Mark, one of my favorite people was Samuel Huntington. As he once once put it, "the delegates (I believe he was referring to our politicians) view national boundaries as obstacles that thankfully are vanishing, and see national governments as residues from the past whose only useful function is to facilitate the élite’s global operation…

As he once once put it, "the delegates (I believe he was referring to our politicians) view national boundaries as obstacles that thankfully are vanishing, and see national governments as residues from the past whose only useful function is to facilitate the élite’s global operations.”
One of my favorite books was "The Clash of Civilizations and The Remaking of World Order. He wrote:
"Peoples and nations are attempting to answer the most basic question humans can face: Who are we? And they are answering that question in the traditional way human beings have answered it, by reference to the things that mean the most to them. People define themselves in terms of ancestry, religion, language, history, values, customs, and institutions. They identify with cultural groups: tribes, ethnic groups, religious communities, nations, and, at the broadest level, civilizations. People use politics not just to advance their interests, but to also define their identity. We know who we are only when we know who we are not and often only when we know whom we are against."
Clash of Civilization Chap 1, page 3.
I liked the statement and see a lot of current events attempting to corral the majority of people into acting in a way contrary to our nature and this creates chaos which then people, like George Soros trade off the chaos and enrich themselves further at our expense. The Progressive mindset can't handle these truths or simply ignore them and the only way to accomplish their goals is through totalitarianism..

Yes, outstanding book.
"Peoples and nations are attempting to answer the most basic question humans can face: Who are we?"
In the woke West the answer is, Whoever you say you are. This is the endgame of Liberalism as a philosophy.
