Politics is expressed in ideologies based on a territorial basis, but when an ideology moves away from a geographical location to become a universal and generalized ideology that transcends national borders, it becomes \u201cmessianic\u201d and its leaders become \u201cidols\u201d of a new religious worldview. Consider the Argentine physician, communist Marxist-Leninist revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara as a typical example of this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cultural shift from one national identity to another, based on a state of consciousness (in fact even on a seizure-alteration of consciousness by a fanatical and irrational belief) expresses the transition from politics to the Post-Politics. Such a Movement also signifies the shift of individual identity from territorially defined nation-states to mental politics. The \u201cIslamic State\u201d, \u201cAl Qaeda\u201d and \u201cBoko Haram\u201d (or \u201cWilayat Gharb Ifriqiya\u201d \u2013 \u201cWest African Province\u201d) are contemporary examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cIslamic State of Syria and the Levant\u201d, \u201cAl Qaeda\u201d and \u201cBoko Haram\u201d are contemporary forms of negative regional \u201cPlanetization\u201d (i.e. the construction of a unique type of sustainable human society and at the same time symbiosis between humanity and the Earth), formations that have masterfully used the Internet to attract followers. Of course, apart from the religious-political Islamic movements, other forms of transnational activity, such as science, are also inherently intellectually political. In the near and medium-long term, new forms of collective organization will undoubtedly emerge as new global institutions emerge to confront the crisis of declining industrial civilization and the potential for climate collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nations will increasingly become like organelles within a cell. Our current planetary system of communications satellites supporting our new social media has replaced what in the past were the printed media and the railways for the dissemination of modernity. We must therefore continue to explore and study the evolving new world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what role will the very recent winner of the American elections, President Donald Trump, have in this global event? When the citizen of a country, in this case, the USA, experiences a dysphoric reality, when he feels threatened from all sides, when he is systematically deprived of all hope and perspective, realizing at the same time that his well-intentioned tolerance is perceived by those in power as acceptance of their lies or inability to react in any way against the deceitful organized ethnodestructive minorities, then he is rightfully and reasonably led to a choice of a Political Leader capable of acting as a factor in cleansing and restoring things to healthy traditional bases. Then the average citizen emphatically gives his unyielding response. This is what the vast majority of Americans did and brought Donald Trump back to the Presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Populist leaders generally actively present themselves as the voices of the people and appeal to the feeling of resentment and envy for the rich. Here, reviewing the political history of the United States, we automatically think of the largely unknown in Europe, American \u201cleft-wing Democrat\u201d, ultra-patriot and populist senator Huey Pierce Long, the youngest, great enemy of Franklin Delano Roosevelt \u2013 FDR and enemy of the deep plutocracy state, who was accused of being a \u201cfascist\u201d and assassinated. Donald Trump represents a new kind of cultural emergence. He is a billionaire based in New York, but at the same time he presents himself as the unpretentious ordinary man of the vast American hinterland who \u201cfalls in love\u201d with simple solutions. Mexicans, Muslims and sexually active women have sometimes become his scapegoats or even objects of jokes and ridicule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump represents the new American \u201ccultural fascination\u201d with male victorious athletes, which has been created for at least two decades by television as a compensation for the progressive dissolution of natural and social standards: With the serial and repeated false and fraudulent promise of equality and justice, as well as with the constant invocation of the necessary progressivity and modernization, we have reached points of absolute ridiculousness and disgust. We saw at the Olympic Games (the world’s largest sporting event), men participating in\u2026 women’s sports, we saw the furious rejection of the institution of the family and the ridiculous contempt for polygamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We saw the horrific denial of gender by misguided minors, we saw same-sex marriages and childbearing, we even saw \u201cneutral\u201d toilets for \u201cnon-men \u2013 non-women\u201d (? !). We saw the well-organized, consolidated suppression, intimidation and subjugation with direct or verbal violence (with the standardized expressions of social pseudo-revolutionaries: liar, homophobic, paid, racist, fascist), so that no opposing point of view could exist. Disparaging and invalidating practices were sanctified and systematized at the level of social slander for any carrier of a different perspective and point of view, with intimidation by the well-paid establishment factions and the variously named mob of woke awakening. Finally, we witnessed the multifaceted hatred of the alleged victims of prejudice and discrimination, hatred mixed with demands for rights and additional privileges, especially for the immediate redress of falsely and unjustly alleged racist inequalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, in the former world power USA, in the \u201cland of the brave\u201d, modern politics is just another \u201cSuper Bowl\u201d, that is, the most important and popular annual game of American football, which is held between \u201ca \u2013 dominant\u201d males. The Super Bowl is first in television ratings every year in the USA and second behind the UEFA Champions League final in annual sporting events worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Certainly, television (especially American television) is a medium that benefits from aggressive advertising, from \u201csound bites\u201d (\u201csound bites\u201d \u2013 short recorded statements or slogans, shown on television, especially in conjunction with news reports) and from polarization in voice games, instead of solitary reading and honest reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within this experiential social context, Donald Trump is what the average self-respecting white working-class American would like to be (the infamous \u201cJoe Six Pack\u201d). The neo-rich aesthetic of a Las Vegas high roller\u2019s suite of residence is reproduced in full in the online photos of Trump\u2019s penthouse apartment. That is, it has exactly the style, the style of residence that a “Joe Six Pack” who has been deprived and miserable for many years would choose\u2026 if he won the “Powerball” lottery (the very lucrative American lottery game offered in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the peculiar \u2026 cohabitation of corporate elites and mass aesthetic vulgarity, the peculiar stamp of Trumpian Republicanism is sufficiently reminiscent of the union of the companies I.G. Farben (I. G. Farbenindustrie AG) and Siemens with the \u201cnationalized\u201d popular masses of the National Socialists in Germany of the 1930s. Then we had the reasonable and just dissatisfaction of the German Nationalists with the blatantly anti-German Treaty of Versailles, and now we have the dissatisfaction of the American Nationalists with the new multicultural America, in which the marginalized and angry white men and women of the working class feel like \u2026 aliens in their own country. When Trump says \u201cMake America Great Again,\u201d his supporters understand that the slogan is a coded subliminal rendition of \u201cMake America White Again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms. Harris, apart from her communication skills, is completely devoid of any real social appeal, as was repeatedly demonstrated by her various rallies and speeches during the campaign. The just-concluded elections are an excellent example of \u201ccultural recovery and restoration\u201d according to the great Canadian philosopher and media theorist Herbert Marshall McLuhan 1 (Herbert Marshall McLuhan, 1911-1980). \u201cCultural recovery and restoration\u201d of the 1930s, on the one hand with the repetition of the parasocialism of FDR\u2019s \u201cNew Deal\u201d (a series of economic measures enacted in the USA, between 1933 and 1938, through presidential decrees and laws passed during his presidency, in response to the homicidal \u201cGreat Depression\u201d of 1929) by Harris\u2019 \u201cDemocrats\u201d and on the other hand with the repetition of Mussolini\u2019s populist, pro-people and patriotic nationalism by Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
McLuhan emphatically said: \u201cThe medium is the message!\u201d In this regard, we must remember that in the 1930s, the \u201chot medium\u201d radio transformed bourgeois politicians such as Franklin Delano Roosevelt-FDR and Winston Churchill into political saviors of their peoples and cultural protectors of their countries, while television transformed the 1960 presidential election with the 4 televised \u201cduels\u201d between the winner John Kennedy and his televised opponent Richard Nixon. Thus, social media and the Internet transformed these 2024 elections with their relentless information campaigns, despite being under regime siege.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Republican Party came to Donald Trump\u2019s side because it had no coherent intellectual philosophy of governance before him. It simply had a bunch of denials of other people\u2019s ideas, mixed with corporate-style management. But you can\u2019t run a complex, multicultural, nuclear-armed nation-state simply with the right-wing ingrained sense and belief that irresponsible, authoritarian government is bad. So the less evidence we have of that government, the better off we will be. Thus, the Republican Party, (which is opposed to the philosophies of libertarian liberal governance, climate science and evolution in particular, but also science in general), was left unprotected without any spiritual immunity, so that the powerful ideological “contamination” of nativism and the frenzied anger of white men took over completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nativist movements emerge in political life when the “labyrinth” of diverse political and social corridors and paths in a culture becomes unbearably confusing and incoherent. This confusion and incoherence often occurs when a culture shifts from one worldview to another. The “Ghost Land” (“Nanishana”) of the Paiute Indians in the United States (1890) and the “Boxer Rebellion” in China (1899-1901) are classic examples. In successful cultures, intellectuals emerge who help the worldview transition, articulating the new successor worldview. This happened in Europe with the Renaissance and its shift in worldviews from religious medievalism to scientific modernity, from hierarchical kingdoms to bourgeois nation-states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But even in the case of Europe with the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution, and the Enlightenment, the bloody Thirty Years’ War occurred, and England had to go through a civil war with Cromwell against the Crown in order to create a parliamentary democracy. But England and its American colonies continued to “think,” first with Locke and then with Jefferson. However, even after the American, French, and Irish revolutions, the revolution was followed by bloody civil war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the new polarization of the United States between Harris’ multicultural pseudo-social democracy and Trump’s white nativism, the US has entered a dangerous zone of political polarization, which depending on the success or failure of the Trump administration could lead to an undeclared civil war. The US Ocean Coasts express a “transplanetary” multiracial and multicultural consciousness, but the Interior [from Montana to Texas, the Midwest (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin), as well as the Deep South (Alabama, Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas, and Florida)] expresses nationalist values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is ironic, both fortunate and unfortunate, that this American nativism has found its leader in a determined New York billionaire, an active and cheerful old man, who fortunately shows no signs of senile insanity like his predecessor, Joe Biden. Trump\u2019s politically new nativist movement has emerged powerfully because there is indeed a major problem with institutional multiculturalism, which works against White Protestant America and more generally against White America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is time for America to think seriously and thoroughly, to think about science, climate change, illegal and legal immigration, and the operational ideas required to govern a complex multicultural, technological nation-state living within a global economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Greek \u201cpolis\u201d emerged in the Assembly of wise old men and capable young men, who could defend Athens with its democratic hoplite formations against the attacks of the Persian Empire. War was no longer the individual heroic display of martial virtue by a warrior in his Homeric \u201cexcellence,\u201d but a collective participatory effort of comrades in the \u201cline\u201d of the phalanx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Persian Empire was a system of transnational communication, strongly held together by good roads and fast horses with mounted messengers and regular military outposts. An empire, unlike the Greek democratic city, was the territory of vassals. Its regionally concentrated populations were subjects, not citizens. From the dawn of civilizations in ancient Mesopotamia, India, and China, empires had an ethnic and religious binary system of identity of \u201cus\u201d and \u201cthem.\u201d Even to this day, the Han Chinese maintain a system of exclusion of \u201cforeign devils\u201d and uphold their identity system, using the Communist Party as a priesthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In contrast, the Roman Empire introduced the Hellenistic idea of \u200b\u200bthe citizen, and Saint Paul-Saul, a Syrian, was proud to be a Roman citizen, and used his citizenship as a means to convert a local Palestinian prophetic movement into a universal religion. Classical Rome attempted to use its seductive but unwieldy system of polytheism as a glue for imperial identity, but the attempt was unsuccessful, so Persian Manichaeism, Mithraism, Gnosticism, and Christianity remained attractive alternatives. First with the emperor Constantine and then with Justinian, Christianity proved a simpler and more effective way to hold an empire together. Even after the final collapse of the Roman Empire in 476 AD, Christianity survived and flourished during the Dark Ages, and Charlemagne was crowned Holy Roman Emperor by the Pope in 800 AD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is happening today is that these two ancient and archetypal forms of empire have returned and are competing for dominance. The so-called \u201cAmerican Empire\u201d has tried to absorb cultures into its multicultural identity. With the Marshall Plan and the post-war Bretton Woods American dollar economy, it first absorbed the devastated Western Europe. Now it is trying to show that Islamic Civilization can also become\u2026 American. The Muslim community, the \u201cUmmah\u201d and the barrels of oil can coexist peacefully within a new expanded \u201cwe\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This multicultural America is what Trump wants to eliminate with his nativist movement to return to White Protestant America. In this nativist vision, if immigrants come to America, they should probably \u2026 wear blue jeans and American college sweatshirts, speaking rudimentary English. Paradoxically, Trump\u2019s vision is identical to the Han vision of empire and identity, with which China is trying to block the invasions of the World Wide Web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the US follows the hallucinatory vision of \u2026 \u201cliberated sensualist\u201d Justin Trudeau for a multicultural North America and is able to absorb Islamic Culture, as it previously, in its \u201cchildhood\u201d age, absorbed Irish and Italian Catholics and Central European Jews, then the Roman model of empire will emerge, not the Persian one. Indeed, thanks to the Internet and the online politics that the \u201cleft\u201d Democratic activist and scholar Bernie Sanders is exploiting so successfully for his fundraising, the Noosphere, initially formulated by the Russian Vernadsky and then by the French Teilhard de Chardin, will emerge as a global Noopolitics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the major Western countries that are considered developed, powerful, with cultured societies with different identity systems, based on class and language, people have mostly forgotten their origins. However, the societies of these countries, despite their financial \u201cskeleton\u201d, are not simply interconnected rational actors operating in a market system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consider a recent example of a strong challenge to the one-dimensional dominance of money and interest: Despite the outcome of the Brexit vote, Scotland did not leave the United Kingdom and the Scots did not dare to free themselves from the dominant British monarchy. The monarchy is an expression of what the great German linguist and philosopher Hans Hermann Rudolf Gebscher (1905-1973) – who changed his citizenship to Swiss and his name to Jean Gebscher – called the \u201cMagical Structure of Consciousness\u201d. It expresses a system of dominance that we inherited from our ape evolutionary relatives, rather than a system of representation. It was undoubtedly a very useful system for the survival of a collection of warlords and warring tribes, at a higher level of organization, but it is not the most suitable form of government for a modern nation-state. And yet, there are many people in Europe who still cling to this form of thinking. They may no longer believe that the touch of the king cures swine fever (cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis), but they believe that the face of the monarch on their currency ensures it as a fiduciary instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The misanthropic, egotistical and bulimic spirit of the Overlords and the tyrannical psyche of their “entitled” and oppressive followers, move in the same mental framework as Bolshevism. So when every Kamala Harris in the US calls her political opponent a \u201cfascist\u201d, she ultimately finds no receptive ears among the country\u2019s passionate, sensible citizens. Thus, they turned to Donald Trump to confront in the necessary and absolute way the inhuman vision of the corrupt elite, which believes that it will last forever and thinks that the tolerance of its citizens has no limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leaders emerge on the historical stage with diverse and different methods, trajectories, paths and choices. With national, racial, class rivalries,.. with or without divine inspirations\u2026. They triumph, die, succeed or fail, dominate\u2026.they suffer\u2026.but they present themselves with a fatalistic consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
