Several recent events appear unrelated. The Democrats are seeking to abolish the Electoral College, stack and impeach the Supreme Court, and increase energy subsidies. Prosecutors in Canada and Europe have sought to convict people for insisting upon the reality of biological sex online. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has shut down the riot police unit. Mercedes joined the growing number of energy-intensive companies halting investments in Germany. After weeks of riots and looting, France is criminally investigating its greatest living novelist for criticizing mass migration of Muslims and their higher rates of crime. A Dutch member of the European Parliament was censored for criticizing Islam. Australia’s censorship agency wants the ability to spy on anyone on the Internet and share their political opinions and health data with foreign intelligence agencies. Someone firebombed the car of Germany’s most prominent independent journalist. And a judge has ordered Facebook’s Meta to pay $25 billion in large part for not censoring enough.

In reality, they are all part of the Left’s controlled demolition of civilization. Around the world, the Left is attacking free speech, including through firebombings, death threats, and mass online censorship, without which neither democracy, commerce, or freedom in general are possible. It is attacking democratic protections, undermining judicial independence, and curtailing privacy rights, all of which people in the West have spent centuries fighting and dying for. And by making energy expensive and scarce by shutting down reliable power plants, it is attacking the physical basis of our industrial civilization, the source of our security and prosperity.
