Is the battle for control of Europe beginning?
This is an interesting commentary on the Western assumption that traditional peoples exposed to liberalism will abandon tradition in favor of it.
I have said many times that the 21st century will be dominated by the conflict between liberalism and traditionalism, and this is just one instance of it. The significant role that "wokeness" played in the US general election is another, for example, as well as the conservative Christian GOP base that was motivated by traditions.
This is a major theme in this moment in the historical dialectic.
