Have you read Douglas Murray's book The Strange Death of Europe? Much of what
you're talking about is discussed in this book. The stagnation of Western
society coupled with a general disinterest in national pride, old fashioned
values, etc...

When half of the population appear to support open borders, socialism and
censorship, and the other half support capitalism, property ownership, second
amendment rights and free-speech... things are going to have to come to a head.

I fear that the chaos we've seen in 2020 is set to continue throughout the
decade, as no compromise appears to be in sight.
