I have once heard a rather harsh saying: if in the sixties the Commie student uprising had been gunned down (as it was in México), there would be very few problems now (the dead cannot march through the institutions).
Commiescum is literally the bane of everything which is normal and good.
Post-Christian man is sufficiently hollowed out that he cannot fathom acting forcefully about much of anything.
