Mohammed Ben Abbesleader of the Muslim Brotherhood, becomes president of France.
Under his moderate appearance, he hides the ambition to make France part of the Muslim world, and immediately imposes a watered-down version of sharia.
The disturbing thing about Submissionthe novel by Michel Houellebecqis the lack of resistance of the protagonist, a university professor, to being overwhelmed by the project and becoming Muslim.
After all, he himself is mired in an existential crisis and, apart from the material advantages (the new legislation has removed women from job competition and allows polygyny), Islam gives him a sense of belonging that he did not know until that moment.
Western identity, including liberal democracy, equality and fundamental rights, is ultimately not very relevant.
The question that immediately arises when reading Michel Houellebecq’s fiction is what would happen in Spain? How many would rush to embrace the new religion?
The writer Michel Houellebecq during an interview with El Cultural.
Nationalism and woke They have shown us that the masses are quite cowardly in the face of an organized current, especially if they manage to convince everyone that they are the majority or are right (or strong).
We have also learned that there are politicians willing to embrace any ideology or religion that allows them to shepherd the masses.
Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine a sudden conversion of Irene Montero e Ione Herband that they continued scolding us, but with flirtatious hijab brand. Her silence in the face of Iranian women’s struggle against theocracy revealed the sincerity of her feminism, but her anti-Westernism is very real.
This is the question. The left, like teenagers, exhibits its rebellion towards the place where it lives comfortably. It woke has aggravated this foolish rebellion by turning the West into a focus of machismo, racism and colonialism, and the rest of the world into a compendium of victims deserving of empathy.
The result is that a strange hierarchy of the oppressed has been created, so that when a woman is sexually assaulted by a third world man (no offense intended), the left remains silent.
With these things in mind, how can we not believe that, if Third Worldism came to power, the left would be the first to submit?
By the way, what about Zohran Mamdaninew mayor of New York?

Like the fictional Ben Abbes, he maintained a tone of dialogue and unity during the election campaign. But he does not seem to be interested in Islamist sharia, but in wokeand that is why, in his victory speech, he immediately set about dividing the world between oppressors and oppressed: landlords who take advantage of tenants, and bosses who exploit workers.
The secret (Mamdani continued) is to allow the Government to intervene: “We will show that there is no problem too big for the Government to solve, nor too small for it not to worry about.”
And this announcement of unequivocal interventionism was received with great applause.
According to exit polls, 78% of voters between 18 and 29 years old voted for him, and only 18% for Cuomo. Even more curious: the percentage of university students who participated in the elections reaches no less than 80%, and among them Mamdani won with a difference of 19 points.
That is why the scientist Peter Turchin has said that Mamdani owes his triumph to what he calls “qualified precariat.” They earn a lot of money by Spanish standards, but it is barely enough to live in New York, where the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is €4,400, and €5,700 in Manhattan.
History is not explained so much as a class struggle (as I thought Marx) but as the rise and fall of the elites (as I said Pareto).
The qualified precariat, the young university students who realize that they are going to live worse than their parents, They are the frustrated aspirants to the eliteand that is why it is the most dangerous class for social stability. They are the ones who aspire to achieve power and shepherd the masses, starting with the masses of those who cannot rent a home.

Therefore, Zohran Mamdani is not Ben Abbes, but There’s Colau. A left-wing populist who seeks to stabilize these new discontents.
Los boomersOf course, we have aggravated this factor of instability by rigidly maintaining our privilege over the millennialwho now face a frankly complicated situation. If we are given enough time, we will solve the problem by dying, but for now we have created societies in which the old will enjoy wealth and the young will enjoy precariousness.
It is not difficult to understand that they are not very enthusiastic.
That is why it is possible that the dilution of the West will not finally occur due to the newcomers, but for the young people who live there angry and do not have a special affection for it.
What comes next will be much worse, of course.
And returning to Spain and submission, it does not seem that we are currently a society of gladiators, willing to defend Western civilization to the death. We even accept with total passivity that a morally incapable person, motivated by his (rather shabby) personal interests, separates us from the West, turns us into the black sheep of NATO and brings us closer to the Chinese, to the delight of his local press.
