The left is playing a very dangerous game by going all-in on open borders. That platform has essentially destroyed the center-left across all of Europe, leading to right-wing populism in every nation, including the complete takeover in places like Hungary and (seemingly) Italy.
Instead of hedging with moderate compromises that would still lead to their potential American hegemony in 15-20 years, they're risking a full backlash that could stall that hegemony for decades.
"Okay," you say, "but total control is total control, whether that's in twenty years or forty."

I don't think so. The more time we have to stall demographics, the more time we have to prove that human biodiversity is real.

And proving HBD kills the progressive left.
Or maybe it allows time for a religious revival, or a nationalist revival, or for all three things to play out.

Going all-in is the mark of four possibilities: you're very confident, you're very aggressive, you think you can bluff, or you know it's your last play.
But I don't think the right can be bluffed anymore.

And I don't think the left should be confident. Not after Trump and Europe.

This is either a move of aggression, or a move of desperation.

Knowing the left, it's probably aggression.
And I like that. Because they're used to being aggressive and always getting their way because of it.

But I think that time is over. If it is, they have no idea how to deal with it.
