The French Election

Guest Post by The Zman

Most people reading this probably have little interest in French politics so the presidential election today is a bit of a non-story. Macron will win with 60% of the vote as he has the full backing of the European establishment and the cosmopolitan class in France. Unlike the US, French elections are basically a collection of city elections. If you can win Paris, you win France. Imagine if Manhattan dictated our election results.

One reason for this is French politics have largely been conducted in a narrow space of post-war cosmopolitan social democracy. Like teenagers who define themselves by their contentious relationship with their parents, European political elites defined themselves by how petulant they could be toward the Americans. As a result, there is a fundamental lack of seriousness in French political culture. They vote for the cool kids, not the smart kids.

Still, it bears watching for those on the Dissident Right as it helps frame the coming battles in the West over the central conflict of our age. European elites imagine a pan-European feudalism where the peasantry has no identity of their own. The resistance imagines a continent of states governed by national populism that corresponds with their unique cultural heritage. The flash point is immigration from the south, particularly Islam.

The last time a non-approved candidate made it to the second round of the French presidential election was 15 years ago when Le Pen’s father did it. He got 18% of the vote in the second round, but his success had a sobering effect on the French political class after what they saw as a close call with fascism. They started to take the Right more seriously, which is why the mainstream parties have largely converged on all issues.

This time, Le Pen is hoping to break 40%, but there is zero chance she will will win or even make it close. It’s not so much that Macron has much appeal as that Le Pen is not a great politician for France. Her cause needs a roguish male to lead the party, someone who has some flare and has had some success in other areas. France has always needed a man on a horse to restore order and national pride.

That’s why the final number will matter. If Le Pen does break 40%, that will open a lot of eyes in the French political class. If you are an ambitious politician, you will now have a base of 40% to work from simply by adopting the immigration arguments of Le Pen. Avoid some of the weird and unpleasant aspects of the National Front and you can become the great compromise that unites France. That’s the hope anyway, from the Civic Nationalists.

It’s also the fear of the globalists who keep trying to make this election look like a horse race. They desperately want a resounding victory for Macron and they want to have a trophy they can hold up, claiming the Far Right is now dead. The obituaries for Le Pen and her issues are all written and ready to go as soon as the vote is counted. By pretending it is close, they can cast any win as a massive defeat for the Right.

The reality is something different. France, as a self-governing political entity, was probably broken in the Great War, but it was most certainly broken in the Second World War. Getting run over by the Huns and then having most of your political class collaborate with them will do that to a country. If that was not enough, being relegated to the kiddie table during the Cold War finished off what was left of responsible French leadership.

It’s why Macron winning is probably a good thing for France. He is an accelerationist, who wants to fling open the gates and invite in millions of Muslims. He wants to hand over to Brussels what’s left of  French sovereignty. Nothing undermines the legitimacy of the rulers like seeing them on their knees, kissing the feet of foreigners. Macron is Marshal Philippe Pétain, without any of the military success on his resume.

If there is any hope for a revival of French culture it will only come through total French humiliation and despair. Once a majority of Frenchmen no longer see any reason to support the status quo, to remain loyal to their betters, then things change and change rapidly. It will not happen through elections and political activism. Democracy is good at driving a country off a cliff. It is useless in pulling it back onto the road. France needs to vote itself off the cliff in order to clear the field for what comes next.

Of course, what comes next may simply be the end of France. There is nothing magical about the land on which the French people live. When Caesar conquered Gaul, he did not conquer the French. When the peasants stormed the Bastille, most people in France did not speak French. The point being, there is nothing permanent about France. Maybe what comes next is the slow invasion of Europe from the south and the death of Europe. It could simply be reversion to the mean and nature is now reclaiming an exception.

Personally, I think France (and Europe) are a lost cause and as good as dead.
Mark Steyn wrote “America Alone” 19 years ago, and so far he’s spot on.
Tomorrow, we’ll see.
Just like with Trump’s election, it ain’t over ’til it’s over.

Yeah, if LePen wins, Zman will shit. I have trouble working up much of a feeling about it myself, but the day before the election here, people were saying the same thing about Hillary winning big. She didn’t, but it turned out not to make any difference.

Simply the best article on this subject I have read anywhere.
The part about the news stories already being written was prescient. When the polls closed I clicked on Drudge and Reuters was proclaiming a landslide before a single vote was officially counted.

I was with the author until the very last sentence. There can be no reversion to a mean if there is no mean except that whites are a dwindling global minority that no one because of political correctness is willing to admit nor prevent.

Nor do I see how nature is “reclaiming an exception.” What I see is the Euro experiment destroying national sovereignty, opening the borders and encouraging the influx of stone-age savages that thirteen centuries ago destroyed the Roman Empire and are now over-running the rest of Europe.

“The point being, there is nothing permanent about France. Maybe what comes next is the slow invasion of Europe from the south and the death of Europe.”

That sounds like LA. Almost every week a neighborhood changes from black to brown, brown to Chinese…Donald Sterling’s old neighborhood became brown after he graduated high school.

The amazing thing is there are white people living in downtown LA again. Antonio Villaraigosa borrowed a page from Henry Cisneros’ miracle in San Antonio. If LA’s skid row can be born again, I guess there is hope for America.

When postage stamp size building lots are a million bucks you can convince many that the ghetto they just bulldozed is a wonderful place to raise a family. Living in a place where beautiful large homes and yards are only $150-200K I will likely never be able to get enthused about such a concept.

The downtown LA is north of the 10. I-10 is the dividing line. South of the 10 and east of the 5 is the ghetto. Admin showed a graphic where the area south of the 10 and west of the 5 has the highest murder rate in the metropolis. That is called the south-central area, Compton, for short.

The disturbing thing is that since the wave of people moving from Compton to Antelope Valley, the crime has increased here tremendously. When you get a 2 minute commentary by a celebrity on a talk show, talking about how people in the Antelope Valley are ‘weird’ – that’s fucked up.

It’s fucked up because AV residents were famous for their friendliness. Now AV is known for all the crime reporting that we get.

Nations are people, not property. Look at the root of the word.

Replace the people, that’s the end of that nation. Europe is a geographic entity and the nations of Europe are slowly marching towards extinction. The artifacts and names may remain- for a while- but eventually they too will vanish beneath the swarms of replacements.

There’s a video out there that sums it up pretty well.

Perhaps the turnout was so low because the french no longer believe in change through the ballot. I no longer believe in change through the ballot and I suspect that most of you have finally come to the same conclusion. The french have decided that they will no longer participate in a corrupt system and will, in stead, chose to take the system by force. I suspect that the muslims will be the trigger event, but it is likely the corruption of the elites which will be the root cause. Either way, once the criminals have taken over the reigns of power it is only weapons that can wrest it from them and return it to the people.

Y’all had better make appropriate preparations.

“If there is any hope for a revival of French culture it will only come through total French humiliation and despair. Once a majority of Frenchmen no longer see any reason to support the status quo, to remain loyal to their betters, then things change and change rapidly.”

Out of the depths of despair comes revolution and it will not be a pretty sight because the rules of engagement go out the window in a struggle for survival between the French people and an alien other from Africa and the Middle East. But Spain did it in 1492 and so can France. Camp of Saints will be replaced by a Camp of Savage Patriots…and the flotilla will be away from the French coast. Don’t underestimate the DNA shaped by 30,000 years of evolution on an ice-covered northern European continent.

On January 2, 1492, the Islamic Kingdom of Granada was surrendered to the Catholic majesties of Ferdinand and Isabella. After 781 years, Spain was free.

From what I have read, French elections are a lot like those in my home state of Oregon. Oregon is the empire of Portland. It matters not what the rest of the state thinks, if Portland wants a democrat, the democrat wins and the democrat has always won since around 1980. So Paris wanted Macron and what the rest of the country thinks about it is of little importance.

Not unlike my native state of Washington; replace “Portland” with “Seattle”.

It would be cool if the parts of WA and OR east of the cascades broke off and formed their own state.

State of Jefferson advocates have been trying to gain traction forever.

Eastern Ore and Wa should be separate states or one combined state separate from the west side lunacy.

Problem is none of that will help me as I live in one of those last remaining red counties in NW Oregon. However it is slowly being devoured by the blue locusts from the PDX metro area or Californians.

I visited a young couple in Paris in 2008 and I remember the guy making a comment that I found interesting at the time and I now think says a lot about what is happening today. He said something to the affect that “it’s not uncommon to see Americans waving the American flag. That’s something you never see the French doing, you’ll never see the French waving the French flag.”
