Australia's MAGA

May 12, 2026

The seemingly unstoppable rise of the far right in Australian politics is a simply a pale reflection of what is happening around the Western world. As that world passes its zenith and heads unequivocally for its nadir it is time for reflection by those capable of doing so. The ride up the empire’s rise was for many an enjoyable experience with growing living standards, a feeling of exuberance that we Caucasians were the pinnacle of human achievement and a belief, as with every single empire before us that we were “indispensable” and that our empire would last forever.

It’s rapidly increasing fall is not such an enjoyable experience and has brought out our darker side as living standards fall, recognition emerges even amongst the “bewildered herd”, that something is badly amiss and that the mainstream political parties have no answer for it. That is fertile ground for the emergence of putative leaders who produce simple “solutions” that prey upon fears and underlying prejudices that in better times remain below the surface. Trump is the apotheosis of that in the US and Hanson follows that script precisely. Both simply accelerate the civilizational decline!!
