The great success of Western capitalism has produced a wordsmith class that is utterly removed from the harsher realities of human nature. This pampered governing and media elite shares a fantasy view of human nature as basically benign; aggression is only reactive, not innate. Multicultural egalitarianism is a religious faith, promoted by liberal arts faculties and not subject to refutation by mere facts...

As he did so often, Churchill got it right when he said:

"The worst difficulties from which we suffer...come from within. They do not come from the cottages of the wage earners, they come from a peculiar type of brainy people always found in our country, who, if they add something to its culture, take much from its strength. Our difficulties come from the mood of unwarrantable self-abasement into which we have been cast by a powerful section of our own intellectuals.... Nothing can save England if she will not save herself. If we lose faith in ourselves, in our capacity to guide and govern,if we lose our will to live, then indeed our story is told."
