Elon Musk declares war. A disaster that could destroy Europe
[REGNUM] What until recently only right-wing intellectuals and experts who risked being "canceled" for intolerance allowed themselves to say was finally said by one of the most quoted people in the world, Elon Musk. "If current trends continue, civil war in Europe is inevitable ," he wrote on his page on the social network X (formerly Twitter, blocked in the Russian Federation).

Musk was referring to the migration policy of the European Union, which has flooded its countries with completely culturally alien aggressive aliens. But migrants, of course, are not the subject of this war. They are her tool, her weapon designed to crush the "repressive culture." At the same time, a significant part of Europeans themselves have long since completely disarmed.

...Gilbert Keith Chesterton, who was not only the author of popular detective stories about Father Brown, but also a profound Christian thinker, wrote in the last century: "The modern world is full of old Christian virtues that have gone mad. They have gone mad because they are divided. Thus, some scientists care about the truth, and their truth is merciless; and many humanists care only about pity. And their pity (I hate to say this) is often false . "

Today, this "gone crazy" humanism is actively used by the forces that are the "arsonists" of the global civil war.
We’re in Heinlein’s Crazy Years, just as he described them.
"Today Europe is oppressed and crushed by a gang of philosophers without morals, without religion and even without reason, who attack any concept of subordination and strive only for the overthrow of any power in order to take its place themselves, because in essence the matter is only about this." . No, this was not said by Elon Musk or any of our contemporaries, although the phrase very accurately describes the current situation.

These are the words of Joseph de Maistre, a brilliant conservative thinker, envoy of the King of Savoy at the court of the Russian Emperor Alexander I. That is, as you might guess, they were said two hundred years ago. And even then Count de Maistre saw a threat that has been fully realized in our days.

It was de Maistre’s contemporaries, primarily Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who introduced into European consciousness an idea that became the basis for all subsequent leftist utopias. Its essence is the assertion that man is by nature good, and the cause of all shortcomings is not in the dark aspects of human nature itself, but in unfavorable living conditions and various practices of suppression. Rousseau created the myth of the "noble savage." That is, he argued that it is civilization that spoils the initially good nature of man.

However, this idea of ​​"kindness" was born much earlier. Back in the distant 5th century, two theologians argued - Augustine and Pelagius. The first said that human nature is radically damaged by original sin and without God’s help he is not capable of anything good. And Pelagius said that it was no big deal, he was quite capable. The second was recognized as a heretic. But his idea has passed through the centuries. And it had the darkest and bloodiest consequences, despite the apparent "kindness" and humanity.

The same de Maistre quotes the words of the mayor of Arras, Joseph Le Bon, the organizer of mass executions during the Jacobin period of the French Revolution. After the Thermidoran coup, he himself was sentenced to death for his art. And on the steps of the scaffold he declared: "Rousseau’s philosophy killed me." But how can the thought of the good nature of man give rise to ideological murderers who practice terror as the main method of achieving universal happiness?

It’s very simple - from this thought there are only a couple of steps to the conclusion that in the name of realizing good it is enough to simply kill all the "evil" people who do not believe in this "good" and look at human nature differently.

The pinnacle of utopian consciousness is, of course, Marxism. People who lived in the Soviet era remember Lenin's formula of extreme fanatical faith: "The teaching of Marx is omnipotent because it is true."

And no historical failures prove anything to its adherents. Neo-Marxist philosopher Ernst Bloch, for example, declares: "When utopian humanism is not at all consistent with the present world, then so much the worse for this world, the more valuable and fruitful is rightfully the thinking of justice."

It has long been no secret that after the Second World War, Marxists in the West, faced with the fact that the proletariat - due to radically improved working conditions and pay - could not be raised to revolt, went to universities to become professors. Even then, the adherents of utopia chose students, migrants, and representatives of minorities as new instruments for realizing "justice."

And by the beginning of the 21st century, they had captured the minds of a significant part of the Western elite. What about migrants? Migrants are a necessary tool, they are the most militant part of the "new proletariat", with the help of which it is possible to realize exactly what de Maistre warned about: to destroy "any concept of subordination" and come to "the overthrow of any power in order to occupy it ourselves." place".
