Attention!

In light of recent events, are you interested in knowing if citizens think the current Middle Easy conflict will escalate, and if there would be opposition to a draft?

Then stay tuned! The report on our latest poll will cover these issues and more, and will drop not latter than tomorrow afternoon.

It's a popular trend for leftist academics to deconstruct nationalism by pointing to it's recency. They point to examples of empires past to show that multiculturalism has been the norm for most of history. Rome is especially popular in this regard.

But what does Rome actually tell us about race, ethnicity and politics? Was there a "Roman nationalism" modern academics have overlooked? This question is the topic of my latest Substack:

Foreign Policy, Non-Interventionism, and the Draft

The Homeland Institute’s latest poll was inspired in large part by the ongoing Gaza crisis. It was conducted between late December, 2023 and early January, 2024. Related topics include the legacy of the Global War on Terror, the US’s relationship with Israel, and opposition to the draft.

Major findings are that:
Only 23.1% of all respondents and 30.2% of Republican respondents can think of a concrete example of Israel aiding American interests off the top of their head.

68.4% of respondents oppose direct intervention in the Gaza conflict with airstrikes or boots on the ground.

25.7% of respondents age 18-29 would oppose a draft through peaceful protest, and 16.9% through non-violent civil disobedience.

4.4% of respondents age 18-29 said they would oppose a draft through violence against government property, and 4.4% through violence against government officials.

The findings of this poll are particularly relevant given the recent US airstrikes on the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, which risk escalating the Gaza crisis into a broader regional or even global conflict.

Mexico is attempting to blackmail the United States, and it is the American government's fault.

After more than 300,000 detected border crossings in December, Biden administration has been putting pressure on Mexico to intervene and stem the flow of migrants toward the US souther border.

And the Mexican government returned with a list of demands:

1. $20 billion in new development aid to Latin American and Caribbean countries

2. An end to the US blockade of Cuba

3. The lifting of sanctions against Venezeula

And 4. the legalization of 10 million more Hispanics already in the United States

There are a few interesting was to interpret this.

The first is that it is the United States job to defend its own sovereignty, but the Biden administration is clearly interested in speeding up the Great Replacement more than anything.

The second crucial aspect to this is that were the American state a self-confident and nationalist nation it would respond to Mexican blackmail with its own raft of policies such as block remittances, suspending the Mexican ability to purchase property in the United States and ceasing all forms of technology sharing.

Steps that would do significant damage to an uncooperative Mexico.

You can read more about the tools the US has at its disposal to force cooperation on the immigration front, but which the American elite choose not to utilize, here on our Substack.

If the Global War on Terror failed to make the US or the Middle East a better place, why continue to repeat the mistakes of the past?

Friends help each other out. Yet despite widespread claims that Israel is America’s “greatest friend and ally” only 23.1% of respondents could think of a concrete example of Israel helping America.

The overwhelming majority of white voters are opposed to direct intervention in the Gaza crisis with boots on the ground or airstrikes. Even more Republicans were opposed to direct military intervention than in favor of it.

Escalation goes against the will of the people.

More respondents in a recent poll think that foreign intervention is a net negative for Americans and even for foreign nations than those who think that it is a net positive.

Why then does a supposedly democratic and representative government continuously embroil America in foreign affairs?
