To illustrate the point I made in the preceding post:
“Multipolarity is the only way” is what the course in international relations that I’m taking over has taught for years. And it’s the idea promoted by Tucker Carlson, who loves Dugin. It’s also the entire foundation of the Cold War world order. This idea now completely owns us irrespective of our political orientation. This is only one example of how owned we are by this foreign propaganda.
“Multipolarity is the only way”
As I keep asking… how is “multipolarity” different from the world described in 1984? In the book, China became a death cult while in this reality russia has but apart from that?
What’s the difference and what’s the appeal?

There are two organizing ideas to this course: multipolarity and that everybody should be a “citizen of the world.” I’m planning to conduct a ritual burning of the syllabus I inherited.
What the appeal is other than feeling worldly and cool I have no idea.

“everybody should be a “citizen of the world”
Isn’t that just part of the ploy to destroy citizenship as part of the effort to destroy the nation state?

Of course. It’s quite paradoxical that, in a course on interNATIONAL relations, professors would promote the fazing out of nations, making their entire job unnecessary. I’ve abandoned all hope that people would actually notice what they are doing and what it means to their own capacity to make a living.

Could you write re what is happening in France and why?
The Israeli sources I read were ideologically inclined, imo.
Even if the previous is true, this sounds concerning:
“In Marseille, rioters worked from a list. All Jewish-owned shops were set on fire. Muslim-owned shops were left untouched.”

// Teenagers Rampage in Milan. Authorities Deploy Military
Massive riots have been ongoing in Milan for several days. It started with protests against the high cost of living, but it has escalated into looted stores, smashed windows, burning cars, and clashes with police.
What’s particularly shocking is the age of the rioters: according to Italian media reports, around 80% of those arrested are minors. Teenagers in masks are vandalizing and looting stores. What does the high cost of living have to do with it? It’s simply looting disguised as social protests.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has called the rioters criminals who are holding entire cities hostage. So far, 271 people have been arrested, and 32 are in custody. Authorities have decided to deploy an additional 500 military personnel to Milan. The possibility of imposing a curfew is being considered.
It turns out that the army is now being called in to restore order in one of Italy’s largest cities. Is the police unable to handle teenagers in masks?
Now I’m waiting for the inevitable appearance of Palestinian flags, Hamas flags, and posters reading “Free Palestine!” In Europe today, it seems impossible to imagine a street protest without them.

Russia is trying to topple the European governments that are not friendly towards it. Dumb European liberals are playing right into it because they’re addicted to the feeling of edginess it gives them to wave Palestinian rags and imagine themselves as countercultural.

In SA, the original oppression of the Boers was dependence on the Dutch East India company store. The big advantage of multipolarity is the ability to buy cheaper Chinese alternatives rather being forced to buy overpriced American products.
