How in the world did a man like Carney win?
Ahnaf Ibn Qais has insightful reflections on Canada's energetic populism and the recent disappointing election results. One of the world's most dangerous and authoritarian globalists won.
"The rebellion was real. The grievances were raw.
But populism offered only noise, not structure.
It demolished consensus, but failed to build a replacement.
It is now clear: what populism mistook for revolt was merely ritual.
What it saw as revolution was therapy.
The populists screamed; the system listened — & then promptly resumed.
The populist moment left no monuments.
No institutions. No ideology. No personnel.
Only memes, martyrs, & market shocks.
Their legacy was not transformation, but catharsis.
Their language was one of negation.
Their tactic: disruption without direction.
When the emotion faded, the vacuum returned.
& into that vacuum stepped Carney.
He is not loved, but he is accepted.
Not visionary, but competent.
He does not promise a better world — only a smoother one.
His election marks not a triumph of ideas, but of institutional inertia.
He is the immune system made flesh — absorbing threats, neutralizing risk, restoring order.
No need to crush the populists. They exhausted themselves.
The system didn’t win. It simply waited.
Populism’s fatal flaw wasn’t rage — it was emptiness.
Behind the slogans were no structures.
Behind the heroes, no administrators.
Carney didn’t defeat populism — he outlasted it.
He is not the future. He is the end of a sentence.
He stands not atop a new epoch, but amidst the ash of a failed revolt.
No flags. No manifestos. No exit plan.
Just risk-managed politics for a demoralized population.
He is the undertaker. And the West, embalmed in its own regulations, politely lowers itself into the ground."
...there was a sober silence in the room. Samuel Adams, a key figure in the American Revolution and a signer of the Declaration of Independence, spoke up to say,
“We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His kingdom come.”
Colonel Douglas MacGregor predicts a continuation of the Iran war soon, once all sides have replenished missile stocks.
"Washington’s political class manifests much less regard for the long-term strategic interests of its own citizens—their security and prosperity. As a result, Washington pays an exorbitant price in reputation and treasure for policies that confront Palestinians with the choice of death or expulsion from their homelands.
"Assumptions of tacit acceptance or rapid capitulation are implicit and dangerous.
[The Muslims will not 'do a deal.']
"When Hitler was briefed on the expected Soviet reaction to Operation Barbarossa, Major General Ernst Koestring, a Prussian officer fluent in Russian from a family that had lived in Moscow since the reign of Catherine the Great, advised: “Initially, German forces will advance rapidly. The various peoples on the Soviet periphery will likely welcome the German forces. Resistance will be weak. But when the Germans advance into ...
