WESTERN CIVILIZATION SUFFERED SINCE 16TH C FROM A LIBERAL GENETIC MUTATION

This socio genetic mutation, let's give it a name, call it The Rousseau Mutation, or Rousseau Fallacy, or Rousseau Syndrome,  did not emerge, right away, in the 16th Century, full blown.

It took centuries for it to become fixed, as the geneticists say, in the liberal globalist white West population.

The mutation, as it emerged, did not prevent the West itself from self destructing in two world wars. In fact, the mutation itself enabled them!

In some senses, they were themselves  reflections of the populational processes of the mutation becoming fixed over opposition within the population.

The ideological expression of this genetic mutation in the general population is gathered under the heading The Whig Interpretation of History.
