@NewCultureForum The so-called "culture wars" are part of the Eastern Alliance's (🇨🇳🇮🇷🇷🇺) war on the West. The Alliance is conducting cultural (DEI, CRT, decolonisation), economic (net zero, ESG), and geopolitical (👇) war against us. The West must wake up or die.

@DCBMEP Brexit boils down to the fundamental question: Do we live in a democracy or in an oligarchy? Do our elected representatives serve us or the wealthy? Mrs May's deal is superficially democratic but essentially oligarchic. A WTO(+) Brexit is now the only democratic way forward.

@NileGardiner @mrmarkdolan Western democratic states are being systematically undermined by the symbiosis of the CCP's "Marxist" totalitarian capitalism and the WEF's "Great Reset" neo-feudalism: a race-based cultural revolution against Whiteness (Western civilisation) combined with Net Zero impoverishment
