Tragedies abound. Humanity, in its mortal coils, is beset by them. Often, they are self-inflicted. Plunder, rape, murder, treason, and conflicts are nothing other than the manifestations of man’s war of all against all in perpetuum, irrespective of race or creed.
“Crimes against other men are committed when emotions, which spur us to action, are corrupt and rise in revolt, without control”, wrote Saint Augustine in Confessions, published circa 400 AD.
When unconstrained passions burst out of society’s necessary moral straitjacket, crimes are committed. These, then, are a by-product of man’s fallen and covetous nature, forever seeking to emancipate itself from revealed truths. They are shadows to our civilisation’s light.
To determine what world we live in, therefore, crimes are less important than the official reaction to them. It is the reaction that reveals all.
Do we live in a society in which the reaction to a crime is empathetic to the victim, followed by a desire for just retribution for the culprit? Or do we, instead, live in one which sides with the culprit, wishing instead to silence the victim?
If the latter, what does it imply? A pattern seems to have emerged in the United States and the United Kingdom that sheds light on this question. Iryna Zarutska, for instance, was a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee and a “passionate artist”.
Iryna Zarutska's murder exposes the great delusion of our time. Hence the wall of silence - Alex Story | X
She was stabbed to death by Decarlos Brown Jr. in an unprovoked attack in Charlotte, North Carolina, on August 22nd. “I got that white girl”, he allegedly was heard saying.
Three weeks later, news of her slaughter was released. Instantly, the innocent Iryana disappeared in an outpouring of sympathy for Decarlos.
The New York Times, in an op-ed, seemed concerned that the murder would ignite “a firestorm on the Right”. Even the grammar, unwittingly used, one suspects, to report the slaughter dehumanised her, while aggrandising him in the process.
“The crime was committed by a Black man against a white woman”, opined the editorial, using an uppercase “B” for Black and lowercase “w” for white.
This detail confirmed, if any doubt persisted, that the new Critical Race and Anti-Racism theology, which sees everything through the Hitlerian prism of Race, is now the official religion.
In this satanic doctrine, “Race” determines guilt as well as the sympathy dosage. Miss Zarutska’s murder was an embarrassment to that new establishment.
She ticked most of Victimhood’s boxes, bar one. Her race did not match the empathy matrix. We, in Britain, recognise the near silence that greeted Iryana’s death.
The prepubescent girls of Rotherham and beyond were given a similar treatment, with one caveat. Their rapes were not just ignored; they were blamed on the girls themselves. “The view was that they were little slags” Lady Louise Casey wrote in her 2015 findings.
Alexis Hay’s Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Exploitation wrote that nothing was done, because it would “be 'giving oxygen' to racist perspectives”, threatening “community cohesion”.
As we would find out eventually, it was, in fact, much worse than both Casey and Hay allowed. Jess Phillips MP stood in Parliament on September 2nd 2025, and spoke: “I would be lying if I said over the years I haven't met girls who talk to me about how police were part of the perpetration not just the cover-up”.
You see, the Police couldn’t report on crimes they themselves committed. Without a doubt, this was one of the most shocking admissions ever made in parliament.
Unsurprisingly, it was met by a wall of official silence, while the victims multiply.“Giving oxygen” to “racists” for the sake of “community cohesion” and fear of igniting “a firestorm on the Right” in the United Kingdom and the US, respectively are signals that victims are incidental to the officially desired transformation of both countries into the progressive world of multiculturalism.
Victims are an inconvenient roadblock and must be silenced. When pressure on officials leads to data being released, the next stage is to attack those who noticed their daughters being attacked, raped and humiliated as “Far Right”.
Anyone labelled as such, as the late Charlie Kirk found out, is deemed beyond the Pale and, to some, up for removal. As Mr Kirk’s body hit the ground, his memory was instantly slandered. His Christian views, as well as the ones we, whether we like it or not, grew up with, were, as were his and our flags, “Fascist”.
The knee-jerk branding is automatic. The insults establish a political geography, an irreformable state of mind and the modern world’s most unforgivable sin. He is “right-wing”, a “bigot”, and a “racist”. Self-constraint is a key attribute of a balanced society. Reciprocity is the cornerstone on which all is built. Both, though, have disappeared.
Men are no longer treated as equals, per se. Lady Justice looks at your skin (and religion) to determine the content of your character. “Evil”, continued Saint Augustin, “is nothing other than the removal of good until finally nothing good remains”.
A lot of “good” has been removed over a short period of time. In the vacuum, the pus of the Race Theology has fully permeated much of the Western World’s dominant institutions.
Evil, then, is all that seems to remain. But hope there might be after all. Out of doomed laden skies, two doves of reconciliation unexpectedly appeared over the horizon.
The first, Sir Trevor Phillips, said of the recent Unite the Kingdom march on September 13th that most of the people attending were “normal”, not far Right.
The other was an unlikely message from Clive Lewis MP, who allowed for some rare nuance. A friend of his, he wrote, was attending the march because “the government doesn’t listen to us” and “I want to feel proud of my country again”.
The Labour MP continued: “Pretending they’re all racists or fascists would be a massive mistake”, adding: “He’s a bundle of contradictions! But aren’t we all?”
If this introspective message is genuine, then a conversation among peers might be possible, a balance found, and reciprocity reinstated. If that is the case, there is still all to play for.
