Historians will one day note that the election of left wing governments in the latter half of the 20th century in the United States and Europe was a catastrophe for Western civilization. Those governments altered immigration laws and embraced the corrosive fraud of “multiculturalism”. By the time the people realized the harm done, it was irreversible.
One of my favorite writers, Jerry Pournelle, has been saying this for years:
“Liberalism is a philosophy of consolation for Western Civilization as it commits suicide.”
