Regarding the UK and Spain

Reader comment on item: Europe's Civilizationist Parties

Submitted by Robert (United States), Nov 4, 2022 at 02:43

I don't know if it's a mere coincidence, but the countries in Western Europe that don't have a Civilizationist Party are those which Colonized North America (UK) and Spanish Central and South America (Spain). I wonder why?

Perhaps the reason why are vaguely contained in the populist rise of Trump's America First movement and his slogan "Make America Great Again."

Current events suggest an ongoing criticism of Black Lives Matter and Antisemitism which Ye (aka Kanye West) has recently unleashed. Here we have a Musical Genius which is a College Drop Out and a former Billionaire (until last week). It used to be that in the 1960's African Americans attained their Civil Right against the Jim Crow laws (Racist). But there has been a regression the children of this cohort have become Blacks, the former uneducated descendants of Slave now right their own narratives, supported by Critical Race Theory and seeing the Blacks as the true Jews; the world's Civilization emerged and spread out of Black Egypt. And Plant Parenthood is a form of Genocide against the Black Race. This is expounded by the uneducated Rapper Ye, apparently reading the writings of Black Muslim Minister Farrakhan.

One of the UK's (Royal) Princes recently married a woman whose mother was "black" (of a slave descent I believe) and father was "white." This naturally reminds me that President Obama is also part "white" through his mother but of a non-slave direct first generation African descent.

It seems to me that particularly in the USA, the guilt of a legacy of Slavery and Racism has prevented the emergence of a truly American party movement. However, President Donald Trump is a perfect populist candidate for the Conservative wing of the Republican Party precisely because he's free of an Ideology; he seems in capable of verbalizing or vocalizing an Ideological theory; but for a while he had Bannon on his side who did this work for him. I will not elaborate on Bannon, except to note that he should be studied. It is important to note that Trump is instantly categorized by the (effective) anti-Civilizations within the Democratic Party and its media as Racist and Antisemitic - the last precisely because he was gentle with Ye, suggesting merely that he's not well.

I hypothesize that Trump may be re-elected (as Bibi just was in Israel) and he will implement our Civilizationist movement, even if he does not vocalize his ideology. It is particularly to be noted that it is Trump who cares most about our Border (in around Mexico in particular) and the jobs which American workers loose for various Democratic Party reasons.

It Trump who may inspire the UK to develop a Civilizationist movement. On the other hand, perhaps Brexit and the Greater Commonwealth makes that difficult - the Brits are connected to Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, besides the USA, and that may account for their inability to form a Civilizationist party at this moment; on the other hand, the Brits are struggling to form a stable government. Note the ra[id fall of PM Tuss, who was considering moving its embassy to Jerusalem.
