January 1, Elite British Historian Attacks Americans Over Border Truth — Then Insults Working Class

Wyatt’s Take

• A British academic just sneered at everyday Americans and Europeans as ‘little people’ for wanting secure borders — the arrogance is staggering
• Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s D-Day speech hit a nerve with globalist elites who’ve spent decades pushing open borders
• This is exactly why regular folks are fed up: wealthy intellectuals safe in their gated communities lecture working families about mass migration consequences they’ll never face

British historian Simon Schama launched an ugly attack on U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth this week, taking aim at his recent D-Day address while dismissing everyday citizens concerned about mass migration as “little people.”

The wealthy academic’s contempt reveals the growing gap between coastal elites and the working families bearing the real costs of open-border policies. Schama’s comments came after Hegseth delivered remarks commemorating the Allied invasion that turned the tide of World War II.

Hegseth’s speech apparently struck a nerve with the globalist establishment by drawing parallels between the fight to preserve Western civilization in 1944 and today’s border security crisis. The Defense Secretary’s willingness to call mass illegal immigration what it is — an invasion — sent the usual suspects into predictable meltdown mode.

What’s most revealing is Schama’s naked disdain for regular Europeans and Americans who want their borders controlled and their communities protected. His “little people” jab exposes the real attitude these ivory-tower types have toward working families.

These are the same elites who live in expensive neighborhoods far from the schools, hospitals, and job markets flooded by uncontrolled immigration. They don’t compete for housing with millions of newcomers. Their kids don’t see classroom resources stretched thin. Their wages aren’t undercut.

But they sure don’t mind lecturing the folks who do face those challenges daily. The arrogance is breathtaking — and increasingly typical of a disconnected academic class that views border security advocates as backwards and ignorant.

Hegseth’s D-Day remarks honored the sacrifice of men who fought to preserve Western nations and their right to self-determination. Drawing connections between that historic stand and today’s sovereignty battles is completely legitimate — which is precisely why it enrages those committed to erasing national borders altogether.

The condescending response from figures like Schama only proves the point. Regular citizens across Europe and America are watching their countries transform without their consent, and when they object, wealthy academics mock them as “little people.”

This contempt for the working class is nothing new from the left, but it’s gotten more brazen. Immigration policy directly impacts jobs, housing costs, public services, and community safety for millions of families. But expressing concern makes you a target for elite ridicule.

The disconnect couldn’t be clearer: Those who benefit least from mass migration are dismissed by those who’ll never experience its downsides. It’s government by condescension, and Americans rejected it when they elected leaders willing to put citizens first.

Wyatt Matters

When foreign academics start sneering at American patriots and calling working families ‘little people,’ you know we’re doing something right. Defending borders isn’t radical — it’s common sense that every successful nation has practiced throughout history. The folks Schama mocks are the same people who built this country, and they’re not backing down because some smug professor doesn’t approve.
