When a nation has no identity, no core understanding of its own distinct culture or traditions, it has nothing to defend. Liberalism serves as the ideology of Western suicide because it strips the nation of that which is necessary for basic self-preservation.
00:01:15.120The consequences of transforming the population of Western nations should have been obvious,
00:01:19.880and progressives have been keen on doing exactly that for decades.
00:01:23.660It's only now, as the symbols of Western nations are pulled down by mobs of protesters bearing
00:01:28.700foreign flags, that liberals begin to grasp the consequences their ideology has wrought.
00:01:33.080Liberalism is the ideology of Western suicide, when once this initial and final sentence is understood, everything about liberalism, the beliefs, emotions, and values associated with it, the nature of its enchantment, its practical record, its future, falls into place.
00:01:54.820At the core of liberalism sits the mistaken belief that humans are a blank slate onto which any form can be pressed.
00:02:02.340For the liberal, it's the culture and institutions of a civilization that form the people, not the people who form the culture and institutions.
00:02:10.740This means that any individual or group could be replaced with any other individual or group with more or less the same result.
00:02:19.000If people are fungible and the West is simply an idea or a set of institutions, then there's no reason to restrict immigration to maintain the culture.
00:02:29.440The floodgates can be opened and the magical dirt of America or Britain will suddenly transform any new arrival into a good citizen.
00:02:38.180Liberalism holds that humans are rational actors who, when presented with compelling arguments,
00:02:43.140will sort through the available options and select from among them the ideas that are most advantageous to the civilization in which they live.
00:02:51.880No systems or beliefs are objectively true or inherently superior,
00:02:56.940but you just want the ones that can provide the most efficiency or prosperity to the individual.
00:03:02.440The invisible hand of the marketplace of ideas should, in theory, guide the democratic process that will then produce the most rational and advantageous outcome.
00:03:11.460But it's difficult to watch armies of clashing protesters reenact a conflict half a world away
00:03:17.420and believe that liberalism has selected what is best for the United States.
00:03:21.940When a nation has no identity, no core understanding of its own distinct culture or traditions, it has nothing to defend.
00:03:30.540Liberalism serves as the ideology of Western suicide because it strips the nation of that which is necessary for basic self-preservation.

00:05:12.000For a nation to survive, it must prefer its own culture, traditions, language, history, and folkways above any other.
00:05:20.340Throughout history, this preference was usually seen as innate because these aspects of civilization were understood to emanate from the character of the nation's people,
00:05:29.720not a checklist of ideological preferences accumulated through rational discourse.

00:06:01.020By exposing every societal axiom to the cold deconstruction of the marketplace,
00:06:10.500liberalism stripped away the fundamental nature of Western nations,
00:06:14.540leaving them spiritually rootless and open to attack.
00:06:18.020A nation without a strong foundation is incapable of defending itself against hostile ideologies or populations,
00:06:24.680and this has become painfully evident in the West.
00:06:27.240In America, university students and faculty have been preaching about the evils of the United States and whiteness for years,
00:06:35.440but only now that those chants have turned on Israel do many see the need to fight back.
00:06:41.180In Great Britain, migrant grooming gangs have victimized countless young English girls,
00:06:45.560but only now that those same mobs are chanting from the river to the sea are there calls for deportation.
00:06:52.320While it's nice for those who warned about immigration to finally receive some level of vindication,
00:06:57.960it's cold comfort that comes too late for the many victims who suffered as liberals put their ideology before the well-being of the nation.
00:07:05.020The rise of wokeness and the fact that such a hateful, illogical, and destructive belief system could gain hold in Western nations
00:07:13.720speaks to the incredible spiritual vulnerability liberalism creates.
00:07:19.300Ultimately, liberalism is the opiate meant to allow the West to accept its disillusion without a fight,
00:07:25.780but Burnham said this need not be the case.
00:07:28.240For Western nations to endure, they need only find the will to survive.
00:07:34.640In America, borders could be closed. Immigration could end.
00:07:38.620English could become the only language of the land.
00:07:41.520A strong preference for Christian tradition could be restored.
00:07:44.580And an unshakable commitment to the culture that founded the nation could be re-established.
00:07:49.620This would mean discarding the notions of an open cosmopolitan society, multiculturalism, and the blank slate.
00:07:56.560This would mean the end of liberalism.
00:07:59.740But if liberalism doesn't end, the West most certainly will.
