A Color Revolution is a term coined by Russian military strategists for the preferred way the United States enacts regime change.

The goal of staging a color revolution is to create conditions suitable to have a pretext for military intervention on behalf of the people, either internally or externally, to get rid of the current regime.

So named because the protesting forces involved usually coalesce around a symbolic color of resistance, such as the Rose Revolution in Georgia in 2012, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2014,or the Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan in 2005, it is a specific playbook for regime change designed for a world in which the prospect of infinitely escalating mimetic violence must be off the table. The question then becomes how does one facilitate a people’s revolution, with minimal violence and cost.

Eric Kaufmann is professor of Politics at Birkbeck College, University of London, and author of "Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration, and the Future of White Majorities".


Eric’s research interests focus on demography, ethnicity, nationalism, and the study of white ethnic majorities in Western countries,

We talk about what Eric lays out as the 2 whiteshifts that are coming, Why support for right-wing populism in Western nations is driven by demographics, identity, and attachment, not economics, the causes of the dearth of scholarship on ethnic majorities, left modernism, the mutability of white ethnic identity, we touch briefly on critiques of critical race theory, intersectionality, and some of the responses to these lines of inquiry, we deal with the myth of conspiratorial white genocide, and learn why Professor Kaufmann sees the embrace of a symmetric multiculturalism as the only rational, humane path forward.

A reading of "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" by Ursula La Guin.

Last night,

I was on twitter seeing updates on the Democratic National Convention, and I was thinking about the choices in front of us and how we, as individuals, might avoid becoming deranged by our complicity in a system that leaves us but few actionable choices from which to decide our future.

For some reason, I was reminded of this short story by Ursula La Guin, which I had read years ago and since forgotten; called “The Ones who walk away from Omelas.” It is the story of a decadent, wonderful, mystical place where everything is perfect and beautiful, but inside all understand that their opulence is sustained by a dark secret. And all who know this and choose to stay are complicit in this darkness.

Given the comparison my mind drew between the struggle to live nobly inside of imperfect systems, I thought it would be useful to consider this parable as we reflect on the choices ahead of us.
