One of the defining issues of our time is the attitude towards the Other. For the last few decades, the globalist agenda of predatory capitalism \u2013 seeking to have maximum markets and thus maximum profits for all capitalist products and services \u2013 has demanded maximum migration and acceptance of the Other. This has dialectically generated a nationalist response, with the complete demonization of the Other, summed up in the mantra \u201cBuild the Wall\u201d (to keep them out).<\/p>\n

Right wingers hate the Other, while liberals roll out the red carpet for the Other. Both are wrong.<\/p>\n

We are meritocrats. We don\u2019t care about anyone\u2019s race, sex, sexuality, or background. We do care about their merit. We want the most talented people, regardless of where they come from. What we certainly don\u2019t want \u2013 for any country in the world \u2013 is an influx of those who subscribe to vile and unacceptable religious beliefs and cultural practices, and have no discernible talents.<\/p>\n

Voltaire said, “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” It\u2019s therefore essential for any sane society to wage war on absurd beliefs, not to give them a free pass in the name of multiculturalism and political correctness.<\/p>\n

The Liberals \u2013 because of their extreme hostility towards judgment \u2013 have refused to make any distinction between migrants. They are all accepted equally, regardless of their merits.<\/p>\n

We are meritocrats and that means we are all about judgement. If we applied no judgment, how else would we establish who is meritorious? There are no free passes in our system. You have to work hard and achieve. That\u2019s what meritorious people do. We don\u2019t want freeloaders and deadheads. Such people are repulsive, a burden on society. We don\u2019t want people that believe in toxic ancient superstitions.<\/p>\n

The Other must be subjected to judgment, just like everyone else. The Other might be the best thing since sliced bread, or something sinister and grotesque. Let\u2019s have the former, and not the latter.<\/p>\n

In Europe, every nation has a problem with Islam, an historical enemy of Europe, against which Europe fought many savage wars. The most prominent Muslims \u2013 those wearing burqas, hijabs, niqabs, big beards, religious garb \u2013 are plainly showing their allegiance and promotion of a religion and culture incompatible with the West, which has sought to conquer the West.<\/p>\n

Islam is not compossible with the values of the Western Enlightenment. There has been no Islamic Enlightenment. The two systems cannot coexist. The tragedy is that the politically correct, multicultural, postmodern Liberals believe that they can, and they have inflicted a nightmare on Europe that has resulted in a resurgence of extreme nationalism. They have refused to admit their error and have even doubled down on it. Now we are where we are.<\/p>\n

Liberal globalism \u2013 based on uncritical acceptance of all religions and cultures in order to advance predatory capitalist interests by keeping costs down (by employing the cheapest workers in the cheapest nations) \u2013 must be definitively refuted. Only then can we undermine insane nationalism.<\/p>\n

In the Star Trek vision of the future, all of the backward religions and cultures have gone. No one on a starship wears a burqa. Silly beliefs and superstitions WILL die out if humanity promotes reason and logic. In the long run, it\u2019s inevitable. The only alternative is war and extinction.<\/p>\n

Star Trek is a dazzling vision of a meritocracy. Let\u2019s make it happen for real. It will never happen if we do not pass judgment on bad ideas, bad opinions, bad beliefs, bad cultures. The Liberals, with their \u201call truths\u201d system of relativism and subjectivism, refuse to pass judgment. That\u2019s why they must be decisively defeated.<\/p>\n

No matter what part of the world you live in, you can apply a standard formula to the Other (i.e. to whoever seeks to come into your country). You should never unconditionally hate the Other as the right-wingers do, or unconditionally love them as the liberals do. You should apply fair and just criteria. Are these migrants good for your country and culture? Do they have merit? If so, why wouldn\u2019t you want to welcome them in? Or are they importing religious beliefs and cultural practices that will create antagonism in your society? If so, why wouldn\u2019t you block them?<\/p>\n

Will migrants fit in and improve your society, or will they live in ghettos and undermine the social cohesion of your country? That\u2019s what has to be determined.<\/p>\n

We live in a world of compossibilities, not possibilities. You can\u2019t get to do something just because it\u2019s possible. It must be compossible. People must be cognizant of reality, and not keep pushing their own agenda down the throats of others who are never going to accept it. That\u2019s why we are now in such a polarized world. Various groups pushed various agendas that were never going to succeed. People need to restrain themselves, to not expect to get their own way all the time. The general will must prevail, not the particular wills of individuals and groups.<\/p>\n

We live in a world of \u201cself-expression\u201d where every identity group believes it has the absolute right for its particular will to prevail. No such right exists.<\/p>\n

What do you want \u2013 a permanently polarized world where we are all at each other\u2019s throats (as we are now), or a world where we try to achieve a synthesis? That means that we all have to make sacrifices. Unfortunately, in our consumer society where people can buy whatever they want, have whatever they want and say whatever they want, they are no longer capable of denying themselves anything. They will have to learn. As Kafka said, \u201cIn man’s struggle against the world, bet on the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

We live in a culture devoted to the particular will, but only the general will allows us to live in harmony with each other. The general will demands compromise. How many people are willing to compromise these days?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
