Cometh the Hour: Javier Milei, Geert Wilders, and Elon Musk
The theory of 'when they see the freedom they can have, they will abandon their traditional tribal ways' approach has been proven untrue
Word has it that the elections of Javier Milei in Argentina and Geert Wilders in the Netherlands at the end of 2023 have put the globalist blob into a flat spin. At the same time, World's Richest Man Elon Musk told Disney et al to 'go fuck yourself' for blackmailing him over advertising, as he saw it. Stranger still, he did this at a New York Times-sponsored platform.
Wilders has historically been anti-Islam, but has recently toned that aspect down, a move which appears to have secured his win. Crazy-haired Milei, dubbed the Argentinian Trump, has it in for liberal NGOs and unelected civil servants, and is forthright in his loathing at left-wing pressure groups. Musk's dogged insistence on independence and transparency puts him at odds with the tech hegemony, as was seen in the Twitter (and Facebook) Files.
All these characteristics of the three men has led to them inevitably being dubbed 'far right'; eccentric outliers who have somehow ridden a public mood to temporarily enjoy some time in their respective countries' power. Column inches for all three comes some weeks after the October 7th Hamas terror attack in southern Israel, where a reported 1400 people were killed, some raped, and 200 taken hostage.
Israel's response had been terrible and thorough, the world's leftist press turning on the country for over-response. It appears the populations of Argentina, Holland and X disagree however, and have had enough of being lectured to about what their emotional response to atrocity should be. If there were elections in France, Germany or Denmark, let alone the US, in late 2023, there is a fair chance that other so-called 'far right' characters would prevail – Marine LePen and Alternatif fur Deutschland remain hovering, as Europe suffers an ideological border crisis.
What we see every time national populations are given a chance is that they will vote for someone or something relatable, whether that be Brexit or Donald Trump. The Millennial, multicultural, somewhat patronising theory of 'when they see the freedom they can have, they will abandon their traditional tribal ways' approach has been proven as untrue and weaselly as trickle-down economics.
People do indeed migrate for a 'better life', but often for purely economic reasons. Then once they are settled, are exposed to media and education which tells them how historically evil their new host country once was, through critical race and gender theory courses available at every higher education institution in the country. The price of liberal democracy is apparently now dealing with the demoralisation this sort of inner cultural conflict engenders.
Much of America and the working class across the rest of the west have been aware of this scope-creep problem for at least ten years, leading Hungary and Poland away from the putative lures of 'we all stand together' globalism. This casts individualism, sovereignty and independence as somehow immoral, backwards and even evil, and creating the 'out of touch elite' paradigm.
The men in the title - and not forgetting Giorgia Meloni in Italy - backed up by research done by Michael Schellenberger into the Censorship Industrial Complex, have called 'bullshit', approaching ten years after the first 'populism' panic. Wanting those who make the laws in the country in which you live and pay taxes to be directly elected by the people who live there is an inalienable right. Milei, Wilders have been elected in acknowledgement of this – and in the nation of (Space) X/Tesla, Elon Musk appears to concur with every utterance.
