The Left-liberal Rāj strikes back; the “Woke Right” and the Mandalization of America ⭐
Table of Contents
1. The Left-liberal Rāj strikes back
Spelled out my reasoning for why I believe The Liberal Rāj strikes back is inevitable, and betting against this is like saying “economic growth is over! GDP is in decline” every time there’s a recession:
Elon Musk converting to Rightism + the 10/7 shock for Jewish elite in America did set them back, but:
1.1. vibeshift overrated
this “vibe-shift” is heavily overrated on Twitter. Every sample of techbros (the demographic that is said to be driving the vibe-shift) I have seen—especially young ones just coming out of university—is still overwhelmingly leftist, just maybe somewhat less motivated or more tolerant of the right.
We don’t see it much on Twitter because a lot of them (especially academic types) have actually shifted to bluesky.
1.2. बुड्ढा होगा तेरा जू
Jewish elite shifting has limited impact long-run because Jewish elite is old. Ashkenazis are not at all overrepresented among the young elite (Indian-Americans will be much more influential, so most of all it is them who we need to influence)
1.3. anti-semitism
They have completely squandered whatever gains they have made with Jews, by embracing deranged anti-semitism (from int’l Muslim audiences and Qatari agents) online.
1.4. woke right
“Young men have shifted toward Trump” is an extremely nuanced phenomenon. If you survey these guys, you will see they love Luigi Mango, hate Israel, dislike capitalism, and believe in stupid left-inspired memes about corporations, nature, federal lands.
The only thing that makes them “right-wing” is that they dislike left-wing wokeness and are a bit racist. They are, essentially, the “Woke Right”.
People who laugh at the left’s attempts to “win back young men” ARE HUBRISTIC MORONS. The left is RELENTLESSLY TRYING, they will eventually find something that sticks, and once it does they will all coalesce behind that line of attack, and it will work, because none of these “young men vote for Trump” have a coherent, genuinely original right-wing ideology.
I said this on Feb 5:
Leftist protests against Musk are very interesting.
It took them some time to figure out the best angle, but once they did, everyone immediately recognized and mass-adopted it.
OTOH RW has a lot of bright ideas but have no ability to discern them from the 99% slop.
and Mar 20:
It keeps going. “Musk-Trump fallout” angle failed so now they’re doing terrorism.
This is one of the greatest strengths of the left: relentlessly trying every angle of attack, honestly evaluating how well it worked, until something breaks through.
1.5. Demographic change
Demographic change. Jātitvization of America is inevitable. The Emerging Democratic Majority is real — it’s just that it will happen via Overton window shifts and Republicans becoming woke right, rather than straightforward Democratic one-party rule.
1.6. MAGA brand ruined for smart people
Things like tariffs, Qatari bribes, RFK Jr has made the MAGA brand absolutely radioactive to smart people. Even I have become completely unable to defend this administration even though I know it is objectively better than having Leftists in power.
The new starry-eyed Tech right and Jewish right wingers are going to keep their tongues tied until 2028 then completely abandon this plank. Won’t gain any favor with Indian-Americans either.
The future of the Republicn Party is Woke Right. JD Vance sees this and subtly keeps signalling to them.
1.7. self-destruction out of overconfidence
A year ago, US RWs would’ve been pushing this point hard as well.
Trump win has made them vastly overconfident to burn all bridges and go after all the RealEnemies™ (other/foreign RWs).
Libs laying low and letting them think they’ve won & self-destruct has worked out for them.
1.8. invaders vs conquerors
I’m learning that having highly-ideological leaders is important.
When a barbarian rampages through the institutions, power will be bought and new institutions will be written/bought by those with a combination of wealth, ideological conviction and talent (for knowledge in some fundamental technical sense cannot be bought).
There is only one group that has all three of these, and that is Left-liberals.
1.9. All who go against the priest-king, perish
Finally, as I said earlier:
As Maharāṣṭra was divinely ordained to be the nation that would overthrow the Mughal Raj, India is divinely ordained to be the nation that will overthrow the Liberal Raj.
Any RW movement that doesn’t co-operate with us is non-serious bhōsaḍpillers, and is doomed to fail.
2. Mandalization of America
Long run, the rise of the Woke Right will be seen not as an uprising against the Left-liberal Raj, but as a Mandal-ization of America.
Rural/blue-collar Whites & Hispanics taking their place as “OBCs” in the oppression pyramid, and doing dumb things like allying with Muslims.
-—
A plausible outcome of the woke right dynamics is that America ends up like our caste coalition dynamics. I.e. white nationalism will no longer be “right-wing” but more like OBCs demanding their share of the pie.
The thing preventing that so far is that the left has historically hated whites more than Jews/Indians/Asians, but with the arrival of Islam (with their singular hatred for Jews/Indians + mutual willingness to court the woke right) this may all change.
-—
“Non-woke Left” would actually be a better term than Woke Right.
Leftist economics, envy-driven racial grievance politics, alliance with Muslims (both via online audience capture & open Qatari funding), an amusingly multiracial coalition but without the feminine-coded wokeness.
3. Genghis Khan
good analogy courtesy of @ShazCoder: Trump might be to Leftism what Genghis Khan was to Islam: dealt a severe blow to its initial expansion, but left in the middle to settle scores with some internal scores, and the successor adopted the religion of the conquered leading to the third wave of its expansion.
