It's the start of a new year, and most people I know have either upgraded a device over the holidays or added another screen to the house. That's why I've been thinking more seriously about digital protection. Not just antivirus, but identity and privacy too. At Trigonometry, we've been using WebRoot Total Protection. What stands out straight away is how lightweight it is. It runs quietly in the background, scans fast, and doesn't constantly interrupt you with pop-ups. You genuinely forget it's there, which is exactly how this stuff should work. Total Protection covers real-time antiviruses. blocks malicious websites before you land on them, manages your passwords, and includes identity monitoring with dark web alerts and credit and financial monitoring.
If you've got a family, you can protect multiple people and devices under one plan, from kids to older relatives, and decide exactly who's included. There's also a VPN built in for extra privacy, and WebRoot even offers up to $1 million in expense reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket costs related to identity theft. Importantly, there's 24-7 US-based support if you ever need help restoring your identity.

Congratulations, the multipolar world you ordered is here, and now we all get to suffer the consequences. For several years now, there's been much talk about the end of the post-war order and the coming of a multipolar world. The desirability of this wonderful new arrangement has been pushed by three groups, naive woke leftists, similarly naive isolationists, and of course, and above all, our enemies. Each had their reasons. Western progressives view the world through a simple, warped, but powerful lens. Their approach to global politics is exactly the same as their view of domestic politics and is based on the appealing but misguided idea that success is always and everywhere the product of unearned, ill-gotten privilege.
Their antipathy towards the West, white people, men, Jews, and the rich stems from this basic formula. Whoever is doing well must be doing so at the expense of others. To them, any imbalance in wealth, income, influence, and so forth is necessarily bad and to be corrected. At the domestic level, the culmination of this worldview is their demand for social justice, a forced redistribution of wealth, influence, and opportunity from the oppressors to the oppressed. You don't need to be a Robin DiAngelo acolyte to see how this Marxist dynamic extends to global affairs. Social justice at home becomes global justice abroad. If the world is unequal, which it is, then that must be corrected. The extraordinary ignorance of the world beyond the borders of the safe, peaceful, and civilized countries they live in is extremely helpful in this regard because it prevents them from seeing that peace, stability, and prosperity are the products of culture, science, and innovation.
Instead, they argue that the West's recent dominance is a product of colonialism, racism, and imperialism. They hate the West for being successful and want a multipolar world as both a punishment and a corrective. The isolationists, on the other hand, are primarily an American phenomenon, albeit one which has spread to other parts of the West, along with every other aspect of American culture. I have some sympathy for their instincts, even though they are, in my view, as misguided as the woke left about the way the world actually works. Having traveled extensively around America, I well understand the feeling of a man living a comfortable life in rural Ohio being asked to care about events happening halfway around the world.
