A conservative revolution has swept Europe lifting parties in France, Italy and Germany.
After months of eco-riots, the public firmly rejected green fascism and kicked them to the curb. The results were especially stunning in Germany and France, but political earthquakes also rocked Belgium and Austria, and despite every possible effort to stop Geert Wilders, the Netherlands continues to swing further toward sanity.
The results are not genuinely surprising. A public suffering from a terrible economy, rising crime, migrant invasions and government overreach looked for answers, and rejected a Euracratic establishment that ran on open borders for every country except Ukraine and environmental austerity.
And parties right of center were able to seize the opportunity. Some did anyway.
Rishi Sunak’s Tories are headed for utter disaster and it’s hard to argue that they don’t deserve it. The thing that many people very invested in politics forget is that the general public is apolitical and in bad times will kick out whoever is in power. And the more the establishment shouts about who they shouldn’t consider voting for, they’re going to vote for them. That happened in Europe and polls suggest that it’s happening in the U.S.
Paradoxically, if the Dems hadn’t started raiding and arresting Trump, he might not be nearly as appealing to a section of the country that doesn’t care about issues, but does care about sending a very angry message.
“On 8 November, the dispossessed will walk into the voting booth,” Michael Moore warned back in 2016, “And put a big f**king X in the box next to the name of the man who has threatened to upend and overturn the very system that ruined their lives. Donald J. Trump.”
For once he had a point. And the Biden regime connived to make this happen again in 2024 while little understanding the public dynamic at work. The public hates this economy, hates the elites telling them everything is fine and hates Biden.
But the flip side of that is the public hates the people in power. And is prone to kicking out the last man standing. It’s not a free pass, but an opportunity to earn it.
In Europe, the EUcrats will do everything possible to block the will of the people. As their counterparts will do in America.
The revolution in Europe ought to serve as a warning. Instead it will make the establishment even more insufferable and abusive.

ANTI GLOBALIST 1848 ?

Unfortunately, the general public does not ultimately determine the course of history — the philosophers, theologians, and intellectuals do.
And what both conservative and liberal intellectuals want is more egalitarianism, moral and cultural relativism, altruism and self-sacrifice for God and neighbor, collectivism, socialism, welfare state programs, mystical brotherly love.
Without a proper and fully integrated, hierarchical, philosophy of reason, freedom, liberty, and the personal pursuit of happiness cannot be defended and cannot survive.
“Man needs a philosophy to enable him to reach an integrated understanding of facts and a rational standard of evaluation. Without a proper philosophy, therefore, facts galore can be available, but men will not be able to grasp, connect, estimate, or learn from them. I am speaking here not only of corrupt intellectuals, but also of plain, decent men.
An honest but non-philosophical man can recognize the rising prosperity of nineteenth-century America. But he will not know the implication of his observation for today’s world. He will not know why freedom is essential to prosperity, or what it has to do with man’s mind, or how to answer the people telling him that the cause of the wealth was natural resources, government subsidies, or the unlimited frontier, that “It’s a changing world,” and that capitalism does not apply any longer.
An honest man can see the worldwide failure of statism. But without philosophy he will not know how to answer the people telling him that the failure stems not from the nature of statism, but from its perversion, from the wrong leaders or the wrong tactics—the people who say that “Our gang would do it better.”
An honest man can see that America is now on the brink of chaos and even suicide. But without philosophy he cannot identify the opposite principles at work in our mixed economy or even know that the system is a mixture of opposites. If a man understands only that “Something is wrong,” he is vulnerable to those who clamor that what is wrong is that there is still too much capitalism in the country.” – Leonard Peikoff
Sword of The Spirit says
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:” Colossians 2
THX 1138 says
You are so very right. Religion and rational philosophy ultimately do not mix. When push comes to shove, it’s one or the other.
That’s why I keep telling the religious conservatives here that Christianity is by its core essentials STATIST and that when push comes to shove Christianity leads not to freedom, liberty, and the personal pursuit of happiness, but to their opposite, religion leads to theocracy.
“All rights rest on the ethics of egoism. Rights are an individual’s SELFISH possessions—HIS title to HIS life, HIS liberty, HIS property, the pursuit of HIS own happiness. Only a being who is an end in himself can claim a moral sanction to independent action. If man existed to serve an entity beyond himself, whether God or society, then he would not have rights, but only the duties of a servant.” – Leonard Peikoff
Kynarion Hellenis says
Christianity is hierarchical. Individualism is not.
This has so many implications that you do not realize or consider.
Civilization depends upon hierarchy to honor, protect and nurture individuals. It is not good for man to be alone.
Intrepid says
So go be alone in your elitist statism and leave us alone Mr. Downvote.
Spirit of San Jacinto says
The “the philosophers, theologians, and intellectuals” are the rubes that always fall for the inane. It is almost like watching Frazier reality TV.
You’d think the ‘thoughtful’ would be the shining light, but the ‘shining light’ you see is only a vinyl sticker over the broken lifeless filament inside the bulb.
God has warned of this… take heed.
Intrepid says
Has it occurred to you that no one gives a damn what you have to say, Mr. Downvote.
Your biggest issue is you simply aren’t at all important.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Good analysis.
Traditionally Americans liked the underdog.
THX 1138 says
That’s a legacy of Judeo-Christianity, David versus Goliath. The meek shall inherit the earth.
But notice the love of the meek and the hatred of the strong is a part of Marxism too. “Workers of the world unite against the evil capitalist!”
Also notice that Israel was admired by many in the beginning so long as it was weak but now that it has become powerful and mighty, an engine of innovation, the many resent it.
Also notice how this love for the underdog is also part of victim-grievance politics. Everyone scrambling to be seen as the meek, little, victim of a bully Goliath. “The white man keeping me down!”
Jeff Bargholz says
David wan’t meek. He KILLED Goliath. And then he copped his fucking head off!
Intrepid says
Looks like you collect as many downvotes over here as you do in the main section.
You couldn’t find the legacy of Judeo-Christianity with two hands and a flashlight. And unfortunately for you Randian crackpot theory has no legacy except for failure.
Please keep swimming upstream with the salmon. Maybe one of those bears will catch you

“The revolution in Europe ought to serve as a warning. Instead it will make the establishment even more insufferable and abusive.” -FACTS. They are going full steam with every iota of their agenda and every ounce of persecution and suppression of their opposition that they can muster. In Europe, Canada and Australia wrongthink is now a crime. It’s not officially a crime in America but every agency of the State and many of their corporate friends will make life very difficult for you if you “do not share their values”(ESG, DEI). The problem for them is their echo chamber is getting smaller as more and more normies get mugged by reality.

This is Big news. The populace earthquake does not like what the left is doing. Marine Le Pen’s right leaning party won a parliamentary majority leaving Macron with little influence over domestic affairs. Le Pen had a strong electoral showing notching a 10 point increase on the 2019 result which lured more Conservatives to the RN party with momentum.
In Germany Chancelllor Olaf Scholz suffered from an ignominous fate that the long established Social Democrat party fell behind the extreme right alternative for Germany which moved into second place.
After the prophecies of doom of the last few weeks, we are the second strongest force said AfD leader Alice Weidel., The Center Right Christian Democratic blocl of the EU Commission, President Ursula Von Der Leyen,, dominated in Germany with almost 30%, easily beating Scholz’s Social Democrats, who fell 14% even behind AfD.
Since the last EU election iin 2019, populist far right parties now lead governments in three nations…Hungary, Slovakia, and Italy….and are part of ruling coalitions in others including Sweden, Finland, and soon the Netherlands. The polls give far right parties leads in advantage in France, Belgium, Austria, and Italy.
Hungarian Minister Victor Orban who leads a stridently nationalist and anti-immigrant government, told reporters that to go right is good.! People are searching for common sense leaders, especially in this world today.
Marek says
Olaf Scholz is more of a disgrace than Mittens Kittens. Olaf has been paid off,, is compromised, is a fellow traveler or is stupid.
Floyd Looney says
Marine Le Pen would be a liberal Democrat in the US.

Denmark PM confronted by a Pakistani Muslim.
“We have 5 children while you have 1 or 2.
In 10 years, there will be more Pakis(Muslims) than Danes here.
There are only 5 million Danes. You will soon be exterminated”
Spirit of San Jacinto says
Time for those talented Dane engineers to build a nice wall and start the deportation party.
“Yes you have 5 children, but your ass is on the outside of the wall, mine is not.”
AL says
Pakistanis will make Denmark, Netherlands Finland just like Pakistan, Afghanistan and Libya and Morocco. Sharia law and they will consume all the resources. The four wives was not advocated to give help to a destitute woman….it was to have as many children as possible and propagate Islam.

“Mette Frederiksen is a Danish politician who has served as prime minister of Denmark since June 2019, and leader of the Social Democrats since June 2015 .
“As a teenager, she campaigned to preserve rain forests, protect whales, and end apartheid”
Of course she did. She stuck her finger in the wind and determined whom and what she was going to support.
People like her are why the Soviets had a chance and why the Russians thought they had one.
People like her are why Muslim fanatics have a good chance of turning planet Earth into primitive tribal excrement.,
People like her are shocked about the elections..
People like her in Germany try to round up the AfD.
MJ says
Social Democrats are morons like this one:
Mette Frederiksen
Frederiksen worked as a youth consultant for LO, The Danish Confederation of Trade Unions.[2] She was elected as a member of parliament for Copenhagen County in the 2001 general election which saw the Social Democrats losing the first place and placing second for the first time since 1920. After her election, Frederiksen was named as her party’s spokesperson for culture, media and gender equality.[2] In 2002, she received the
Nina Bang award for “showing political courage, enthusiasm and impact with social feeling”.
Frederiksen received the Ting Prize in 2012.

No wonder people voted right!

A giant tidal wave taking out the Eiffel Tower? That reminds me of that movie “Under Paris” about sharks that became adults in less than a week infesting the Seine River. Worst movie I ever saw and even the stars were repugnant, a skank and a camel jockey. The movie lasted about two hours, I think. I would’ve been better off sitting on my toilet taking a dump than watching that shit.
All of you, don’t watch it. You’ll regret it, assuming you can make it all the way through.
TruthLaser says
ISIS has posted a drone attack meme to the Eiffel Tower as a threat called “Lone wolves’ Olympics.”
Floyd Looney says
As an American I find it strange to see pro-abortion, pro-gay, socialists called “far right”. Apparently you can be as left as you want but if you favor national borders and less immigration you are “far right”…
TruthLaser says
The left has used the phrase “no enemies on the left” to create a united front. Those questioning anything become targeted as enemies and labeled capitalist roaders, counterrevolutionaries, running dogs of capitalists, or whatever the label of the day is. Now, far right is fashionable and requires no Marxist vocabulary for the illiterate college educated to get.
SPURWING PLOVER says
A Conservative Tidal Wave/Tsunami just swept through Europe and washed away the Greens. Up your Nose Greenpeace, EDF and NRDC and the rest of you Global Warming/Climate Change Nutcracks the Pople have vote now its time for all little Eco-Freaks including Greta to. GO HOME
sjam says
In western Europe the ruling ethnomasochist liberal-left have instigated and overseen the ongoing demographic and cultural genocide of ethnic Europeans in pursuit of their no-borders, no-nation state, homogeneous one “world” culture agenda. Their policies of non-European mass immigration and multiculturalism have been imposed on the people of Europe without the peoples’ consent; policies that have not led to social cohesion and community integration but to community segregation and cultural isolationism as witnessed in towns and ghettoised cities across Britain and Western Europe; policies that if the public wanted or consented to would not require the ever increasing number of draconian laws to enforce “multicultural diversity” on ethnic European populations.
Further the ethnomasochist neo-liberals across western Europe have acquiesced and even actively encouraged the colonisation of Europe by Islam thus sowing the seeds of its own demographic and cultural genocide on the path to “Eurabia”.
Muhammad said there was no (Muslim) migration without jihad….as witnessed on the streets of Europe….mass murder after mass murder!

Can there now be any question that now face WW3?
