Alien enemies
“Men back then simply did not see the Company as we do today. Moral judgement on them is pointless.”
10-mark question: What is the analogous entity today, whose ways are so alien that nationalists do not understand as their competition, but has emerged as the true sovereign?
The answer is, of course, left-liberalism.
RWs constantly underestimate the sheer strength of the Left-Liberal Empire, its absolute control over all the institutions of the world, with silly memes like
“oh they’re just deluded college students, they’ll outgrow it”
“they’re idiots who don’t realize they’re getting played by oil companies/christian missionaries/online racists/landlord farmers/terrorists”
They think of liberals as their rivals only in the narrow domain of winning elections and making policy, not seeing the latter’s desire to (and success at) completely and absolutely control every last aspect of society.
They look at “liberals crying over something trivial” and laugh at it as pathetic, not understanding what this means: that the liberal sees even the slightest bit of unconquered territory as intolerable.
The right-winger thinks the real game of politics is between nations, companies and groups motivated by self-interest. The idea that some “ideology” could be a serious participant in this game sounds like a childish delusion.
Well, those deluded idealistic children grew up, and remade the world in their own image.
Their goals are alien. Their methods are alien. Their behaviour is alien. Much like the Rājās confronted by the East India Company, RWs conclude that this must mean liberals’ goals are orthogonal to their own, and not a direct threat.
Nonetheless their goals require the complete annihilation of your world and all you hold dear. And they have no reason to compromise with you.
