It wasn't a coincidence that all these elements came together yesterday. I still felt the need to put it all together.

The US will not object to Macron making common cause with the Far Right, as long as the fusion does not question France's Atlanticist orientation in general, or the war on Ukraine in particular.

It is clear, after only living in Italy a few months, that America's poisonous ideologies have spread to all westernized nations, which will eventually lead to the implosion of all. The tendency of the the middle class and elites abroad to send their children to American universities has all but ensured their cultural and political demise. These kids go back home after achieving their gilded and lauded U.S. university diploma, then go on to poison their own governments and cultures. It is unclear if this was intentional on the part of these parents, or just naive. Doesn't matter; the results are the same. The American government need not do much once they have poisoned young minds. America is a pox on the entire world, the 800 pound gorilla determined to pound everyone into ideologic submission; the one ring to rule them all. The economic and military clout of that gorilla, coupled with its corruption, makes the ends seem inevitable. God help us all.

Good piece. France has a tradition of media savvy "intellectuals", barely distinguishable from socialites, who are in it for the fame and fortune, but also agents for foreign transatlantic powers (BHL, or the French intellectuals discussed in "The Cultural Cold War" by Frances Stonor Saunders, etc). She reminds me of Baerbock who also had a puff piece in the NYT before the German Elections, or on a slightly opposed intellectual end of the spectrum Ayaan Hirsi Ali (who was allied with the American Enterprise Institute). It doesn't really matter whether these people are om the "right" or "left" as long as they flow with the Empire.

Calling an open enemy an “ally” to save yourself the humiliation of revealing that you can’t do anything about them anyway is probably the right tactical move in an advertising-based régime.

"Of course the American agent will quote MLK. That’s part of the process of Americanization. MLK is completely alien to France and its history, but that won’t stop people like her from trying to reframe it anyway. To them, we are all Americans... ...one way or another."

What a great example of the imperial mindset. Our myths are the only myths. We're pleased France is taking the opportunity to educate itself.
