"Occasionally I subject myself to leftist and centrist YouTubers, people of between 20 and 50 years of age, and I am always staggered by their vacuity. Their thinking is limited and immature and blind, and is never going to take them anywhere respectable, because their lives contain nothing transcendent.

The women have duty but no direction, because the men have no reverence, only vanity. For both sexes, the self is supreme, and it interacts with the world only through buying things and espousing precious abstract “values”. There is no tangible external thing which the men serve, so their beliefs only serve their own vain self-image. What you have is men in a state of arrested development, still with the sensibilities of 15-year-olds when they are 40. Unaware that they should be serving something, they spend their lives drifting in a futile quest for validation. In the meantime, they have infantile notions of society and people and what life is all about, or should be all about, or could be all about. To listen to one of these grown men grappling with moral or political conundra is like listening to a 6-year-old boy talking about his action figures.

Reverence, as an emotion and an approach to life, is unknown to most Westerners today. Should you try to convey its importance to them, you will be met with scoffs, chuckles, baffled looks, and mocking remarks.

The less intelligent among them will recall the comforting promises of democracy and feel genuine outrage at the idea of being “forced” to revere anything, the very idea that someone else — anyone else — can, should or might try to “tell me how to think”. (In fact, they are told what to think every second of their lives, but they haven’t the capacity to realise this, so instead fondly imagine that they come up with it all themselves.)

The more intelligent among them will, deep down, suspect that you might be right, but they will have no idea how or why you would be right. They have no frame of reference. Your suggestion (revere something) even seems to contradict their learning (all is equal), but in any case they have no vocabulary for it, so they cannot even begin to investigate the matter."

Schnell could not do that,” Gross adds. Gross, now retired, remembers feeling “totally helpless” at the time.’

I don’t know whether this chap has read H.G. Wells, but the bit he’s missing out is that a Morlock will occasionally take an Eloi.

Talking about social media censorship, I just drove past #Brickgate 2016, where would-be Labour leader Angela Eagle gained the nation's sympathy after a brick was (n't) thrown through her constituency office window. The originator of this tall tale was her then publicity man, now CEO of the Campaign to Counter Digital Hate, Imran Ahmed. Bless! 🙌

Send him to Belfast, then. He’s just in time for marching season!
