The West will not pull itself up by its own bootstraps. Recovery when it finally comes will be imported from elsewhere where intellect still lives not just in the margins but where it pervades, makes impact on civilization.
Discapability, the outcome of incapability by design, intentional disabling, is everywhere. Everything in the West after a long decline, is dis-capable. The degradation is so total that the dead wood is burned already, even the dry tinder up in smoke, gone. There’s nothing remaining to rekindle.
Everything is a lie, every institution a hollowed out joke, every persona a clown stooge or criminal grifter. Competence hardly remains in living memory.
From the margins, among the last glowing small embers in a cold stove:

"Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and several others suddenly decided in 2011 that they would overthrow the Syrian government in 2011. This is a typical regime change operation. This is what created the war and the flow of refugees to Europe! Have any of the European leaders said a word? How did they explain this to the public? And now they are wondering why their popularity is so low. Well, if you don't tell the truth to your constituents, then what do you expect? You see, these hegemonic wars of the United States are not in the interests of Europe. And now this is the same as supporting Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip. This is not a question of right or left. This is a question of what is Europe interested in now? And the answer is not that there will be a blitzkrieg war in the Middle East right now.”
Jeffrey Sachs, economist, the director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University.
In the United States, the population went all-in on these things, because “my team” (Obama, Clinton, “not Bush’, later “not Trump”…)
I wrote about this since 2011. This — Syria since 2011, then repeating the same playbook in 2014 in Ukraine — this is why all my decades-long friendships among American liberals at home ended in 2015. Because they supported all of this and I was against it. First they mocked, then attacked me for it.
Well they can all suck a bag of dicks and in fact they DID. They all got jabbed many times. They sucked that jab dick over and over again BECAUSE they believed it inoculated them against TRUMP.
A 7 year (so far) freak out over a bogeyman they made GIANT in their minds. And then they believed Trump didn’t “support ‘the science’” enough so they jabbed themselves over and over and over and over again, and wore masks and locked down….
Intellectual decline to zero.
Recovery is irretrievable.
