TERRORISM
HAVE TRANSLATED
INTO THE ENDLESS
'global war on terror',
and no less forceful - or
quixotic - policies aimed at encouraging 'moderate'
Muslims to 'prevent' 'extremist ideology', and 'reform' Islam.
It has become progressively clearer that political elites in the West,
unable to junk an addiction to drawing lines in the sand, regime change
and re-engineering native moeurs, don't seem to know what they are doing and what they are bringing about. They have counterbalanced their loss of nerve before the political challenge of terrorism with overreaction, launching military campaigns,
often without bothering to secure the consent of a frightened people, and while supporting despotic leaders they talk endlessly
of their superior 'values' - a rhetoric that has now blended into a white-supremacist hatred, lucratively exploited by 'DJ' TRUMP,
of immigrants, refugees & Muslims (and, often, those who just 'look' Muslim)! Meanwhile, selfie-seeking young murderers everywhere confound the leaden stalkers of 'extremist ideology', retaliating to bombs from the air with choreographed slaughter on the ground ......
Hòw dìd wé gèt tràpped ìn thìs danse macabre? Many readers of Pankaj Mishra's Age of Anger wìll remember the hopeful period that fol-lowed the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989! With the collapse of Soviet Communism, the universal triumph of liberal capitalism and demo-cracy seemed assured? Free markets & human rights appeared to BE THE RIGHT FORMULA for the billions trying to overcome
degrading poverty & political oppression; the words 'globalization' & 'INTERNET' inspired, in that age of innocence,
móre hópe than anxiety as they entered common speech! NU EN HIER, BIJNA 30 JAAR LATER, LIJKEN WE
NÒG VÈRDER VERWÍJDERD VAN HOOPVOLLE VREDE: de slinksrechtse populisten
(Janmaten, Pimmen, Wilders, Baudets, Brexits & Nexits, Poetins,
