"Mad as a Hatter, Perhaps, But Not Stupid"

"Whilst skimming through Breivik’s manifesto the following stood out..."

[---]

"The potential list of “traitors” according to the criteria set down in Breivik’s manifesto must run into the hundreds of thousands, if not millions across Europe, so it’s a target-rich environment out there.

Oddly enough this tactic of “open-sourcing” the conflict mirrors the development of Al-Quaeda which rather than a hierarchical organizations is closer to a “brand” that can be adopted by anyone who shares its aims and acts towards similar goals.

Mad as a hatter perhaps, but not stupid or insane."

I can't help thinking this is the opening volley - well not really the opening volley, but the beginning of the latest battle - of a very old war.

There are legions of Europeans who are profoundly alienated from their ruling class and are sick of having their legitimate concerns dismissed with a wave of the hand while being subjected to a lecture of politically correct nonsense. The left has just created a new hero for the disaffected right, whom they (the left) have, heretofore, successfully shut out - almost.

Lines have been drawn.

I wonder how Europe's former colonies will respond?
