America’s middle class is also intensely patriotic. This too is problematic for the collectivist elite. Patriotism, by definition, is anti-globalist and anti-collectivist. Patriotism is particular; patriotism values the particular love of country and the particular defense of what one has and doesn’t want to lose. No surprise, then, that patriotism is pilloried and excoriated in the media, in education, and even by politicians who call it xenophobia and racism.

Its not “collectivist”.

This war is tribal. Or call it a caste war. Or call it a class war. Or call it a war of religion. None of these are entirely correct, but some mixture of the above captures a complex and “fuzzy” truth.

There is an overclass, that controls all institutions, that sees the middle class as an enemy, a group that can overthrow them.

Its certainly not “collectivist” as nearly every one of those people in the “overclass” has a social and economic position, or desires one, outside of the mass of the despised enemy. They do not want a single controlling entity to rule THEM either. Certainly they do not want to be reduced to just another powerless cog in the collective. It is all about their status after all.
