It is not the \"wokerati,\" but their likely victims who are waking up. What they see is how a large number of social trends that may have posed little danger separately-mass migration made more divisive by multiculturalism; the rise of identity politics; the imposition of bureaucratic \"diversity;\" the collapse of Christianity and traditional religious restraints; the sexual revolution; the weakening of the family; radical gender theory and the rising hostility between the sexes; terrorism and its gradual accommodation by democratic governments and institutions; the smothering of national sovereignty by \"global governance;\" the rise of anti-national elites in Western societies; the post-communist crises of conservatism; the extraordinary recent resurrection of \"socialism\" as a social panacea among the young; the economic consequences of environmentalism-all have coalesced into a brewing social revolution that leaves most ordinary people feeling dispossessed in their countries and losing the future. In this series of essays written over the course of a storied career, John O'Sullivan, a former adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and editor of National Review shows how this revolution has emerged and how this revolution can be resisted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn O'Sullivan CBE is President and founder of the Danube Institute in Budapest, Hungary; international editor of Quadrant Magazine in Sydney, Australia; associate editor of the Hungarian Review; a fellow of the National Review Institute; and editor at large of National Review.
