This author gets it. I can find nothing in this article with which I disagree. The article cited here front-and-centers historical, ethical and epistemological truths with which none of us can be comfortable. In fact, it tracks the ideas and the premises laid out in Lee Harris’ “The Suicide of Reason,” to an uncomfortable degree.

Will we see a civilizational collapse that encompasses the Western world? If these trends continue, the odds favor it. That’s the brutal truth. And it certainly won’t be the first time that such an event has occurred.

A world dominated by a cruel Chinese empire and the fanatical, murderous slave-keepers and practitioners of cultural genocide of Islam. That’s the prospect if we do not rise up and do the terrible things necessary to preserve our own civilization.

As an exercise for the reader, check out “The Camp of the Saints” by Frenchman Jean Raspail. Writing in the 1970’s, he presaged what is happening to France and really, all of Europe now. Thanks a tip of the kepi to Lurker, who turned me on to this book a couple of years abck.

On present form, within a century the native Western majorities will melt away: “child-free” is a legitimate yuppie lifestyle term, on par with “fat-free” and “drug-free.” But whereas the threat of extinction of an exotic tribal group in Borneo or Amazonia - let alone a species of spotted owl or sperm whale - would cause alarm and prompt activism among neoliberal elites, it is deemed inherently racist to mention the fact that Europeans and their trans-Atlantic cousins are, literally, endangered species.

The author nails it right here. Steyn wrote an entire book on this issue and if you haven't read it, you should. Best,
