Orthodox Christians know that the journey to Theosis is a constant war against the passions which ultimately lead to barbarism.
The Psalms of Ascent from Festival Orthros are reminders that the struggle is lifelong and ongoing:
From my youth, many passions war against me. O my Savior,
I implore You, uphold me and save me!
Keep a blessed Nativity Fast!

CIVILIZATION IS NOT INHERITED; IT HAS TO BE LEARNED AND EARNED BY EACH GENERATION ANEW; IF THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE INTERRUPTED FOR ONE CENTURY, CIVILIZATION WOULD DIE, AND WE SHOULD BE SAVAGES AGAIN. —WILL AND ARIEL DURANT

When one removes from a man that which separates him from the animals when we teach man that he is nothing more than a glorified ape, we mustn’t be surprised when he acts like one, and when we take God out of man, we leave nothing but the animal. The jungle. China. Communism. Chicago and San Francisco. Civilization's signposts washed away by the progressive death cult.

Clubbing may work but I prefer “gentle persuasion, relentlessly applied.”

It’s been about 40 years now of gentle relentless persuasion.
If they haven’t responded yet, it’s time to hit harder, IMHO.

Amen. And never, never, ever, ever surrender your firearms. And stock up on ammo and other essentials.
As my Jewish friends say, “Trust in GOD!!! But row AWAY from the rocks.”

“When it becomes socially acceptable to be a barbarian there will be more and more barbaric activity”
Well written.
A seemingly highly civilised society can descend to barbarity in years if we are not vigilant
