“Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.” Gender policy is one such slow form of demise. The West does not need any external enemies to bring about the proverbial collapse of our civilization; we are doing it to ourselves.

A moral question lingers for both Americans and Europeans, 30 years after the Ruby Ridge incident: do we as citizens have the right to isolate ourselves and effectively secede from the rest of society? If we try to do so, does the government have the right to intervene and force us back under its jurisdiction?

A misinformed ideal of humanitarianism has American and European ruling parties recklessly pushing open borders without considering the costs or long-term consequences—not just for the host country but also for the mass influx of immigrants.

They help us feel the burden of our role as custodians of a national inheritance, so that Britain’s most precious features, while subject to repair and improvement where possible, are carried to future generations. In this sense, a country’s rituals are a sign of respect for the past, not blind deference to its every jot and tittle.
