Settler dementia support 🇵🇸 retuiteado
The absolute rout of Labour in the May 7th local elections in Britain after it swept into power with a huge majority in the last round made me realize something that I've perhaps only circled around before.
This is a pattern. Let's return to the Davos Regime.⬇️
We've actually seen this for years now in the West, electoral cycle after electoral cycle. Party A takes a certain paraliberal policy course - let's call it the Universal Davos Policy - that heavily favors special interests and globalism, and which is wildly unpopular with citizens because it necessarily entails continued degradation of Western standards of living (via self-destructive economics from war and/or green policy) and cultural cohesion (via mass migration and official woke nihilism). Party B then campaigns against this state of affairs, scores a massive win in a protest vote, and continues the Universal Davos Policy unchanged, sneering all the while at anyone who suggests they should actually fulfill the campaign promises that got them into power. Party A then takes advantage of voters' short memories to get back into power on another landslide protest vote, or in more fractured political systems Party C wins the protest vote... and they continue the Universal Davos Policy unchanged.
Thus we have constant political churn in the West, with political blocs switching off essentially every election - and no policy turbulence at all because the entire political establishment is a wholly owned subsidiary of Davos and ignores voters to do their bidding on ALL substantive policy issues. Anti-Davos political forces are ruthlessly branded as extremists, coopted to promote the Universal Davos Policy should they assume power, or even criminalized and destroyed. Democracy itself is no object, as elections have begun being cancelled and openly rigged in the West when the wrong person could possibly win. The forces involved here are so absurdly powerful that no-foreign wars, end-migration, independently wealthy, hated by the Deep State, ineligible for reelection, Establishment outsider Donald Trump threw his electoral promises in the trash and went mask-off as a Davos puppet during his second term in office.
A note here on how exactly the Davos Regime works - it's entirely upstream of policymaking. Davos controls the mechanisms of political opinion-making through control of academia and media and thus shapes the Overton Window of respectable political discourse to benefit a class of elite transnational oligarchs. Sometimes they use sturdier levers on the politicians who hold formal power - donor pressure, blackmail, even direct and presumably very credible threats to life and limb. They have a regular convention at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland; ergo why I've taken to calling them the Davos Regime.
It is worth noting that the Davos Regime is very powerful but actually fairly stupid, because it has inherited the arrogance, incuriosity and inward-looking parochialism of the Western hyper-elite. Thus we see repeated fiascos when Davos has to interact with powers that have more serious political systems, like Iran, Russia, and China. But it is good - terrifyingly good - at not just bending Western politicians to its will but in fact molding them like clay from their first political principles onwards.
That, my friends, is who rules us.
