Why did so many of our (Western) elites sell us out to the Multipolar World concept and thus the CCP and Islamists?
Shrewd opportunism, mostly.
While some were ideological and some were merely craven, most of them have been sold a magic spell of inevitability.
There's a change coming, and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
If you help bring it about, things will be good for you.
If you resist it, things will be very bad for you.
If you ignore the opportunity, you will be left behind.
That is, they were told that the world is going or even has gone Multipolar, and their options are to help, lose out, or be destroyed.
This is why the propaganda for the Multipolar World model is always presented as a fait accompli, a done deal. You hear this from Klaus Schwab at the WEF. You hear it from Putin and Xi. You hear it from business leaders. You hear it from Aleksandr Dugin and his surrogates in the Western podcast media sphere. You hear it explicitly from Tucker Carlson. You see it from the bots and rubes on social media all day long if the topic comes up.
The Multipolar World isn't an agenda; it's reality. It has already happened, and we have to adjust to that reality.
That is the context in which Tucker Carlson recently told his falsely enormous (and dwindling) audience that the U.S. must cede some of its power to China. It's just a matter of accepting reality, he insisted. The world is "multipolar" now. It's not that there's no stopping it; it's that it's already done. Our choices are to adapt or die by failing to adapt (very evolutionary!).
This is what the so-called Great Reset was about. This is what Building Back Better was supposed to accomplish.
The thing is, this narrative of inevitability is almost fifty years in the making. It didn't spring out of the ground with Tucker Carlson and the other podcast idiots, or the WEF since they became properly prominent in 2015. It tracks back to the 1960s, and Klaus Schwab was involved, in his own small ways then. His Harvard mentor, Henry Kissinger, who also has Hillary Clinton as an acolyte, was more involved.
In short, in the late 1960s and then in particular in the late 1970s after Mao Zedong died and the much more pragmatic Deng Xiaoping took over the chairmanship of China, whether by evil intention or not, conditions were set up for China to begin rising as a Communist country.
That is, China was being unleashed onto the world stage as a major economic player and eventual world power while still under the control of the CCP, which is purely ideological, despite adopting Nazi economics under Deng.
That ideological part matters a lot. It means that the CCP-controlled China will never be an actual partner to the free, Western world so long as it remains ideologically Communist (even in this new hybrid 21st century model of Communism). It will never integrate. It will be a rising oppositional power on the world stage.
Similar forces were occurring in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s and throughout the Islamist center in the Near East as the world reshaped itself economically with modern shipping and energy dependence on oil and natural gas, particularly given the rapidly rising demand in China as it rose.
Our elites were informed of these changes and told they're inevitable.
China will become a world power, and that cannot be stopped.
China will become the biggest market in the world, both in manufacturing and consumption, and that cannot be stopped.
China will soon rival the West and because of its authoritarian model will soon surpass it.
The Century of Asia and a Chinese-led 21st Century approaches.
They believed this incantation and its inevitability and, rather than standing to oppose it like men, they sold themselves to it. They're elite enough to rise above the disaster, and they're positioned to profit from it massively. Perhaps, as an afterthought, they could soften the blow of metasystem transition for their own citizens and countrymen. Maybe. But what else is there to do.
And war will come. It cannot be otherwise, and it will be terrible. As China rises, it will not settle for second place. War will come.
They were sold this part of the incantation under the branding of Thucydides Trap, referencing the Peloponnesian War. A rising power will inevitably go to war with the standing power to acquire at least regional, if not total, supremacy and hegemony. They allowed themselves to believe this part of the story and convinced themselves that their cravenness was actually for the greater good.
So our effete elites sold our countries out to a new world order model called the Multipolar World model, in which there will be several (at least three) world powers: Chinese, Islamist, Russian, and Western. That was the compromise that allowed them to accept the fait accompli, profit maximally off the opportunity-threat, and lie to themselves and their citizens that they're doing what's best for their countries and countrymen. And all of them will get immensely rich and powerful by playing the game. And they'll watch their elite friends who don't play the game get destroyed, if not worse, so they know it's real.
On the big stage, one guy saw through it. Just one big player.
Donald J. Trump
Trump Derangement Syndrome was deployed as a mechanism not only to try to stop Trump from calling bullshit on this whole wretched affair from the Oval Office, where he could really do something about it, but also to make sure the "Western sphere" in the coming Multipolar World order would fragment, be disunified, and ultimately fail.
Western Europe to the Islamists, mostly operated from Tehran.
Eastern Europe to the Russians.
East Asia and Africa and maybe even South America to the Chinese.
India and the Commonwealth, along with whatever's left of South America, to figure it out for themselves as best they can.
America isolated and withering, poisoned with infighting.
This is the reality of the Multipolar World model, and you can see that for yourself where it has been articulated strategically by Aleksandr Dugin in The Foundation of Geopolitics from the 1990s.
What's happening to our countries around the world is that our elites sold out to this model in craven opportunism and cowardice because they were convinced that it was an inevitability that could also be a good deal for them. That's the story.
The fight of the 2020s, which is overwhelmingly a psychological and political warfare battle, is the fight by our enemies for this Multipolar World model, which is a stepping stone to a world carved up between the CCP, the Russians, and the Mullahs. It's a fight because we're mounting a resistance, and that resistance is strong as hell. Stronger than they anticipated.
I'm not telling you this just so that you can understand why effete elites like Mark Carney in Canada, Emmanuel Macron in France, Angela Merkel in Germany, Kier Starmer in the UK, and so on, including the whole raft of EU, UN, and WEF clowns, or craven and subversive "based" ones like Georgia Meloni in Italy, Viktor Orban in CCP-proxy Hungary, and Nayib Bukele in El Salvador, or the recent popes, have sold us out. I'm telling you so you can orient your thinking.
The Multipolar World is the next destination on the Ride to Hell we've been put upon over the last decade, but it has been the destination in embryo for 50 years, in strategy for at least 30 years, and in execution for the last 10 years. If you believe in liberty, prosperity, security, and Western Civilization and its values, you must orient yourself against this model and those pushing it, whatever "side" they present themselves as being a part of.
Now you know. In Liberty.
