CRISIS IN THE UK: A GAME OF FOOLS THAT CAN'T BE WON
On Saturday, May 16, 2026 the crew of Tommy Robinson are holding another protest rally in central London. The last time we witnessed such an event was on Sep. 13 last year (link). The political situation has become even worse since then. As we speak PM Keir Starmer is being deposed by his own party, kicking and screaming, following a disastrous local election in which the Labour Party was decimated. The Tory Party has proved to be no alternative whatsoever. While we have been watching this kind of political conundrums for close on two decades by now -- all parties in the service of the global elites -- only yesterday we were able to understand how this happens. The conclusion is so bad, it took Facebook/Meta like five seconds to remove the post. On Blogger it's still up. So let's commit this to history.

To understand the trouble in the UK, we have to start with history. This was explained last week by Susan Kokinda on an episode of the Patrick Bet-David's podcast.
In this interview Kokinda laid down the role of the City of London in geopolitics since imperial times. She explained why Trump's Iran blockade is really about destroying this 300-year old oil monopoly; how British Intelligence engineered the MAGA civil war; why the Deep State came after Trump, and why Putin is now blaming Britain - not China, not America - for every war being fought today.
Researcher Ryan Gerritsen is on the same trail.
Here we have an excellent summary of what is happening between The U.S., Europe, the London banking system, Canada and other Countries. We are watching a dismantling of the old system, one that central banker Carney would have preferred to continue but is now as we watch him fly… pic.twitter.com/44HDnSFxCY

Here's the view from London on the ground.
Why does Wall Street desperately want to keep Starmer in power? Dimon said the quiet part out loud today, praising Starmer and Rachel Reeves for pushing Britain back into the arms of the EU. Starmer has completely lost the British voters, his Cabinet, and his unions. But the…
These insights happened to coincide with the latest episode of The Roots of Everything, a very important series of podcasts by Dr Zac Porcu in which he deconstructs the Enlightenment and modern philosophy.
Porcu has looked at the political spectrum and explains why the voters have become irrelevant. It's a game going on since the French Revolution that has finally run out of steam.
Those paying attention to politics already knew for at least two decades that no matter what you vote, you get the same damn result every time. No wonder people are getting frustrated.
May 12, 2026 The Roots of Everything: Left and Right Ep.4: Conservatism. Afterparty (link), (page).
The Left versus Right political dichotomy stems from the French National Assembly’s seating arrangement at the time of the French Revolution.
During debates on the constitution and the power of King Louis XVI, supporters of the monarchy and traditional hierarchy sat to the right of the presiding officer, while revolutionary supporters of change and equality sat to the left.
That is how this dialectic started: with supporters of the Old Regime on the Right and Revolutionaries on the Left. Compare that to where we are today.
This dualism is not an absolute; the opposing parties are relative to each other. Progressives on the Left, Conservatives on the Right. This means that the Left is always on the offense for change, as the Right is defending the status quo.
Anybody who has ever played a game, knows that the player or the team with the most offensive strategy, usually wins. And so it is in politics. And history proves exactly that.
Here we see how the mechanism of Hegel’s rat wheel works in practice: the thesis is attacked by an anti thesis, and a compromise is found in which the Overton Window moves a bit to the winning side.
And so gradually, over decades and centuries the entire territory is lost.
It also means that today's radicalism on the Left, is the Conservative position of tomorrow. Starting with the defense of the monarchy, Conservatives are now reduced the defense of gay marriage as the final redoubt against transgenderism.
This is a game that the Right can’t win. And after two and half centuries of this fake engagement, perhaps we should concede that is how the Right likes it. Not revolution, but gradual change towards the exact same, liberal Enlightenment goal as pursued by the Left.
Too bad, if you are laboring under the illusion that voting for Conservative parties is the way to stop the progressivism of the modern Enlightenment.
In the present constellation, democracy has become a game of fools.
