Gee’s Reviews > The Collapse of Global Liberalism: And the Emergence of the Post-liberal World Order > Status Update

Liberal military doctrine, as we have seen earlier in the book, is a mess. It conceives of warfare as some sort of march of progress rather than what it actually is: a clash of blood and steel. In their desire to impose their progress heuristic onto everything in existence, liberals have even tried to rationalize the mass killing of human beings.

Religion is, on a sociological level at least, a system of social hierarchy;
religions are sets of ideas that impose hierarchies — moral, social, even political — on societies. Religions order societies. In this sense, liberalism
must be opposed to religion at the most fundamental level

There is no final mythical telos we eventually
arrive at where the world is in, as Kant put it, ‘perpetual peace’. In fact, trying to achieve such an ideological perpetual peace will likely only
result in increased violence as men try to force this unnatural state of affairs on the world

It is all well and good to deploy liberal nostrums when they suit the goals of a given state, but at a certain point the believing liberals who take the
ideology seriously start to push the ideology itself as their main goal and try to subordinate the interests of the state to it. Liberal ideology,
when deployed in foreign affairs, is dangerous medicine; drink too much and you might become intoxicated.

Sixty three percent of homeless people have
substance abuse problems, which largely overlap with the major psychiatric disorders as severely mentally ill people who stop taking their
medication often self-medicate with drugs and alcohol. This should be obvious to anyone who has visited a major city. But we politely ignore it. Why?
Arguably because of how shameful this product of late liberal ideology is.

Because their ideology is based on total equality, liberals think of human beings as interchangeable. For this reason, they cannot see why importing large numbers of people from other
cultures might be politically and socially destabilizing. But just because liberals were ideologically blind to political and social challenges to mass migration did not mean that these challenges failed to make themselves
felt

recognize liberalism for what it is: not just a highly dysfunctional social system that leads to population collapse, but also a levelling ideology that reduces moral scruples and transports humanity back to barbarism back to a state of
nature. There is no progress in liberalism. This is merely a conceit on the part of the liberal ideologues

Liberalism rests on the idea of equality. Replacing normal interpersonal relationships with contracts is premised on the idea that people can compete for these contracts on the basis that they are equal. But the reality is that equality does not exist in most spheres, and in the sphere of interpersonal
sexual relationships the inequality is extremely obvious: some people are just more attractive than others

Liberalism is forming broken, atomized people who are unable to pass on their genes to a future generation — arguably the most basic function of any biological entity. It is obvious to anyone living in liberal societies what is causing this: the liberal
lifestyle being offered to young people. Late liberal society actively encourages young people to focus on themselves, their careers and their consumption
