I think the problem throughout the civilized world (by that I mean NON-Muslim) today is that the gradual infestation by liberal ideology coupled with a collective of normal citizens working, earning (paying taxes), striving and living that neglected said liberals’ rise has reached the point of standoff.
What effectively results in is the liberals’ view that the only way to prosper further is to be inclusive of extremist views, outrageous pseudo religious views, ‘normed’ deviant lifestyles and a bleeding heart mentality that doesn’t serve to be humane, but to conquer that last hurdle.
I submit that the zombie cataclysm oft portrayed in the movies is real, but it isn’t the walking dead - it is the walking insane of Islam, all their ‘immigrants’, refugees and resident appeasers in full regalia.
If you go back to pre-WW I Euro-American and Christian society, you find an immensely vibrant, self-confident society that had developed the most humane systems of government in the world's history; had the greatest, most productive economic systems, all primarily capitalistic; and was making tremendous, unheard of, technical, scientific, and medical advances everywhere. Then some damn fools came along and set that whole society afire and indulged in a four year long, unspeakable blood bath that surpassed all prior wars in its total frightfulness and pointlessness. That, in turn, profoundly demoralized the Western intellectual class, enabling communism in all its forms, including progressivism, to gain a powerful hold on society and the intellectual class, a hold it has never lost. Indeed, WW I was and remains the pre-eminent catastrophe of Western Civilization.
