Leave a Comment / Foundations of Propaganda Since the Enlightenment, liberalism and the scientific method have developed side by side, helping humanity achieve unprecedented levels of technology, freedom, and progress. Each, in its own way, has strengthened the other. And today, as the world once again finds itself in a period of profound turbulence, we would do […]

This is the second post in a short series that maps the ideological landscape of Islamism and explains how it has influenced Western politics over the past few decades to provide context for anyone trying to understand today’s political landscape in the West—with its growing internal tensions, cultural conflicts, and ideological battles. And of course, this discussion

In his famous article “The Clash of Civilizations?”, Samuel P. Huntington predicted much of the world we see today—a world increasingly shaped by deep civilizational tensions and inevitable clashes. The world that we must understand if we want to ensure a future for our children This is my first post in a short series that

Only the blind cannot see that the old world order has collapsed. Even politicians now admit it. At the recent Munich Security Conference, the German chancellor openly said: “I fear we must put it even more bluntly: this order—imperfect even at its best—no longer exists in that form” But the real questions are different: What exactly

Every day, people in the West wake up, go to work, take care of their children, and run from one task to another. Life feels stable and familiar. Because of this, many believe that this is how things have always been and always will be, and that the dangers we sometimes hear about are just

In my previous post, I reviewed the main political ideas shaping today’s West (Europe and North America). What stands out is that none of these ideologies focuses on strengthening Western societies from within using liberal values. If an ideology is liberal, it usually focuses on spreading liberalism outward in different ways. If it’s not liberal, then

Yet
The Western Coalition: Current Options and Visions Read More »
For more than a century, people have tried to build a democratic alliance — a kind of confederation of free nations, or what you might call a “league of nations.” But this attempt, in its second edition, better known as the UN, which sought to include every nation in the world, has failed tremendously. The
From Nations to Supranational Union: The Quest for a Western Coalition Read More »
The world is changing, and pressure on the Western democratizes is increasing. Challenges from China, Russia, Iran, and others determined to compete for global resource distribution—by any means necessary, including open warfare—combined with Europe’s declining population and struggles with immigrant integration, all call for a new ideas and new approach. The only question is, what
