Semafor: Nationalists Consolidate U.S. Right – With One Small Crack

Yoram Hazony is right.

Israel is like the turd in the MAGA punchbowl.

Semafor:

“The first National Conservatism conferences drew students and intellectuals who felt marginalized by the Republican Party and dreamed about taking power. This year, the power came to them.

The president’s border czar promised to “make Chicago safe again” using federal troops. President Donald Trump’s budget director celebrated the dismantling of “the woke, weaponized administrative state,” like a Government Accountability Office that “shouldn’t exist.” The head of the civil rights division at Trump’s Justice Department told a dinner crowd that her office, once “the last bastion of the left,” was now a battering ram against “woke extremists” in universities and blue states.

“When the next group of elites comes to demand we stop protecting fairness in hiring, confidence in our elections, safety in girls sports, we’re going to answer them the same way that Leonidas answered on the eve of the Battle of Thermopylae: Molon labe,” said Harmeet Dhillon. “Come and take it.”

There was one exception to the pro-Trump elation on the nationalist right, a possible future sore point that conference organizer Yoram Hazony acknowledged openly: Israel. …

Hazony was upset by the “depth of the slander of Jews as a people” that he saw in corners of the online right. The Israel critics in their fold could make the nationalist “revolution consume itself,” he added, and risk everything. …”

I’m sick of “Trump” and “Israel” dominating my newsfeed.

I can feel my productivity and interest in politics sliding off a cliff. It has taken a nosedive over the summer. It never recovered from the Iran strike and has waned over the last month.

As I have said in recent interviews, the Trump administration is doing good things in a lot of areas. The border is relatively secure. Trade deficits are being addressed. There is an ongoing federal crackdown on black crime. Anti-white discrimination has been scaled back in a lot of ways.

Every single day though that I log on though to check the news “Jews” and “Israel” are dominating the conversation whether it is pagans bashing Christianity for being Jewish or Nick Fuentes has said this or that or the Trump administration is planning to do Gaz-a-Lago for Israel or Netanyahu has said you can’t be MAGA and anti-Israel. I would rather just tune out and work on my house or yard.

I’m not sure who else feels this way. I think the Trump administration has been successful in some ways like on the border, but it has been hijacked by MIGA and Israel and their maximalist demands. At the same time, I don’t see any alternative to it. The whole thing has been spoiled and is unsatisfying.

  1. You won’t be so sanguine about the Nationalized Police Force Trump is building when Newsom controls it and it comes to your Alabama town and county.

  2. I feel that way as well. I’ve distanced myself from it all. I enjoy being outside and spending time working in the yard and with my family. Agree, I don’t see an alternative.

  3. It doesn’t matter what Wallace and the Dissident MAGA Right wants – it’s full-on MIGA for the next 3.5 years and White working-class and middle-class Americans might get a few scraps off the oligarchs’ plates in the meantime.
    Slightly off-topic but still on-topic – that little shit-stirrer and pain-in-Bibi’s ass Greta Thurnberg’s Gaza relief flotillas are getting larger. Who could have imagined that with all of the Far Right Big Talking Twitter Spergs out there that a 105lb autistic Swedish girl would be taking action and doing some of the most damage to Israel’s well-oiled PR machine.

    • Oh, those whites are going to get a lot less than scraps off the plate. Trump’s tariffs are actually a giant sales tax. That was his secret mission; to replace a progressive income tax with a regressive sales tax to crush whites even more. The whole thing about “rebuilding manufacturing” is a complete lie for the proles who thought they were going to get something out of this raw deal. It was always about doing a national sales tax, which was also always part of the GOP’s agenda of downward mobility.

      Trump was never an outsider. He was never against the GOP. He was never against RINOS or traditional Republicans or Cuckservatives, whatever you want to call them, he was always only a turbocharged version of their idiocy. Trump is worse than Mitt Romney, George W Bush, and John McCain combined.

  4. I reported Daryl Lamont Jenkins’ account on Instagram and After several months they removed it, at least from what I understand.
    I hope this news will improve your day.

  5. Go state and local

    Oppose Hollywood and the Ivy League and my Alma mater Stern New York University MBA . Oppose these bad anti White institutions – no need to openly call them “ Jews” – lots and lots if dot Indians , LGBT anti White anti native born males like us – start putting out the truth that Hollywood , the Ivy League , MSNBC ( forgot the new name ) New York Times , Jew York Times , Blackrock are bad because of who they are , not because they are “ liberals “

  6. Trump sucks and has done nothing good. We are in the worst economy of our lives with relentless inflation thanks to the tariffs from Trump 1.0, compounded by COVID, Ukraine, and Gaza, all of which Trump supports, and now the illegal tariffs of Trump 2.0.

    All the GOP can do is hide behind the mythical 29 year old videogame basement dweller demographic who are supposedly collapsing medicaid, while they push hackneyed trickle-down white flight claptrap. Screw Zognald and all the cuckservatives who even think about supporting this orange turd!

  7. This is a fight that we must have, and this is a fight that we must win.

    MTG and Thomas Massie need to win against their primary challengers convincingly, and Randy Fine needs to lose to his primary challenger convincingly.

    Conservative and nationalist sites which are genuinely America first need to see their views, subscriptions and likes go up. Israel first sites need to see their views, likes and subscriptions tank.

    America first comments need to be up-voted. Israel first comments need to be challenged with intelligent responses.

    We need to warn European nationalist movements not to let the Zionists hijack their parties.

    (Yoram Hazony forever sullied his own good name when he barred Peter Brimelow from his conference.)

    • @Wu,

      “We need to warn European nationalist movements not to let the Zionists hijack their parties.”

      Dude, I long ago informed all you A.S.Spergers that the European nationalist parties long ago put aside Anti-Semitism dumb phuckery and allied with right leaning Israeli nationalist parties. The European left went apoplectic cuz they lost one of their chief weapons to demonize and depress their right-wing opponents. The European right has been going victory to victory ever since while Hunter helped wind up CoCC, League of the South, Alt-Right, etc.

      Better still, nearly 25 years ago, thanks to our advice, Netenyahu went on a crusade to unite the Israeli right, smash fhe Israeli left and take a stand against the Left, ranging from Blair to Clinton. The result was the Left lost its Israeli support the Right gained it and the Left has been in decline ever since.

      The European right-wing parties aren’t about to appease you and begin Anti-Zionism again. Instead, politicians like Gert Wilders have made allying with Israel and using its policies to promote a platform, such as naming the Moslem and castrating Sand N@ggers who rape Dutch girls. We can look forward to Hunter breathlessly posting article after article about Dutch baddies castrating Hamas Rape gangs and being an Israeli First Dutch last government.

      You and Hunter dont know about all these developments because you are neo-Isolationists. Plus, for you Gert isnt a Pope butt kisser, so he must be marginalized regardless. OD is almost hopelessly obsolete and irrelevent cuz you guys spend all your time reading and writing about Zionist baddies and Papo-Nazi good guys. It’s not even effective controlled opposition operating.

        The one component of the European Right is that not a single European in Europe can or will be drafted to supply boots on the ground to invade and occupy Iran to effect regime change. In their shoes, I would be a big-time Islamophobic Pro-Zionist as well.

        FYI any “Anti-Semitism” or “Anti-Zionism” from this country’s right-wing, especially young men who are of draft age is the very real and justified suspicion that Benjamin Netanyahu isn’t going to stop until he drags the United States into attempting another doomed-to-failure, pro-Israeli regime change by using American boots on the ground to invade and occupy a draft.

        A move, I might add, would necessitate resurrecting an Involuntary Military Conscription that had ended over fifty years ago! One that would now include young women. Let me remind you – because you have obviously forgotten – that Douglas Mackey AKA Ricky Vaughn – got in bigtime legal trouble for not only his vote by tweet dirty tricks against Hillary Clinton in 2016, but especially for his Draft Our Daughters memes implying that Hillary would, indeed draft women for Israel. THAT is how opposed Americans ALL along the political spectrum are to resurrecting a draft which amassed thousands of American military casualties in Korea and Vietnam.

        I don’t have to hate Jews whom I don’t particularly care much about one way or the other or love Arabs to be opposed to getting dragged into regime change for Iran.

        I am militantly neutral. To the point that IF I were in charge of the USA, I would outlaw any demonstrations with draconian fines and long prison sentences against any involved in engaging in demonstrations with foreign flags be it Mexico’s, Ukraine’s, Palestine’s OR Israel’s.

        Your biggest problem is NOT “Anti-Semitism” or “Anti-Zionism;” it’s a certain Israeli Prime Minister who should have had enough common sense to accept that the Israelis no longer wanted his leadership. Nothing screams rejection louder than having a bunch of corruption charges hanging over one’s head while one is campaigning.

        Oh, you can say that Trump faced the same issues from the Democrats and their partisan press accomplices, but unlike Trump, there was no ideological daylight between Netanyahu and his opposition where it came to promoting Israel’s interests. NO likelihood that any of Netanyahu’s opposition were compromised Manchurian candidates who could jeopardize Israel.

        Had Netanyahu had the common-sense to give up his candidacy in exchange for those nasty charges going away and the grace to bow off the stage to a heroic farewell instead of, I suspect, allowing October 7th to happen in order to unify Israel behind his leadership, Israel wouldn’t be bombing the Gazans to smithereens all over the media providing Hamas with all the visuals they need to share globally to effect its Free Palestine Propaganda.

        Not interested enough in this Israeli-Palestinian Semitic Family Squabble to want to engage with or take either side, but if a picture paints a thousand words, that doesn’t mean it paints the truth.

        Take the case of the picture depicting a South Vietnamese police chief taking his pistol and blowing the brains of a Viet Cong captain on the street. The police chief was a big burly guy. The Viet Cong was a skinny young guy. Of course, the Viet Cong was sanctified as a martyred freedom fighter and the police chief as his corrupt oppressor. The context that was lost was that the Viet Cong had just participated in the butchery of an innocent South Vietnamese family.

        No one saw Israeli women being raped and Israeli babies being beheaded by Hamas. EVERYONE is watching the elderly, the women, and small children being buried alive or crushed to death by buildings that are being shelled by Israeli artillery even as they attempt to get food and water from any aid trucks that come in.

        In any case, Israel’s problem isn’t a bunch of Anti-Semites or Anti-Zionists with no power to effect ANY American policy followed by a Congress who has either been bribed or blackmailed or both into doing everything their “AIPAC Guy” orders them to do.

        Israel’s problem is America’s problem; a gerontocracy who is far too loath to cede power to its younger citizens even if it would benefit the country in the long run.
        Netanyahu is so played out that he is regenerating the same lies to gin up an invasion of Iran that he did for Iraq. He’s the little boy who cried wolf too many times and in doing so, he has greatly hamstrung his country.

        I don’t give a flying flip how Israelis deal with Netanyahu or Hamas, for that matter, as long as it DOESN’T involve shipping more Arabs into the West and DRAFTING Americans to supply the boots on the ground to effect “regime change” in Iran.

        • The Israel Lobby causes the same problems in Europe as in America.

          Germany pays more per capita in foreign aid to Israel than America does.

          Britain is actively involved in the Gaza war (surveillance flights over Gaza, bombing Yemen, intercepting Iranian missiles, and covert special forces operations). British taxpayer dollars are being spent, and the lives of British servicemen are being risked, for the benefit of Israel.

          The Israel Lobby wars directly contribute to the immigration problem in Europe. Before he was overthrown in a NATO regime change operation, Qaddafi was the front line of defense for Europe against sub-Saharan African illegal immigration. After he was overthrown, Libya became the main conduit for African illegal immigration into Europe via the Mediterranean. Blame Jewish Zionist Bernard-Henri Levy and the French Israel Lobby for that fiasco.

          The Syrian regime change operation provided the pretext for another wave of illegal immigrants into Europe.

          Several members of the Knesset have publicly stated that the entire population of Gaza should be expelled and sent to Europe and America as refugees.

          The problem goes way beyond Netanyahu. EVERY Israeli politician will destabilize the Middle East for the benefit of Israel, as long as Americans and Europeans are willing to pay Israel’s bills and fight Israel’s battles.

          To secure peace in the Middle East, America and Germany must stop paying Israel’s bills. America, Britain and France must stop fighting Israel’s battles.

          As Americans, we don’t want to waste our money and risk the lives of our servicemen for the benefit of Israel.

          As Whites, we don’t want to flood our own nation and Europe with refugees for the benefit of Israel.

          As Christians, we don’t want to help Israel destroy the world’s oldest church in the region where Christianity originated.

          As human beings, we don’t want to help Jews inflict sadistic torment on helpless victims.

          For all these reasons, America, Germany, Britain and France should stop giving our tax money to Israel, and stop fighting wars at their behest.

          Real patriots don’t take orders from the Israel Lobby.

        • @Clytemnestra,

          Pretty good cogent reply. I will reply to some points later when I have more time. But, I will start and say I support military training conscription of all eligible, physically and mentally American men between the ages of 16-56 followed by mandatory militia and reserve service for up to 20 years. I dont support conscription of such men for overseas wars, only for self defense in the US. I have long promoted this within US policy circles and it WILL happen. Starting with stop loss then going to recall of discharged service members, until finally going to full Conscription. Given the array of forces from 7,000,000,000 people mostly from nations and powers hostile to the US government it will be the only way to survive, a type of vast Fortress America Switzerland style. The same holds true for Europe. Finland has it. Poland has already brought back Conscription, Greece is readying it, Germany and Sweden arr preparing to do it, other Nation-State governments will soon follow. You can thank Putin for putting the military back into NATO.

          As to the rest of your neutralist neoisolationist pascifism, it is child like and holds no validity in the real world we now face. It will be steam rolled over in the future and perhaps you and others here will be conscripted. In fact, one time when Richard Spencer and others of his entourage at a conference were bragging about war, I told them I personally see to it they would be constructed, so better be careful what they asked for. I will do the same here. I am going to personally bring Hunter to tbe local draft board and ensure he is conscripted. Its my duty as a family kinsman, from a long military family line, a Southerner, and knowing its what Hunter needs. I’ll do it grabbing him kicking and screaming into being a proper soldier even if it means we both get steam rolled like Private Williams and his sergeant by hordes of Fuzzy Wuzzies, Sand N@ggers, Wetbacks, and Mongols as we defend his favorite fishing hole near Eufala, Alabama.

          • You like to name drop and speak of conferences. Nothing is done at these conferences. I’ve been and most of the people are just IRL weirdos. Socially awkward keyboard warriors who think they are part of some movement. There is no movement. It’s all infiltrated and controlled opposition. Your father is the father of lies, AGB.

        • > I don’t give a flying flip how Israelis deal with Netanyahu or Hamas, for that matter, as long as it DOESN’T involve shipping more Arabs into the West and DRAFTING Americans to supply the boots on the ground to effect “regime change” in Iran.

          The thing you’re missing here is that with Israel in particular and jews in general, the so-called “left” and the so-called “right” shout and make much noise while working hand-in-glove ceaselessly to subvert, undermine, destroy and exterminate all white gentile (formerly Christian) countries.

          As you already noted, the Knesset is already demanding that the Gaza population be resettled in Europe, and every single jewish and jewish-funded group (including many so-called “churches”) have been busy importing the Syrians displaced by Satanyahoo’s campaigns there for over a decade. Meanwhile Satanyahoo’s step-n-fetchit Cheetohead the Clown is planning to entertain the latest head-chopper now magically transformed into the a knight of “liberal democracy” at the White House. All EUSSR regimes are controlled by jews. They’ll start drafting their serfs and send them to join the retarded Murikans to invade Iran whenever Satanyahoo issues the order to do so.

  8. It is kid of obvious where this is going and everyone should be aware of it and try to avoid yet another jew moral trap. Say what every the hell you want to say about the jews, but that innocent jew walking down the street, remember he didn’t do a goddamned thing to you and he has a right to live in peace just like the rest of us. The difference between us and them is we do not harm the innocent and they do. It is what makes us white supremacists supreme.

  9. I find it ridiculous that Harmeet Dhillon, a brown India born street-you-know-what, is trying to rally White conservatives by quoting Leonidas. Has it really come to that? Totally cringe. The Republican party is simply a caricature of conservatism.

  10. Trump Dos has far exceeded my expectations, and indeed has achieved many things I was certain I’d never see in my lifetime. Border crossings down to zero, Activism Inc dismantled, the universities and liberal media crushed, federal troops clearing the capital of black criminals and vagrants, drug cartels being hunted down and killed Bin Laden style, a gym bro in charge of HHS.

    The three big disappointments are Israel, big business monopolies running wild over the US economy, and Trump making enemies of basically the entire world. But let’s not lose perspective, the changes we’ve seen and the centrality of our ideas and concerns represents a massive, historic shift in our favor.

  11. I was driving down the interstate recently and saw a billboard that said something to the effect of “it shouldn’t require armed security to be Jewish and go to college (paid for by the Jewish blah blah council blah blah)”
    I take that as a good sign of where things stand. Highway billboards are for ambulance chaser attorneys and STD awareness campaigns. Injury attorneys/STDs/whiney Jews playing the victim. Fitting trio.

  12. “Israel is like the turd in the MAGA punchbowl”

    So very true.

    In a larger sense,
    Israel is like the turd in the punchbowl of civilization.

  13. James is a likeable American with background knowledge of communist “East Germany” (actually Central Germany). How he came to this is unknown, as is his surname. He describes himself as a “Germanophile”, which does not mean an interest in the Third Reich. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06Yz9YiXKfk

    In the video, he also refers to another American with the (possibly Romanian) surname Zeihan, who predicts the economic (and, in the next 100 years, ethnic) downfall of Germany. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmEhTFjQB1g

    Well, that is not difficult to predict, unless the miracle happens that Germany frees itself from its American dependency, drastically changes its migration policy and realigns its energy policy with Russia, which is unlikely in all three areas.

    Whether Zeihan is just one of the countless doom prophets of who are usually booming in times of crisis cannot be known by anyone who does not have the gift of clairvoyance into the future. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Zeihan

    Zeihan’s historical and geopolitical assessment.

  14. One cannot be “right” / MAGA / nationalist / American and support the antiChrist jew or the falsely labeled ‘nation’ of “israel”. Period.

  15. This site is becoming a comical Democrat echo chamber. Very little is said thay is different from when AOC’s A.S.Sperg Staffers meet at the local watering hole.

    • OK, I’ll say some things that AOC would never say:

      ALL illegal immigrants must be deported.
      We need a moratorium on legal immigration.
      We should encourage the re-migration of unassimilable legal immigrants.

      ALL military foreign aid, including “defensive” military foreign aid for Israel, needs to be stopped. (MTG and Thomas Massie voted against “defensive” military foreign aid for Israel, but AOC voted for it. I guess YOU are closer to AOC on that issue than I am.)

    • I’m sorry your hero turned out to be nothing other than Bibi’s butler and errand boy, and a big time liar and flip-flopper. Pretty comical to watch him try to make the Jewffrey Epstein scandal disappear. A “Democrat Hoax”. What a pathetic clown. Acting like this only makes people more suspicious.

      • Correction…Netanyahu is Ashkenazi Globalist Troll’s hero, not Trump. Trump is just another useful, and apparently compromised, idiot for his tribe.

        • Bibi is pretty cool. Comes from a good fighting family. Literally was a veteran of counter-terrorism operations. He is very familiar with American and British society. As a result he was very amenable to helping change Israeli political policy from anti-Rightwing nationalism to pro-Rightwing Nationalism and helped purge many Pro-Israeli affiliated in Europe and the US of Lefties. Which is why your folk dont like him.

          • @Aryan Globalist Bro:

            Bibi USED to be pretty cool. I liked the way he used to present himself much better than his predecessor, Ariel Sharon. He was charming, articulate, nice voice, and easy on the eyes when he was younger.

            His BROTHER died, rescuing the Jewish hostages at Entebbe, but BIBI who COULD have set the heroic example by resigning since October 7th DID happen on his watch, donning the uniform and fighting side by side with the rest of his IDF forces chose to lead from behind by dragging the USA into regime change with Iran. HMMMM.

            Anyhow, it seems Bibi is more attached to his own skin than his Bro was. Really a pity, because he strikes me as cagey enough to find himself a safe spot even in the IDF. Doing so would have greatly rehabilitated his image with, at least, his poor Israeli constituency.

            He could have dined off his heroics to the bitter end so that he could leverage his rehabilitation to a cushy Ambassadorial position to some safe country in the West or even the United Nations.

            In any case, his lust for power has so blinded him that he has really hamstrung not only Israel but looks to do the same to the Diaspora all over the globe. Their real power is the iron hand in the velvet glove, the man behind the curtain, but good old power-mad Bibi has yanked open that curtain for all the world to see – even those who tightly shut their eyes and resolutely stopped up their ears.

      • Yes, it’s been humorous to see how many Magatards fell for Cheetohead’s replay of the old ‘Jedi mind trick’ about his pal (and AGB’s hero) Epstein: “These aren’t the pedophiles you’re looking for, move along”.

        • @Exalted Cyclops,

          The whole Trump I was a pedophile with Epstein schtick is just another Russianhoax. You democrats never give up, even when no one believes you anymore.

    • AOC et al were put into the congress to spout those very views so as to subconsciously discredit them with America’s founding Sovereign’s of Dixie (https://archive.org/details/nationalconstitutionalismarchive) so that they would be willing (christian nationalists, (WTF is that anyway?) dupes of following the “second coming’” of the King of the Jews” global totalitarian and communistic monarchism (Revelations 19:15) against their own sovereignty, their ethno-nation and Republic’s!

  16. There isn’t anything childish or unrealistic about what I’m saying. Today’s youth are not the children of the men who defeated Hirohito and Hitler; They are the grandsons of Vietnam veterans and younger brothers of veterans of the Iraq War Netanyahu instigated.

    By all means, Reinstate involuntary military conscription. Let’s see how many of today’s youth do their patriotic duty by reporting to their local draft boards.

    Hold your breath, Buddy. I think you’ll look great in blue.

    Here’s a more viable solution for your pal, Netanyahu. Hire mercenaries and pay them well. He has billions of US aid and I imagine that we can take what we know and quadruple that (and that’s a conservative guesstimate) in unaccounted funds with which to pay them.

    It’s a lot cheaper than paying to set up honey traps to blackmail or bribe a Clowngress Critter. Moreover much more discreet.

  17. Wow: This is today’s British “culture,” but it has reached this level throughout the West. Many Westerners increasingly consider this content to be “normal.” But what is the real purpose and intention behind this “normalization”? We all have our suspicions (more on that later).

    AI answers my spontaneous intuitive input, which should not remain speculation:

    At first glance, the Canadian English language and the Saxon dialect of German appear to be worlds apart—separated not only by geography but also by linguistic families. Canadian English is a variety of English spoken mainly in Canada, while the Saxon dialect belongs to the German dialect continuum, mainly in parts of eastern Germany. However, beneath the surface, these two forms of speech reveal intriguing similarities and deeper connections that tie them together across linguistic, historical, and geopolitical dimensions.

    One of the most striking linguistic parallels between Canadian English and the Saxon dialect lies in their distinctive phonetics, particularly vowel shifts and prosodic features. Canadian English is known for characteristics like the “Canadian Raising,” where the tongue position alters before voiceless consonants, giving certain diphthongs a unique pronunciation—vowels rise in words like “about” and “price.” It also exhibits mergers such as the “cot-caught” merger, blending vowel sounds that are distinct in other English varieties.

    Similarly, the Saxon dialect features vowel modifications and softened consonants, which make its sound pattern appear melodious and somewhat distinctive within the German linguistic spectrum. These regional vowel shifts and consonantal softening produce a speech rhythm and tonal quality that outsiders often find unusual or charmingly unfamiliar.

    Thus, while the languages belong to different families, the phonological tendencies of distinctive vowel manipulation and prosodic “softness” link Canadian English and Saxon dialect in a manner not evident at first.

    Delving beyond linguistics, the geopolitical and historical intersections between the Saxon region and Canada offer a compelling story. Several waves of German-speaking immigrants, notably from the Saxon-descended Seven Years’ Saxons (Siebenbürger Sachsen), migrated to Canada. These settlers brought with them their language, customs, and identity, establishing vibrant cultural communities that preserve Saxon traditions across Canadian provinces.

    Moreover, the Province of Alberta in Canada embodies a direct historical linkage to Saxony through its naming after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, reflecting historical ties to the Saxon royal lineage. This ties Canadian geography symbolically to Saxony’s heritage.

    Modern times further deepen these connections via official partnerships and cooperations between the Free State of Saxony and Canadian provinces like Alberta. These collaborations foster cultural exchanges, political dialogue, economic cooperation, and educational programs, underscoring a sustained relationship that transcends mere coincidence.

    These intertwined linguistic and historical threads suggest that language variants and dialects do not merely evolve in isolation but often do so within broader socio-historical networks. The linguistic “softness” and vowel dynamics observable in Canadian English and the Saxon dialect may echo ancestral phonetic patterns shaped by Anglo-Saxon and West Germanic roots, thereby hinting at a shared linguistic heritage obscured by centuries.

    Such interconnectedness also speaks to how migration, cultural identity, and geopolitical relationships carry linguistic markers across continents, often preserving ancestral traits in new environments. Both Canadian English and Saxon dialect communities express pride in their language and accent, underscoring the vital role of speech in cultural identity.

    The introduction of an Ahnenpass (ancestor passport) is not to be expected in the near future (and most likely never again), as there is no longer an institution such as the Ahnenerbe (Ancestral Heritage), which is now considered the greatest enemy of progress. AI’s answer to my second question:

    The German words “Ahnen” (ancestors), “ähnlich” (similar), and “ahnen” (to anticipate or sense) present an intriguing linguistic constellation where phonetic similarity conceals distinct etymological origins and meanings. “Ahnen” stems from medieval terms denoting forebears and lineage, deeply embedded in genealogical heritage. “Ähnlich” evolved to express likeness or resemblance, with no genealogical implication. “Ahnen,” in the sense of intuitive sensing or foreboding, encapsulates an experiential perception of the future, highlighting a semantic field linked to intuition rather than ancestry. Although linguistically separate, the thematic overlap around connection—whether through blood, likeness, or foresight—reflects cultural and psychological nuances in how individuals relate to identity, history, and expectation.

    This semantic distinction parallels contemporary ideological debates on European identity and transformation. Advocates of a multicultural and integrated Europe, such as Barbara Lerner-Spectre and Yascha Mounk, articulate visions of societal change by invoking metaphors of transformation, renewal, and inevitability. Spectre’s oft-cited assertion that Europe must embrace multiculturalism or face dissolution, and Mounk’s framing of Europe’s demographic shifts as an “experiment,” underscore a narrative where radical societal change is portrayed as both necessary and unavoidable.

    Critics, however, view these perspectives with suspicion and concern, interpreting them as assertions of ideological imposition that divorce Europeans from their ancestral roots and cultural continuity. The invocation of “Zwangsläufigkeit” (ineluctability) in these narratives is critiqued as a self-fulfilling prophecy, where advocates not only describe but actively accelerate the transformation, often dismissing legitimate anxieties and fostering polarization. This dynamic can be seen as emblematic of a broader cultural struggle where the tension between preservation and change manifests vividly.

    Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi’s vision of a united Europe, foundational to post-war European integration, adds another layer to the discourse. While his Paneuropean movement sought peace and cooperation beyond nationalism, posthumous reinterpretations of his ideas have fueled conspiracy theories portraying an intentional “replacement” or “transformation” of Europe’s peoples. Angela Merkel’s receipt of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Prize, officially honoring her contributions to European unity, is often controversially linked to these theories, though the official rationale emphasizes her work on European integration rather than any agenda of demographic or cultural transformation.

    The rhetoric surrounding these figures and their ideas often echoes dystopian motifs reminiscent of Orwellian paradoxes, such as “destroy Europe to save it.” Such statements provoke unease because they frame disruption and upheaval as prerequisites for survival, challenging traditional understandings of identity and continuity.

    Ultimately, the lexical trio of “Ahnen,” “ähnlich,” and “ahnen” serves as a metaphor for the complex interplay between history, identity, and perception that lies at the heart of contemporary European societal debates. They embody the tension between ancestral heritage and evolving identities, between cultural memory and future aspirations. The discourse on Europe’s transformation is less about linguistic roots than about how societies negotiate meaning, belonging, and change in a globalized world.
