Is the West Finally Waking Up?

A member of my Substack asked a good question recently ('Are we witnessing a vibe shift?')

and I thought I'd explore what the vibe shift in UK and Western politics is, as I believe

it's much bigger than simple politics... Substack 👉: https://richardthefourth.substack.com The Sacred Way (New Channel):    / @thesacredwayrt4   Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/richardthefo... Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/RichardTheFou... Twitter/X: https://x.com/RichardTheIIII

Was Enoch Right?

Keir Starmer has been likened to Enoch Powell after his speech on immigration. While Starmer is clearly doing this to win back votes from Reform, it does raise the spectre of Enoch Powell and offer us the opportunity to ask whether he was right. Not just about immigration, but about his conservative Christian worldview, too.

There’s a storm brewing in the west

 There’s a storm brewing in the west. Not the kind that darkens the sky or floods the streets no, this one is far more dangerous. It’s a sociological atom bomb and it’s sitting at the feet of millions of young men who have been told, time and again, that they are irrelevant. They are the discarded generation: fighting-age men with no future, no family, no home, and no nation to call their own.

Let me paint the picture. These men are drowning in debt: student loans, medical bills, rent that climbs higher while wages stagnate. They’ve been sold a lie that education is a ticket to prosperity, only to graduate into a job market that mocks their degrees and a culture that labels them “toxic” for existing. Marriage? Unattainable. Homeownership? A fantasy. Purpose? Laughed out of the room. The institutions that once anchored men like family, faith, community, national pride are in ruins, bulldozed by globalization, liberal ideology, and a nihilistic entertainment complex that tells them life is meaningless unless they conform to some performative identity.

When the system has weaponized every structure against you, the universities that gaslight you, the corporations that exploit you, the media that mocks you, the politicians who ignore you, why should you care? History is littered with revolutions sparked by men who had nothing left to lose. When a society abandons its sons, it creates a void. That void will be filled either by chaos or by leadership. Right now, a crown and a briefcase with the codes are lying in the mud. Not in a boardroom. Not in a Silicon Valley campus. In the mud. All someone has to do is pick them up.

The crown? It’s the authority to lead. To tell these men, “You are not garbage. You are the backbone of this country, and you will not be erased.” The briefcase? It’s the blueprint for rebuilding, a rejection of the status quo, a return to sovereignty, to faith, to the values that made this nation strong. But the elites would rather virtue signal than act. They’d rather import labor than empower their own. They’d rather lecture about “toxic masculinity” than admit they’ve engineered a system that crushes men under bureaucracy, debt, and despair. They’ve turned fatherhood into a liability, work into a grind, and patriotism into a dirty word.

The codes in the briefcase? They’re not algorithms. They’re the truth. The truth that a home, a family, and a nation are not privileges to be rationed but rights to be reclaimed. The truth that the systems failing these men aren’t broken; they’re working as designed to keep them docile, dependent, and disarmed. To the young men reading this: Your anger isn’t weakness. It’s power. But power without direction is destruction. Find your tribe. Build your community. Reject the lies.

So what happens next?

Either we let the bomb detonate and watch cities burn, trust vanish, and the West crumble into irrelevance or we seize the moment. We tell these men: You are not alone. You are not obsolete. You are the solution.

Here’s the thing about a crown in the mud: it doesn’t care who picks it up. It could be a demagogue who stokes rage for chaos. Or it could be a movement that channels that rage into renewal. Gab has always been the platform for the forgotten, the banned, the ones who refuse to kneel. Now, more than ever, we need to build alternatives economically, culturally, and spiritually.

The atom bomb metaphor isn’t hyperbole. Societies that alienate their young men don’t survive. Rome didn’t. The Ottomans didn’t. America won’t. These men aren’t just “angry” or “lost.” They’re disinherited. They’ve watched our leaders sell out and pathologize them, and their peers are medicated into compliance. They’ve been told their labor is replaceable, their biology irrelevant, their dreams obsolete. But here’s the dirty secret: You cannot cancel masculinity. You can suppress it. You can misdirect it. You can trap it in a cage of debt and despair. But you cannot kill it. When a force this primal is left to fester, it either explodes or it builds.

Our leaders are blind to this because they’ve long since abandoned the idea of nationhood. They jet between globalist conferences, sipping lattes in climate-controlled boardrooms, while the working class rots in rented apartments and the suburbs become war zones of opioid overdoses and suicide. They fear AI taking jobs, but the real automation is the systemic replacement of loyalty with transactional relationships.

The atom bomb’s energy? It’s the rage of men who’ve been told they’re the problem. The raw, unfiltered power of those who’ve nothing to lose because they’ve already lost everything. That energy can be channeled by someone who speaks their language, who understands that a man doesn’t want a participation trophy; he wants a purpose. He wants to fight for something worth fighting for.

This is where Gab comes in not as a platform, but as a movement. We’re not here to sell ads or harvest data. We’re here to arm the disinherited with truth. To connect the dots between the millions of men who’ve been isolated, atomized, and radicalized by a system that thrives on their fragmentation. To build a digital fortress where they can organize, strategize, and reclaim the narrative.

The crown is the courage to lead. To step into the void and say, “I will not apologize for being a man. I will not apologize for wanting a family. I will not apologize for defending my country.” Leadership isn’t about titles; it’s about presence. It’s the guy who starts a local group to train young men in self-defense or the father who teaches his son that honor is earned, not assigned.

Here’s the choice facing this country: either we let the atom bomb detonate in the hands of anarchists, warlords, or foreign agents or we rekindle the fire of American masculinity as a force for creation, not destruction. We stop blaming men for the collapse of institutions and start holding those institutions accountable. We stop shaming them for “toxicity” and start asking: What poisoned them?

The mud isn’t a metaphor. It’s literal. The crown isn’t polished gold; it’s rusted by neglect. The briefcase isn’t full of nuclear launch codes; it’s full of forgotten truths. Faith in something bigger than yourself. Duty to your neighbor. The audacity to believe that a nation can be reborn.

The world is about to change.

The only question is who’s going to pick up the crown and lead the charge?

Reclaiming Britain's History. Commemorating Magna Carta - Professor Lawrence Goldman

Professor Lawrence Goldman is an Emeritus Fellow of St. Peter's College, Oxford. He is a former director of both the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and the Institute of Historical Research. He is a director and editorial advisor for History Reclaimed. This lecture was delivered at the New Culture Forum's first #NCFLocals regional conference "A Celebration of England: Magna Carta and the Making of the English", which was held in Salisbury in March 2025.

The Lost Promise of the Internet

 When the Internet first emerged, it was framed as a tool for liberation. We believed it would democratize information, give a voice to the voiceless, and foster a global village of informed citizens. In many ways, it has. We carry pocket-sized supercomputers that grant us instant access to medical research, ancient literature, and the collective stories of humanity. Yet, instead of fostering deeper understanding, the Internet has become a battleground of chaos, a playground for algorithms that prioritize outrage over insight, and a mirror reflecting our most fragmented selves.

Today, the paradox is undeniable: We are more connected than ever, yet lonelier; more informed than ever, yet more confused; more entertained than ever, yet emptier than before. Studies show that rates of anxiety, depression, and social isolation have skyrocketed alongside smartphone adoption. Birth and marriage rates have plummeted. Political discourse has devolved into performative tribalism, where nuance is drowned out by the next viral hot take. Even our relationships with truth have frayed—how can we distinguish fact from fiction when every click rewards sensationalism?

Every year, my family and I visit Lancaster County, a place where time seems to bend backward. The Amish community there lives without smartphones, social media, or even electricity in many homes. Their one-room schoolhouses, horse-drawn buggies, and sprawling farmlands feel like a relic of another era. But what strikes me most is their quiet, unshakable contentment.

Here, children play in dirt yards, their laughter unmediated by screens. Families gather for meals without the hum of notifications. Neighbors work side by side to build barns, their hands calloused by labor, not keyboards. The Amish aren’t just avoiding technology; they’re rejecting the frenetic pace and fragmented attention it demands. They’ve chosen a life where time is not a commodity to be optimized but a rhythm to be lived.

This isn’t nostalgia—it’s a deliberate philosophy. The Amish evaluate every technology through the lens of community and faith. If a device threatens their values (like individualism over collective well-being), it’s rejected. Their birth rates, four times the national average, and their low rates of mental health crises suggest a parallel society thriving in ways the modern world struggles to replicate. They aren’t perfect, of course, but their approach invites a provocative question: What if less really is more?

The Internet promised liberation but delivered a new kind of bondage. We’ve outsourced our attention spans to push notifications, our memories to search engines, and our social skills to emojis. The result? A culture of superficiality where deep thought is rare and genuine connection rarer. Even our sense of purpose feels diluted—how often do we scroll through endless feeds instead of engaging with the physical world, our loved ones, or our own creativity?

The Amish, by contrast, live in a world where every action has weight. Their work is tangible: planting crops, crafting furniture, baking bread. Their relationships are rooted in proximity and shared responsibility. They don’t “network”—they nurture. Perhaps most importantly, they have no illusion that happiness lies in keeping up with the Joneses (or the Kardashians, as the case may be). Their simplicity isn’t a lack; it’s a focus.

The Amish aren’t anti-progress. They’re anti-frivolity. Their rejection of modern tech isn’t about ignorance but intentionality. They’ve sidestepped the dopamine-driven cycles of consumerism and digital validation that ensnare so many of us. Without screens to mediate their lives, they’re forced to confront the raw, messy, beautiful reality of existence, something we’ve largely forgotten how to do.

Consider their approach to education. Amish schools stop at eighth grade, emphasizing practical skills and community values over abstract theory. Yet their adult literacy rate is near 100%, and their children grow up with a clear sense of purpose. Meanwhile, in the digital world, we binge TED Talks and online courses while feeling increasingly unmoored. The irony is crushing.

I’m not suggesting we all abandon our smartphones and take up farming (though there’s something appealing about that). The Internet has undeniable benefits: it connects us to distant loved ones, provides lifelines for dissident voices, and drives innovation. But the Amish remind us that technology is a tool, not a master. Their lives are a testament to the power of boundaries, of choosing what serves the soul over what merely serves the ego.

Maybe the solution isn’t to quit the digital world entirely but to become more Amish in spirit. What if we turned off notifications, reclaimed our evenings for conversation instead of streaming, or prioritized local communities over global networks? What if we put the phones, tablets, and screens down for one whole day a week (the horror!) What if we asked ourselves, before every click or post, “Does this bring me closer to what matters?”

The Amish don’t just avoid technology; they interrogate it. Before adopting a new tool, they ask: Does this strengthen our community? Does it honor our values? Does it free us, or will it bind us to systems we can’t control? This is the question we’ve avoided with both the Internet and AI. In our rush to “innovate,” we’ve treated technology as an unqualified good, blind to its costs.

Perhaps the real answer isn’t to retreat into an analog cocoon, but to adopt a similar philosophy of discernment. What if we approached AI and other new technology not with blind faith but with the humility of asking, “What might this break?” What if we shared the Internet with the world not as a monolith, but as a platform adaptable to unique cultures rather than flattening them into a single, corporate-defined mold? The Amish remind us that progress isn’t a straight line, it’s a negotiation between what we can do and what we should do.

The Internet didn’t ruin humanity. It simply amplified what was already there: our brilliance, yes, but also our capacity for self-destruction. The Amish didn’t escape this truth—they embraced it, choosing simplicity as a bulwark against chaos. Perhaps their greatest lesson isn’t about rejecting the modern world but about remembering that we always have a choice. After all, the best tool is the one you control, not the one that controls you.

So, as I return to my inbox and the buzz of daily digital life, I carry their quiet wisdom with me. In a world drowning in noise, maybe the most radical act is to unplug, look someone in the eye, and ask, “What’s new?” without a screen between us.
