A dzsihádisták készek meghalni azért, amiben hisznek – a nyugati ember meg azt is hiába keresi, hogy miért éljen. Az iszlamista terror hódítás – az incel terror öngyilkosság. A vallási fanatizmus pusztító – a fogyasztói frusztráció önpusztító.

The state of a civilisation is aptly signalled by its terrorists and mass murderers, and most of all by what they kill in the name of. Fanatical murderers in the spirit of religious fundamentalism slaughtered millions in the Middle Ages, and in response, the Enlightenment and the triple slogan of "liberty, equality, fraternity" very quickly produced mass murderous ideologies and regimes of terror, such as Jacobin France, National Socialist Germany and Communist Russia, among others. The immeasurable mercy of Jesus Christ, the cold rationalism of Denis Diderot and the dark gospel of Adolf Hitler can all serve as references for the insane to murder, for politicians to organise murderous regimes and for the masses to get excited about a war that reconquers Jerusalem, that expands living space or that exports democracy and human rights to Iraq and Afghanistan.
But the wisdom of "all women are bizch"" was not enough in the past for a lunatic to kill people on political grounds. Until now, such perpetrators, from Jack the Ripper to Ted Bundy to Andras Pandy, have been public criminals, not terrorists. There was never much difference between the profiles of the personnel who brutalised concentration camps and the perpetrators of serial killings, yet it was clear that the former needed some reassurance and confirmation from those around them that what they were doing was right, not merely pleasurable. But in a cultural space disempowered by postmodern identity politics, terrorists are unhindered by the false veneer of a messianic mission of community betterment, no longer bothered with questions of religious theory and political philosophy, and thus the bizarre hate group of our time is born: the incel movement - an internet subculture of men who are unsuccessful with women, who cannot get sex and who, as a result, see themselves as victims of the female gender, and more narrowly, of feminism. These angry men might have been radicalised in the mid-twentieth century and become national socialists, communists, or perhaps neo-conservative war hawks, but Western men were not narcissistic enough to turn their own problems into a world conundrum by such primitive equivalence. Thanks to commercial television, organised tabloids and social media!
The massacre in the city of Plymouth was not the first and hardly the last incel attack. The Weimarised West is once again exploiting violence, but there is no intellectual power behind it - the explanations for the murders are as petty as they are uninteresting and miserable. Civilisation has exhausted and used up its ideas: only smartphones can evolve - ideas are being swallowed up by neo-primitivism, the human spirit is being held hostage by identity politics, intellect is being nipped in the bud by the frenzy of trolls.
The world of ideas is stuck - only Islamic fundamentalism is keeping humanity in history: in Afghanistan, frustrated, misogynistic Western incel figures are bringing the United States of America to its knees. The homeland of the brave is fleeing the region without caring how many of its former allies it throws to the Taliban. Donald Trump has begun the withdrawal, Joe Biden has finished it - now it's the Islamists' turn to take revenge: one by one, they are executing soldiers, interpreters, women and homosexuals who believed in the West and believed in the West. The proclamation of a Sunni caliphate is imminent, while Western atheists bask in the intoxication of intellectual superiority because reason has finally conquered superstition, sneer condescendingly at the unscientific stupidity of idealists, and dream of terraforming Mars, which orbits without an atmosphere.
After the loss of Afghanistan, nothing else happens as it always has: the Republicans, sniffing for domestic political gain, call on Joe Biden to resign, as if they had not embarked on the Afghan adventure, as if Donald Trump had not agreed with the Taliban to withdraw, as if there were no United States, only a Republican Party and a Democratic Party, only a culture war and the domination of the moment, as if this failure were not the military, political and moral bankruptcy of the entire West. Trolling and laughing - that's all the access they have to the world.
Civilisation no longer has a master. The twilight of the West, predicted by Oswald Spengler, is slowly coming to pass: moral and spiritual nihilism is being followed by demographic, social and geographical defences. It is in vain that Western man possesses the largest number of the most modern weapons, that his economy is the most advanced, and that he is a fortune-hunter, if he can no longer believe in anything outside his consumer basket, and seeks to minimize casualties - and it is no use the poorly armed and ragtag squads of Islamist fighters, no use the economic power behind them, no use the beggary poverty, if they will die for their faith and care nothing for the scale of their sacrifices. The domination of the world is not in the material but in the spiritual - and the next century will be a bitter experience of this.
