Many of us refer to our homelands - our States - as enemy occupied territory, and other happier States as Free America.
We haven't given up. Like Puddleglum, we'll live as much like Americans (and Virginians, and Texans, and...) I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t America left.
Excellent piece. The failure of the Republic was, I think, the same reason as Rome. The lure of Conquest, Graced with Success, leads to a savagery cloaked in the fabric of Idealism. The enveloping state nexus, as the expression of conquering power, dissolves the framework of self government wherever it encounters it, at every level of life. The complete abstraction of life into
categories of information structure leads to disassociation from the real. "Reconnection" is achieved through repetition of outward projection and dominance validation, at every level. Tragic as it may be, the Republic began to fall as it began, as the vision of Empire filled American
minds, and "Manifest Destiny was "Graced with Success".

That is *commercial advertising* and the messages in corporate ads are carefully designed and tuned to boost corporate interests. That is purely because of "commercial interests":
My guess is that this and most multiracial "wokeism" funded and pushed by corporate advertisers, corporate HR departments, "sell side" journalists, "sell side" politicians, "sell side" academics, etc. would be nugatory if the wages of "people of global majority" were higher than those of pale-skinned workers. In Poland corporate ads have very few "people of global majority" because local pale-skinned poles are cheap enough and most immigrants are even cheaper pale-skinned ukrainians.
As many think-tanks and intellectuals have written many times low pale-skinned nataloity numbers in the USA and EU would create downward pressure on incomes (from business and property) and upward pressure on costs (from labor) and the only places that can supply large numbers of cheap workers are Africa and southern Asia, and they happen to have dark-skinned people.
Therefore it is important to use corporate media (advertising, movies, television) to "normalize" the presence of large numbers of dark-skinned people because business and property owners need a substantially growing supply of tenants and cheap workers.
«In Poland corporate ads have very few "people of global majority" because local pale-skinned poles are cheap enough and most immigrants are even cheaper pale-skinned ukrainians.»
In several african countries with 99.9% dark-skinned people there is no corporate advertising with 50% pale-skinned people either.
Also when dark-skinned south-african or nigerian mobs riot against the mass immigration of even cheaper equally dark-skinned workers from neighboring countries the "western press" call them "racists" even if everybody involved is dark-skinned and even if it is a principle of "workeism" that dark-skinned people cannot be racist only pale-skinned ones are.

"Enslaved people of African descent"?
That raised an eyebrow too. Is this an affliction of the British mind that even the chuds adopt Newspeak?

Hold the line.
Good piece by the way.

«but in truth — at least for Tony Blair, its principal architect — multiracialism was simply modernity, as defined by the American example»
It was always commercial interests, that is following thatcherite goals of "moderating" wages and "improving" house prices:
