This tussle for power that seems extraordinarily to center around the Holy Land, its inhabitants.
Have you got a way of handling that? Sure I have a way of handling that.
We're seeing the breakdown of a common story. It's really the World War II story that's breaking
down, and it's breaking down in all kinds of ways. Ways that actually don't care about your
political allegiance. They don't care about whether you're right or left, a conservative,
a liberal, whatever. It's the narrative that's breaking down, and in that moment of chaos,
there's obviously a desire to retell a new story and to find a new story. Israel is the World War
II consensus. It is the incarnation of it, and so all of the contradictions, all of the taboos
of that consensus, all of the ways in which it served us and the way in which it betrayed us
are all contained in that place and in that imagery. And so it's not surprising that that's
the place where the narrative combat is happening. And not just about Israel itself, but the entire
story of the liberal West since World War II and the way in which we advocate for open societies,
that we advocate for diversity, that we advocate for that we are afraid of identity, we're afraid
of nationalism, we're afraid of race, we're afraid of all these categories. And now they're crashing
back, and we don't know how to deal with it, and they're crashing back in all kinds of insane,
wild ways, and we don't know how to manage it. And so you have all of these characters that are
basically yelling at each other and don't understand each other. That's really important,
by the way. You probably saw the Fuentes-Piers Morgan interview that was the last one,
and when you watch it, you realize that these two worlds, they're talking, and they don't
know, they don't understand what's happening on the other side. You know, Piers Morgan doesn't
understand anything about the world of the Groypers. He has no idea. But actually, you're a 27-year-old
dinosaur, aren't you? Aren't you, Nick Fuentes? All women are annoying, all women grow old,
they all get fat. Have you ever had sex? No, absolutely not. Wow. Says the guy who's never
got laid. And therefore he thinks he's doing something, but he's not. And he doesn't know
what's going on, he can't measure the result, and he doesn't know what's happening, because
all of these stories are kind of crashing together right now.
Oh, that's a brilliant bit of analysis, to take it all the way from World War II to Nick Fuentes
and Piers Morgan. It's like the World War II, even though it was of course an incident of conflict,
was in its own paradoxical way a unifying event. It was a unifying event. The great,
it seems, enduring symbol was that Israel is one of the offered up consequences, results,
some would say objectives, of the Second World War. But of course, the total collapse of British
imperialism and colonialism could be another one, and the rise of American imperialism,
one might argue, and of course, communism, Russian Soviet communism.
How can you measure time in the same way in the pre-Gutenberg press era, and now,
when we can simultaneously make a claim, have that claim go around the world, have it debunked,
dismantled, reinstantiated, sects emerging from it. I mean, you can sort of see it happening now.
Once you would have said Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, Joe Rogan, Candace Owens, that's one
thing. Ben Shapiro, one thing. Now that thing, those people you put them in a room, they might
kill each other. It's extraordinary. Time itself is changing. We're living in a different reality,
and as you say, there's not one story that can accommodate, or there is one story that can
accommodate it, but people are denying that story, and it's going to be wild.
So the problem that's coming towards us is that since World War II, and for good reasons,
we've objected to tribal identity, we've objected to racial identity, we've ultimately then moved to
objecting even to family hierarchies, to religious hierarchies, actually to anything
that is kind of identity that stabilizes, and we've moved towards openness and diversity
and difference, this celebration of difference ever since rock and roll, this idea that rebellion
and difference, and you have to show how different you are from everyone else.
All of that is happening, but see, at some point that breaks down. That becomes furries,
and it becomes fetishism, it becomes S&M, it becomes all of these kind of idiosyncratic
ways of being, and that doesn't hold. The world can't hold together. And so the question is,
how do we reintroduce identity into the world without repeating the fascist mistake,
without repeating a kind of absolute identity, right, or a kind of absolute nationalism, or a
all of the problems that started appearing at the beginning of the 20th century,
how can we now reintegrate identity without falling into the problems that we had?
And that's the problem. We don't know how to do it. How do we reintegrate identity
in a manner that doesn't lead us down the dark path that happened in the 20th century?
