This analysis touches on something vital: the growing disconnect between the political elites and the populace. As the mainstream political class doubles down on identity politics, wokeism, and globalism, they’ve created an environment where traditional values—rooted in national identity, cultural cohesion, and faith—are treated as relics of a bygone era. The consequences of this are now visible across the West, where the very fabric of social unity is unraveling.

What’s increasingly evident is that political discourse has shifted from a debate about policies to a battle over the survival of a national soul. The elites have embraced a cosmopolitan, post-national worldview, one that dismisses historical traditions and cultural continuity in favor of global governance and the erasure of borders. However, this approach leaves a void—a void that is being filled by a new wave of dissident thought, one that recognizes the importance of culture, heritage, and community.

We’re seeing an emerging recognition that the state isn’t simply a structure to provide services or enforce laws—it’s an extension of the people themselves. If the government loses touch with the cultural and spiritual core of its citizens, the very legitimacy of the system is called into question. This isn’t a crisis of policy; it’s a crisis of identity.

The question, then, is how to move forward. The old conservative guard has failed to defend the nation from the forces of cultural erosion. What comes next might very well be a new form of political alignment, one that acknowledges the importance of rootedness, national pride, and, ultimately, a renewed commitment to defending the things that matter most—family, faith, and the survival of a coherent, meaningful identity in an increasingly fragmented world.

The upper class is showing the same disdain to their lower classes that they used to give to their fellow Englishmen in the Colonies in 1775.
