Vivek Ramalamaswamabamadingdong has some peculiar ideas of his own.

As it’s our final show of the year, I’d like to keep it a little more focused than usual – and concentrate on the existential question now facing some of the oldest continuous states on earth: what is a nation? At AmFest and in The New York Times, Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy returned to his contention that America is an “idea” and, if you’re onboard with the “idea”, you’re as American as anybody else. One might formulate the “idea” as a “dream”, as Vivek does:

It is called the American Dream for a reason. There is no Canadian Dream. There is no British Dream. It sounds kind of goofy to say it. There’s no Chinese Dream, okay?

There is, however, a Somali Dream – of moving to Minnesota and opening a state-funded daycare.

On the right one can find opponents of all this dreaminess, but Vivek has no time for them and is reading them out of the movement:

I think the idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up. There is no American who is more American than somebody else.

So a Daughter of the American Revolution is no more American than the daughter of a Minneapolis daycare owner. This would come as news to the fellows who wrote the Preamble to the US Constitution in order to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”. Which, oddly, seems to be how the Somali fraudsters look on it, if you substitute “Blessings of Public Funding” for “Liberty”.

One notes that America rose to global dominance during Calvin Coolidge’s four-decade immigration “pause”. Since then, alas, the US has been busy not only “proposition”-ing itself into a one-way ticket on the oblivion express, but exporting that proposition to the rest of the west’s hitherto conventional “ethno”-states (a qualification that should not, strictly, be necessary), to the point where countries no one thinks of as “nations of immigrants” are about to see their native peoples dispossessed of their ancestral homelands – Sweden and Austria, for example.

Meanwhile, in the United Bleephole, Keir Starmer made it his “priority” to bring “back” to the country a “British” “citizen” who had been gaoled in Egypt for the crime of …well, I’ll let Sir Keir, a man entirely without irony or self-awareness, explain it…

Follows, a truly spectacular blast of multiculti Tourettes from Blightey’s all-time worst PM, after which Steyn picks up the thread again.

The “Briton” in question is a man who believes in the “extermination” of white people, which is apparently no obstacle to all the most eminent white people, from beloved “national treasures” – Bill Nighy, from Love Actually; Judi Dench, M from the Bond films; my old Loose Ends colleague Stephen Fry – and all the most deservedly reviled “right-wing” Conservatives – Sir Iain Duncan Smith – demanding he be brought to England to live at public expense.

It would be rather funny, don’t you think, if his “extermination” of white people began with those listed above…but, if it goes as it usually does, I expect he’ll get you instead.

And should you show fight or attempt to resist in any way, you will be bunged into chokey for the duration, after which the entire episode will be whitewashed, swept under the Establishment rug, and studiously forgotten—by the media, by the cops, by the government, by your neighbors,  by pretty much EVERYBODY, really.

This is the round-robin process by which shithole countries become shithole countries, see.

Nope, you’ll bend over and take your medicine without complaint if you know what’s good for ya, chum, or, y’know, else. It’s the same old story, with the same old denouement, namely:

To repeat: in the next decade-and-a-half, there will be nothing recognisable as the western world absent the deportation of tens of millions of people.

And as we all already know, the Western world will just have to grin and bear it, because said mass deportations—although eminently justified, appropriate, lawful, and reasonable—ain’t ever gonna happen. Seriously, people, how could they, when the selfsame maefactors responsible for bringing them in would also be responsible for booting them out?

In the end, we’re left with the same old conundrum, as expressed in another spot-on Steynism which posits that this mishegas isn’t any kind of mistake, misfire, or miscalculation. No, this is how things are because this is how our Lords and Masters WANT them to be. It isn’t merely happening to us; it’s BEING DONE to us—on purpose, with malice aforethought.

Update! Ace has plenty more on the execrable Starmer’s pet “cultural enricher,” and it’s every bit as bad as you’d expect, maybe even worse.

The UK just welcomed back a true Cultural Enricher who had previously been arrested in Egypt.

The UK actively campaigned for his release and his return to England.

The man routinely calls for the murder of Jews and “colonialists” of all kinds as well as for more “suicide bombings” and more murders of police.

He routinely declares how much he hates “white people” and how they, get this, need to be killed and dominated.
Oh and he also declared his intent to “take over ur towns and rape ur women.”

But I mean that’s obviously just a “joke,” as he says now. No Muslim migrants would ever take over British towns or rape British women. Obviously he’s just being satirical or something.

As is his wont, Ace’s mordant wit is astute enough, piercing enough, to incline me to just go ahead and laugh along with him. But in a very real sense, there’s nothing whatsoever funny about the situation.

Updated update! From the last Xweet Ace includes in his post:

NEWS: Egypt are planning to revoke the citizenship of Alaa Abd El-Fattah so he will be stuck in the UK

Sources inside the Egyptian Government have said this is to embarrass Keir Starmer and warn Britain not to pressure Cairo over human rights-related cases in the future

HUH. Kinda interesting, no? Looks like our own perfidious Powers That Be aren’t the only ones working a plan here.
