The
answer to the overnight senseless slaughter of the innocent in Paris is known as a reasoned set of integrated ideas: classical liberalism. A philosophy and economics hard
fought for from the Enlightenment that took the West to the pinnacle human
civilisation once reached.
Although
more simply, the answer is that unit-of-philosophy which informs classical liberalism:
I * N * D * I *
V * I * D * U * A * L * I * S * M
Meaning
the enemy is that repulsive reductivism of every identity politick, and every
barbaric religion, that forces tribalism and sacrifice, and of every campus ‘safe place’ where the war of ideas
against these cavemen from a death cult has been banned in case
someone’s feelings are hurt.
Paris
happened because the West was lost decades ago under the berets of Left
intellectuals.
So
I will not adorn this blog or my Twitter account with the French flag, now only
the symbol of the indentity politick of a rampant French cultural Marxism, or
worse, that ‘as-bad’ idea-set under which millions have been slaughtered,
namely, nationalism. (Poignant I tune into this morning’s Q&A and find they’re
pointlessly discussing the New Zealand flag.)
The
only important picture to hold in our minds is of the individuals whose lives
have been snuffed out to the void, which is the empty mind of every
collectivist or theocrat who has handed over volition and responsibility for
their actions to an Other – the State, Christ, Allah, Sauron, any other childish fantasy
you can think of - and thereby chosen to become a monster. And a collectivism
that would reduce these viciously murdered individuals to pointless symbols,
which they were not, for they were thinking, warm blooded individuals just
like you and me. Paris, last night, is the price paid when a society chooses to emote itself
away from the only legitimate role of state: the protection of its smallest
minority, an individual, and to instead sacrifice all individuals to the
common good.
...for they were thinking...
ReplyDeleteLooking at what Europeans have allowed into their great pinnacle of civilisation and the self indulgence of the youth I would argue that thinking was the main thing missing.

Definitely. Under the Left, policy is only about emoting now ...
