This is the second of Paul Collits’s despairing essays on the nature of the modern world. The first, on the ‘memory holing’ of history, can be read here.

The writer is in Australia. A RECENT absence from Australia – I thought I would stop by Old Europe and savour its remaining charms – provided a welcome break from the tedium of creeping, progressive totalitarianism in our backyard. Two of my more memorable experiences were a sobering visit to Dachau and sipping a ‘flat white’ at the Scruton café in Budapest. Each could only remind one of the inestimable importance of freedom in our era of its secular decline.
