00:00:30.000 While the events unfolding in the conflict between Hamas and Israel are horrific,
00:00:34.580 they've also provided some critical moments of startling clarity
00:00:37.460 as many liberals say the quiet part out loud.
00:00:40.300 Dan Carlin, the host of the popular Hardcore History podcast,
00:00:43.820 is a self-described libertarian who came down with a nasty case of Trump derangement syndrome
00:00:48.320 after the election of the 45th president.
00:00:50.980 He now dutifully parrots mainstream media talking points
00:00:53.920 about the ominous brand of authoritarianism that the former reality television host represents.
00:00:59.440 Ironically, Carlin recently took to Twitter to highlight the dangers of replacement-level immigration
00:01:05.300 while outlining the rationale for Israel's approach to border security,
00:01:09.120 explaining that the Jewish population would be subject to
00:01:12.200 conquest via democracy if they changed their current policy.
00:01:16.480 The historian is correct about the political reality but would be aghast if the same plain truth
00:01:23.220 issued from the mouth of a MAGA supporter.
00:01:26.280 Many moderate liberals have been surprised to see a flood of criticism aimed at Israel by leftists
00:01:31.960 in the week after the initial Hamas attacks.
00:01:34.680 Progressives have labeled the nation as a colonial power and apartheid state bent on oppressing beleaguered minorities.
00:01:43.420 The more radical elements of the left have taken narratives that they regularly level at western nations
00:01:49.240 and enthusiastically applied them to conflict in the Middle East.
00:01:53.420 This puts moderates like Carlin in the awkward position of attempting to validate progressive concerns
00:01:59.600 while still making an argument for Israel's right to protect its own existence.
00:02:04.780 In one exchange on Twitter, Carlin attempted to answer a fan who asked
00:02:09.240 why Israel should not be made to end its status as an ethno-religious state
00:02:13.680 and create one unified nation that embraces plurality and equal rights for all.
00:02:19.120 The podcaster explained,
00:02:20.620 The only thing more stunning than the clarity of this response
00:02:40.460 is Carlin's ability to keep it in a hermetically sealed compartment
00:02:44.100 where it cannot interrupt the rest of his anti-Trump bromides.
00:02:47.380 Every word of this statement is undeniably true,
00:02:51.780 but Carlin would quickly cut it down as nativist and xenophobic
00:02:55.400 if he heard it in a soundbite from Tucker Carlson.
00:02:59.000 In theory, representative government allows the populace
00:03:02.420 to select at least a portion of their government
00:03:04.580 and have an influence on the direction policy will take.
00:03:07.920 The debate over whether this actually occurs is a complex one
00:03:11.520 that I've contributed to at length,
00:03:13.460 but there isn't space to recapitulate it here.
00:03:15.460 While the people may never truly be sovereign,
00:03:18.620 the act of voting is most certainly a sacred democratic ritual
00:03:21.740 which transfers legitimacy upon the government
00:03:24.200 that will rule in the name of the polis.
00:03:26.780 This ritual isn't given meaning
00:03:28.640 because some random collection of individuals
00:03:31.160 who happen to be standing inside an arbitrary set of geographic boundaries
00:03:35.660 casts a ballot.
00:03:37.240 The symbolic power of the vote emanates from the fact
00:03:40.780 that a specific set of people,
00:03:42.480 citizens with a legitimate claim to speak on behalf of the nation
00:03:46.460 lend their voices to the political will
00:03:48.860 that will shape society going forward.
00:03:51.800 Right-wing pundits like Tucker Carlson
00:03:53.760 who have had the courage to speak on the dangers
00:03:55.960 of replacement-level immigration
00:03:57.520 have been called the standard list of progressive slurs
00:04:00.180 for daring to point out the obvious.
00:04:03.600 Carlson has been regularly slammed by the left
00:04:06.540 for perpetuating the Great Replacement Conspiracy Theory
00:04:09.900 from his sizable and influential platform,
00:04:12.900 but he has only restated the obvious truth
00:04:15.220 that Carlin noted in relation to Israel.
00:04:18.380 The results of an election only hold legitimacy
00:04:21.500 insofar as they represent the will of the citizenry,
00:04:25.320 those who are tied deeply to the country
00:04:27.320 and have skin in the game.
00:04:29.320 If Israel were to suddenly transform their nation
00:04:32.760 by taking in the entirety of the Palestinian people,
00:04:35.820 it would completely alter the society within a generation.
00:04:40.500 The Israelis and the Palestinians
00:04:42.080 are radically different people,
00:04:44.280 and even if they didn't have generations
00:04:46.140 of violent hostility between them,
00:04:48.460 there's no shared identity or moral vision
00:04:51.160 that could bind them together.
00:04:53.220 A sudden influx of Palestinians
00:04:55.560 equipped with the franchise
00:04:56.820 would remake the electoral landscape,
00:04:59.300 and the demographic shift from birth rates
00:05:01.440 would quickly make Israelis a minority
00:05:03.480 inside their own country
00:05:04.920 with all the diminished political representation
00:05:07.320 that implies.
00:05:09.480 Carlin can easily see the disastrous outcome
00:05:12.520 that this policy would have on the Israeli population,
00:05:15.820 but he, like many moderates,
00:05:17.680 would balk at the same logic being applied
00:05:20.020 to what is happening to nations in Europe
00:05:22.140 or the United States.
00:05:23.740 What's better than a well-marbled ribeye
00:05:25.840 sizzling on the barbecue?

00:05:52.900 While the left screams at any conservative
00:05:56.600 who notices this plan
00:05:58.240 to gain permanent electoral dominance
00:06:00.520 through immigration,
00:06:01.840 they haven't been shy about
00:06:03.080 openly announcing it themselves.
00:06:06.200 Democrat politicians and pundits
00:06:08.020 regularly brag about the inevitable demise
00:06:10.860 of the Republican Party
00:06:12.120 due to demographic shifts in the United States.
00:06:15.400 For the left,
00:06:16.680 open borders aren't a crisis,
00:06:18.360 but an electoral strategy
00:06:19.840 designed to slowly erode
00:06:21.320 any domestic political opposition.
00:06:24.660 Conservatives that notice the obvious trend
00:06:27.160 are denounced as xenophobic conspiracy mongers,
00:06:30.400 but the Democrats are allowed
00:06:31.800 to openly celebrate
00:06:33.220 the success of their policies.
00:06:35.900 Author Michael Anton
00:06:37.020 calls this dialectic phenomenon
00:06:39.320 the celebration parallax,
00:06:41.740 and it's remarkably effective
00:06:43.100 at silencing opposition
00:06:44.820 while allowing leftists
00:06:46.120 to advance their agenda
00:06:47.220 out in the open.
00:06:49.400 Why is it so easy
00:06:50.720 for centrists like Carlin
00:06:52.240 to recognize conquest
00:06:53.700 by democracy in Israel,
00:06:55.800 but deny it in Europe
00:06:57.200 or the United States?
00:06:59.020 The podcaster understands
00:07:01.020 that the question is not
00:07:02.200 what is happening,
00:07:03.880 but who it is happening to.
00:07:06.900 Trump supporters have been
00:07:08.340 coded as domestic enemies
00:07:09.880 by the regime,
00:07:10.920 while Israel has not,
00:07:12.640 though the increasing weight
00:07:13.740 given to radical leftist narratives
00:07:15.740 around decolonization
00:07:17.120 may eventually shift that dynamic.
00:07:19.700 The interest is not
00:07:20.760 in intellectual consistency
00:07:22.540 or compelling arguments
00:07:24.180 through force of reason,
00:07:25.620 but compliance to power
00:07:27.020 through public repetition
00:07:28.180 of the approved talking points.
00:07:30.700 Representative government
00:07:31.920 and mass immigration
00:07:33.100 are a recipe for disaster.
00:07:35.420 A nation is not an economic zone
00:07:37.400 or an arbitrary set of lines
00:07:39.280 on a map,
00:07:40.180 but a people with a shared set
00:07:41.540 of values, traditions,
00:07:43.420 and history.
00:07:44.040 This is as true
00:07:46.240 for the United States
00:07:47.540 as it is for England,
00:07:49.160 France, Israel,
00:07:50.740 or Japan.
00:07:52.200 A nation can absorb
00:07:53.840 a certain number
00:07:54.820 of patriotic immigrants
00:07:56.460 and integrate them
00:07:57.440 over time
00:07:58.320 without changing
00:07:59.180 the character of the society,
00:08:01.000 but the choice to do so
00:08:02.300 should always belong
00:08:03.840 to the citizens
00:08:04.640 of the nation.
00:08:05.900 It should never be mandated
00:08:07.520 by cynical political actors
00:08:09.200 seeking power.
00:08:10.360 In a democracy,
00:08:12.740 a feckless ruling class
00:08:14.080 can always attempt
00:08:15.280 to hold on to power
00:08:16.400 by replacing
00:08:17.140 the current population
00:08:18.520 with a more compliant one.
00:08:20.660 It should be just as acceptable
00:08:22.620 to notice the disastrous nature
00:08:24.940 of this policy
00:08:26.120 for the United States
00:08:27.460 as it is for Israel.
