What I find interesting about 2) is that the same acceleration seems to have happened everywhere in the Western world, at right around the same time, strongly suggesting coordination.
That Washington is behind this cannot be doubted. Fortunately the American empire is fading. There's also some prospect of wresting control back in Washington, though Americans will probably have to fight for this.

It is complicated but unprecedented coordination became possible because of cheap air travel, instantaneous communication, the consolidation of a truly transnational ruling class and the convergence of trade, finance and governance. There were also very big incentives at a granular level to buy in to the consensus. The families of senior officials now expect to get seriously rich, so the opportunity cost of bucking the latest trend is keen financial and social frustration.
Coordination within the Anglosphere is very real. Senior officials in the cybernetic core of all Anglo regimes often have US degrees. Or they go on secondment to Washington. The Americanisation of public administration is notable.
Empire not fading at all. It is shrinking. It may be disrupted. But the empires grip on Canada, Australia and key portions of Latin America remains very tight indeed. A successor empire to the GAE may be worse than the one we already have.
It may be worse, yes. But it may also be our salvation. I've written before about transforming this into a global Anglo civilization-state тАж shedding universalist pretensions тАж total change in leadership necessary of course.
If change happens it will come from the para-elite. High IQ whites stepping up to provide solutions that those now in charge shy away from. Am disgusted, but not surprised, by the lack of sane or decent voices regarding the current unrest. I am a strong believer in law and order, but the pearl clutching over the riots turns my stomach as does does the lack of empathy. It is astonishing that people who supported "necklacing' in South Africa etc get offended by a bit of unruly behaviour from people whose neighbours kids have been knifed to death.
There are essentially no sane voices within conventional politics. Musk and the other tech bros, however, are quite clearly conducting politics by informal means, and having a huge impact on the culture. If there's hope for a counter-elite, right now, it lies with them.
A global state of Anglo civilization is just another way of saying Israel writ large, as it is prophesized in the Bible. Many from all nations will come to learn and settle in the camp of Israel, nearly verbatim quote. It is universalist by definition, this is God's plan. That's why everybody already speaks English
Neoliberal economics can only be sustained and justified in the context of actual economic growth, and that is sputtering out (even most of the muslim world is facing plummetting TFR and AI doesn't seem to be replacing the workforce fast enough to compensate for contracting youth populations.) In that sense the current legitimating paradigm is doomed.
To quantify things, when the Tories were kicked out in 1997 annual legal immigration into the UK was roughly 300,000.
When Blair went in 2007 it had doubled to 600,000.
Under Cameron it reached 800,000.
For the last couple of years legal immigration alone was 1.2 million annually.
These figures put things in perspective. The system is now either sunk into some sort of collective morbidity in which ideology and virtue signalling substitute for calculation, or they are actively aiming to replace the native British as fast as possible.
My read is that it is that last thing. They are aiming to make irreversible changes to European civilization, such that civilization becomes impossible forever. They want to burn the West to the ground, and salt the earth.
I agree though that is not the way that I would put it myself. IMO the cybernetic element within the regime aims to make it impossible for future resistance. This requres destabilising and disrupting the existing population, reducing cohesion and setting new standards of obedience. Mass migration suits these requirements admirably. The replacements have much lower expectations of material reward and vastly different expectations in regards to the rule of law and arbitary authority. They are keen to police the behaviour and speech of the natives.
The regime has no sentimental investment in British culture or heritage. And it is indifferent to the genomic continuity of the British people. Escalating migration flows generates momentum for further global economic integration, a process ggat requires active management. And management guarantees jobs for managers (invariably a major cosideration in everything the regime does).
The regime has been getting desperate because of the weakenening financial system and competition from Russia and China. The 'Great Game' and the 'Race for Africa' are now undertaken using migration into the West as a reward for current or potential allies. The regime is creating client communities to bind the Wedt as closely as possible with the Islamic world and Africa. It is preparing for networked tribalism as a geopolitical instrument in the service of the GAE.
It's certainly occurred to me that migration is a geopolitical quid pro quo. The equivalent of selling the family heirlooms and taking out a third mortgage on the family estate in order to keep their lifestyle going.
Migration is very much caught up with cementing alliances. Migration in exchange for trade and investment flows has been the skeleton in the closet of Canberra for quite a while. Ottawa would be in much the same position. London too.
And the Global South figures prominently in the thinking of Washington. Obama gave a speech at West Point where he gave the game away. In a single throwaway line he admitted that America's grest challenge was to engage the rising middle classes of Asia etc. IRL this means close cooperation with Global Majority eites and that in turn involves visas on a mass scale, as well as providing jobs, opportunities for investment, education.
The GAE was hoping to partner up with China, now they are pinning their hopes on India, Argentina, Venezuela (if they can achieve regime change), Qatar and eventually even Iran. Washington's relaxed attitude to Hamas and Hizbollah organising in the West and its willingness to let fairly hard core Palestinian groups organise in elite colleges is all about signalling that d'etente is on offer.
When the UK deindustrialisation gathered pace in the 70s London sold whatever it could to their clients in the Gulf. Washington will do the same but on a much bigger scale.
Convergence/engagement with the Global South suits the DEI element of the ruling class. One of Obama''s top aides recently wrote that the Civil Rightsmovement did as much, if not more,, to win the Cold War than Vietnam. That is the view at the top. Diversity wins allies. Ergo browning out via migration extends the life of the regime.
In fact, DEI itself could be seen as a bribe to the global south, a promise to include them, give them our equity, in exchange for geopolitical allegiances.
Within the West DEI is about stabilising support for the system by creating an elite that тАШlooks like AmericaтАЩ to use an expression that Obama liked. The same thinking applied geopolitcaly helps create a unified global elite with a shared interest in suppressing the Western middle and working classes. From this perspective, Starmer's repression is a loyalty test to the emerging global order.
Distorted, illogical and crazed views of ignorant leaders is a historical fact and ObamaтАЩs great glibness leading Democrats astray is one more example of this historic fact continuing today. It is a failure of everything that it now may engulf America to Third World status weakening, if not destroying the Constitution, Bill of Rights and a strong middle class. How ignorant fools gain power and influence a political party like the Democrats is not done overnight because institutions are corrupted over time, in this case at least two generations or more through corrupt hiring practices weeding out those who do not think like brainwashed Democrats. How else does the nation create a deep state across not only government but education and the mainstream media, a powerful ally of continuous propaganda? How significant is it that presidents Clinton, Obama, Biden and nominee Harris collectively have no or negligible experience in the greatest free enterprise system in the world to lead the nation?
I agree vigorously with your sentiments but I do not think that Obama was or is a fool. He knew what he was doing. His advisers certainly did. IMO the agenda is to govern the US the way the Third World is governed. It is as simple as that.

No, it doesn't. Musk is no good guy. He's never done anything but sponge off the public.

It's not Washington. Like John said in his "Class Formation" essay, it's a network state of the globalized elite. Cybernetic class consciousness.
It's both, really. The network state has nodes of varying importance. Washington is preeminent among these.
