The Foundation of the West is Rocked as Tribalism Becomes Normality

In our modern digital age, news comes at you fast. Never before has the spread of information traveled so quickly in history, never before has social media been so influential and never before have problems been exacerbated so rapidly.

The West is in turmoil and chaos continues to seep into the very fibers of the institutions that the global elites have built up over the last century, institutions that are now finding themselves under assault.

Anyone who is paying attention, or reading my series of articles, knows that there is a massive shift occurring in the zeitgeist of the West, a shift that only occurs once in a lifetime, or possibly not at all.

We truly do live in interesting times, but they are dangerous too. The risk of structural collapse in many of our political systems is at all time highs, with citizens all across the West demanding change from their leaders.

Rapidly, people are descending into "tribes", as they become consumed with self-reassuring, confirmation bias assuaging articles, written by their fellow "tribe" members. 

Whether this comes from the "radical left", or the "alt right", it doesn't matter. What does is the damage that it is doing to our systems, and the risk that they now pose to the dwindling minority of sane centralist.

We are seeing this change unfold in front of our very eyes, and scarcely does a day go by where we don't read about another "crisis", or situation that threatens the very fabric of our society.

Within the past week alone, depending on which "tribe" you belogn to, there have been numerous victories, or catastrophes develop in rapid succession.

President Trump has scored another major victory in the name of conservatives within the United States, as last night he announced the nomination of his second Supreme Court pick, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, after Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement just a few week's ago.

Displaying true tribalism, far left protest groups planned protests to Trumps nomination well in advance, despite not knowing who the pick would be, or what their past track record was. Essentially causing them to create a series of talking points that they could pick from and fill in the blanks.

Proof of their willingness to protest whoever Trump picked was displayed via photos taken at last nights event, where multiple signs, displaying various names were printed;

Obviously, this is a completely irrational way of pushing your ideology and severely discredits your movement. Regardless of this, the protests continued onward anyway, with the MSM closely covering the event and of course, refuses to point out key factual points, something that they have become increasingly efficient at as they descend into tabloid status.

As much as this news is making waves on this side of the "pond", on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, things are even more dire.

Theresa May has found herself on the end of a full blown mutiny within her party, as she continues to lose the support of her peers and the public at large.

This has been a rapid descent, as many within the British public have begun to openly criticize her for her role within the BREXIT negotiations.

She has taken a very soft approach in regards to negotiations, an approach that has left the UK at the mercy of the European Union, as she continues to relent to their ever increasing demands.

This however is not going to continue on, a massive shift is occurring, as numerous key members of her party have signed their resignation letters, including Boris Johnson, whom many would like to see as the next Prime Minister.

I predict that ultimately, this is going to result in Theresa May stepping down herself, even as she continues to plead for unity within her party.

These two stories alone would be massive news, but the fact that they are occurring within a week of each other just goes to show how quickly the times are accelerating and just how unstable the current systems within the West are.

Madness is seemingly all around us, much of which is made that much worse by the MSM, who blows every small detail out of proportion, and recklessly, selectively reports on only the facts that help push their narratives.

Truly, this is one of the most unstable time periods within modern history, and one that could see a cascading chain of events unfold at any moments notice. Be prepared, be alert, be a part of the solution, spread the truth.
