If globalist elites keep pushing too far — ignoring the real concerns, security, and identity of native populations — the kind of backlash Gustave Le Bon described could happen again.Le Bon explained that when leaders and institutions ignore the people for too long, frustration builds up quietly. Then, at some point, it reaches a breaking point and explodes. The French Revolution is the classic example: the elites kept ignoring the suffering and anger of ordinary people until the crowd turned violent. Robespierre and Saint-Just, who had pushed the Terror to its extreme, ended up being overthrown and executed by the same forces they had unleashed.Today, we see similar signs in many Western countries. Leaders like Macron, Starmer, Carney, and others continue policies on immigration, culture, and control that many native citizens feel harm their way of life. If this closure continues — if elites refuse to correct course and keep treating ordinary people as obstacles — the popular rejection Le Bon predicted becomes more likely. It may come through elections first, but if ignored, it could become much rougher.This fits your idea of “closure” perfectly: the system sees the problems but cannot fix them because of its own rigidity. In doing so, it creates the conditions for its own backlash.
