The hostility of globalists to borders is a key element of their strategy for elevating authoritarian power beyond the reach of mere voters.
Erase borders, destroy the nation-state, and you sever the last cords of duty and accountability binding the Ruling Class to its people.
Of course there's a lot of money in mass migration, and left-wing parties love importing new welfare-state clients to serve as loyal voting blocs, but the big picture issue is the war against national identity. No nations means zero accountability.
Notice the "how dare you?" tenor of the Ruling Class when it deigns to discuss borders, immigration, citizenship, and migration with the unwashed masses. This is not an issue they think you should have any control over. You should really even be allowed to discuss it.
The Ruling Class has decided migrants have a functionally unlimited "right" to cross national borders. They will very grudgingly pretend to be interested in border security, but every concrete step that would actually IMPROVE security is forbidden and beyond discussion.
If you care about border security, if you think the people of any given country should have something to say about who is allowed in, you must be a greedy racist xenophobe. Terms like "illegal alien" have been forcibly erased from "acceptable" national dialogue.
Now we have the sheer insanity of the Imaginary Whip Hoax, which went from Fake News story to national policy in a couple of days. The Ruling Class feels migrants have a "right" to cross borders, so those who try to enforce our border laws are presumed-guilty villains.
Notice how casually the Ruling Class lies to us about immigration, like pretending there are mass "deportations" when the illegals are really being swept into the country under cover or darkness, untested and unvaccinated. They feel no duty to be honest with you Deplorables.
Migration is simply a decision that has been made FOR you. The opinion of voters is not solicited and is not welcome. A Moral Consensus has been reached by your Betters - and that consensus happily reduces their sense of duty to you, and your control over them.
The same playbook is being run with other issues, most notably pandemic power grabs and climate change, but enforcing the elite consensus on open borders over the objections of the people was a crucial early triumph for authoritarianism.
You are, quite simply, not allowed to vote on this. If you vote for people who try to protect the borders, they will be ruthlessly undermined and sabotaged. Your betters feel absolutely no sense of duty to you on this issue, no compulsion to tell you the truth.
You aren't ALLOWED to hold the Ruling Class accountable for border security. You aren't allowed to assert your identity as the lawful citizen of a nation whose officials are accountable to the people. Many further abuses are flowing from this primal one. /end

Joe Biden's War on the Middle Class - the war American socialism must win, before it can advance to the next stage - is a multi-pronged attack. Here are two of the prongs: reducing the economic freedom of the Middle Class and making it more dependent on government.
Believe me, Biden and his handlers have no intention of bungling the War on the Middle Class like they bungled Afghanistan. They will not retreat an inch, not with final victory in sight thanks to the Wuhan coronavirus. American socialism must defeat the middle class to advance.
How do you defeat the middle class of a huge and prosperous nation? Casting them into abject poverty with one massive economic attack doesn't work, because the middle class combines economic AND political strength - it's why socialists hate and fear them so much.
Has a single piece of false information peddled by major media outlets about the fake "Haitians whipped by Border Patrol" story been labeled as disinformation by our Big Tech overlords? Has a single account been flagged or suspended for spreading it?
This is exactly the kind of propaganda that disinformation labeling SHOULD be used for, if we're going to have it at all. Verifiably false and deliberately misleading posts are being used to attack the American political system and the rule of law.
People are being mercilessly defamed by the false story, and this particular spew of Fake News has a very good chance of getting people injured or killed. It's a textbook example of dangerous disinformation. Aggressive flagging and banning by Big Tech would help slow it down.
Interesting coda to the marriage wars: there's no longer much doubt that declining birth rates are closely linked to the decline of traditional marriage. That's not how it was "supposed" to work, according to all the fashionable social theories.
We could argue over the timing of cause and effect: did traditional marriage lose its appeal because marriage was redefined, or did it become politically possible to redefine marriage because it had lost much of its power and appeal among young people?
But whatever the root causes, the results are undeniable. After decades of mad-scientist social tinkering, we've got studies piling up that prove what our grandparents knew all along. It turns out that tradition and common sense were right after all.
Milley's treason is a landmark in the evolution of the Great Reset, which began with the formation of the Deep State: the notion that a sizable amount of government power must be protected from voters. As I like to say: Democracy rebooted with an authoritarian core.
The totalitarian Left passionately believes there should be an elite core of government bureaucrats, with correct ideology and Party credentials, who are not subject to the whims of voters. There are issues of such importance that idiot voters cannot be allowed to interfere.
Of course, that list of issues that should not be subject to the will of the American electorate grows longer all the time. The Great Reset is a whole new political operating system, not one of the authoritarian patches the Left has been uploading every few years.
Vaccination rates were damaged in the long run by misleading people into thinking the vaccines prevent coronavirus transmission, rather than reducing the severity of infection. (Yes, that impression was definitely given, no matter how much revisionists claim nobody ever said it.)
Overselling the vaccines goosed inoculations early on, making for some nice headlines, but in the long run it hindered the effort, because it gave the public more reason to distrust the authorities and question the value of vaccination.
It was profoundly demoralizing to be told, "Never mind, we're still in permanent panic mode, we'll still have restrictions, you still have to wear masks, this will probably never be over." Earlier this year, everyone up to Biden was pushing vaccines as the ticket to normal life.
If you're applauding someone losing their job because they privately expressed a political idea you disagree with, you are either implicitly conceding that YOU could be punished the same way by those who disagree with you... or you are a totalitarian and flirting with fascism.
Imagine what would happen if a company fired someone because they privately expressed support for the transsexual agenda, and some of the company's business partners complained. The howls of Hitlerism would be deafening, the repercussions severe. Government would step in.
The correct term for a system in which only political views in line with the ruling party's ideology can be expressed without fear of punishment is totalitarianism. If corporate muscle is employed by the ruling party to punish dissidents outside the law, it is fascism.
