Britain and America were supreme while their adversaries were European barbarians - Soviets, Nazis. They understood them.
But the Anglo-American powers are now paralised in the face of non-European barbarian adversaries : Arabs, blacks, mulattos, Asians. Suddenly being preoccupied by gays, trannies, lesbians (sex) is a way to not look at what they have no answer to - non-European barbarism. They have bought into the post-colonial guilt trip bollocks and now have no way to back out of it or to answer it.
The idea of merit, which happened to occur to Europeans and which generated a better world, is now denounced as merely white, European, and therefore detrimental.
So primitive tribalism is back, now with self-righteousness. And it's cheered along.
Ah, the idea of merit. 2500 years of Western Civilization. The Enlightenment, the Scientific Revolution, the industrial revolution, the Age of Reason, the linguistic turn.
And it's "the idea of merit" that floats your stool?
What was that book of yours again, dear boy? Freud On Man's Soul, wasn't it?
Miam miam indeed, no?
Quite so.
