Zoomers are turning on the neoliberal, open borders establishment that has deprived them of their history and inheritance.

Announcing his intention to stand as an MP in the deprived English seaside town of Clacton, Essex, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage stated that “something is happening out there”’ concerning the number of young people who insisted he return to frontline politics. This vibe shift at the upcoming British general election was foreshadowed earlier this month in Europe. The success of patriotic populist parties across the continent is driven by Gen Z: lacking homes and families of their own due to inflation, energy insecurity, and mass immigration. As I have warned, Zoomers will be a reactionary force—and they have started their march.

Born in or after 1997, Gen Z—Zoomers—have a different frame of reference for world events than their predecessors. The Second World War was more than 50 years ago. To them, the Berlin Wall never existed. Most won’t remember 9/11 on television. In Britain, Tony Blair’s promise that “things will only get better” turned out to be a lie. They only know their nation post-2008 crash, rendered unrecognisable by more immigration in under 30 years than between 1066 and 1945. The political paradigm of their lifetime has been managed decline. They have been indebted from conception, bereaved of a cultural inheritance and sense of historical belonging, and deprived of the chance to own a home to have children of their own in.

But generations are a Western 20th century phenomenon. Each is defined by a technological innovation or world historical event. For example, the Baby Boomers were the largest generation born after the Second World War and contended with the redefinition of the roles of the sexes after the invention of the birth control pill. Zoomers are digital natives: autodidacts, raised with access to a less curated and cumbersome internet than their millennial precursors. Forums spawned fandom communities, which in turn became petri dishes for political subcultures. (Hence why Gamergate was the first skirmish in the culture war.) Siloed in self-selecting political factions, Gen Z have a more fractured group identity than, say, the Boomers famous for Woodstock, protesting Vietnam, and rebelling with rock and roll.

For some Zoomers, that means being wedded to what Mary Harrington has dubbed the “Omnicause”: a set of seemingly incoherent positions on political topics, connected by their advancing the intersecting interests of aggrieved minorities. Their priorities change quickly—from climate change, to trans rights, to Palestine. These political flights of fancy have been pejoratively called the Current Thing™️. This churn is driven by the mysterious force at work in social media algorithms setting social trends. Conforming to these trends becomes the gatekeeping mechanism for friendship circles, job opportunities, and networking soirées. As such, some young people have a perverse incentive to derive all of their beliefs from what Instagram and TikTok present to them. They are children of the algorithm.

The division among Zoomers is between those fed information and incentives, and those who use the internet to source and set them for themselves. The liberal establishment’s policies and censorious culture encourage conformity among its ranks, meaning outspoken, iconoclastic ‘happy warriors’ have been exiled to the patriotic populist right. As the social media metagame grows more sophisticated, these savvier users have a greater impact on online discourse.

This is obvious on TikTok. Despite accusations that the algorithm pushes pro-trans and pro-Palestine content, and probably prohibits criticism of transgender ideology, the Right is dominating the platform. The Conservative Party creates and quickly deletes graphics as unpopular with young people as their policies. But, to the chagrin of British communists, teens are loving Farage’s TikTok content. His taunts of Rishi Sunak and Carry On-esque innuendos accrue millions of views and hundreds-of-thousands of likes. When hideous hoodlums and online prostitutes assault him, he turns it into a viral X meme and maintains momentum. This is because he has staffed his campaign with energised zoomers who understand the importance of social media. The reason Reform are now eclipsing the Tories in the polls is because Farage traded Richard Tice’s strategy of microwaving Thatcherism, capitulating to hit pieces by lying communists, and exclusively communicating through boomer broadcast media for memes and joie de vivre. It’s certainly working, as Reform is now the second most popular party with 18-24s.

This strategy delivered victories for other patriotic populists in the recent EU elections. In France, electoral maps look browner than San Francisco’s. Everywhere except Parisrejected Macron’s poundshop Napoleon act. Not that the French need an excuse to strike, but Macron—from his fuel tax to his pension reforms—keeps giving them options. French natives haven’t been the only ones lighting fires since 2017. A Rwandan asylum seeker set Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul cathedral in Nantes ablaze in 2020. Notre Dame Cathedral was incinerated in 2019—and hastily labelled an accident. This has become something of a trend in France, with one place of Christian worship destroyed every two weeks, two-thirds of them by arson. More of France burned when non-white migrants rioted last year, after a 17-year-old repeat-offender, French-Algerian Nahel M., was shot by police while attempting to flee from a traffic stop. Other racially aggravated crimes imported to France include the murder of a 16-year-old by nine migrants, who declared “We came to kill White people.”

National Rally president, 28-year-old Jordan Bardella, has given voice to the grievances of native French peoples with his slogan “France is disappearing.” Like Farage, Bardella has amassed over a million followers on TikTok, and appears popular with women who stop him for selfies. Bardella used to record footage of himself playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2—infamous for how young men our age bonded through ruthless trash-talk in lobbies. He has also denied allegations that he once ran an anon account on Twitter, with such accountsinfluencing elections by generating infectious memes. As the second-youngest MEP in EU history, Bardella is an avatar of how Europe’s youth are shifting to the right—both because online politics is second nature to them, and because the liberal EU consensus is making their countries manifestly worse. As a result, 32% of them voted for National Rally.

This swing is most evident in Germany. Despite Alternative für Deutschland challenging the decision to lower the voting age to sixteen, they increased their vote share by eleven percent among 16-24s, securing 16.5% of the overall vote. TikToks by Maximilian Krah, advising young Germans “Don’t watch porn, don’t vote green, go outside into the fresh air. Be confident. And above all don’t believe you need to be nice and soft,” seem to have struck a chord.

But another organic viral trend brought Gen Z out in force for the AfD: across Europe, Zoomers have repurposed the 1999 pop song “L’Amour Toujours” as an anti-immigration anthem. German youths don’t have the handful of Japanese businessmen celebrating Oktoberfest in mind when calling for mass deportations. Rather, ‘Ausländer raus’ is directed at the millions of MENAPTS (migrants from the Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan, and Turkey) who have milled about in Germany’s metropoles since Mutti Merkel said “Wir schaffen das.” As studies from Denmark, the UK, and the Netherlands have consistently shown, this cohort—which comprises the majority of asylum claims—never become net tax contributors. In Germany, 45% of benefits claimants are immigrants; in Austria, 60%. No wonder aspirational youngsters, squeezed between paying healthcare and pensions for boomer retirees and housing the Third World and his three wives, want to deport foreign dependents. 

Indeed, it’s not just the thymos of charismatic politicians convincing men to return to tradition. A constant supply of videos of migrants stabbing police officers and politicians, advertising women and girls in vulnerable states to prospective trafficking clients, and boasting about their tax-payer subsidised lifestyle has enraged those of us working, saving, and doing the right thing. Consistent polling has shown that young men are affiliating with conservative parties earlier than we might have been led to expect. This is not, as the BBCscaremongered, proof that the continent is on the precipice of recycling the 1930s. This is a desire to punish a neoliberal, open borders establishment for depriving them of the same sense of cultural belonging, and opportunity to earn a living, own a home, and have a family, afforded to their grandparents. 

And even if it were the exclusive domain of an elusive ‘far-right,’ the inevitable consequence of Gen Z being more ethnically diverse and value-pluralist than their predecessors is that the narratives of the past do not lay like a dead hand on their conscience. An insistence on ignoring ethnic and cultural differences just doesn’t wash when you’ve been raised with them all around you. This doesn’t, thank Heavens, lead ineluctably to the rise of a Fourth Reich. Politicians need only respect the democratic mandate, and stop economically, culturally, and demographically impoverishing the host populations they purport to represent

For Farage and those like him to act as lightning rods for the exuberance of dispossessed Zoomers, they must do more than promise to tinker at the edges of an obsolete post-war paradigm. They must make good on their promises to deport the more than 1 million illegal foreigners who hinder young people’s potential to live humble, law-abiding lives. If they do, it could well mean Labour’s promise to give 16-year-olds the vote backfiring spectacularly.

And to anyone who laments what the Zoomers have become, I should remind you: you made us.

The West is a sinking ship.

It will not be much longer before BRICS fully de-dollarizes its membership ranks, and eventually the entire world.

At a meeting this week in Russia, BRICS announced that it has reached the “final stages” of its dedollarization mission, complete with a new payment system and new competing currency to the global reserve Federal Reserve Note (FRN), also known as the U.S. dollar.

The economic ministers of the leading BRICS member countries are just about ready to unveil a multipolar international monetary system that will mark an official end to U.S. dollar dominance as the sole global reserve currency.

BRICS says its first target for elimination is the U.S. dollar. Then, once King Dollar has been dethroned and deposed, BRICS will launch a brand-spanking-new global payment system to replace the existing world order.

(Related: Every time the U.S. imposes new sanctions on Russia, BRICS gets stronger while the dollar and its position as the world reserve currency collapses even further.)

The sinking ship of the West

For the past two years, the BRICS economic alliance has been working hard to challenge the status quo. This has triggered increased resistance from the dying West as it punches the air trying to stop the inevitable.

As BRICS member nations increasingly unveil new competing currencies, new payment methods, new trade protocols and other substantial changes, the West is busily printing FRN funny money and dumping it into Ukraine to try to stop the empire from dying.

It is a fool’s errand that the West will only embarrass itself in trying to prevent, but it continues nonetheless as the world’s power brokers fight to the bitter end for global dominance.

At the two-day meeting in the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod, members from 20 BRICS countries were present to discuss economic cooperation and expansion plans. Topics included expanding BRICS+, increasing dedollarization efforts and building further economic and trade relations within the bloc.

The No. 1 goal right now for BRICS is to completely cut ties with the U.S. dollar and instead use local currencies for all cross-border transactions among member nations. This setup alone is enticing many new countries to want to join BRICS as they are tired of having their economies manipulated by Western parasites.

BRICS is also floating a gold-backed currency concept to be implemented with central bank digital currencies (CBDC). In other words, Eastern parasites will replace the Western ones, or so it appears.

Whatever the case, the West is dying and the East is rising – there is no doubt about that anymore.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov confirmed that a new BRICS payment system is on the way that will allow member nations to bypass the U.S. dollar with ease. He claimed the new platform will improve the international monetary system by making it possible to pay for mutual trade in national currencies.

Russian President Vladimir Putin likewise called for BRICS member nations to phase out the U.S. dollar and other “toxic” currencies.

The BRICS bloc is scheduled to meet from October 22-24 this fall in Kazan, Russia, to further forge the new payment system, bringing it from an almost-done concept to full implementation.

According to Putin, the ruble now accounts for 40 percent of all Russian import and export transactions – and that percentage is growing all the time.

Jared Cohen, president of global affairs at Goldman Sachs, wrote in Foreign Policy that everything BRICS is doing right now represents “real geoeconomics headwinds to the dollar,” though he still believes the U.S. dollar is safe as the world’s king currency.

It is undeniable that the U.S. dollar is on its last legs, but most Americans are too distracted by whatever to know or care. Learn more at Collapse.news.

The U.S. is redirecting all current and open orders for Patriot air defense systems exclusively to Ukraine, causing delays for other awaiting nations like Poland and Romania

The United States has announced a temporary halt on all existing orders for Patriot missile systems to prioritize the defense needs of Ukraine amid the ongoing war with Russia.

This decision places Ukraine at the forefront for receiving these critical air defense systems, while other countries with pending orders, including Poland and Romania, will experience delays.

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby described the decision as “difficult but necessary” during a briefing. He emphasized that both Patriot and NASAMS interceptors initially intended for various countries are now being redirected to assist Ukraine in defending its cities and critical infrastructure. “Deliveries for these missiles to other nations currently in line will have to be postponed,” Kirby stated.

This move formalizes a promise made by U.S. President Joe Biden last week at the G7 summit, where he pledged to enable Ukraine to acquire the necessary equipment to protect itself. Biden declared in Italy that five countries had agreed to send Patriots to Ukraine and those awaiting deliveries would need to wait until Ukraine’s defense requirements are fully met. “Everything we have will go to Ukraine until their needs are satisfied,” Biden affirmed.

Among the European nations affected are Poland, Romania, and Germany, all of which have pending orders for the Patriot systems. Spain also has an open order, and a NATO coalition placed an order in January for 1,000 Patriot missiles.

Reacting to the U.S. announcement, Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz reassured that the U.S. decision would not impact the readiness of Polish military units. “Contracts for the Polish Armed Forces will be honored. More ammunition in Ukraine means greater security for our entire region. Our government is pushing forward with new contracts and modernization to enhance Poland’s defense potential and our national security,” he stated on X.

The Ukrainian government has repeatedly appealed to Western countries for additional air defense systems, as the lack of such defenses has exposed Ukrainian positions on the frontline and logistical lines, as well as civilian installations, to danger. Efforts by Germany to persuade other nations to supply Ukraine with Patriot launchers were only partially successful, with the Netherlands, offering a system assembled from components supplied by various countries and Spain promising missiles.

In March, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky indicated that Ukraine needed at least five Patriot systems. After Russian attacks in April destroyed many energy infrastructure facilities with missiles and drones, Zelensky stated the need for seven systems and by May, he requested two more to protect Kharkiv.

Can the AfD break through in the east of Germany? The centrist CDU and far-left BSW are likely already plotting an alliance to thwart the AfD’s rise.

German elections in the eastern states this autumn are likely to send shockwaves through the German political landscape, with the latest poll from Saxony showing the Alternative for Germany (AfD) leading at 32 percent. However, AfD performing well in these elections is mostly already baked in, and now the German political establishment is looking for ways to keep the party out of power, including what will likely be extremely unorthodox alliances.

The real twist in these polls is the introduction of the newly formed leftist BSW party, led by Sahra Wagenknecht. In the poll from Saxony, the party is in third place with 15 percent. Until recently, Wagenknecht’s party did not even exist.

The Christian Democrats (CDU) are in a close second behind the AfD. If the elections were held now, the only possible coalitions would be AfD and BSW, AfD and CDU, and CDU and BSW. In such a scenario, any governing coalition in Saxony would only need 44 percent of the vote to govern, as most parties would not make the cut to enter parliament.

Why are only these three coalition combinations possible? The polling continues to reveal the historic crash of left-liberal parties, with the Greens at 5 percent, the Social Democrats at 5 percent, and the Free Democrats at a measly 2 percent. With a 5 percent threshold, all of these parties are threatened with being voted entirely out of parliament, which would be a catastrophe for the governing coalition parties. 

As a result, the CDU will have limited options about whom to work with when all the votes are counted, at least according to current polling.

It is true that the BSW is considered so far to the left that any coalition with it will immediately harm CDU’s credibility. Furthermore, on key issues such as the war in Ukraine, the CDU and BSW parties are diametrically opposed, with BSW promoting an immediate ceasefire. However, the CDU and BSW coalition is the most likely outcome if both parties can secure enough votes, as the CDU will be under enormous pressure to choose this scenario, even if the CDU and AfD are closer ideologically on a range of domestic issues.

For starters, CDU has ruled out any cooperation with the AfD, and in fact, some of its members are actively working to ban the AfD party entirely.

Secondly, the BSW and CDU have not ruled out cooperation at the state level, according to German news outlet MDR. For example, in the eastern state of Thuringia, polling shows a similar situation as in Saxony, with the AfD and the CDU leading, while the BSW has soared higher, reaching 21 percent. There, the BSW regional leader Katja Wolf ruled out a coalition with the AfD but said alliances with other parties are possible.

“It must be possible to talk and reach compromises with all democratic parties,” said Wolf. 

BSW is well positioned to serve as a “spoiler” party against the AfD, just as many on the left had hoped for. The CDU, in turn, will work with the far-left party as needed, and the media will likely be in place to support its decision. Importantly, the German political establishment, including the CDU, will not have to compromise on key foreign policy issues, as the BSW will have little influence on the course of the war in Ukraine at the local state level. The war will continue, open borders will remain in place, and the AfD will be contained.

At least, that is the plan.

Of course, even a shift of a few points in either direction could mean a BSW and CDU coalition is no longer possible, leaving AfD a window to enter a potential coalition government. However, there are still many months to go until elections are held. The AfD could lose or gain support in the east, although it appears to have hit a temporary ceiling in the east over the last year.

If the EU elections were any barometer, the media and the government will likely wait until the final two months of the state elections to spring investigations, launch arrests, and wage a massive media campaign against the right. Despite this last media onslaught against the AfD, it appeared to have little effect in the east of Germany, where the AfD rose to be the number one party in the country.

The AfD is hoping to break the firewall. It is up to voters in the east if this will ever happen.
