5/22/13, "The Manhood of the West," Richard Fernandez, Belmont Club, via PJM
"A British soldier was decapitated
a few hundred yards from a UK Army base by two men with large knives
and saying ‘ we swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting
you’. The men were shot when police responded 20 minutes later....
"This is the dramatic moment a woman appears to remonstrate with a man carrying a knife following a brutal attack in Woolwich."...
The Telegraph describes the behavior of the onlookers....
"There were brave women with the dead guy on the floor, they were
shielding and covering him. The attackers with the knives were standing
over these women."...
This incident illustrates, if nothing else, the endpoint of the
social engineering of the West. It has been remarkably effective. From a
certain point of view the British crowd behaved perfectly and this is
the way “they” all want us to behave. The populace sheltered in place,
didn’t do anything rash, talked to the perpetrators as people. They
waited for the police to come and the hospital helicopter to take the
corpse away. Some will doubtless get counseling to overcome their
shattering experience.
And then they will congratulate themselves on how tough British
society is; resilience and all that. The more caring will leave some
flowers by a railing and hold a few candle vigils for healing and peace,
until these wither and blow away and the news cycle washes up a new
object of attention.
The attackers knew they were actors in a drama — as keenly watched in
their communities as on the BBC. And in that other audience they were
asking, “how will the locals behave”. We know now.
And that other
audience may derive an entirely different lesson from this tableau.
“See? Only their women act like men. They follow orders. They are
nothing any more — these Westerners. They are a civilization whose core
has been destroyed.”
And would they be right? Who will be the judge?
"And all the time — such is the tragi-comedy of our
situation — we continue to clamor for those very qualities we are
rendering impossible. You can hardly open a periodical without coming
across the statement that what our civilization needs is more ‘drive’,
or dynamism, or self-sacrifice, or ‘creativity’. In a sort of ghastly
simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men
without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at
honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and
bid the geldings be fruitful."
