We know things are getting bad when we see in mainstream money mags like the Wall Street Journal, articles entitled, “If Western Civilization Dies, Put it Down as a Suicide,” by Gerard Baker. He is dismayed at the dangers that woke poses to capitalism, as the best people are likely not to be hired over those who meet a woke agenda. Baker does not mention Bud Light beers trans adventure which is an example of ideology trumping business sense, destroying its market base. But, this reflects a wider problem for the West: “If we are losing, it is because we are losing our soul, our sense of purpose as a society, our identity as a civilization. We in the West are in the grip of an ideology that disowns our genius, denounces our success, disdains merit, elevates victimhood, embraces societal self-loathing and enforces it all in a web of exclusionary and authoritarian rules, large and small.”
We say this every day, but now we hear it from a leading business source.
