You may have noticed that the enemies of the West no longer need to hide their animosity or their purpose. In the wake of my 2015 book, The Devil's Pleasure Palace, I was often asked what, exactly, did the Frankfurt School and its spawn in academe and its fellow travelers in the media desire in the wake of the collapse of Western civilization? What would follow the triumph of "Critical Theory"? A new communist paradise? The teleological resolution of their imaginary "arc of history"? The sunny uplands of "fairness," "equality," and even "equity"? None of those things, I replied. What they want is... nothing.
To assume that our ideological opponents want something is to play the game on their turf. It's a mistake we make constantly. We imagine that words mean the same thing when they use them as when we use them. We have accepted their protestations that they "only" want a new, post-revolutionary Brotherhood of Man when they speak glowingly of the future, when instead they're happy to stop with the destruction of the past two thousand years of history, and call it a job well done. We mistakenly assume that they want the same world that we do, only different, when in fact nihilism is their goal. To put it in contemporary terms, they are Jokers, the kind of men who only want to watch the world burn.

Nihilists...and narcissists.
There was a time when I would have answered that with Colonel Allen West, but he seems to have lost his mojo lately.
