Ben Shapiro vs. Nick Fuentes: Conservatism inc.
It amazes me that in this day and age people still follow the thoroughly discredited figures of what is colloquially described as conservative inc. Conservative inc, for those unaware, refers to the established bureaucracy surrounding the Republican party and conservatives, the figures which are championed as its proponents, and most importantly, the lobbyists who represent them. A brief summary of what this band of malcontent, ill-purposed, frat boys, trust-fund babies, and grifters have achieved for the American people is nothing -unless, of course you define the American people as the lobbyists and special interests who fund this cancerous bureaucracy. In that case, conservative inc has achieved everything it set out to do: it prioritized capital over labor, which resulted in the mass outsourcing of jobs and the de-industrialization of the country. It adopted a laissez-faire approach to government, which in effect merely granted the left a near monopoly on enforcing their agenda. Lastly of the sins of Conservatism inc. I wish to list; it gutted public education, after ceding to many education reforms of the left, which has effectively rendered the American people unable to compete in an increasingly globalized world.
The election of Donald Trump was a repudiation of this cancer which has infected the conservative movement for the last decades, at least, that was about as much people could hope by virtue of his proposed policies. Donald Trump wanted to terminate the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which would've further harmed American industries. He wanted to end illegal immigration and build a wall along our Mexican border, which would grant relief to blue-collar workers who have long had their wages suppressed by the 30 year influx of illegal immigration. Being that conservative inc exists to serve the donor class, and even despises the Americans Trumps policies appealed to the most, they naturally hated the man. the reviled the man and everything he stood for. This includes people like David French, but most importantly, Ben Shapiro. Shapiro was part of a sub-faction of the Republican party who was hell-bent on insuring that Donald Trump never got into office and that "conservative" orthodoxy, which basically meant bending over backwards to leftists demand all the while giving them a stern talking to, reign supreme.
Many conservatism today will perhaps do not recall this, but Shapiro was one of the chief figures who was part of an internal struggle with Steve Bannon over at the news website Breitbart, where Shapiro was a senior editor. In response to Bannon's promotion of Trump, Shapiro denounced the site as a pro-Trump "pravda site" and attempted to instigate a scandal with former Breitbart journalist Michelle Fields, in which the two of them accused Corey Lewandowski, a member of Trump's team, of assaulting her. Video evidence easily disproved this claim and the Fields-Shapiro hoax, fell squarely on its head, but make no mistake, Shapiro has never stopped resenting either Bannon or Trump.
In fact, Shapiro cheered in approval when Steve Bannon was ousted from the white house and wall-street and neocons effectively took over. While I don't agree completely with Bannon or his methods (he's far too moderate for my tastes) he is a man who truly does seem to believe in what he says; he genuinely seems to want to represent American labor as opposed to international finance. He wasn't a man of the status quo and "business as usual", which is a large reason why the people of flyover country loved him and, consequently, a major reason why I assume Shapiro despised him. Shapiro is not a man of the poeple. Shapiro is the voice of the trust-fund intellectuals whose only contribution to conservatism has been to tfurther the interests of the donor class.
Most unsuspecting conservatives do not see what's coming. Another great purge is underway, whereby those conservatives who stand in the path of the attempt of their elites to further hollow out our country, will summarily denounced, black-balled, character assassination, and excluded from the discussion. Indeed, one Jennifer Rubin, a "conservative" writer for the Washington post has insisted that in the aftermath of Donald Trump and his failed revolution, the Republican party must be "burned down" in order to insure that this never happens again and that the plebs would never again have to much to think. Make no mistake, the supposed "Trump revolution" is a failure, though many people are unable to see it yet. It failed because the establishment is essentially a shock-proof system which exists almost as an organism onto itself, independent of what the public actually wants the political sentiments of the country.
What last night indicated was that Conservatism inc. has successfully hijacked the Trump phenomenon and effectively neutered it of any revolutionary vigor it once had. When you have Congressmen lack Dan Crenshaw, a man who is to the left of Obama circa 2008 on many issues, using terms like "snowflake" and "triggered", which were originally relegated to the far corners of the dissident right, you can be sure that those terms are now effectively useless when it comes to implementing actual change.
Will people eventually reject Shapiro and his co-grifters, which have done much more damage to this country over the last 30 years than dare I say any other event in American history? Who knows. All I know is when it comes to what lays ahead for this country, I will always side with the man who puts America First.
