Yes, but you have every opportunity to make your ideology mainstream.

I'm not, I'm saying. If you want a say, but you don't want others to have a say, you're selfish.

Yes, but if one believes themselves to be good enough to vote, but not the general population, that's elitism. Not necessarily selfish, but very elitist.

You have the most boring, mainstream and simplistic politics of anyone here, so I paired you with the most boring, mainstream and simplistic film that I could think of.

Oh. Thanks I guess. Personally, I think I'm more Twelve Angry Men (1957). Or at least that's what I aspire to be. At least, insofar as one can aspire to be a film.

I am planning to write a series of my personal hypothesis (prediction) for the political future of Europe and the rest of the world.

The first one will be the The European Hypothesis. I have not started to write it, but I can reveal to you that my prediction is that Europe will be further divided between the progressive Eurocratic faction and the Traditionalist Nation-State faction. In Russia, a conflict will grow as Putin is planning to abdicate by 2024. The conflict between the "elders" (Anti-European conservatives and nationalists) and the "progressives" (Anti-oligarchy and a more friendlier approach to the EU and US) will evaporate as 2024 is closing in. Putin resigns in 2024, as a gesture of democratic fairness, but Russia will be further fragmented and an economic recession will follow. This creates a state of extreme discontent among the Russian populace.

Eventually, the "Duginist" faction within the army manages to persuade the rest of the army that Russia is under a threat and launches a coup. They install a National Bolshevist military general as President. Their aim is now to persuade Greece, Bulgaria, Salvini`s Italy, Hungary, the Russian faction in Ukraine, Belarus and the anti-EU clique in Serbia to join them in order to "conquer the Eurocrats in Brussels". In fact, they are planning to establish an Eurasian Empire which will compete against the US and the West both culturally and militarily.

In China, Xi Jinping has consolidated his Communist dictatorship via the Social Credit System and extreme surveillance of dissidents. From now on, he is intent on competing against the US. The world will become a Mercantilist playground.

I think you need to research more, especially regarding Russia. National Bolshevism has no mainstream credence in army and political circles. The ultimate goal of Russian-led Eurasia does form a mainstay of nationalist geopolitics, but there's no ideological compulsion within Russia to get there. A sort of pragmatic realpolitik is the name of the day, which makes sense. The Siloviki earned their bones in the Soviet Union as Communists, but are mostly conservative and statocratic. They don't exactly ooze with ideology.

Big thonk, outside of Seattle and Portland most of the people around here are probably a lot more conservative than you.

Isn't Bienhalde an anti-liberal, communitarian, traditionalist monarchist? The liberal opinion he seems to have is gay marriage. And gay marriage is not degenerate, so there's no real hypocrisy there. And do you think the rural US is feudal Germany or something? I don't see how the rural US could be more conservative than Bienhalde.
