It appears as if the western world (America, Australia, Europe, England) is rapidly approaching a similar position to that which it occupied just prior to the 2nd World War. Mounting financial chaos, philosophical, moral and family breakdown, despair and an aristocratic/wealthy 'elite' with few scruples (Hollowmen!) who were willing and able to exploit these conditions to their advantage.
Is this an echo of what is to come once more? And yet the world's superpower seems exhausted by war, and the rest have no stomach. Nothing to live for translates very well into nothing to die for. Perhaps the new 21st Century Caliphate is closer than we think? Are we heading for T S Eliot's view of the end?
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
