"The flawed assumption shared by both Left and Right is that ethnonationalism offers an alternative to globalisation; the truth is that ethnonationalism is more a symptom of the decay of globalisation rather than a cure or response."
@thephilippics latest on TNS:…
My latest for the Northern Star, a long read in which I argue why ethnonationalism is a dead end for Britain.
Some core points:
- ethnonationalism will recreate globalism
- civic nationalism is insufficient
- how we must nation-build

Interesting article. Long but raises some thought provoking points and ideas.
Started off thinking it was largely bollocks and it doesn’t really offer solutions, only highlights problems; but that’s no bad thing.
We are, as a nation, in trouble and l see no easy fixes.

Seeing the dwindling bands of masked-up uniparty thugs mounting counter-protests at the migrant hotels seems to me to reinforce the argument of this piece from earlier this year - the pernicious doctrine of anti-fascism really is ending, finally.

As we wrote when Starmer first floated the votes for 16-year olds proposal:
“the idea that under-18s should have [the vote] reveals what the Labour Party really believes citizens to be: children in need of education and protection….”

Excellent political diagnosis of that very sick patient, the Yookay, by @thephilippics. Well worth a read to understand what exactly is needed to overcome British decline

“It is not difficult to see the future of Britain in Ulster’s present. So what might the history of identity politics in Ulster tell us about the future of the Yookay?”
New on TNS. @thephilippics identifies the inverted colonialism that rules in the UK.

“The migration, the sectarianism and the devolution are all symptoms of the deeper political problem. The upshot of this is that since it is a political problem, it can be tackled politically.”
More great writing from @thephilippics over at The Northern Star @TakingControl

"The Yookay is the Empire come home, not only in the direct form of mass migration from former colonies in the Caribbean, Africa and Asia, but more importantly in the structure of rule imposed on Britain itself."

Like we said a year ago….
“It will be a very weak government with weakening support even among an intellectually exhausted and deluded elite, and even less in wider society. The huge majority will make the party hard to discipline.”

"We are faced with the advanced decay of US unipolarity – certainly accelerated by Trump – rather than the emergence of a decisive new order, whether bipolar or multipolar in nature."
