At the same time, the stock market nearly doubled, bringing unprecedented economic prosperity for all, unlimited ultra-high-definition pornographic video become more accessible than ever, and the sitting President of the United States was unanimously celebrated for killing a man no one had ever heard of and subsequently decorating a very handsome pooch.

For all of these reasons and more, the tens are the best decade ever to be alive. No one has ever been better or more moral than us. We are the best and this is the best time.

Christianity: I think it’s hard to overemphasize how much of a change this is from Classical paganism. And PC cant aside, no, it’s not like other monotheistic religions either. Just for starters, the ideal Christian man is a totally different animal from the ideal pagan man.

Atheism: This one might be more contentious, but I think that capital-A Atheism — the systematic denial of the numinous and supernatural —is a unique feature of the West.

Utilitarianism: For better or worse, this is a Western invention.

The Abolition of Slavery: This isn’t a trivial matter, and it happened courtesy of the British Empire.

Outbreeding: Western cultural strictures against incest are an obvious anomaly in degree, if not in kind.

Universalism: Again, for better or worse, this is an innovation.

These things are all going to go down the toilet (Christianity might turn out not to need the West, we’ll see) along with the West. Starting with Universalism, which about nobody outside of the Western world can barely even comprehend except as a series of magical incantations to elicit submission from their betters, then onto slavery.
