By Regis Martin, Crisis Magazine - “I once thought it would be amusing,” writes Albert Jay Nock, “to attempt an essay on how to go about discovering that one is living in a dark age.” His answer, which is not at all amusing, is simply to watch all the lights go out and see if anyone noticed... And, of course, no one did. At least not among the so-called educated elites, the thought police swarming about in our midst, who are chiefly responsible for the gathering darkness, even as they try and keep the rest of us from seeing it. Thus do they keep us spinning about like tops along the bright surface of a world that, for all its glitter, is totally unreal.
