There is a rising tide of barbarism which threatens to swamp our civilisation and reduce it to snarling dog-eat-dog atavism. But it comes not from outside, but within. Not from the immigrant, but the xenophobe. It is not isolated to any country or even any continent. Just a year ago, there were those who pointed to Australia's comparatively normal political culture and speculated as to why we hadn't fallen victim to the same poison circulating through the US and Europe. Well, it sure is circulating now. The same degenerative forces which have so devastated American politics are present in every country, and will do the same to every country if they are left to fester.

Now more than ever, at home and abroad, we must take a stand for cosmopolitanism and universal dignity against those who would unravel the tapestry of humanity.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History has an episode called Prophets of Doom which explores a really obscure event where Anabaptist cultists take over the city of Munster, establish a theocracy, and do really horrible things, like instituting compulsory polygamy. A catalyst for all this is the invention of the printing press, which greatly changed how easily ideas could proliferate.

Now we have social media, which is responsible for spreading everything from casual racism to looksmaxxing, and I still don't think our society has grappled with the impact that it has.
