Ahnaf Ibn Qais thinks it is far too late. He writes,
“Britain has entered the phase where its people, unable to halt their unravelling, choose instead to ritualize it in public, draping death in bunting [and flags] calling it resistance.
“Slogans without substance, policies designed to appear decisive but crafted to alter nothing.
“This is the essence of technopopulism, the late style of a hollow order; populist sound married to technocratic gestures, producing only the pantomime of control.
“It is order staged as performance: an institution that cannot command obedience simulating strength through spectacle. Yet those who gather outside hotels or march under bunting read the simulation for what it is:
“The last convulsions of a state that survives only by appearance.”
What is being released right now is not transparency.
It is controlled disclosure.
Fragments.
Selective timing.
Curated narratives.
Carefully engineered confusion.
Enough to distract.

“Our problem as Americans is we actually hate history. What we love is nostalgia.’

“Here’s an uncomfortable truth about the Epstein accusations: We only find them morally reprehensible because of Christianity. Before the spread of Christianity, ‘civilized’ Greek and Roman elites openly flaunted underage s*x slaves. This was normal. Emperor Hadrian built an entire city in honor of his favorite boy… If you undercut the moral foundations of Christianity from the West, culture reverts back to pagan norms.”
