The West shares an old problem with the rest of the world: the constant menace of totalitarian zealots determined to interfere in the lives of others, however they brand themselves ideologically, citing religious or political dogma.
What sets the West apart is that it has actually been the home of free thought since the Enlightenment. However, the pressure on freedom worldwide has been growing; there is no such thing as eternal peace. Civilization depends on solidly founded institutions for its lasting protection against barbarism—and as always, the Jews are the canary in the coalmine. Totalitarianism, whether it marches under the banners of fascism, socialism, or Islamism, has the Jews and free society as its enemies.
Increasing its vulnerability to totalitarianism, the West has a tendency to melancholic self-torment that has weakened morality and social cohesion, and without warning, it reached a peak three years ago, prompted by controversial police business. On the tarmac of a Minneapolis intersection and under the knee of an officer, a career criminal died, as upset bystanders filmed the incident. Both the main officer and his colleagues were convicted in court, and it would seem that justice had thereby been served. Even before the legal proceedings were over however, things unraveled.
Leftist news outlets and social media unanimously canonized the deceased. Straight away, his death became the symbol of an alleged social phenomenon called “structural racism.” Posthumously, the 46-year-old man, a rapper wannabe, but without any real success in life, rose to fame, presented as the very epitome of a victim in the equally destructive and mendacious oppressor-oppressed narrative of our time.
Subsequently, riots broke out across the country. For a start, the street protests may have evoked nostalgic memories of the 1960s civil rights battles—however, the agenda was completely different this time...

I agree that socialists and islamists have a common enemy - open society, enlightenment, and freedom.....Western Civilization. They are in the middle of their end goal of tearing it all down.
Anyone who reads this will understand what is going on and what will be going on.

Thanks for posting that link. The Holy Quran glorifies hatred, rape and murder.
Bingo.
And, like all tyrants they figure they will end up on top.
Technical articles of this sort are far beyond the reach of most of the public. Even here at FR a brief read of the excerpt does the author's piece no justice whatsoever. In fact, my initial reaction:
Sometimes they start out so well and then just crumble right out the gate:Then I clicked through and read the whole piece:Totalitarianism, whether it marches under the banners of fascism, socialism, or Islamism, has the Jews and free society as its enemies.I disagree. The author is remiss in ignoring the banners of 'anti-capitalism', 'anti-Zionism', 'wokeism', 'globalism' & 'climatism'...all 5 of which are greater enemies of the US Constitution than those outlined by the author and are lost in the fog of 'fascism/socialism/islamism' rhetoric to generations of simpletons here in the US...even though technically they all fall under the same heading.
The author nails it, but he exposes what Conservative FReepers already know and accomplishes absolutely nothing by publishing such a technical piece WAY over the head of a majority of the public.
It sort of motivates me to write about the hidden dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.../s
