... they may have noticed that in my latest book about war I seemingly go on a strange tangent, but it is not strange. It is directly related to the issue. Here it is.
But even more has been accomplished by Russia in staring down a combined West. Modern Western culture has become recognized as ugly in every sense of the word, from freak shows at the demonstration of fashions, to people looking increasingly dirty from tattoos covering their bodies, to the body positive movement extolling unhealthy and aesthetically repulsive lifestyles, to the rampant use of drugs. The modern West has lost the understanding of beauty. The late Roger Scruton warned: “Beauty is vanishing from our world because we live as though it did not matter.” It has almost completely vanished, pushed out by the post-modernist dystopia and perversion of the Western intelligentsia. As Dostoevsky wrote in The Idiot, “Beauty will save the world.” The West has lost the meaning of and desire for beauty, thus losing the tool for its own salvation, and the world has taken note.
And here is a very good video which speaks about the same.
No beauty, no appreciating it--one gets into what modern West and its proxy had become.
