>In lieu of religion, this advantage alone makes modern liberalism superior to whatever Schmitt has to offer—the desire to pull back the curtain, expose the gaping chasm in the heart of Western society, and then crash the ship with no survivors.

I see no downsides to this.

The only way out is through. I have determined for my part that liberalism, democracy, and the architecture of rights and liberties is uniquely harmful to things I cherish. In particular, it is uniquely harmful to my Catholic faith. The Church cannot survive in liberalism. It withers, fades, and falls apart, in the atmosphere of liberal democracy. Even the attempted reconciliation of Vatican 2 has proved to be a waste of time. Catholicism and liberalism cannot get along. They do not mix.

So, for that reason, I want liberalism to be destroyed, and if Schmitt can get the job done, more power to him.

As for what comes next: who the fuck cares? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Kill the beast first, then we'll decide what comes next. It's no good talking about what we'll do when the dragon is slain while the dragon is still flying around breathing fire. First things first. Slay the dragon. Kill the beast. Destroy liberalism, using Schmitt and others. THEN we can talk about what the future looks like. The only way out is through. The only way to the future is to murder the present.
