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.

Time to Re-Watch

 


Amid All of the Artificial Intelligence Talk

 This is a time for us to be rehumanized; i.e. to rediscover what it means to be more than a success formula or a project completer.

What will this require?

More poetry, more beauty, more patience, and more attention to the intangibles.

It will require more time in the white spaces between the boxes on the org chart and, with that, a greater sense of what people want and what they fear.

True


What nature delivers to us is never stale. Because what nature creates has eternity in it.

An Imaginary Racism

Let us recall that the goal of a wise politics is to prevent discord and avoid war. But anti-racism, which has become the civil religion of modern times, has been transformed into a permanent war of all against all, a rhetoric of recrimination.
