George Orwell (”1984, Animal Farm, Homage to Catalonia”) was a master of predicting the social and political direction of the UK and The West. He was not wrong. His warnings were not pretty but were accurate. Mark Steyn is very good but Orwell was the master.

He went to Spain as a Marxist ideolog and fought against Franco. In Spain he discovered the true nature of Marxism. He came back as a slightly left libertarian, somewhat like Rand Paul but not crazy. If he had lived another 20 years he would have become the likes of Victor David Hansen.

For current analysis of The West none is better than Victor Davis Hansen. His vast intellect can call on centuries of history, warfare, and political beliefs and apply it to what is happening today. It is not pretty.

You are of course correct but your praise might not really be adequate. There is lots and lots of there, there.
