A little inspired by Conor Walton’s painting ‘Barbarians at the Gate’, Author Douglas Murray and recent riots in France, this image popped into my head of the downfall of the current empire of the West. It has the feel of the blind ignorant mob coming to tear down the existing hierarchy. Tearing things down can be good….like a a snake shedding its skin…. or bad like when the last animal of a species goes extinct.
