The end of the white man
The famous American thinker Noam Chomsky read a different reading of the American elections that brought Donald Trump to the White House by beating Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, the result that caused a major shock in the world and an unprecedented dismay in the hearts of America's allies not to mention its enemies. For the reasons that made it possible for Donald Trump to achieve this victory. He has no political or military asset; he has not entered a parliament, entered a government, and has not fought.
Summed up by many analysts in his populist rhetoric and in his racial play when he recited the white man's high-profile obituary. In addition, the American people were fed up with the policies of the two parties, which did not serve him as much as they did in favor of the class that controlled money and politics.
However, Noam Chomsky offers a different explanation for this event. He sees this as having deeper existential dimensions. Trump's rise is due, in part, to the fear of white men because of the growing shortage of births and the rising mortality rate. The rise of Trump in US politics stems in part from the fear and sense of helplessness caused by the high mortality rate among a generation of uneducated whites
As a result, Trump exploited the feelings of anger, fear, resentment and helplessness that the white man possessed, and felt he was at risk from one another, the other, of Muslim and Latino immigrants, as well as the blacks who attacked them in his campaign in a rude way.
Chomsky supports his view of the studies that attributed the high mortality rate not due to common diseases among Americans, but "due to chronic diseases such as liver disease caused by alcohol and drug addiction, or suicide," meaning that the wrong policies led to this tragic end, the end of the white man and his death , And the rise of Trump is in the latter only confirmation of this end.
The question is: what is a white man? What are the manifestations of this end in the Western world away from Chomsky's interpretations and conclusions?
The white man here is the man of Aryan sex, the superior man, who bore the burden of other races to develop them, taking them out of barbaric life to civilization, from barbarism to urbanization, from weakness to power, and for that his armies set out for Africa, Asia, ... an explorer and a Gazan, destroying peoples, destroying lands, looting riches, committing crimes and Holocaust .. So the price of this message was "noble".
The mission of this message was a process of editing the mind; it took the initiative, became a standard of values, and founded a society of freedoms and democracy based on rights and equal opportunities regardless of the gender, color and creed of the individual as determined by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
In addition to the indigenous people, there are Muslim minorities and Black, Asian and Latin minorities, the contention and rivalry of the indigenous peoples have become not only simple acts but also, as a result, As black reached the White House, the ministries took on black figures in America, and Muslim figures assumed responsibility in many European countries. All this was a market that the West was an example of coexistence and a model of respect and tolerance.
This is what is ostensibly marketed, but what is happening in the soul, and what the heart is hiding, was waiting for him to go out to the public. Trump came out and brought out the instruments that the real Western feels, who lives in constant worry about the fate that awaits him.
The threat of minorities, the threat of Islam, and expressed by politicians in the case of exception and the law of emergency and the state of security, and this is only to hide the real reason that he is afraid of him The West Warns Him.
This interpretation may help us understand many of the global transformations and changes that have taken place and will happen. Unfortunately, the world is at a very critical stage. The arrival of Trump to the White House, and perhaps the far right in many European countries in the future, is a victory for the state of fear and war, Populism, the victory for exception, the defeat of state rights and freedoms and the law.
But the victory of all this is certainly a strong demonstration of the West's "white man" crisis, the bankruptcy of his ideas, the exhaustion of his choices, and the failure of his policies to maintain hegemony and domination.
And it is also certain that the white man was in the beginning of his history in the case of an attack that invades people and takes over land and plunder its resources, but now he defends himself through self-sufficiency, so as to preserve his existence and his life.
To deprive a man of his natural liberty and to deny to him the ordinary amenities of life is worse then starving the body; it is starvation of the soul, the dweller in the body.
