Eric Kaufmann’s new book pillories ‘progressive’ (woke) extremism – including Albanese Labor

Hence his chart, of rising "cancel culture" incidents, on US/UK campuses. A table, of the UK educated favouring political correctness, more than the public at large.

Or even, a table of US Democrat students, winnowing Trump supporters from their dating pools.

Kaufmann sees woke overshoot as a form of Deculturation. Losing its historical status as British America, Canada reinvents as a "morally superior left-wing version of America…with an expansionist ethos of mass immigration".

Similarly, politicians hypeAustralia as the "most successful multicultural society".

We've the highest proportion of overseas-born anywhere, apart from a few Middle Eastautocracies. Yet remain, ABC/SBS or not, a comparatively tolerant nation for minorities.

Albanese's pushing our luck, anointing Modi India, as our "special" immigration and (over)population partner, with blanket recognition of Indian qualifications.

Kaufmann acknowledges, 2020s conservatives in America have pushed back, against DEI and similar tropes. Outdoing satire, muscular Bud Light beer utilised a trans activist, only to trash their own brand.

Don't yet think, he warns, the "tide is turning". The conservative side of politics has been too timid. As "progressive educators…steadily bend" the educational program, easily making up for "yardage" lost under conservative ascendancies.

Florida governor Ron de Santis appears as an isolated "standard bearer", legislating against woke overreach in schools and universities.

Urged by Kaufmann, Britain's "liberal Tories" also legislated for university free-speech. Yet their Brexit has broken all promises, obliterating British immigration records.

He fears the 2024 re-election of UK Labour unleashing the "full force of progressive illiberalism".

In metropolitan France, also Quebec, he discerns more resistance to woke virus. Quebec just reminded Justin Trudeau, it's your government not migrants themselves, causing Canada's housing crisis.
