The European Revolt Against Woke America

Even the long decaying Europe…..

America’s woke has awakened the dead continent.

The European Revolt Against America’s Identity Politics Is Here

Of America’s numerous exports to Europe, the one in least demand is the weaponization of personal grievances disguised as tardy social reform.

By: The NY Sun, May 17, 2023:

Is Europe coming for America’s hyperventilating woke brigades? The short answer is yes. The longer answer is more nuanced, like the complicated continent itself, but from Britain to, egads, Russia by way of historical American allies (and favorite vacation spots) like Greece and France, political and academic sentiment is coalescing around the idea that something in the American zeitgeist has gone awry.

Consider that the Conservative British home secretary, Suella Braverman, has just averred that a multicultural push “will end in tears.” She was referring to issues pertaining to migrant labor and immigration, but the gist is that at the highest levels in Britain, some of the notions of social equity routinely espoused by the radical left in our country are falling by the wayside.

Consider also the swift downfall of a former first minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, who though caught up in Scottish National Party finance problems was also notably embroiled in a controversy over transgender issues that were widely perceived as out of touch with everyday Scottish priorities.

As for France, a lot of attention has been focused on Marine Le Pen lately. As odd as it may sound, the leader of the far-right National Rally faction in the French parliament just received a glowing profile in a guest essay for the New York Times that asked, “Why Is France Acting Like Marine Le Pen Is the Adult in the Room?”

The simple answer is that because she is l’adulte dans la chambre — this even though a generation of French voters associates her with her papa, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who once notoriously dismissed Nazi gas chambers as a “detail” of history (and was penalized for it).

Ms. Le Pen is deftly leveraging the frustration many French feel toward what they perceive as the elitist and demagogic drift of France’s charming but fickle young president, Emmanuel Macron. According to the article in the Times, polls indicate that were Ms. Le Pen to square off with Mr. Macron in a presidential race today, she would beat him by a 10 percent margin.

Although issues like pension reform weigh more heavily on the French voters’ minds than the woke agenda, Ms. Le Pen’s popularity is not due solely to her unrelenting criticism of Mr. Macron and her pledge to reverse his much unloved pension reform should she become president. The National Rally has long positioned itself as the defender of traditional French values and the champion of the working class — both of which resonate with a public suffocated by the condescending cultural headwinds of the kind of neoliberalism favored by Mr. Macron.

In Greece, where election season is in full swing, a prominent politician, Antonis Samaras, delivered some remarks about the woke agenda that took many Greeks by surprise. As it happens Mr. Samaras, who served as prime minister between 2012 and 2015, was stumping for New Democracy, the center-right party of the incumbent premier, Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Mr. Samaras decried how the “so-called woke culture in the West” is contributing to “the demolition of what constitutes our common heritage.”

The normally even-keeled politician hammered away at some woke precepts like “relegating to faceless numbers, Parent 1 and Parent 1,” the “sacred persons of Mother and Father.” He assailed “gigantic” problems like “aping nonsense about how many ‘genders’ there are.” This “abusive entitlement,” Mr. Samaras continued, “leads to a divisive and incomprehensible new language of political correctness” and is “wrong for the West.”

Our enemy put on our clothes and dressed us up as them. All it took was wealth and time.
They are a beast that made us into their image. They want the people they rule to hate us, because they wanted to be like us. They want the world to hate us. They are cross dressing totalitarians. They want the world, and even their own people (subjects), to murder us for them. Their political power in our Republic is called the Democrat Party. They control our currency using a foreign bank called the Federal Reserve Bank. They own the MSM. They bought academia at an investment in conquest. It’s all right in front of your face.

The European royalty is working together. Don’t think for a second that the governments over there are really controlled by the people over there. Proof is the importation of Muslims and the insane open border policies and the green agenda and the endless push for war (using us as their muscle), and so on. Our allies are our enemies. I am primarily referring to the leadership, but the people take on the nature of the rulers over time. That’s the Rider and Horse thing…..

They hated us from day one. Free people, or people wanting to be free, were always a problem to ruling families, but our birth made us an example of free people that could take them all down from their own soil.

The royalty over there formed a coalition. That coalition is not unlike a coalition of lions. They would all like to be dominant, but they work together to expand territory and pride. It’s remarkable how they use the symbol of a lion, and they act like them.

Islam invaded and almost conquered Europe, so you’d think they would have united against Islam. They see us as a greater threat, so they embraced Islam (as a proxy army – keep your friends close and your enemies closer) to help them murder/conquer us. They even embraced China for the same purpose. They want to win by simply surviving a war of survival set up between us and their other global competition.

I’ve been told by many people that Satan rules the world. OK, how does he do it? What is his greatest weapon? THE LIE – DECEPTION. He’s not running around with a pitchfork. The royal families and the central bank families are Satan worshipers. It doesn’t matter what you believe “religiously” about Satan, it matters what they do. Satan would use tools, and these royal families would be those tools. No? They’ve been ruling the world, haven’t they? It’s pretty simple, no matter how you look at it.

No evil ruling families = no problem. Submission or revolution.

Just for fun, if you use an alternative definition of “pitch” as in a sales pitch, he is running around with a pitch fork. His pitch fork is his forked tongue.

I love these word games.. We’ve been victims of them for a very long time.

If we had extradited George Soros 30 years ago, America would not be “woke” today.

All of the Countries are growing tired of the US since 2020. They have no respect for the US Government, the Country, and laugh at our military which has turned into a big joke.

Correction…. The National Party in France today is NOT Far Right though her Father was but she has nothing to do with her Father anymore since many years and has changed the Party her Father founded.
She will save France from its current demise just as the AdF will save Germany and a few other great leaders around Europe that are labeled evil racist nazi yada yada yada when all they want is to save their Cultures from become islamic.
If that is called Far Right then paint me as one.
