No culture- Nihilism- just as Dostoyevsky said.

Canem Malum,
Scary parallels going on here now !

Kudos Indyvidual.

Academic CM.

But the beauty of global wars of the past were, that the young and the restless were given over to sacrifice, and as such, conservatism was reinforced in their absence.

In the case of Russia, and Germany alike of the period of Dostoyevskies novels themed on evil Communism, those youthful still living, became embittered: Not only embittered, but brutalised.

It’s too simple to conclude that Nihilism simply drifted in through the window with a revolution.

This is not the case in our time of madness, where the opposite is actually occurring.

Ours is a period of unprecedented affluence; theirs was a time of destitution and political chaos. Theirs was a time of political vacuum, ours now a time of division based on the distribution of wealth and political power towards managerial elites and their cohorts.
A vote is a fruitless exercise of self delusion.

What we witness is the complete destruction of Democracy as was once respected and taught as the noble ambition to preserve.
The preservation of a core being or value of equality, and an egalitarianism based on social wellbeing.

We suffer a different madness in the decline, which has taken managerialism to God status.
