You Will Not Replace Us

Red-Brown hunters, you will presumably be straining every sinew to prevent the election of Joe Biden, endorsed as he has been by Richard Spencer. Of course, insofar as there has ever been anything Red about you, then you have always been the real Red-Browns.

You have cheered on out and proud Nazis in Kosovo, Bosnia, Ukraine, Venezuela, Bolivia, and now Belarus. You have bombed away in support of the nearest thing to the Third Reich since its fall in Kosovo, Bosnia, Iraq, Libya and Syria. You have your eye on Lebanon right now, as ever on the orders of the regime in Saudi Arabia, which is one of the two worst in the world. You side uncritically with Narendra Modi.

You support NATO, which commits us to the defence of Turkish Islamists and of assorted Eastern European neo-Nazis, with more to come, along with Latin American caudillos. NATO was founded in order to annex as much as possible of the territory of, or more-or-less controlled by, a Soviet Union that had shown itself both unwilling and unable to conquer Western Europe in 1945. It has always welcomed any and everyone who shared that objective. The chilling reemergence of the white, red and white triband on the streets of Minsk is only the latest stage in that 70-year process.

Like Spencer, you are fanatically devoted to the cause of the EU, which, since we are still in the Single Market and the Customs Union, subjects us to the legislative will of Spencer's sort, frequently in the Council of Ministers, and permanently in the European Parliament.

And now, you want the next President of the United States to be Strom Thurmond's eulogist, the restorer of the federal death penalty, the father of mass incarceration and of militarised policing, a man who opposed bussing because he did not want his children to grow up in a "racial jungle", a man with a former Attorney General of California as his running mate, and a man who has accordingly been endorsed by the star turn at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.
