"Today, the #American covenant is under serious pressure from two directions simultaneously.

The left has been replacing the covenant’s universal terms with group identity. The relevant question, in this framework, is not what you accept but what you are: your #race, your #gender and your position in a hierarchy of historical grievance. From the right, #ethnonationalism defines the nation by #ancestry and #culture rather than by shared obligation. In both models, the covenant is conditional, depending on which group you belong to.

Both abandon America’s founding logic. Both make #Jewish belonging in #America contingent in ways that Washington explicitly said it never could be."

„Criticism of the #ideology underpinning Israel's foundation remains contentious in Germany. In the US, however, a significant shift is taking place. The Zionist consensus within the Jewish community is fracturing and debate is opening up.“

Illumination in dark times
A genealogy of modern Western selfhood and a post-Western world

"Smith ... outlines a genealogy of modern Western selfhood: a radically individual, hypermasculine character that was formed during the rapid nineteenth-century expansion of the white man’s world. “Bold, conquering, and altogether assertive,” it was “dedicated to action,” hostile to reflection, indifferent to community and the environment, and guilty of possessing, Smith writes, an “undeveloped heart,” a term borrowed from E. M. Forster’s assessment of the British elite." "

" “We must alter our very relations with the world around us.” This means giving up the exalted and exaggerated idea of the West that boosts a masculinist self-image but severely constricts thought and feeling. “We should welcome our era’s uncertainties,...the not-knowing of how the post-Western story will come out.” Smith’s final warning—that “we will not survive the Western notion of the individual much longer”—should resonate today, as nineteenth-century individualism reasserts itself in the degraded Nietzscheanism of Peter Thiel and Stephen Miller." >>

Social cohesion and gritted-teeth tolerance

"In 2022, for the first time in decades, the government commissioned a review of multiculturalism, Towards Fairness. It found Australia had muddled on, but squandered its world-leading status and recommended the government create a minister, a permanent commission and department for multiculturalism. Labor MP Dr Anne Aly was appointed multicultural affairs minister in 2025."

She delivered a powerful speech last November:

"Aly declared it was time to end “the conditional form of multiculturalism, that kind of gritted-teeth tolerance that,

'You are welcome here as long as your food tastes good,

your celebrations are colourful, and

your music is present to the ears.’"

"But any questioning, any speaking out, any disruptive participation in any practice of citizenship will not be tolerated. Instead, acts of citizenship afforded to the broader community are viewed as acts of defiance when performed by the other and are met with cries of, ‘Go back to where you came from,’ and ‘Love Australia or leave it.’ " >>

#ethnonationalism Yair, son of wanted war criminal #Netanyahu, is in #Hungary standing in for his father in support of Viktor Orbán. While his father is busy killing Iranians, his son praised cultural and ethnic homogeneity, linked immigration from #Muslim countries to disorder and terrorism, and celebrated an authoritarian leader who claims to protect national “heritage.” The overlap with themes common to many neo‑Nazi and extreme‑right movements is striking.

[…] "Prime Minister Orbán shows strong leadership at a time in Europe when, sadly, that is very rare. In Western Europe, unfortunately, there are weak leaders who cause their countries to decay. They opened their countries to a flood of migrants from Muslim countries. They brought migrants who do not share the same culture and civilization. That brought a lot of public unrest and disputes imported from the Middle East that are not typical of the local population […] One result of this is terrorism, while Hungary on the other hand, under Orbán's leadership, is safe. There is no terrorism, there is social unity. Everyone shares the same Hungarian heritage and culture, and society is much more peaceful. Prime Minister Orbán has done a wonderful job, and he also defends Hungary's sovereignty vis‑à‑vis the European Union, because many countries in Europe have given up their sovereignty and handed it to unelected officials in Brussels who do not serve their countries' interests — while Orbán puts Hungary's interests first and knows how to oppose Brussels' proposals that are contrary to Hungary's interests."

One thing’s certain about Yair: he spends his time in Miami and has dodged military service while his father started multiple wars (and a genocide).
