Zitat

Teddy bears, tears, candles, cartoons, murals, mosaics, flowers, flags, projections, hashtags, balloons, wreaths, lights, vigils, scarves, and more. These are the best solutions the Western world seems to come up with every few months when we are slammed by another Islamist terrorist attack. We are our own sickness.

Since the world learned of the dozens dead, hundreds injured, and hundreds of thousands affected by Monday’s attack on the NATO and European Union capital, we have seen an outpouring of what is commonly known as “solidarity”.

This word – most commonly associated with hard-left politics, trades union activism, socialism, and poseur indie rock bands – has come to mean very little in reality. In effect, “standing in solidarity” with someone now means that you have observed the situation, changed your Facebook profile picture accordingly, and patted yourself on the back.

And if like dead bodies Facebook profile pictures lost heat, it would be accurate to say that the Tricolores that adorned the social media profiles of many had hardly become cold before we were all changing the colours of the bands on the flags. From blue to black. From white to yellow. The blood red remains.

"Virtue signaling" in action.

I had pretty much given up on Breitbart, but this one is important and well written.

I read this last night and was mesmerized. This has been going on for far too many years. I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who felt this way.

There are not highway accidents where it would be appropriate to leave a flower and a candle.

I'm actually getting to the point where I am repulsed by these scenes, knowing the mayhem and destruction that took place hours before.

So much on which to comment in this article. Highly recommended for reading.
