“Academic Agent“: Power Lies with Organised Minorities NOT Majorities, who are disorganised

**Come to our Immigration Conference on Sat 7 Oct in London. Tickets: ** “The organised 100 will always defeat the disorganised 1,000“. “Just as fire drives out fire, so an elite is only ever driven out by another elite.“ So says Dr. Neema Parvini (aka “Academic Agent“), author of “The Populist Delusion“ and, most recently, “The Prophets of Doom“. A Senior Lecturer at the University of Surrey, Dr. Parvini is this week’s guest on Deprogrammed, hosted by Harrison Pitt & Evan Riggs. “The 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump unleashed a wave of populism not seen in America since the Nixon era, which carried him into the presidency. Seen widely as a vindication of the people over elites, his failure to bring about any meaningful change was then seen as an aberration, a departure from a natural state where the people are sovereign and their representatives govern by their consent. This is the populist delusion. In his book, Parvini sets out to prove that the interests of the people have only ever been advanced by a tightly organized minority. Order The Populist Delusion here: Order The Prophets of Doom here: The Prophets of Doom blurb: Linear and progressive views of history have dominated the popular imagination for the past seventy years in a worldview wedded to the inexorable rise of globalisation and GDP-growth at any cost. However, the end of the Cold War failed to produce the end of history as hoped, a fact brought home to many by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Material wealth and ’Progress’ in the name of ‘social justice’ have not made people happier or more united but quite the opposite. Anxiety, depression, fearfulness, sadness, loneliness and anger have all massively increased since 1970 with the male suicide rate at an all-time high. Western society seems to be divided against itself across every line conceivable: left versus right, women versus men, ‘non-whites’ versus ‘whites’, globalists versus populists, ‘the elites’ versus ‘the people’, people who think that men can be women and vice versa versus those who insist that they cannot, and so on. Seventy-three percent of Americans believe their country is on ‘the wrong track’, with similar views reflected in Britain and across Europe. The Prophets of Doom explores eleven thinkers who not only dared to contradict the dominant linear and progressive view of history, but also predicted many of the political and social maladies through which we are living. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.
