What is going on with the unending Brexit drama, the aftershocks of Donald Trump's election and the "yellow vests" protests in France? What drives the growing estrangement of southern and eastern Europe from the European Union establishment? What fuels the anti-EU themes of recent European elections and the stunning recent Australian re-election of conservatives?
Put simply, the middle classes are revolting against Western managerial elites. The latter group includes professional politicians, entrenched bureaucrats, condescending academics, corporate phonies and propagandistic journalists.
What are the popular gripes against them?
One, illegal immigration and open borders have led to chaos. Lax immigration policies have taxed social services and fueled multicultural identity politics, often to the benefit of boutique leftist political agendas.
Two, globalization enriched the cosmopolitan elites who found worldwide markets for their various services. New global markets and commerce meant Western nations outsourced, offshored and ignored their own industries and manufacturing (or anything dependent on muscular labor that could be replaced by cheaper workers abroad).
Three, unelected bureaucrats multiplied and vastly increased their power over private citizens. The targeted middle classes lacked the resources to fight back against the royal armies of tenured regulators, planners, auditors, inspectors and adjustors who could not be fired and were never accountable.

“In the next few years, expect more grassroots demands for the restoration of the value of citizenship. There will be fewer middle-class apologies for patriotism and nationalism. The non-elite will become angrier about illegal immigration, demanding a return to the idea of measured, meritocratic, diverse and legal immigration.”
Only question, is it too late? Are we now outnumbered?
‘advising the’ = ‘accusing them’
My phone “helped” me. Google’s probably got an algorithm in place to render any FR posts unintelligible.
“Only question, is it too late? Are we now outnumbered?”
Well politics makes strange bedfellows. What do angry blacks, classical liberal civil libertarians and middle class constitutional conservatives that are frustrated with regulation and unequal treatment under the law have in common?
Oppression by the elites in government.
The Western Middle Classes have awakened to the fact that their governments are controlled by a liberal fascist movement.
That movement is summarized here historically:

A year ago, all of the Americans over aged 55 working in my business unit (including myself), were laid off, while all of the India-based members of the same team were unaffected. I worked for a leading IT Company. All of us American employees had 30 to 35+ years with this company.
Most of us have been unable to find new jobs. American white males over age 60 are not a prime hiring demographic. Most of today’s progressive, all-inclusive, diversity-driven High Tech companies seem to have an unspoken promise to hate Whitey when it comes to hiring decisions. They give you extra penalty points for being an older American.
Those who have been paying attention have awakened to learn that we no longer have a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people’ that our Founders envisioned.
