Could establishment fearmongering about ethno-fascism usher in technofascism?

Honestly, I’m done with bombastic clowns in the mould of Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and Geert Wilders. They play to the patriotic family values of the disenfranchised Western working classes who feel let down by their faux-progressive mainstream politicians, obsessed with the WEF’s lofty sustainable development goals and overseeing cultural convergence on a global scale. The mask is off. In country after country, vast swathes of the electorate have finally cottoned onto the deceptive nature of counterproductive woke ideology that far from emancipating the underclasses delegates all power to a technocratic master race.

However, after seeing public spending splurges on lockdowns, war games, gender bending, social engineering and hair-brained net-zero initiatives, many will now switch their allegiance to another bunch of neocon-artists. But to whom do the new Thatcherite kids on the block calling themselves Reform owe their allegiance? They may parrot all the right soundbites about controlling borders and making the country great again, but they’re in bed with many of the same tech billionaires and lobby groups.

Don’t get me wrong. I’ve not suddenly swung back to the infantile left of my teenage years dreaming of a worldwide revolution against greedy capitalists, tearing down all borders and replacing families with communes. That’s what Aaron Bastani might call Fully Automated Luxury Communism. The book basically puts a neo-Marxian spin on Klaus Schwab’s vision of a Great Reset to accommodate the fourth industrial revolution.

The old left-right paradigm makes little sense when many establishment figures pose on the radical left and decry the working classes for being reactionary malcontents. But some factions within the global elites can pose on the faux-nationalist right too. The Donald’s focus has shifted from MAGA to MIGA (Make Israel Gruesome Again), while his associates plan new wars over control of Venezuelan and Nigerian oil reserves.

My main bone of contention has always been with the extreme concentration of power that undermines the self-determination of communities and families. With New Labour, we get collusion with BlackRock, Bill Gates and Larry Ellison for the construction of huge new AI data centres, new mRNA jab manufacturing plants and more clinical trials of dodgy therapeutics. With Reform we will probably see sweet deals with Elon Musk, the cultural left’s new bête noire.

In September we saw probably the largest politically incorrect demonstration this decade as a sea of flags from all four corners of the United Kingdom, but ominously interspersed with Israeli Stars of David. While the mainstream media estimated only 150,000, aerial footage suggested a much larger number although the organisers’ claim of 3 million may be wide of the mark. It competes with the November 2023 Armistice Day march against the bombing of Gaza where the police estimated an attendance of around 300,000 and the organisers around 800,000.

More interesting was the reaction from left-branded TV talking heads concerned about foreign tech moguls like Elon Musk exerting undue influence on British politics, while turning a blind eye to the banksters and oligarchs closely aligned with the World Economic Forum and its plans to reimagine humanity in the fourth industrial revolution.

Hardly a day passes without an outburst of self-righteous indignation about the latest gaffe by a Reform or Tory MP, sometimes for merely stating the obvious about Britain’s rapidly changing demographics. The latest example saw a social media pile-on against Reform’s goody-two-shoes MP, Sarah Pochin, who claimed to be sick and tired of seeing so many black and brown actors in TV commercials. The context was the over-representation of darker-skinned people in British TV ads, as corroborated by a recent Channel 4 survey. Despite record levels of immigration in recent years, over 80% in the UK are still white, but this proportion is much lower in school-age children, often cited as around two thirds but declining. Numerous studies have also identified white working-class school leavers as the most disadvantaged group in terms of academic performance and earnings in early adulthood. This leads to the widespread perception that the ruling elites now discriminate against the direct descendants of the indigenous peoples of the British Isles in favour of newcomers, pitting rival ethnic communities against each other.

Local elections and opinion polls continue to show stronger support for Reform among the settled working classes with the LibDems and Greens doing best in the leafy suburbs, gentrified inner city neighbourhoods and market towns favoured by the affluent professional classes, while Labour struggles to hold onto its new strongholds in areas with large BAME communities and falls back on its army of public service professionals and high-profile opinion leaders favoured by the establishment media.

Politics has descended into spectacle with emotive rhetoric that serves only to name and shame rivals rather than speak truth to power and hold the decision-makers to account. A new brand of radical chic parliamentarians such as Zarah Sultana may boldly accuse the government of complicity in Israel’s genocidal war crimes in Gaza, sitting only a few yards away from Rupert Lowe MP who has repeatedly complained about anti-white racism, but it’s all theatre as neither will get anywhere near levers of power. Genocide is a highly emotive term. While Israel may have killed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians over the years, many millions more survive in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan and a wider global diaspora, in part thanks to a high fertility rate. By contrast, the ethnic displacement of English natives from many urban areas is just as significant statistically but has happened peacefully as many inner-city dwellers moved to the suburbs in an endogenous process that later morphed into white flight. Differential fertility rates also have played a key role in Britain’s changing demographics. Yet in different ways Ms Sultana and Mr Lowe may have more in common than meets the eye. For a start, they both oppose Digital ID as favoured by the Blairite centre.

Although Zarah has succumbed to chameleonic compliance in her performative advocacy of faux-progressive causes such as transgender rights, deep down she cares mainly about her Muslim community and the Palestinian cause. Likewise, Rupert is probably just an old-school Tory concerned about Great Britain’s rapid moral and cultural decline, trying to defend his people and finding himself increasingly at odds with the new globalist establishment. That makes both Rupert and Zarah critical thinkers, prepared to speak their minds, in a chamber chock-a-block with unquestioning conformists who like to parrot well-rehearsed lines about countering Russian disinformation or saving our BBC or our NHS from Big Bad Trump.

Who’s really in charge?

When the economy fails, the ruling classes resort to war. Opposition to imperialism has historically come from socialists and libertarians alike. Adam Smith once opined: “War and imperialism are detrimental to economic prosperity and undermine the principles of liberty and prosperity”. Historically in the West, the biggest warmongers have always posed as moderates. The likes of Macron, Starmer and Merz all serve the interests of the most powerful lobbies on earth. They provide temporary public faces for policies decided behind closed doors and sold to the general population under false pretences. Just like the covid psyop, the prospect of war with Russia, Iran or Venezuela empowers the state to rush through emergency legislation in the same vein as the infamous Coronavirus Act 2020 with 300 pages of special measures restricting the basic freedoms of assembly, family life and bodily autonomy we had cherished for centuries. Only the pretext changes. If the authorities can suspend civil liberties and stifle dissent in the name of public health, they can do the same to fight perceived threats to our freedom and democracy, a catchphrase that has become as hollow in the public mind as safe and effective.

As the American Empire crumbles, we may be witnessing growing rifts within the Western World. The unpopular Starmer administration is distancing itself from the US-Israeli axis, just as American grassroots liberals and conservatives, from Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor-Greene and Thomas Massie are now openly condemning Israeli interference in American politics and NYC elected a Muslim Mayor who has turned down offers to visit Jerusalem. However, many failed to notice Zohran Mamdani’s close relationship with Alexander Soros. One way or another, the tide is turning against the kingpins of US foreign policies. As political alliances shift, new divides emerge between regime loyalists and critical thinkers as well as between European and American wings of the Western Alliance
