Is Uncle Sam committing suicide or being euthenised?

Are we witnessing what a French conservative magazine recently called The Suicide of America?

Or a sort of euthanasia. Killing Uncle Sam softly with kindness?

America is a country that has gone from barbarism to decadence without a period of civilisation in between. I thought HL Mencken said that but apparently it was Georges Clemenceau.

I agree with most of this article by Taki, including what Taki says about Mrs Thatcher, whom I disliked at the time. The Neo-con pseudo-conservatives are to blame for the state America is in as much as the left.

I think his advice to America to befriend Vladimir Putin won't work, because it was tried by Bush junior, who looked into his eyes and found him very straightforward, Hillary and the Donald. But it is important to try to divide China and Russia, if possible.

I have always had very ambiguous feelings about America. I admire Americans' religiosity, their parochialism, their unabashed patriotism, their lack of understanding of irony, their love of freedom, their manliness.

These things seem to be dying out among people under 35.

I always associated them with modernity, which is something I dislike, but now with imperial measurements, Fahrenheit and the death penalty they seem rather old-fashioned.


I love very much their First Amendment which guarantees freedom of speech, something from which the whole world benefits via the internet. I like the way in fact that they are a genuine democracy, with limited government, states' rights.

A democracy where men go from log cabin to the White House. 

Harry Truman was a draper. Donald Trump could not have come to power in Europe or the British Isles. [A mistake that readers have corrected. I forgot Berlusconi. I also forgot Eric Zemmour.] 

The way they never get embarrassed is a very great strength and that never changes.

I could make a long list of things I do not like. They are a country without roots or hierarchy, without a landed class or state religion, formed from people who went there to make money or went there as slaves. Slavery and the disappearance of most of the indigenous peoples are the basis of their society. I fully agree with the left on that. But then the American Indians came from somewhere else too, as did the English.

I dislike their Calvinism and their liberal idealism which is a secular form of Calvinism. 

An American friend, his mother a French Algerian Jewish immigrant and his father a Romanian-Hungarian British immigrant, hates the place and says it is completely soulless. The small town America of Frank Capra and WC Fields films and Mark Twain is long gone, he says.

I came to like America more under Donald Trump than under George W. Bush and now much less under Joe Biden. 

But, regardless of who the president is, America has long been is the biggest threat to the world. 

The 1960s social revolution began in America, to a certain extent it began with American Communists, and it culminates in Woke.

England has been a cultural colony of America since 1940 and has the disease bad.

The last word to A. J. P. Taylor (I know I quoted it before): 

"If the Germans had succeeded in exterminating their Slav neighbours, as the Anglo-Saxons in North America succeeded in exterminating the Indians, the effect would have been what it has been on the Americans: the Germans would have become advocates of brotherly love and international reconciliation.”

Perhaps in that case the Germans would have invented Woke and gone in for insane internationalism, instead of insane nationalism. In fact the Germans anyway are now doing the former instead of the latter.
