Right versus Left is passé: the great dividing line of 2025 pits civic nationalists against global technocrats. The former – including great democracies such as the US, Israel, India and Argentina – believe that elected officials’ principal moral and fiduciary duty is to their country, citizens and constituents. The latter – led by Starmerite Britain and Justin Trudeau’s Canada – are convinced their responsibility is to “the planet”, “human rights”, “international law” and the “liberal international order.”
Trump cares about “his” people; the technocrats care about people in general. Abstractions are dangerous in real-world politics, and often lead to the warping of great ideals. Starmer is actually well-meaning, a true-believer in the righteousness of his mission, but his moral compass is drastically out of whack with that of most British citizens.
