In what way does all of the political malice, deceit, and bad policy come to a head?

 I am probably undercounting the ways, but from my personal observations as a rigorous follower of events across the globe, all of these aspect streams point to a future marked by the following trends. If not counteracted, we will likely see:

·a proliferation of various cultures of victimhood;

·demands to restrict freedom of speech and stifle debate using the notion of being offended and triggered;

·the blacklisting/boycotting of opponents for ideological reasons;

·the politicization of the sciences, including such organizations as the WHO and the EPA, the CDC in the United States plus their adjuncts elsewhere in the West;

·An ever-increasing surveillance state coupled with the ease at which people are willing to forgo their individual sovereignty in the name of security and safety;

·repeated demands for activist judges to undermine democratically elected bodies/persons;

·the dangerously short pipeline between media, big tech, and governmental institutions at the expense of local and effective decision-making;

·globalist anti-border policies and the off-shoring of manufacturing initiatives that weaken the nation-states;

·Appeasement of Beijing by moneyed and political interests in the West:

·Contempt for the rule of law and due process of law. Included in this is the differential application of the law based on identity characteristics.

Liberalism v Leftism... A quick reminder.

Liberalism is a political philosophy that emerged during the Age of Reason in 17th-century England. At its core, it is centered on the notion of liberty. The philosophy emphasizes the necessary exchange of ideas, free speech and openness to debate, free markets, private ownership of property, and the rule of law. Liberalism values a political system (republican, parliamentary, or some other facsimile) built on a foundation of scientific rationalism, empiricism, and healthy skepticism. Individual rights sit at the cornerstone of liberalism.

Leftism is a useful group name for the philosophies that emerge from the extremes of progressivism. On an extended level, it is a grouping of thought structures that are motivated by a litany of attacks on empiricism and established norms in favor of an eventual utopia.

In Leftism, there is a need for a nouveau elite who will carry through the necessary collectivist programs of social engineering. Leftists believe that the environment is the critical variable that can be manipulated to establish their specific utopia. The individual, by necessity, will always be secondary to the collective.
