But the modern West runs on hatred. We must have someone to hate to motivate ourselves. In foreign policy, it’s a procession of “Hitler-like” (the CIA pinkie swears it) enemies. In domestic policy, it’s jihad against those who don’t buy into our PC palliatives. And on a personal level, we’re always looking for whoever it was we think wronged us.

All of this conceals an ugly little secret, so deeply buried and pervasive and twisted that if they knew about it, the Chinese would hold a fire sale for our currencies. This secret is: we hate ourselves. There, I’ve let it out of the bag. But you don’t believe?

Our literature emphasizes how controlling and manipulative society is. Our music and movies emphasize escapism, another vote of no confidence in reality. Our intellectuals loathe society, but have no solutions and drink too much to match. Even our religion is based on closing our eyes to the now and waiting for heaven.
