A descent into barbarism is easy and fast; you only need to let yourself go. The animal part of all of us is just below the surface and constantly has to be controlled, or it will bubble to the top, and we will sink into savagery. Rising into civilization is difficult and slow because the masses must know the difference between right and wrong, constantly be sober and vigilant about it, urged by universally acknowledged societal mores and virtues to pursue the excellent and reject the decadent, and, above all, individually conquer themselves, something few people are ever capable of consistently doing, and rarely when fulfilling the pleasures of the flesh. When it becomes socially acceptable to be a barbarian, as is increasingly the case in America, there will be more and more barbaric activity. When national, state, and community “leaders” encourage such conduct—which they are wont to do because there is power for political tyrants in social chaos—and when one’s peers and associates actively engage in such animal behavior, this promotes such pursuits. There is a reason why Hollywood and America’s inner cities are full of darkness and not light—few are shining the light and leading the way out of darkness. The Democratic Party and American media certainly aren’t doing it, nor do they intend or even want to.
Some “civilizations” have never completely arisen from barbarity. We see this today in the pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas movement in America and around the world. This crowd is still stuck in a seventh-century philosophy that doesn’t teach them how to, or that they even should, lift themselves to a higher and more excellent plane. As long as life goes okay, they will behave okay. But, again, just beneath the surface lurks the savage, and it doesn’t take much to let it escape, especially when associates, friends, and leaders encourage such, when the message is that the right thing is being done.
Barbarism never elevates anyone. It took Europe several centuries of the “Dark Ages” to get out of it. We appear to be descending into it again, as law, religion, traditions, and social order no longer hold back the tide. The government isn’t helping to restrain this tide; the government never helps do so. It either leads the wolfpack or follows it, which amounts to the same thing. This is exactly why a government can never be trusted, especially one elected by an increasingly degenerate—barbarian—population. Lafayette reportedly said during the French Revolution, “There go the people. I am their leader. I must follow them.” Joe Biden and Democrats see votes and power in America’s descent into barbarism. They are not only boosting it, they are welcoming it into the country in massive numbers.
Interestingly, there is often a code of honor among thieves and sometimes among savages. Gavin Newsom cleaned up San Francisco when somebody of equal barbarity and degeneracy came to that city. The Chinese laughed at him. Not even the horde of mass murderers called the CCP is decadent enough to allow people to defecate on their streets. This isn’t “freedom,” folks, this is...barbarity. Gavin Newsom wants to be president of the whole country and might be so. Then, the Chinese can laugh at all of us, especially as they continue to conquer us. “A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has [first] destroyed itself from within.” (Will Durant)
In the Grenada Television production of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Cardboard Box,” upon discovering the savagely beaten remains of two people, Sherlock Holmes said to Dr. John Watson, his long-time friend and companion, “What is the meaning of it, Watson? What is the object of this circle of misery, violence, and fear? It must have a purpose, or our universe has no meaning, which is unthinkable. But what purpose? That is humanity’s great problem, to which reason, so far, has no answer.” Human reason will never find an answer to that problem because human reason can never fathom the depths of the mind of God. And that is because every human has his own “reason.” Human reason has, does, and can only continue to lead humanity into barbarism because humans, without God, are nothing but animals living in the jungle. Ask the Darwinists. Human reason offers us nothing more excellent to strive for than—human reason. And whose “reason” should we pursue? A seventh-century ruffian? That of a 19th-century German economist that has led to the greatest mass murder of innocents in human history and has brought more misery, poverty, slavery, and violence than any theory the world has ever known? Hitler’s? Tojo’s? Yours? Mine?
Yes, which human philosophy should we follow —and why? And if atheism is true, then no, Mr. Holmes, there is no purpose to it all, as “unthinkable” as that might be to truly rational people. Eternal nothingness awaits us all. And thus, why is “civilization” better than “barbarism”? Why, indeed? Obviously, to Joe Biden and the Democratic Party, it isn’t because they continue to encourage the latter and denigrate the former.
When one removes from a man that which separates him from the animals when we teach man that he is nothing more than a glorified ape, we mustn’t be surprised when he acts like one, and when we take God out of man, we leave nothing but the animal. The jungle. China. Communism. Chicago and San Francisco.
The Answer is above us. Above academia. Above human reason. Above even the government. Far above the government. But That—He—is the one answer mankind never seems to want to accept.
Because it interferes with our descent into barbarism, which apparently is mankind’s greatest desire, only look at current America to see that this is so.
We are descending into barbarism because we are rejecting the only One who can keep us from doing it.
Islam requires, rewards, and demands the most base savage nature of humanity to be a food Muslim. No other religion I can think of supports what islam demands. Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism, Taoism, Buddhism, Judaism, all expect and demand their followers to control their impulses and seek self improvement. Not Islam. Which is why it is so attractive to low IQ tribalist and psychopaths. Yet it has the most effective propaganda that has ever been created and all are required to declare islam is a “religion of peace.” No, it is not. When their entire religious tenants demand the murder of all non believers, they mean it. The only other religion equally as evil is marxism. But Mohamed got a 1200 year start on ol’ Karl.
Bravo! So damn well said!
I live in Italy now (long story involving a beautiful woman). I visit the 'States here and there. Last time I was there, in 2019, I have to say I was shocked by the general appearances and demeanors of Americans. Fat, tatt-covered, foul mouthed and dressed like sloppy clowns. Lots of clown-like hair colors too.
Gravitas was absent in most young men, feminine traits and a vibe of weakness were prominent.
Tragic is how I describe all the flabby, paunchy, pierced and tatt-covered young women I saw. Ugh. And there were absolute boatloads of obscenely obese, trashy- looking Third World immigrants loading up their shopping carts and then whipping out EBT cards at the grocery stores I went to in Providence. The massive numbers of them really shocked me.
Not everyone was like that, of course, but that was the general drift I noticed beginning when I got on the plane in Rome and then walked about in my old RI stomping grounds. Even a lot of older folks gave off decadent, ignorant clown vibes. It was totally depressing. I was glad to leave.
A people get the government they deserve.
Decadent, Godless people will get decadent, godless government. How could it be any other way?
If we wonder why God said of them, 'everyone is evil all the time', we need not wonder anymore. Just look around us at the barbarism our land is already experiencing and know that we haven't reached the bottom as yet.
Romans 1.
Psalm 13. How long Lord? How long?
Why? Answer is in Romans 1:28.
Why? Answer is in Romans 1:28.
Mindless robots brought to us by the democrat marxist funded education system has bought us to this point
Chapter One of Paul’s Letter to the Romans explains it. (What a coinkidink! That was in my Devotional Readings this very morning!)
Bkmk
But not all of us are decadent and godless and we don’t *deserve* that. We didn’t vote for it and we don’t support it, and we pray against it and fight for it when and as we can.
And we see what you saw and we don’t like it either. And we are scattered across the country. You can’t just all of the US by what you saw in liberalville New England.
Our final descent into dissolution as a viable nation progressed by degrees as the national debt astronomically increased into absurdity.
The appointment of Yellen further demonstrated contempt.
Our courts are an absurdity as demonstrated by charges against Donald Trump.
The final nail was driven by the stolen election which elevated a glob of pond scum to the. Oval orifice.
This is what happens to people who turn from God to worship of self.
***CIVILIZATION IS NOT INHERITED; IT HAS TO BE LEARNED AND EARNED BY EACH GENERATION ANEW***
How true. Here is how it was among the American Indians before the White Man came.... and yet they are often held up as an example to us today...
How the tribes treated each other BEFORE The White Man arrived...

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on all of us sinners!
O Lord, save Harvard! Save MIT! Save Tufts, the University of Arizona, and all our great universities! Send their students, faculty, and staff priests and pastors who teach according to you Word! Save them from Hamas, Islam, worship of LGBTQ, and other expressions of falsehood and barbarism! Lord have Mercy! Amen!
When you quit killing your unborn; you just might hear from Heaven again.
—GOD
You're right. Nevertheless, plenty of those who oppose the leftist agenda inadvertantly - but directly - support it via patronizing the filth and crap that passes for "entertainment" these days, absorbing the crap emanating from their smartphones, staring at porn for hours on end, becoming passive and compliant when pissant, out-of-control government bureaucrats force them to do suicidal things, and spending money in businesses whose owners and boards of directors support and promote anti-White, anti-Western and anti-Christian agendas. All that has done is to help fund the persecution and ostracization of we "normies." In essence, we've been killing ourselves: We've brought this mess on ourselves by funding those who despise us and by not fighting the leftist/globalist scum effectively enough. Oh yes, we must always "take the high road" against them! Spit.
So, I say that in my opinion things are only going to get worse - a lot worse - and it's therefore almost past time for non-leftists, and especially White, Christian, heterosexual conservatives, to band together and consciously form private communities with strong support networks, industries, farms, home schools and well trained defensive militias to protect their inhabitants because I assure you that as the collapse of America goes exponential - and soon it will - the feral scum; the psychopathic parasites in the inner cities will fan out and begin pillaging in outlying areas. That's beginning to happen now. When there's not enough food left in their shitholes, when there's not enough of our money left to keep them on the dole and when what's left of serious law enforcement fades away, they'll increasingly unleash hell on the rest of us.
Prepare now because when the serious SHTF, it'll be far too late to.
Yes, I do expect it to get worse, a lot worse.
I see no solution to this in the human realm. Only God can fix the mess were in now through Divine Intervention.
But that won’t stop me from trying anyways. it’s not an excuse to sit back and whine about it and do nothing.
