Since the plague I have been munching much upon history, all the way from Alexander and his pappy via the Persians, other dart picks in the known world from St. Petersburg to Londinium, via Alexandria and Babylon and Jerusalem ( always for what it is worth just a dusty circumcised godforsaken outpost long overdue for a pillage and over which those of a religious peanut brain over fight ), finally Rome and the Enlightenment and to Washington, the latter being hard to beat in more ways than one.
So when we say “WE” or “US” perhaps we need to pin it down, is it DC and the mob about to be led again by the Orange Loon as Rome was by Nero with no great disaster for their mis-rule, or is it the post Enlightenment World, or even Christianity itself as argued by Tom Holland?
I know who I’m agin ! Its just the faces keep changing.
But who are WE ?
Perhaps this is not the right thread, or even the right forum. So maybe back to U-Toob and Murray, Peterson and their jolly mob. I’m agin totalitarianism,The Great Khan, XiPing, Putin, Assad, the Utter Mullahs and a host of minor finger lickin’ bloodied fingers raising their hands to a slave owning god.
But who are we? What is The West ? And is it worth dying for ? Should Xi send the price of TSM Taiwan Semi-Conductor Manufacturing from its present $99 down to $3.50 in a week, will we all just shrug our shoulders and begin to study Mandarin?
