The Moral Bankruptcy of the West?

Professor Mearsheimer‘s Christmas blog post is a condemnation of “civilization” >>

Moral bankruptcy implies that there was a time when the West was moral. That’s just too kind. It’s just not what we learn from history.

Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn puts the genocide in Gaza in perspective. What is important to notice is the silence of our leaders, and the silence of the media.

Capitalism has killed our democracy, if we ever had it at all.

The pretense of international law is over. There are no human rights. Our institutions are simply PR agencies for evil.

If we can’t stop a genocide in broad daylight, how will we ever stop the climate collapse?

We won’t. The billionaires who run this world have decided that war and fascism are preferable to paying taxes. They will be cursed by history – and by all who have the mind to see.

Our fate – well deserved – is extinction. Stupidity is not regenerative.

Can we stop the madness?
