History describes cycles of progress and assimilation, of mistakes and mending in many areas. In the last decades, Western cultures (mostly based on Christianity) have been increasingly affected by an atheist, anti-God, anti-family push. This push is in part Marxism, Maoism, and also by so-called 'intellectuals' and 'thinkers'.
In the 60's, 70's and 80's, groups of lunatics in schools, Universities, Unions and many other collectives set out to destroy Western Civilization's foundations (Christ, family, individualism). First by creating a war between social classes (rich and poor), later with Feminism and now it’s race and 'gender'.
Civilization, as we know it, is around 5,000 years. First human life has been detected in caves, we don't really know too much except for bone, object findings and paintings on the walls. I presume that it was the law of the boldest and strongest.
Vikings were an amazing culture and people as far as their social structure back home was concerned, were barbaric looters as far as externals concerned. Christianity transformed Vikings into a more peaceful and respectful people. The same can be said to all European states (map has changed a lot in past centuries).
When the commie push started, Western Civilization started to fall apart, as well as that which made us great. Soviet Union said goodbye to Communism, China has had to go to capitalist ways to feed their people and do world trade. Communism, socialism fail. Thatcher once said, 'Socialism is good until you run out of someone else's money'.
Radical changes into family values, love for country, decency came in the Obama Era and now being fully implemented in the EU, Australia, and the US (Biden admin). In 2016, Americans voted for Donald Trump because he speaks common sense and is someone who showed that he can help return America to being a country in which people have national pride and have a future. In these past few days, the Irish have told their 'progressive' government they do NOT want all this BS. In Sweden, many have also started voting Populist Right. This is now like a domino; country by country is choosing common sense.
The policies implemented by the radical Left and globalists are causing a rot inside our societies and in people's minds and hearts. The smell of world, total war is the sign of when things have gotten to a point where things are so bad, that the first thing some loons think of is tearing it all down and starting over. After Horoshima and Nagasaki, wars are not the same.
Our best hope is to return to God and Nature. Have societies based on family values and create a prosperous environment, where youth see a future. Communism and its derivatives have failed.
