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.”
“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.”

Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
