Barbarism Is Winning

The West has been flooded with barbarians, who are no longer at the gates but well inside them.

But the threat of the barbarians from without is minuscule compared to the reality that barbarism itself has become perfectly normal within our society, and barbaric practices have been adopted by many Americans.

The chances that a graduate from a prestigious college in America will embrace barbarism are likely higher than your average illegal alien, at least from a few years ago. Most illegal aliens come here to live the American Dream, and prior to Biden’s open door/let’s hand you a check policy they likely got jobs and kept their heads down.

College students? Not so much. BLM and Antifa barbarians? They are barbaric nihilists bent on destroying everything that is good about our society.

Over the past few years, we have seen an explosion of violence and property crime in our cities, and the political activism that is normal on college campuses has turned into mob action aimed at intimidating and silencing anybody the activists don’t like.

I vote for either Tierra del Feugo or the Falkland Islands. Focus on IT or maybe weapons development (something that can be done with minimal natural resources).

I was thinking of something closer to home.

Or maybe...

"I was thinking of something closer to home."

Oh, I've already made that move (to rural NW TN), I'm just contemplating the potential next step. But, at this moment, rural NW TN provides a pretty Normal Rockwell-esque lifestyle (darn, I missed the monthly wrestling at the town firehouse tonight!)
