This is basically another take on a phenomenon Dr. Charlton has noted many times on his blog.
The vast majority of people in the West remain seemingly oblivious to the increasing and accelerating destruction occurring all around them.
Whenever they do sense it, they are quick to downplay it, contextualize it, or rationalize it as anything but actual destruction.
You could chalk this up to some innate optimism or live-for-the-day mentality, but the extent of perceptible destruction in Western societies challenges such notions.
I posit that modern Westerners cannot see Sorath for the Ahrimans.
People are so wrapped up in the details and trivialities of what is unfolding that they cannot perceive, let alone grasp or accept, the situation as a whole.
The source of the details and trivialities is Ahriman — the demon of bureaucracy possessing virtually all Western governments, companies, institutions, organizations, and committees.
All aspects of this Ahrimanic bureaucracy now actively seek and implement programs of destruction; however, the masses tolerate the destruction precisely because it is being administered via impersonal bureaucratic programs.
Since impersonal bureaucratic programs have become the lifeblood of what people perceive Western civilization as, they cannot accept that such programs would actively seek to destroy on a grand, civilizational scale, even when confronted by stark “evidence” of such destruction.
As long as Ahriman is, Sorath cannot be.
Such appears to be the reigning rationalization among the masses.
