The new WMD...........emotionalism as a weapon of mass distraction.
The chatterati have programmed Western populations for decades to live existentially, that is; to 'live in the moment', to do what 'feels right', to 'go with your heart' in other words to place emotion on the throne of your life, to deny reason and words as devices of 'patriarchal imperialism'.
Thus Spake Zarathustra...or rather Derrida, Foucault and Lyotard.
Now we are about to reap the whirlwind.
People respond only to emotion and if you bring reason to bear on a problem you are immediately labelled a: racist, homophobe, Islamophobe, hater, misogynist, etc etc. Discussion is shut down and you spend the rest of your time defending what you are not. The problem with that is that when discussion breaks down all that is left is violence and the 'gate-keepers of the West have been de programmed to countenance violence (save a few specialist warriors): thus we shall be overrun.
"Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage.” C. S. Lewis
