In Strauss and Howe's The Fourth Turning, the last stage of the cycle involves a series of crises, where the established order is torn down, often through war or revolution, in which institutional life is destroyed and rebuilt in response to a perceived threat to the nation's survival. This is where we find ourselves.

Our overlords, who don't want to forego their priviledged status, are responding by undermining any organized challenge. Mass migration, destruction of cultural symbols and values, denigration of religious and artistic works, re-writing of history, fermentation of racial and political divisions, redefinition of biological attributes, incitement of wars, etc. are all designed to confuse, demoralise and fracture social cohesion.

Regretably, by doing so, they are also destroying the very world that they trying to control, and we will all be the poorer for it.
