We’re witnessing a reaction to the nationalist uprising
Over the past four years, every trick in the book has been used to end the ‘nightmare’ of national conservatism and populism.
Over the past four years, every trick in the book has been used to end the ‘nightmare’ of national conservatism and populism.

America is not in the middle of a revolution — it is a reactionary putsch. About four years ago, the sort of people who had acquired position and influence as a result of globalization were turfed out of power for the first time in decades. They watched in horror as voters across the world chose Brexit, Donald Trump and other populist and conservative-nationalist options.

This deposition explains the storm of unrest battering American cities from coast to coast and making waves in Europe as well. The storm’s ferocity — the looting, the mobs, the mass lawlessness, the zealous iconoclasm, the deranged slogans like #DefundPolice — terrifies ordinary Americans. Many conservatives, especially, believe they are facing a revolution targeting the very foundations of American order.

But when national institutions bow (or kneel) to the street fighters’ demands, it should tell us that something else is going on. We aren’t dealing with a Maoist or Marxist revolt, even if some protagonists spout hard-leftish rhetoric. Rather, what’s playing out is a counter-revolution of the neoliberal class — academe, media, large corporations, ‘experts’, Big Tech — against the nationalist revolution launched in 2016. The supposed insurgents and the elites are marching in the streets together, taking the knee together.

They do not seek a radically new arrangement, but a return to the pre-Trump, pre-Brexit status quo ante which was working out very well for them. It was, of course, working out less well for the working class of all races, who bore the brunt of their preferred policy mix: open borders, free trade without limits, an aggressive cultural liberalism that corroded tradition and community, technocratic ‘global governance’ that neutered democracy and politics as such.

The very wise VDH has more faith in the intelligence of the average voter than I do. And I am referring to more than American voters. After all Americans provided Obama a second term to complete his fundamental transformation of America. The transformation the entire world is watching in horror as it plays out everyday now across America. Canadians in turn elected Soros/Obama understudy Trudeau for a 2nd term. Like Obama, with a majority. Oh, we didn’t? Perhaps somebody should tell Trudeau. Tell the opposition. Tell the media. Tell the uninterested 2/3rd of Canadians who didn’t vote him the majority he craved, but which he went ahead and just took anyway. Anyway, back to VDH. In 2020, the effort is not to ensure that a socialist not be appointed president who otherwise would not have been elected, but rather to ensure that she will be.

‘The current revolution is based on a series of lies, misrepresentations, and distortions, whose weight will soon sink it.’
