Well, he's right. Sort of.
News:
London: Britain’s Prince Charles said the numbers of vulnerable young Muslims being radicalised by “crazy stuff” on the internet was “frightening”, in an interview with BBC.
Obvious typo.
Corrected version:
London: Britain’s Prince Crazy Stuff said the numbers of vulnerable young Muslims being radicalised by Crazy Stuff on the internet was “frightening”, in an interview with BBC.
Prince Crazy Stuff is correct in a backhanded way. Serious radicals are highly rational men who observe the "crazy stuff" generated by a society that has gone stark raving mad. Or in the case of US/UK/EU, many light years beyond bonkers. So far beyond bonkers that the indescribability of the condition is itself indescribable.
Radicals have formed a correct diagnosis, but their prescription is usually wrong. The aftermath of a revolution** is nearly always worse than the pre-revolution condition. EG US 1776, France 1792, Russia 1917.
It's better to stand back and watch the crazy system collapse. Maybe try to speed it up, but not by any drastic revolutionary measures. Rational systems often grow in the wasteland of a collapsed Crazy Stuff empire. EG Putin.
= = = = =
**Footnote: Need to distinguish here between ideological revolutions and military coups. In many South American and African countries the aftermath of a military coup is distinctly better than the previous situation. In those countries the coup is simply the regular method of choosing a new government. Beats democracy all to hell.
