I missed it, somehow, when it happened back in April, but I’ve heard it now (h/t to Radio Derb): the Dutch political activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek’s rousing speech at CPAC’s convention in Budapest.
Her message to the ancient peoples of the West?
“Our elites have declared a war on us, and now it is time for us to put on the full armor of God, fight back, and win.”

PS: by 2009, when I still leant toward atheism (I no longer do, as described in the series of linked posts beginning here) it had already become clear to me that secularism is maladaptive, and a source of weakness. Fifteen years later, its corrosive effect has progressed to the point that Europe is now on the verge of complete cultural and demographic collapse. So to those of you who agree with Ms. Vlaardingerbroek’s message, but flinch at her call to “put on the armor of God”, maybe it’s time to “update your priors”. You won’t get many more chances.
