@DarrigoMelanie I noticed she isn't being stabbed in the neck.

Isn’t it strange how a black woman is safer on a bus full of White nationalists than a White woman on a bus with a single black man?

Does a civilisation have a right to exist?

The answer is no.

A civilisation exists only so long as it has the power, the virtue, and the will to exist.

This is the hard realism of history, the principle Thucydides captured in his History of the Peloponnesian Wars when he wrote that "the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must".

Every civilisation – Eastern or Western – was forged by war, tempered by religion, and stabilised by law. Yet none of the people who lived in those empires imagined that their world could vanish within a single lifetime, since decline always arrives more swiftly than those living through it can comprehend.

The paradox is that we study the past yet remain blind to the present.

Every civilisation believes it is the exception – until it isn't.

Civilisations do not die because they are conquered, they die because they surrender. Strength fades first in memory, then in custom, and finally in the character of a people.

When a people abandon the moral and religious foundations that formed them, when institutions decay, when borders dissolve, when wealth replaces virtue, and when comfort dulls duty, decline follows with astonishing speed – not as a sudden catastrophe, but as the final stage of a long defeat.

The West's achievements are extraordinary, but past greatness guarantees nothing.

Our ancestors built something remarkable, but they cannot save us.

We must save ourselves.

Cities can be remade, but once your civilisation is gone, it's gone forever.
