That's how it would be described. A better description would be "a lot a Muslims are about to Jews 2.0"

So far I think this century is about 1) reaping the consequences of interventionist foreign policy (active terrorist cells, refugee crises, even a degree of political instability at home) and 2) the degradation of personal liberties in the West thanks to no longer having to prove ourselves superior to the Soviet Union (TSA, mass surveillance, internet censorship, decline of wages, wiping out of middle class, etc.).

"Brave New World" in reality.

Less than two decades in 21st century and we already got legalization of drug abused, fag marriage, rampant lgbt propaganda and promiscuity, demoralize family institutes and religions, and genome editing. What do you think what's going to happen? I presume Huxley will be very "happy" to see the fictions in his novel become real...

>And though one be right in saying of a sluggard that he is "killing time" yet in respect of an age that rests its salvation on public opinion,—that is, on private laziness,—one must be quite determined that such a time shall be "killed," once and for all: I mean that it shall be blotted from life's true History of Liberty. Later generations will be greatly disgusted, when they come to treat the movements of a period in which no living men ruled, but shadow-men on the screen of public opinion; and to some far posterity our age may well be the darkest chapter of history, the most unknown because the least human. I have walked through the new streets of our cities, and thought how of all the dreadful houses that these gentlemen with their public opinion have built for themselves, not a stone will remain in a hundred years, and that the opinions of these busy masons may well have fallen with them. But how full of hope should they all be who feel that they are no citizens of this age! If they were, they would have to help on the work of "killing their time," and of perishing with it,—when they wish rather to quicken the time to life, and in that life themselves to live.
