Barbarians At The Gates Of The West

 Cato the Elder, a Roman statesman, famously warned that "Carthage must be destroyed" due to the threat it posed to Rome. This sentiment resurfaces today as France faces significant turmoil and destruction.

Cato witnessed the dangers of unchecked enemies during the Second Punic War, emphasizing the need to eliminate threats to Rome.

France is currently experiencing chaos, with violent rioting that has led to the destruction of important symbols, such as Limoges’ city hall.

These riots are led by a coalition of radical leftists and Islamists, aiming to exploit societal fractures and undermine the state.

The situation in France echoes past unrest in the U.S., where riots following George Floyd's death resulted in significant destruction, revealing an underlying disdain for Western civilization.

The West has tolerated those hostile to its identity for too long, risking its survival.

The author argues that just as Cato advocated for Rome, modern societies must recognize and confront their own enemies to survive.

To protect Western civilization, it is crucial to decisively confront and dismantle the threats posed by radical groups and to prevent their rise to power. As Cato said, "The Left must be destroyed" for the survival of the West.
