Those who are uneducated about the past are condemned to repeat it, or so the aphorism similarly goes.
But what if most people would agree the past was better than the present? And what if the future already appears to be much worse than imagination allows?
Needless to say, the younger generation is comprised of pampered, self-centered, improperly education buffoons of the first degree who are about to experience without any forewarning a cruel cruel world.

And, as Tucker Carlson pointed out:
[T]hat’s exactly what you’re seeing happen as those on the fringe left line up to take shots at Queen Elizabeth II as being an agent of colonial empire.
When Buckingham Palace announced Thursday morning that the queen’s condition was being monitored by doctors at her summer home, Balmoral Castle in Scotland, that was a sign things were dire; Buckingham Palace almost never gives live updates on the monarch’s health and, just to drive home the gravity of her situation, her children and grandchildren rushed to her side.
On MSNBC, analyst Richard Stengel said those mourning her:
[W]ere yearning for that era of hereditary privilege.
On The View, always a disgusting source of disinformation representing the gutter of American culture, co-host Sunny Hostin said:
Elizabeth wore a crown with pillaged stones from India and Africa and the monarchy was built on the backs of black and brown people.
Carlson said on his Thursday show:
The week that Elizabeth was coronated, Edmund Hillary, a British subject from New Zealand, a beekeeper, became the first man in history to summit Mount Everest. The achievement seemed symbolic at the time—Britain on top of the world.
But in fact, Britain was already over, whether the British knew it or not. To this day, Britain claims to have won both of the 20th century’s world wars, but together, they destroyed that nation forever.
Britain’s self-confidence and ultimately its self-respect.
It’s hard to believe now, but Britain wasn’t always a regional banking center/refugee camp.
Carlson said:
When the empire existed, there were certainly flaws, but it was far more humane than any other ever.
It’s gone now, barely even remembered. Queen Elizabeth II was the last living link to a truly Great Britain.
If this doesn’t exactly agree with what you’ve been hearing about the British empire, perhaps you should consider where its constituent parts are now.
How, for example, did Africa fare after the British left?
Let’s see. Uganda got Idi Amin, who was a cannibal,
Carlson said, referring to the ghoulish dictator who confessed to having eaten human meat, according to All That’s Interesting.
Carlson continued:
Rhodesia became Zimbabwe—and then became the poorest country on the planet under the racist lunatic Robert Mugabe.
As of tonight, South Africa is still being run into the ground by an incompetent kleptocrat called Cyril Ramaphosa.
It’s not just that it’s hard to see any of that as an improvement because it’s not an improvement.
Now, of course, the entire continent of Africa has a new master: the Chinese government.
Carlson said:
China is the latest colonial power to dominate Africa. Its subjects will be pining for the British soon, assuming they are not already.
Indeed, China has been economically and militarily colonizing Africa rapidly under President Xi Jinping, which is happy to have the continent in hock.
The same day that Queen Elizabeth II died, Reuters reported:
African countries were demanding debt relief from China, particularly on loans given under its Belt and Road Initiative.
Zambia has already defaulted on its $17 billion in external debt; defaults only strengthen Chinese control over nations like Zambia, with infrastructure being taken over by Beijing if and when countries can’t pay back BRI loans.
In an ideal world, they would not be empires, no empires, only sovereign nations, but we don’t have that world and we never have had that world going back to at least the Assyrians 1,400 years before Christ.
In the real world, the one that we live in, strong countries dominate weak countries—and that trend shows no sign of changing.
The very least you can say about the English is that they took their colonial responsibilities seriously. They didn’t just take things, they added.
But acknowledging that the past order was better is acknowledging something good about the past order—and, as we know, that’s simply untenable for those who have set out to destroy all positive history about the West.
Ignorant fools like Uju Anya, Richard Stengel, Sunny Hostin, and many others unnamed just may live long enough to witness what the Chinese do to Africa and all Africans. But whether they express a polite apology to Queen Elizabeth II and the British Monarchy remains to be seen.
Carlson concluded:
Destroy the statue, erase the memory. That’s why they’re doing it.
Slander the ruler, discredit the entire period she lived in. And that’s exactly why they’re attacking Queen Elizabeth tonight—not because she was a bad person, she wasn’t a bad person, but because she lived during a better time.
They try to shutter our eyes [with their lies and discontent] so that we can’t see the past, then fill us with their own narratives of how it all went.
Occasionally, however, people instinctively know when the leftist suzerains of the Western cultural-educational complex are wrong.
When you see an outpouring of grief and nostalgia over the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, it’s not just because she provided an anchor of stability and security for Britain as it changed dramatically over the 70 years that she reigned.
She provided a link to the positive values of a Britain that existed seven decades ago.
That once great empire was not merely washed away by the tides of time upon its shores, its greatness and gentleness have been expunged by an ignorant, unappreciative generation which is content with, if not excited about, observing the crumbling of Western Civilization.
No, British Rule was not all rosy. However, they built and nurtured and left behind them viable cultures and civilizations.
But as for this current generation and the next that is being groomed by these self-centered fools: We can expect they will do much less to trim and prune and nurture the peoples and their lands of the third world.
Rest in peace, Queen Elizabeth. May memory of you and the memory of your times endure for future, more appreciative generations to rediscover and enjoy and from which to gain wisdom.
