TAC: The Not-So-New Populism

Editor’s Note: It is refreshing to read a conservative who knows more about Yurop than how the French are cheese eating surrender monkeys and we should all eat Freedom Fries.

Great article.

I’ve been around since 2001 and have seen almost all of this:

“Modern right-wing populism set the world ablaze in 2016, with Brexit and Donald Trump’s election. But it didn’t start with Nigel Farage, or with Trump coming down the golden escalator. This political phenomenon has been building for two decades around the globe, and during this time the establishment governments have had many opportunities to squash it by addressing working-class voters’ concerns about government corruption, income inequality, free trade, nation-building, mass immigration, sovereignty, and terrorism.

The political class didn’t address these problems because that would have forced them tocompromise their orthodoxy that cultures and people were interchangeable and that people displaced by globalism could merely move away from industrial rust belts and learn new trades. As a result, governments became increasingly removed from the people they governed. ..”

If we could take the positions of Yang and Trump and create a compromise on immigration, political correctness, health care, Universal Basic Income, campaign finance reform, international peace, student loan forgiveness and a bunch of other issues, we could get somewhere.

Note: Populists are already the new center of the electorate. And yet, we have no representation in American politics. It really all boils down to the money.

  1. HW hypothesizes: “If we could take the positions of Yang and Trump and create a compromise on immigration, political correctness, health care, Universal Basic Income, campaign finance reform, international peace, student loan forgiveness and a bunch of other issues, we could get somewhere.”

    Once the Enemy has enough labor in the form of robots, the rest of us are dead. Only white people, what you call “populism”, stands in their way. For us the only play is state formation; for the Enemy the play is running out the clock until demographics makes state formation impossible.

    I give HW and OD credit for tackling the real issues, but criticize the dithering and diversion with Yang. By Spring 2020 he will be eliminated – will it then be a mad dash to Partition and state formation? Nah, probably not, it will be – in the movement, not necessarily at OD – back to the Trump Train as the “lesser of two evils”! Were Trump to lose in November it would be all over since we will have no credible threat of state formation on the table. It will be too late to start it under an Enemy Executive.

    We could probably advance a campaign for Partition sufficiently by 2024, but that assumes a necessary prelude where a dedicated minority who want a new nation, let’s call these people, oh, I don’t know… white nationalists… actually describe and advocate for a concrete white nation on the soil currently possessed by the United States – something oddly they have not yet ever done!

    This new nation is the only plausible vehicle for the policies on “immigration, political correctness, health care, Universal Basic Income, campaign finance reform, international peace, student loan forgiveness and a bunch of other issues”. America is in a death spiral and cannot ever again be governable due to demographic changes.

  2. Populism may not be an effective remedy against neoliberal globalism, HW. I think we are going to need Fascism or National Socialism for that.

  3. Brexit never happened (see: latest postponement)

    Drumpf turned out to be (((Kushner))), and

    Genghiz Yang is more of the same dog-and-pony.

    Whites will survive in one way only, and

    it won’t be the ballot box.
