Existential Threat to Western Civilization

The discussion centers on the perceived existential threat facing Western civilization, particularly the UK and the United States. This threat is attributed to liberalism taking precedence over democratic governance, leading to a disconnect between elected officials and their constituents. The emphasis on individual rights has overshadowed the collective interest and safety, resulting in policies that prioritize global perspectives over national well-being. A significant concern is how policies reflecting liberal values have allowed institutions and international agreements to hold more power than democratic governance, contributing to the erosion of national identity.
