When the West Began Dying

“ 1914 -- The West Starts Dying WAR Here's a view of history (American Thinker) that most of us have not been taught; certainly not today, when history is barely taught at all. This essay certainly challenges the view most Americans have of what's really been going on over the past 100 years. The phrase that comes to mind is "Read it and weep."   Stu Tarlowe (via skoonj)   Aside: I think the degree to which individuals are repulsed by each of these two (rollover) pictures will say much about them.  When WWI ended, European society would be forever broken.  It has not recovered. Right now, demographic rates show that Europe is not even reproducing itself at replacement levels.  Europe has lost the will to live.  Patriotism is all but dead in Western Europe.  Religion is dead.  Most West European nations are nowhere near American church attendance. It is easy for us Americans to criticize the Europeans; but we did not go through the horrors of the Napoleonic Wars, World War I, and World War II in our own backyard.  58,000 dead in Vietnam over a decade was enough to bring us Americans to social disruption.  Europe saw that many die in one day during the Napoleonic Wars at Borodino. ... Russian forces fought Napoleon's men in the apocalyptic Battle of Borodino, leaving 70,000 people dead  - LA TIMES Starting in 1914, Western Civilization collapsed.   Even the victory of 1918 by the Allies could not hide the damage.   Since then, despite its rising prosperity, the West has lost the will to live… as evinced by it collapsing demographic – and abortion rates where the West kills its unborn.    The White race went from being supremacists to having an inferiority complex. We in America are presently the last redoubt of the West.  We may not be in as severe a retreat as the rest of the West, but we are retreating.  We have to do some serious soul searching if Western Civilization is to survive.  Europe may be lost. A hundred years after 1914, on the anniversary of the disaster, the West has to change its attitude and policies.   [Full Article] In a nutshell; "Woodrow Wilson" ”
