Victor Davis Hanson: Has globalism gone off the rails?

The cult of multiculturalism is a paradox

About half of the population in Europe and the United States seems to want to go back to the world that existed before the 1980s, when local communities had more control of their own destinies and traditions.

A similar proportion seems determine to press on with their personal interests, which those of their confession have unreservedly labelled ‘progress’ and ‘social justice’, without any sense of irony that they are the oppressors according to the power narrative of Marx, Freud, Nietzsche, and their beloved Michel Foucault.  They are the main instrument of oppressing their fellow citizens, and globalism is the ideological opium of their masses.

Citizens of global megacities often feel more affinity with foreigners, who share their values, than with their fellow countrymen with ties of blood, soil, and history.  Accustomed to success and often having sacrificed their familial ties to gain it, they have little patience with countrymen not on board with the globalist project.

Unsurprisingly, the postnationalist citizens of megacities are most in tune with the agendas of transhumanism and posthumanism, being willing to set aside ethical obligations to God and their neighbour in the favour of their ideal of perfection.  This holds true whether it be in the selfish terms of perfecting their own personal wealth, sex, and power (transhumanism), or in terms of self-sacrificially negating the status of the human person altogether (beginning with others).

In either case, it is plain that the real human casualties are mounting.  Their sense of being on the ‘right side of history’ will not allow the globalist tribe to be thwarted.
