[ REPUB ] Michael Shellenberger: Americans Are Tired of Being the Policemen of the World
The JD Vance speech at the Munich Security Conference in 2025. The one by Marco Rubio this year. European leaders still aren't listening.

In an era thankfully consigned to the dustbin of history—the age of colonies and slavery —there existed the “house negroes.” Slaves who, instead of being worked to death in the fields, served as domestics in the master’s household.
Two uniforms and one pair of shoes per year, the right to eat in the kitchen rather than the fields, and the privilege of not being quartered with the field hands. To keep those perks, these “house negroes” would do anything—except seize their freedom.
Today’s European leaders are the house negroes of our time. For the sake of two uniforms and a pair of shoes annually, they will do anything to cling to the privileges bestowed by their master—privileges denied to the field negroes, who remain drenched in sweat and dressed in rags.
The master tells them: “I emancipate you—be strong, fend for yourselves; it’s in my interest.” But the house negroes know full well they are incapable of tilling their own land—and, horror of horrors, that the field negroes will one day demand an accounting for the abuses they suffered at their hands, all under the cover of their cozy status as the master’s favored tool.
That is exactly what today’s European leaders have become: house negroes.
Hence the value in making our interview with our colleague Michael Shellenberger—conducted a year ago—freely available to all.
In the kingdom of the deaf, who wears the crown?
(Alternatively, you could just read Hegel; his master–slave dialectic is far less crude.)

America is no longer our ally. America brokers peace in Ukraine by betraying us. Donald Trump is treading in Adolf Hitler’s footsteps—even Jacques Attali dared to scribble that, in a fit of full-blown paranoid delirium...

That was then, a year ago. Now Jacques Attali, former éminence grise of President François Mitterrand for 14 years, mentor of Emmanuel Macron, is asserting that America is on the verge of dictatorship. Maybe because he ain’t no kingmaker anymore.
