I was listening to the ZMan today and he was talking about Russia which is an interesting topic but the thing that got me thinking was the end of the hour where he discussed a type of society not based on ideology or even national identity but instead based on civilizational commonality.\u00a0 So instead of talking about democracy or communism or British or French nationality we think about the civilization we adhere to.\u00a0 So, countries with nationalities as different as Arabs, Persians, Afghans and Berbers all recognize a civilization based on the traditional Moslem world view.\u00a0 And similarly, parts of the world with a long history of common culture like medieval Europe or Latin America have a similar ability to interact naturally under the same system.<\/p>\n
Now the ZMan said an interesting thing.\u00a0 He said North America was such a place.\u00a0 It was different from a national identity such as exists in European countries but rather is a sort of generic society based on the common customs and stable institutions that exist in both Canada and the United States.\u00a0 His point was that the liberal democratic system in place in the United States was not the only type of governance that could work here.\u00a0 In fact, in a sense it really isn\u2019t a democratic system currently.\u00a0 But it masquerades as one.\u00a0 Another system that provided continuity for most of the services and functions of modern life would serve just as well, maybe better.\u00a0 After all, the current system is actively disrupting things like families, religion and communities.<\/p>\n
He was comparing this situation with what exists in Russia which is a society that incorporates about 20% non-Russian peoples in its society but manages to maintain the Russian cultural and civil activities for the whole of the society.\u00a0 The idea was that a similar condition could exist here based on the common culture that currently exists but without the liberal democracy running things.<\/p>\n
Well, all of that is fine.\u00a0 But I think what\u2019s going on is already a civilizational system.\u00a0 The order that runs North America is also the one that runs Europe.\u00a0 The Global American Empire is a civilization.\u00a0 It intends to infiltrate all areas of the globe and it has a very definite culture and ethos.\u00a0 And it is doing a very thorough job of indoctrinating people of European descent and also the people that live with them in the countries where they are in control.\u00a0 So, clawing control away from the people currently controlling the empire is much, much harder to do than to say.<\/p>\n
Now maybe certain areas have a culture that can successfully resist infiltration.\u00a0 Sub-Saharan Africa seems to be one and the Moslem world has so far been another.\u00a0 But Europeans and their descendants are absorbed by it effortlessly.\u00a0 If some competing culture is going to wrench away the Left\u2019s grip on America it will require a call to action that can motivate the younger generations out of their lethargy.\u00a0 I have to admit I can\u2019t imagine how this can be done other than to say that it will require a charismatic man of their own generation to come forward and inspire their imaginations with a vision of the future that overshadows the woke orthodoxy of self-hate and decline.<\/p>\n
But I see no indication that anyone like that exists or might even appear.\u00a0 But we are living in an age where things seem to be coming to a head.\u00a0 Eventually the times will make the man.<\/p>\n
