That would be the “beta males” referenced by Steve. I have seen a ton of Chicken Little posts over the last few days so let me put up some snippets here. However, let me quote David French who put it better than I could what has been causing my head to shake (and ache) over the vote taken in Britain last week in describing what the “Side of History” really means to Progressives and what their version of “progress” has been these last few decades
I’m old enough to remember when history had a side. History, you see, had chosen to progress toward an international order that de-emphasized international sovereignty, elevated a bureaucratic and technocratic elite, and sought to solve international conflict through a combination of moral and economic pressure. Nations caused wars, so nationalism (and even patriotism) had to be set aside. Democracy unleashed bigotry, so “the people” mattered mainly when they agreed with the elite. It was a system that worked remarkably well for the international upper class. Men and women dedicated to commerce enjoyed unprecedented access to international markets. Activists dedicated to social justice could engineer their societies without ever truly facing the accountability of the ballot box. The logic of the system was self-proving. It would triumph through the sheer force of its virtue.
