Comments: Who killed the Enlightenment? We did.

He can say *some* people killed it, but he doesn't get to include me.

For 30 years I have been distancing myself from the lunacy and I'm about as far from it now as I will ever be, and I am under no obligation at all to supervise the behavior of others.

Exactly. As bad as radical Islam is, its just a parasite trying to feed off our corruption. Rome wasn't destroyed by Barbarians, it was just finished off. It was destroyed from within, the Vandals and all the other hordes that cleared it out were just carrion birds pecking at the remains.

The destruction of Western Values was an intentional act orchestrated and encouraged for decades to bring about the current day weakness. The author of this was Antonio Gramsci

Each step of the way "nice liberals" and "Mayberry Republicans" cooperated in the process and advanced the weakness that may kill us all. "Nice liberals" did it to feel generous and smarter than the rest of us. "Mayberry Republicans" helped this along so they could avoid a fight.

As Churchill said we had to choose between dishonor and war. We chose dishonor and now we will have war. Nobody will win this war for us. Nobody is coming to the rescue. There won't be some epiphany whereby the inert masses decide now is the time to act. In a conflict you sink to the level of your training. We've been practicing passive-ism. The other side is practicing activism.

Using the 90-10 model, after all the combatants have expended their energies and long after the infrastructure of countries around the world has been abandoned in useable condition, when the chemical and nuclear pollution has dropped to safe levels, there will emerge from the wilderness and underground redoubts the next generation of patriots.
You and I won't see it but our grandchildren will. As we speak many families are establishing remote compounds, off the radar and self-sustaining, with breeding according to Eugenics for optimal results. Few retro-technologies will be needed as the initial settlements will be agrarian.
The prime dynamic is time.
