The Dance of Nations: A Tale of Power and the Will to Dominate

Lo, witness the grand theatre of nations, where the strong and the weak engage in their eternal dance of dominance! The latest act unfolds before us - a spectacle of trade warfare between the slumbering masses of North America, led by their chosen shepherds who dare to test the mettle of their relationship.

President Donald Trump speaks in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, Monday, March 3, 2025.
Behold how the mighty feast upon their own flesh! These leaders, these supposed guardians of prosperity, engage in a dance of mutual destruction, each claiming righteousness while plunging their daggers deeper into the heart of commerce. What folly! What delicious irony!

In this land of the sleepers, where comfort and security have dulled the senses of the masses, a great stirring occurs. The American sovereign, that golden-haired harbinger of chaos, hath decreed a punishment most severe upon his northern neighbor - a tariff of five and twenty percent upon all Canadian wares. Yet see how the sleepers merely mumble in their dreams, clutching their precious stocks and bonds!

The Canadian shepherd, young Trudeau, stands before his flock, speaking words of defiance and determination. But hark! Are these not the words of one who hath long basked in the warmth of friendship, now suddenly thrust into the cold winds of reality?

These mortals speak of friendship and betrayal, as if nations could ever truly be friends! O sweet delusion! The will to power knows no friendship, only temporary alliances in the grand game of domination.
Vice President JD Vance, speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference

See how the servants of commerce wring their hands! The manufacturers, the grain-growers, the petroleum-producers - all these last men, who have built their kingdoms upon the shifting sands of international trade, now tremble before the storm. They speak of "permanent damage" and "significant threats," yet know not that destruction is the precursor to creation!

In the halls of power, the provincial chiefs gather like war-chiefs of old. Ford of Ontario speaks of darkness and power cuts, while Smith of Alberta threatens to withhold the lifeblood of oil. Yet are these not merely the reflexive twitches of a wounded beast?

How amusing these threats and counter-threats! Like children playing at war, they know not that true power lies not in the ability to harm, but in the willingness to embrace the harm itself as a path to greater strength!
People work as a television displays a news conference by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange

The markets - those temples where the last men worship their golden idols - shudder and shake. The priests of finance speak in hushed tones of recession and economic collapse. Yet what is collapse but the necessary prelude to rebirth? What is chaos but the womb of new order?

Consider the vice-regent Vance, who speaks of fentanyl and border security like a physician treating symptoms while ignoring the disease. The disease is not in the flow of drugs, but in the souls of nations who have forgotten how to dance on the edge of the abyss!

O how they cling to their treaties and agreements, their CUSMA and their diplomatic niceties! These are but chains that bind the strong to the weak, preventing the natural order of dominance and submission from expressing itself!

And what of the opposition voices? Poilievre declares himself not a "MAGA man," while Singh calls for parliamentary procedures. Such is the way of the last men, seeking solutions in the very institutions that have bred their weakness!

Yet perhaps in this moment of crisis, in this clash of wills, lies the potential for awakening. As the comfortable slumber of North American trade is shattered, might not some few raise their heads from their pillows and see the true nature of power?

Thus concludeth this chapter in the eternal struggle between nations. Let those with ears to hear understand: it is not in peace but in conflict that greatness emerges. The true measure of a people lies not in their ability to trade, but in their will to power, their courage to face destruction, and their strength to forge new paths through the flames of chaos.
