Liberal elite destruction of Western civilization

If it wasn't so predictable and sad it would be funny.
The liberal elites in the universities, the press, "society", and government aren't smart. They are so driven by ruling the world and changing it into this imaginary liberal utopia they have fueled just the opposite. Germany, France, USA, Japan, etc. all are depopulating while the lib elites continue to preach and teach hatred of our country to our young. The liberal elites have dumbed down our students with their horrible domination and ruination of our education system and their policies in our once formidable large cities have driven millions to more conservative states which are now dominating in new wealth generation. Countries like India, where its population is proud of their country and see a burgeoning future are dominating industry replacing Germany and the USA.
All their bullshit has put us on a path of self destruction. The third world corruption they have put in place in our government and legal system has just exacerbated an already failing pipe dream of globalism/socialism.

Not so long ago, the West was captivated by visions of the ‘end of history’. Francis Fukuyama, Thomas Friedman, Kenichi Ohmae and others envisaged the permanent triumph of a global neoliberal order. They foresaw the emergence of a system controlled by an ever-expanding army of technocrats and professionals, concentrated in a handful of great cosmopolitan cities, riding on ‘advanced’ industries and services.
It is countries like China, not the avatars of liberalism, that are now clearly ascendant. Over the past 20 years, the share of the world economy controlled by the G7 (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US) has shrunk from 65 to 44 per cent. Today, China produces almost as many manufactured goods as the US, Japan and Germany combined. This is one reason why there are now more billionaires in Beijing than in New York City.
Amid a generally weak global economy, the fastest growth now takes place in India, as well as resource-rich Saudi Arabia and parts of Africa. In terms of purchasing power, the combined wealth of the Global South-dominated BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – surpasses that of the G7.
What went wrong for the globalists?
Once-confident globalists failed to pay attention to three critical issues: the continued importance of the material realm, the crucial role of demographic change and, lastly, the importance of culture.
The West’s climate wars
The Western elites’ climate zealotry is now a serious problem. As Robert Bryce has shown, in 2021 green non-profits received well over four times as much as those advocating for the use of nuclear or fossil fuels. The Net Zero policies these organisations promote have had catastrophic effects in places like Germany, whose industrial base is facing devastation. Some now think that even the Russian economy is out-performing Germany’s.
Net Zero and the resultant high energy prices are facing a strong political backlash. They have helped to revitalise Germany’s populist right, and they are also unsettling establishment parties in France, the Netherlands, Sweden and Italy. These domestic political conflicts are being fought out between those who rely on affordable energy – factory workers, farmers, people involved in logistics – and the climate-obsessed classes concentrated in newsrooms, the universities and among the corporate elite.

Brilliant hh, just brilliant.
It must be nice being stupid enough to think that the next failed liberal society will be the good one.
