The West’s Moral Vacuum
Westerners have embraced the immorality and vapidity of their own bureaucracies. Our society needs a reboot if it is to survive.

We can watch our values erode under bureaucratic rule, or we can reclaim what matters; the future is ours to shape. Do we really need to witness yet again how absurd we’ve become? Apparently so, as we still haven’t met the challenge.
Have you read about the gang rape victim in Spain who opted for state-sponsored suicide in her grief? I’ll save you the trouble of reading the horrific details. The short version is that immigrants raped Noelia Castillo Ramos. She couldn’t deal with the psychological trauma, jumped off a five-story building, survived, and was no longer able to walk. She requested state-sanctioned euthanasia in 2021. Finally, after multiple legal appeals, she was granted her wish just last month, only to decide at the last moment not to go through with it. Wait, it gets worse:
A 25-year-old woman in Spain was euthanized Thursday after authorities allegedly denied her written request to postpone her death for six months so she could reconsider, the family's lawyer claimed. The request, submitted ahead of the scheduled assisted suicide, was allegedly not accepted by the administration, which determined that she had expressed “only doubts,” a rationale that carried no legal standing in the decision-making process, according to her father’s lawyer, Polonia Castellanos.Advertisement if(page_width_onload
