The West is coming apart. Recent Signal chat leaks show that Trump administration officials have utter contempt for Europe’s neoliberal politicians, and who can blame them? The British people are subject to daily attacks on our national character while our young men are demonised as rapers and stabbers despite the fact that it is foreign gangs raping our women and foreign men stabbing our children.
French and Romanian democracies have been all but abolished by recent judicial rulings barring lead candidates from running for office. Meanwhile Europe has been reduced to a geopolitical spectator as the Russian Federation and United States negotiate a conclusion to the war in Ukraine. My own prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, is taking photo-ops with British soldiers and in military fatigues but I cannot think of a single young British man who would want to go off and die for this country that hates them.
I certainly don’t want my sons or any of their friends to go die in Ukraine in order to spare the blushes of EU head Ursula von der Leyen and Emmanuel Macron.
Europe and America are now locked in a trade war, German courts continue to demonise the AfD, and the Irish political class has been thrown into a full-blown crisis over an Irish MMA fighter’s visit to the White House.
It certainly feels like the hollow shell of the neoliberal West is cracking and crumbling.
I will be blunt in stating that I think this is a good thing. We have persisted as a morally empty, socially decaying, and religiously devoid civilisation for far too long. Our current elite are now fearful of rising nationalist political revolts and hiding behind courts to attempt to stem the tide.
Can Europe Ban National Populism?
This is laying bare for all to see how little is truly left of Western civilisation as constructed in the post-war era.
As countries abandon the precepts of this failed order, such as Sweden embracing repatriation and America doing away with free-trade dogma, the “common values” that bind the West together are falling away. We risk the West breaking into several blocs shaped by divergent values and that is emphatically something I do not wish to see happen. I do not want America and Europe isolated from one another. I do not want Britain as a last remnant of Wokeism on par with North Korea, and I do not wish to see Europeans completely voiceless in the security infrastructure of our continent while America and Russia make all of the relevant decisions.
In order to avoid this outcome the rising nationalist parties and movements of the West must come together under a simple framework of new shared goals. Things that require significant cooperation and will bind us together rather than see us drift apart.
The first and most pressing interest all Western nations share is reversing decades of mass immigration and bringing an end to the Great Replacement. Every country West of the German-Polish border and stretching across the Atlantic to the United States has seen massive demographic changes take place against the democratic will of our people(s). Even Russia has some issues with mass Third-World immigration that it may benefit on working with the rest of the West on.
The countries of the West, as they come under nationalist rule and lead, should begin experimenting with lawful, peaceful, and humane repatriation policies. These policies need to be shared and should be cooperative. Countries who are now building up capacity like Sweden could be ‘hubs’ for continent wide remigration. I imagine the EU’s Frontex Border Agency being put to use for deportations of illegal aliens who land on European shores rather than greeting them with soda-pop and asylum forms ready to be filled out.
This leads into the second major interest all Western nations share: removing ourselves from Chinese influence and shoring up our civilisation to compete with others. China, India, the Turkic states and to some degree Sub-Saharan Africa are coming together under unified civilisational banners. In the case of China and India they serve as examples of “civilisation states” while the Organization of Turkic States and the African Union serve as unifying institutions for their respective civilisations. Even the predominantly slave-descended Caribbean nations are coming together under the banner of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) as well as seeking further integration with Africa as a “sixth” region of that continent. These organisations are all based on tangible, real, identities. The Han Chinese, the Hinduism of India, and the African heritage of the Sub-Saharans and Caribbeans. The West has nothing like this, but we absolutely must.
We must have a “Western League” that defends and helps define our common civilisation in robust (but hopefully relatively peaceable) competition with these other rising civilisations.
A Pro-Western Foreign Policy
Our ethnic heritage is no less important than that of the Han, our Christian origins are no less important than the Hinduism of India, and our shared experiences of war and renaissance are as binding and substantive as the shared slave heritage of the Caribbeans. If we are going to find unity in the West we must embrace our real identities rather than chasing after liberal “values” that have left us weak and exposed.
There are numerous other concerns Western nations share. We all face serious marriage decline and a concerning lack of family formation. We are all dogged my harmful dogmas such as radical Third and Fourth Wave feminism. All Western nations are engaged in a battle between the vision of a flawed Humanity as set forth in our Christian heritage and a liberal vision of some kind of “utopia” free of hate. A utopia that will be built upon bloody soil the same as all failed utopias have been. Western countries all face deindustrialisation, a lack of critical materials, and issues with reliable cheap energy.
These are all areas where we should be cooperating rather than allowing ourselves to come to odds with one another.
American Vice President JD Vance opened the door to this style of cooperation when he so valiantly defended freedom of speech at the recent Munich Security Conference.
Despite having contempt for current European leadership (a contempt most Europeans share) he left open the door to building the foundations for future cooperation. I want future cooperation because I do not wish to see Western civilisation Balkanise rather than rise united and anew. We have an entire world full of competing civilisations arrayed against us (and eachother) and we must stand together in order to prosper.
