...There are only two types of people in the entire West... To the first type belong hardened idiots who take loud slogans seriously and believe in their "civilizing mission" without even noticing the degree of materialistic barbarism to which they themselves have fallen. To the second type belong insidious scoundrels who take advantage of the general mental degeneration of the majority to indulge their filthy instincts of violence and self-interest.

— René Guénon
