With the long lasting Covid-19 pandemic, we may have reached something like a boiling point. Leftist extremists see their chance to force by violence and threats their preferred totalitarian political changes on its citizens! Muslim radicals feel emboldened. Citizens resist the draconian measures to fight a fairly harmless virus and its severe negative impact on the economy and so on ...
This political unrest is probably fueled or intensified by propaganda, disinformation and other interference by the enemies of Western democracies and free societies! Too many Western citizens are probably to naive and ignorant about that otherwise there would be already stronger defenses against it in place!
The world order, as established after World War II, is rapidly changing! Or is it failing? New centers of power (China, India, Brazil) have emerged or are trying to establish themselves (Turkey, Iran). Are Western democracies prepared to respond?
Some of the major fears of our time: Climate Change religion and artificial intelligence. Every day we are inundated/flooded with new apocalyptic news about the imminent end of the world if we do not immediately embrace socialist central planning and command limited to few options like renewable energy or electric cars etc. However, Global Warming is a hoax and Climate Change is a dominant, new religion of our time based on medieval superstition and incomplete and misleading science! We still know very little about our climate, any contrary claims are demagoguery! Artificial intelligence is associated with Big Brother fears and loss of human control ...
Every few decades or so such political unrest erupts in Western democratic societies. Western democracies tend to become stale, ossified, and complacent as years go by. Elected lifelong politicians become and prove feeble and incompetent! The status quo faces challenges. Will it be different this time? Will there be a push back this time against decades long creeping socialism?
