. Likely, they will experience many shocking, distasteful things....involving lots of death, blood and chaos. I hope not.
If not them, who?
Democrats, Socialists and Communists worldwide are eliminating Christianity and Democracy in favor of Islam and Socialism.
Look at our own United States. The Wuhanic Plague gave Democrat governers the illegal power to start crushing churches and temples while leaving mosques alone.
This.
Protesting is a part of what made early conservatism so successful, and over the decades this has been partially forgotten by some, and erased by others. Phyllis Schlafly showed us how it is done, how important it is, and how successful it can be.
“If conservatives will not defend Western civilization by proclaiming the heroic nobility of the West then what, exactly, are they conserving? Besides occasional tax cuts—which is hardly heroic—what is the last great conservative victory in the past 20 years?”
Great piece. Thanks for posting.

American Conservatives have had no consequential leadership since the Political Left buried Newt Gingrich in ethics and criminal accusations in 1995-1996.
Trump has postponed the Republican Party suicide.
But, Trump has done nothing consequential to stop it.
America, and specifically Conservatives, are in deep, deep trouble.
I don’t want to think we’re heading for the Dark Ages, but there’s little sign of the kind of resistance it takes to avert it.
I got to see her speak about a dozen years ago. She was quite impressive.
I don’t know when we lost the war and failed to protect Western Civilization?
When Obama was elected?
When the 1960s hippies hijacked the federal government?
When Nixon made the Department of Education?
When FDR created the great society?
When the FED was created and when our incomes were taxed?
I don’t know. Somebody somewhere along the way needed to fight the good fight, because I feel it is to late now. I feel the die is cast, and now we just have to wait for the fall.
I was SO HAPPY when Trump miraculously was elected president. He is being attacked and stymied on all fronts, but I compare life today with Trump and what it would be like after 4 years under president Hilary Clinton. It would have been hell on earth and a far more rapid race to totalitarian oppression.
At least President Trump if fighting a worthwhile rear guard action that has slowed down the collapse of America, and perhaps reversed it a bit. Under president Hilary Clinton, we would be on the verge of collapse, for all intents and purposes.
Definitely not conservatives.

Riiiight...
