When you look at divisions today, divisions everywhere, divided political parties, divided society, divided countries, divided world, and the network of intrigues, you see The Godfather. When big things are at stake, life is cheap.
Looking at the what is happening everywhere, it is easy that Jo Cox was not the first and will not be the last. I don't see how the big political conflicts of today can come to a peaceful end and peace is a very elusive target.
Certainties are over. Trust is gone. If one of the few means any civilised society has to protect itself is censorship, we are doomed. The more censorship is promoted rest assured that violence will follow. If political persecution, harassment, intimidation, discrimination, demonising, distortion, defamation, libel and incarceration for political ends become the norm, Democracy is dead. Political Correctness generates a Totalitarian Society and no one is safe. When the very same organisations that are supposed to stand for Freedom become promoters of Intolerance, we are doomed.
I often remember the famous expression "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword" and say that if Political Correctness builds dams and takes away The Pen that allows us to express our thoughts peacefully, The Sword will rule.
Very much like the old League of Nations, the Organisation of the United Nations is falling apart and treaties are being torn to pieces. Tearing apart a Treaty is merely the recognition that the circumstances that led to signing such Treaty are no more. The World is changing and many are preparing themselves for war and the coming war - unlike previous wars that were called World Wars - will be a real World War and there will no place to hide. There will be war between countries and there will be war within countries caused by conflicting values and people who will take no prisoners. Everything that we cherish will be lost because in the coming wars there will be no winners. There will be only losers.
Looking at one country in particular - Germany -, for some time I have thought that Angela Merkel because of her own wrongdoing might the last democratic Chancellor of Germany. She misused Democracy and created a nightmare not just for Germany but for many other countries that seeing themselves under threat are building barriers to protect themselves. With her policies, Angela Merkel promoted a Siege Mentality justified by the fact the European Continent is being invaded and destroyed by imported forces of Intolerance, invasion that has been promoted by Political Correctness, Corruption, Incompetence and Ideological Madness.
