Europe Needs Nationalism

My Substack is up on why "European" is as meaningless as "South American."

Let Britain be Britain. Let France be France. And so on.

The Globalist War on Englishness

 Writing in Spiked, Brendan O'Neill notes the war on English identity. An excerpt:

Yet [Suella] Braverman is raising an important question: if anyone can be English, doesn't that make Englishness meaningless? When an identity becomes too fluid, surely it dies?  Like Braverman, I don't identify as English. I don't have a drop of English blood in my body and my family have been here for five minutes historically speaking. I tick White Irish on medical documents and census forms. It would be mental - not to mention rude - if I was to turn to some lad whose ancestors fought at Agincourt and say: 'I'm as English as you, mate.'

Mental Communism

The heart of the problem is egalitarianism. Not equality of opportunity, but equality of outcomes. Once you posit that every disparity is an injustice, you have to correct every disparity. You punish effort and subsidize failure, and the individual stops being responsible to become a rights holder. It's mental communism: no one needs a party card to think the state should do everything, that success is suspect, and that anger is a right. A country that thinks like that doesn't produce wealth; it produces resentment.
