7. Author: Victor Davis Hanson. Title: *The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America*. The discussion shifts to globalization and the "Davos Man,"an elite class that seeks to transcend national sovereignty. These "anointed" individuals gather in places like Davos to push for global government, often using climate change as a crisis to justify singular government powers that override democratic consent. Hanson critiques the "citizen of the world" ideology as antithetical to national pride and traditional customs. He argues that these globalists favor erasing borders to mandate aggregate sameness, which historical precedents suggest can only be achieved through coercion and the use of force. (7)
