The Democratic Party in the US, all "respectable" European politicians, and the Fifth Column that is our Fourth Estate have no clue as to how much the common man despises them. Trump and his reforms represent a peaceful solution out of the mess they created. Yet they loathe him and work to thwart his agenda, unaware that they just might be punching their own ticket on a tumbril ride to an unpleasant end, should they succeed in derailing Trump's agenda.
So absolutely convinced of their own superiority, should their loyal toadies in the judiciary fail to halt Trump, I believe that they would unleash violence on Trump and his supporters. Their hyperbole prodded a couple of misfits to squeeze off a few rounds at the Orange Man's noggin last summer, don't forget.

I think this is true. The politicians and the media are completely lost. As are the university educated technocrat layer running things. They are in a bubble, and I suspect that will ultimately be their downfall.
I work with these people. They still view multiculturalism as a roaring success, along with Covid measures and Net Zero. Literally no understanding of reality. Mass immigration to them means a more interesting array of ethnic cuisine to choose from. Covid was an outstanding public health success etc.
It is difficult to fathom this level of disconnect.
I am at a loss to explain how completely out of touch from reality our elites have become. They really do believe that their credentials and "expertise" make them superior beings to the average person.
I fear that they won't go gently into the good night.
I am not so sure they represent a threat. I think much of their superiority is ignorance. They never meet people disagreeing with them. So the Trump supporters and the climate deniers and all the rest can be safely grouped into a mental box as Nazis or fascists.
For as long as it remains at arms length that works. But reality is now intruding and they can't hide from that. So they may make life awkward, but they cannot stop the wholesale destruction their own philosophy has wrought. Mass immigration alone is not survivable, for example.
I hope you're right, but our elites' way of life, and entire identies are wrapped up in politics. I'm not so sure that they'll react peacefully when they're pushed off the stage.
Plus, Europe has imported millions of violent third worlders who might not want to board that plane back to the hellhole from whence they hailed. And remigration needs to occur for Europe to become Europe again.
You missed a bit, Frank... 🤣🤣🤣 WE few can SEE current outcomes & current Trends... I can't gaslight myself! Yet the Boobeoise, the Blob, sits placidly on the couch, taking their meds & circuses. Their eyes drink in the New Truth (TM) on the blue screen. Their friends get turbo cancers & heart attacks, their children are sickly. Yet everything is hunky dory. Mattias Desmet named it Mass Formation Psychosis. AND Fiat Currency, the entire Bretton Woods agreement, is going down the toilet. "...there's a light/at the end of the tunnel/but it's just a freight train/coming your way..." (Soundgarden). 🪙💰 vs💵💶💸
I guess I am a bit dim as I fail to see how Trump is reining in Israel over the never-ending 'security' bollocks the world swallows that allows them to continually bomb and attack their neighbours.
PS: when did the US congress vote for war with Yemen?
Respectfully, here's what doesn't make sense about your thesis. It doesn't explain WHY those directing the culture are doing what they're doing. If you're correct about your suspects, it seems to boil down to the old boogeyman of money and greed greed greed. But quite frankly, that's blitheringly banal and totally tiresome.
If that's the primary explanation for the self-destruction of western civilization, then it's sadly lacking in a few components:
1. Why should an oligarchic class already richer than God, be primarily motivated to want more money?
2. What causes them to choose the particular set of issues in their agenda (green energy, CO2 abatement, depopulation, transgenderism, multiculturalism, etc etc.), instead of others?
3. How in the world can the implementation of (2) ever produce the desired outcomes for (1)? The answer is that quite obviously, it can't!
IOW, this explanation of the primary actors and their motivations makes little sense. Motives are generally an expression of who a person is and what they do in life. Here we're talking about people who've supposedly been around the block once or twice. Alternatively, if their motive is not money, then nothing else in their makeup would logically explain what goal they're seeking. Of course the next thing that comes to mind is POWER! For various reasons, that also makes little sense. The urge to money and power, greed and control are age old tropes that have been with mankind forever. You might as well enjoy the show, because you're never going to get rid of it.
However, I believe that such conclusions mistake surface effects for underlying causes. Thoughtful questioning would indicate that, in our current age, there's someone else, some other perpetrator. They are malevolent, motivated by self-loathing, with an ideology that psychologically transfers that hate as a coping mechanism, as well as sanctifying the process via a kind of moral narcissism. But that's for another venue (two can play at that game). Most importantly, in the final analysis, If you can't determine who the real enemy is, then you're never going to defeat him. (Thank you for your indulgence.. this will be my last comment.)
I have written a lot about this and I really can’t go into it here. I don’t think it is all about money and power, as I think there is a fair bit of the diabolical going on. That is not a new idea, as we saw with criticism of the French Revolution for example.
I respectfully disagree. I see no cause for optimism, which is premature at best. Also, I believe that the nature of our civilization's enemy is far more complex and diabolical than just liberal values promulgated by banking oligarchs in cahoots with marketing maniacs. That's giving them undue influence, while essentially ignoring the real motivations and the real cadres of the enemy.
To win this war, you must identify the core enemy, which is the woke left, aided and abetted by a globalist oligarchy. Wokism is a noxious mixture of postmodernism, progressivism, gnosticism, and narcissism. It is unique in history, although its ideological roots come straight from the Enlightenment. You must thoroughly understand wokust motivations, starting with the following... The crux of the woke left's value system is the belief that they've been endowed with supreme moral authority over everyone else. For us to be viable opposition, we must completely disabuse them of that notion. That's the essential first step. If you can't or won't understand this, then prepare yourselves to be assimilated.
To counteract their pseudo-morality, I do not mean spouting Bible verses at them. That will have no effect other than to be derided and ignored, along with counteracting Bible quotes being thrown back at you. Instead, at least some of us have to be moral scholars on the order of Thomas Aquinas. Otherwise, we won't be able to defeat them by fomenting self-doubt within their evil little psyches. Without such internal weakness, the enemy will continue to attack. Wokusts will double-down on their tried and true tactics, including physical force directed at us, their designated enemies. At this point Trump is just an unexpected speedbump for the woke. Unless organized opposition in addition to Trump ramps up its intellectual game, the woke left will ultimately prevail.
Hello there Eric. I do agree with you in parts, and have gone on at lamentable length about the counterfeit culture, its intentional replacement of our civilisation and its values, and the how and what of all that. I am writing a book about it at present, and publish a chapter every Monday.
If you have a look at the archive I have done a lot about your concerns, which are real and justified, and I do not aver that the problem is political in nature alone. I do hold that problems downstream of policy can be corrected by policy - and I believe the evidence is there to say this process has begun. There will be no civil war. The stark choice between ruin and restoration is before us all now, and only the corrupt former elite and the differently saned will continue to rally round the banner of Satan.
Thank you for your reply. I wonder about calling this a 'counterfeit culture'. That seems to deprecate it unnecessarily. Instead, I think we've been plunged into a war of different moralities, something quite serious to say the least. This war is existential. It is at its core a religious war. The woke left are zealots engaged in a moral jihad against reality, which happens to include the rest of us. Thus political solutions do not address the core causes of the conflict.
Unfortunately, I also believe that the masses of people are oblivious to most of this, except on some superficial level. They've been marinated in leftist ideals their entire lives, which makes them susceptible to being easily swayed by wokust memes and narratives. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was on the right track, although even he didn't see the depth of the problem. The masses are the momentum that keeps society hurtling towards the abyss. Subjective feelings trump the ordered thinking necessary to conceive of truly moral alternatives, because mindless virtue signaling and sanctimony just feel so damned good. Objective truth has been trampled on the march through the institutions, and is MIA. Sorry, but I just don't have much hope that there's some optimistic future for succeeding generations.

It was always an argument with reality and it has been lost. There will be tears, but it is still bedtime for "liberal democracy".
Good night, and good riddance to it.

Very, very interesting times.
I agree. But reality still exists and their tricks are not working like they once did. I sense the elites becoming vulnerable.
Indeed, they will rage, rage against the dawning of the light.
Truly great stuff about The West and, especially, Canada, but I’m definitely going to have dig-in to the Netanyahu speculations.
Jolly good Brett! That spade will be seeing some action I’ll warrant! Happy digging!

The BOOBEOISIE? How did I not come up with this! What a brilliant word. Thank you for that AMD.
Come to think of it that is a mint username too.
The Booboisie is being exposed as nothing but a bunch of tits.
