The restriction of evil to the material plane and the near complete ignorance of spiritual evil is what makes the modern West the most spiritually sinful civilisation known to history.

@jorgen - Not really so.

For instance; the birdemic lockdowns and social distancing were anti-sex; and the sexual atmosphere now is (for most people) considerably less 'liberated' (and subject to more, and more severe sanctions) than at various other times/ places in the past 60 years.

The thing to recognize about leftism - as the primary vehicle of purposive evil - is that it is not 'for' any particular thing. It will take up and discard positive goals - like socialism, equality, sexual liberation, feminism, environmentalism, healthism, pacifism etc; without worry about priorities or contradictions.

Because evil (and hence leftism) is oppositional in nature. Oppositional to God, creation and the Good. Evil will evolve in whatever direction is currently (or strategically) expedient to oppose Good.

"Thus the evils of The West are invisible to The Western populace, hence increasing without limit because they are regarded as good;"

This underscores the frightening reality of today's world. Any sin can be forgiven as long as one seeks repentance. However, if one regards evil as truly being good, repentance is nearly impossible. This is what Jesus meant by stating that all sins against the Son can be forgiven but not sins against the Spirit. If anyone's moral compass is so skewed that they sincerely in their heart of hearts believe that child mutilation is good, they will reject heaven regardless of the circumstances. We must pray for a softening of hearts towards creation.

The transition from Ahrimanic to Sorathic becomes more palpable by the day. Despite everything we now know, I'm still shocked at how chaotically inevitable our collapse has become. Whether thermonuclear war or something even worse, our species is in the midst of an avalanche -- unpredictable and unstoppable.
