[Yuri Bezmenov's Ghost @Ne_pas_couvrir]

In an increasingly multicultural society, declining trust and demographic competition drive people to organize into ethnos blocs that outcoordinate atomized individuals and turn politics into a struggle over resources and state power. As those blocs harden, the state increasingly governs the resulting instability through authoritarian, technocratic means, making the future ethnos below and technocracy above.

Blank-slate universalism was never a durable operating system. It was an ideological luxury sustained by states already bound by a dominant historical ethnos, inherited norms, and deep reserves of common trust. Multiculturalism consumes that inheritance while denying it was ever necessary. As ethnic heterogeneity rises, generalized trust erodes, civic solidarity thins, and people sort into blocs that supply identity, protection, and reciprocal obligation. As universal institutions lose credibility, obligation retreats to groups whose members can reward loyalty and punish defection. The common society recedes; the in-group becomes the decisive political unit.

Ethnos blocs possess dense networks, internal discipline, and the power to coordinate turnout, institutional pressure, and social sanctions. Atomized individuals cannot match that unity. They are fragmented, cross-pressured, and easily outorganized. Public choice accelerates the process. Each bloc captures concentrated benefits while dispersing costs across everyone else. The state adapts by distributing appointments, exemptions, selective enforcement, and legitimacy through recognized groups. Appear as a bloc or forfeit the seat.

Heterogeneity reorganizes political life around group competition. Elections become demographic contests. Appointments become ethnic allocations. Policy transfers status and resources among blocs. Political defeat becomes collective dispossession; institutional control becomes group security. Ethnicity becomes the currency of collective power. Individualists must accept political irrelevance or become a counter-bloc. Once every population must form a bloc to survive politically, the creedal order has died.

Lee Kuan Yew understood the regime consequence. A deeply plural society cannot be governed by sentimental assumptions of spontaneous cohesion and procedural neutrality. When communal blocs compete through the state, it must manage them from above through housing policy, administrative allocation, surveillance, and speech controls. In the contemporary West, this machinery is increasingly digital: data collection, algorithmic monitoring, platform control, and behavioral regulation.

Multiculturalism hardens ethnos below while building technocratic authoritarianism above. The less a population can govern itself through common trust, the more coercion the state needs to hold it together. In an increasingly multicultural society, the future is ethnos, and the government of ethnos is technocracy.

@CarymaRules I wonder how many of the police think "I want my kids to act like this in public"

[JamesTor @JamesTor9]

@DrMichaelBonner you left off that Trudeau flooded the country with immigrants and also judiciary and regulatory institutions with people who agree. and have the intent to make Cda into a post-national state w no core values

and that all is Carney's voting base

[JamesTor @JamesTor9]

@gmforbes35 exactly

that and make it a private airport

the people who hate Billy Bishop are mostly snobs. If it were made a pvt airport they would never go to Pearson ever again

[JamesTor @JamesTor9]

@duncandee the myth that LPC has built is that Cda is a *post-nation state* that doesn't need the Crown, the parliamentary inheritance, institutions, mythology and love of country or *any core values* in order to have power over territory

and that is what Carney is doing that every day

@Braintatoes @alina0 @SVPhillimore @femmeshark No women "produce" eggs. We're not hens. They are formed in the womb and we are born with all the eggs we will ever have.
Another reason why men who claim to be women, are still men.

@Gaynotqueer1 are we supposed to believe that she stays out of conversations that she disagrees with?

how likely is it that a Karen will mind her own business?

Cette photo mérite absolument tous les prix. Elle a même sa place au Louvre.

Elle relate précisément l’inertie de l’individu face à l’effondrement.

Regardez la composition. Un chef-d’œuvre involontaire.

Au premier plan, le sable doré, les tongs abandonnées, la glacière. Le décor ordinaire du bonheur estival. Deux personnages assis, de dos, comme dans un tableau de Caspar David Friedrich. Sauf que Friedrich peignait des hommes contemplant le sublime. Ici, ils contemplent la catastrophe. Et ils ne bougent pas.

Au centre, le parasol. Publicitaire, criard, dérisoire. Un pastis face à l’apocalypse. C’est presque trop parfait : la France qui prend l’apéro pendant que le monde brûle. Aucun scénariste n’aurait osé.

Et puis le ciel. Les deux tiers de l’image. Cette muraille de fumée qui avale la lumière, ce dégradé d’ocre et de noir digne d’un Turner. La nature qui reprend la palette des maîtres pour peindre notre propre fin.

La femme photographie l’incendie avec son téléphone. Mise en abyme totale : nous documentons notre disparition au lieu de l’empêcher.

Cette image dit tout. Le déni, le confort, l’habitude. Nous sommes tous sur cette plage. Nous voyons tous le nuage. Et nous restons assis, parce que l’eau est bonne et qu’on a posé nos congés.

Les historiens de l’art parleront un jour de cette photo comme on parle du Radeau de la Méduse.

Sauf que cette fois, le naufrage, c’est nous qui le regardons depuis la plage.

The government is using taxes paid by homeowners struggling with expensive mortgages to rescue condo developers struggling with expensive inventory loans (aka builder mortgages)👷‍♂️

Basically so banks can avoid losses and bankers can keep their annual executive bonuses 🏦👨‍💻

Sad that our federal Liberal govt is exactly the opposite. 🤬

[Geoff Horsman @HorsmanGeoff]

And the Liberals consider Canada a post-national state and promote the idea of global citizenship.

We know who has the patriotism problem.
