Voters in the European elections did not show much understanding of their dangerous state of collapse. Remarks Simplicius, "Civic virtue has died because our culture has been poisoned beyond rehabilitation. Even if you were to clear the slate of techno- and bureaucracy you’d be left with the stupefied degenerate masses too gormless to be ruled justly and virtuously."
Adds Mark Wauck, "[The people] are sick. Society has been reduced, largely, to a collection of atomistic individuals lacking the unifying principle of a culture rooted in a moral and metaphysical vision. That was Christendom, which seemingly is no more—replaced by the profit motive or, in our all embracing welfare New Deal, the plaintive cry: Where’s mine?"
The simple solution to all of the above: the people could embrace and restore Christendom, and then take it to even more robust and longer-lasting levels of cultural influence.
“The decline of community in the modern world has as its inevitable religious consequence the creation of masses of helpless, bewildered individuals who are unable to find solace in Christianity regarded merely as creed.”

America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism. Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
