Today I shared a post I didn’t even write. It made a political point using an analogy between an 80-year-old woman and a 30-year-old woman. Some people jumped in to accuse me of misogyny.

That reaction has nothing to do with women. It has everything to do with a culture that has lost its ability to tell the simplest truth in order not to offend anyone.

This has nothing to do with kindness. It is stupid sensitivity born out of dark self-righteousness.

Healthy, secure women don’t give a shit if we say that women in their 30s are physically more beautiful than them. They don’t care if we say that women in their 80s can’t give birth anymore. Only sick women care.

Society has submitted to the conditions of sick people and made them the norm. Now the entire population has to walk through landmines to avoid offending the stupid.

This culture has made the West incapable of saying simple, obvious things: that not all cultures are equal, that not all religions are compatible with liberal democracy, that not all value systems can coexist, that some ideas are superior.

When a civilization abandons truth, inferior ideologies rush in, ideologies that have no problem judging, enforcing, dominating, and demanding submission.

While the West is busy debating tone and intent, others are asserting authority and power without hesitation.

This is how civilizational suicide happens.

A society that can’t speak honestly about the superiority of it's culture can't integrate newcomers. A society that can’t criticize foreign belief systems can’t defend its values. A society that prioritizes not offending over being correct can’t survive.

Weak cultures do not remain free. They get reshaped by those who are willing to say what they refuse to say, believe what they refuse to believe, and enforce what they refuse to defend.
