Traditional western civilization contained a strong premise of individual sovereignty. Our current cultural movement is de facto destroying that premise. All the movements that are vying to replace the traditional western model are invitations to demagoguery and totalitarianism. Are western societies perfect? Far from it. But the "solutions" proposed are all far worse, crushing individual initiative at the expense of vaguely stated "group" rights and prerogatives. Every individual in the west will suffer if these ideologies are successful. There is nobody whose "group identity" will save them from this fate.

Traditional western civilization contained a strong premise of individual sovereignty.

This was entirely predicated on the implicit understanding of these countries as White and Christian.

Self hating white people and their handlers are the main problem with a lot these racial dividing movements, and most come from actual privilege and not the made up by the mainstream media's version that apparently all white people have. They use their wealth and connections to create a groupthink movement with a lot of clout and mindshare.
