The History of Western Civilisation - Conclusion

Taking an overview, it seems clear that millennia ago northern European people had to develop robust food planning and weather protection skills to cope with the seasons.  This led to a highly adaptive and creative culture throughout Europe.  Britain’s rise to become the globally dominant power in the last millennium had a global effect in setting English as the language, infrastructure, educational, governance and legal foundations of much of the world.  The diminution of Christianity after the Reformation and the Renaissance, the rise of humanism, and the creation of the Westphalian nation-state set in place the European model as the most successful civilisation the world has ever seen, culminating in the ‘Golden Age of Economics’ from the end of the depression to the mid-1970s.  Opposition to this was, for centuries, sporadic and local.  This changed in the 20^th century as new globalist movements gained force.  Two world wars ended Britain’s economic strength and created moral reverberations throughout Europe.  Communism unified disaffection with the status quo, and after its failure at a national level, recruited of a new constituency of victimhood through universities and media.  The unavoidable imposition of the nation-state model on the Middle East exacerbated a continuing resentment.  

Then a confluence of events – Europe’s colonial immigration, Middle East oil revenues, Islamic resurgence, neo-liberal economics which increased income and asset disparity, and the Marxists’ new electorate of the self-identified oppressed – united the direction and moral certainty of these global movements’ resentment against a perceived common enemy, that of European cultural hegemony and its liberal democratic capitalism.  This antipathy took various forms – anti-white, anti-male, anti-democracy, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, anti-conservative and anti-Western.  Neo-Marxism formed the ideological backbone, enlisting anti-Semites with the newly-minted Palestinian narrative, feminists with their antagonism to existing male power structures and support for the victim class, Left-wing parties by side-lining traditionalists and supporting globalists, and by engaging with another major anti-Western ideology, Islam.  

Communism’s history meant that neo-Marxism could never gain electoral strength.  Its former partly-unwitting, partly-unwilling partner Labour and its Left-wing equivalents across the Western world had undermined itself and was becoming electorally marginalised.  Neo-Marxism needed a committed, united, popular, globalist, and anti-Western group to step up to the electoral plate, and it found this in Islam.  It had to ignore their widely separate agendas and it had to manage the negative perceptions of Islam’s violent supremacism.  In what I predict will be seen as a masterful and permanent reorientation of the Western Weltanschauung, it has ostracised opposition and succeeded in putting in place the process for the destruction of Western civilisation.

It seems there is an imperative in humanity for catharsis.  The bigger the society, the bigger the cataclysm that produces it.  Globalism is preparing us for just such a cataclysm.
