    So it's Russia Independence Day today: *** In other news, I have been shadowbanned on Twitter. This basically means that I am invisible on the platform to anybody who doesn't follow me there (that is, all of Twitter minus ~7,000 people), and even they will see my poasts much less frequently. I am attaching the...
  • Hi Anatoly,

    I have a question for you regarding Russia’s youth. On the one hand, they are nothing like the “woke” youth of the West and continue to think political correctness is crazy. On the other hand, I would say that a majority are tired of Putin and Putinism in general. They don’t really seem that concerned about patriotism and Russia’s place in the sun so to say. They seem more concerned about individualistic concerns, primarily with making money and having a good quality of life.

    I’d say a good majority of them tend to be Yabloko sympathisers and desire to be like the West. You only ever hear about corruption from them. So my question is this. After Putin, is it very likely that Russia is going to transform into a new Western country and embrace all of the things from the West? Or is there still a conservatism there from the youth to still think about Russia and preserve it?

    This is another question I wanted to ask as well but do you think in essence related to my first question that nationalism itself can be preserved in the long run? Or is the entire future likely to be individualistic with people disregarding their lands of birth and climbing into some new kind of tower of Babel?

    Many thanks

    After Putin, is it very likely that Russia is going to transform into a new Western country and embrace all of the things from the West? Or is there still a conservatism there from the youth to still think about Russia and preserve it?
     
    No. Russia is reorienting from the West to Eurasia (5 billion people, the biggest and fastest growing economy on the planet). Trade (money) and tourism destinations are being reoriented right now towards non-western countries and there is ongoing import substitution. The West is a declining entity and will continue to be declining under current estimates up to at least 2060, maybe even longer. Thus there will be more eurasian influence in Russia and its businesses, not more western influence.

    Young rus people are apolitical, but also relatively patriotic. The country actually became more conservative during the last 20 years.

    For the youth issue there are various plans in place, such as implementing patriotic education (as per the new Constitution), building more Churches as well as expanding the so called Youth Army (scouts/military education for youth).

    And as long as the West continues to provoke in the near abroad of Russia it just triggers Russia to become more hostile.

    I think Russian politics will likely become more "right wing", in a Western populist sense, after Putin - if this day ever happens. (Currently, most post-communist countries like Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Estonia - have much more "right wing" populist governments, than in Russia; and I don't see how Russia's politics will not go in such a direction after Putin).

    Putin's ideology and policies, are the most similar of all politicians in the world, to Merkel - although with a bit more competent image management (so he can appear on most all sides of political spectrum), but at the same time a more "elitist" economic system than Merkel (as economic beneficiaries are more unequal in Russia than in countries like Germany).

    Putin follows open borders and multiculturalism fanaticism (similar to Merkel) too much for the long-term benefit of the country, but also he has a lot of benefits of political stability and most of the virtues of sensible and common sense leaders.

    Predictability and stability are one of the greatest virtues for country's development, so in this way Putin and Merkel, are much better leaders than their alternatives - partly as result of their stable, predictable and boring responses to everything. For the leader of a country, boring and predictable is better, than "exciting and unpredictable" - as public life is mainly a kind of co-ordination problem for citizens, and especially businesses.

    As far as the relations of the Empire and its sidekicks with Russia are concerned, the law of unintended consequences reigns supreme.

    The Empire had a chance to destroy Russia by infecting it with every malaise of the West in the early 1990s. All the US had to do was embrace compradore Russian elites of that time. The Empire blew its chance miserably.

    In the last six plus years the Empire did everything to strengthen Russia. Naturally, not intentionally, just out of stupidity. It organized a coup in Ukraine in 2014. Crimea did not miss its chance to return to Russia the same year (it unsuccessfully tried to do so many times since 1991). Donbass rebelled and reoriented towards Russia, and now there is zero chance of its return to the Ukrainian cesspool. The Empire introduced sanctions, which greatly strengthened Russian economy, forcing it to develop many areas to increase self-reliance. At the same time sanctions were a bucket of cold water on the heads of compradore elites. Many Russian big thieves became a lot more patriotic: looking at their moronic Ukrainian colleagues they understood that the only thing that can prevent other thieves from stealing your loot is a strong country standing behind you. This also forced Russia to reorient towards Asia, including China. The Empire had no chance against Russia or China alone, but with that de facto alliance it lost even a hope to have a chance. Russian traitorous libtards were never popular (their support was always in single digits), but recent mayhem in the US and its vassals shattered the last illusions in Russia about the West. Most people, including those who don’t approve of Putin and his clique, see it as death throes of the West. Everyone who is smarter than a brick has no desire to die with it.

    Passerby,

    I can see your points and it is working for Russia’s children. I know that patriotic education is quite strong there now in the schools. But what I mean is the Russian millennials. A poll recently came out that most of them would like to emigrate. Some support gay marriage and the main topics on their mind is the economy and corruption.

    The smart ones seem to be aware of the West’s problems and want to find a different path for Russia. But your average IQs I think still feel the West is better then Russia and want to basically copy the West.

    So it is something I think that could come to haunt Russia 20 years down the line. Although to be fairly honest I think trying to enact a Western style welfare state in Russia would be nigh on impossible, especially at this stage.

    From my observation of Russia from the side they are a western civilization and just behind globohomo by some 50 years. The bat shit lefty liberals right now are planting seeds for the take over that is completing it's rounds in the west.

    It does not help it that at their heart Russians seem to be just as liberal as westerners. They still have degeneracy. Their social conservatism does not seem any stronger than it was in US some 50 years ago.

    I am still optimistic for them. First 50 years is still a long time and second west's descent into madness should provide some lessons.

    Dmitry,

    That is somewhat positive to hear. Most of the major responses I was getting from Russian millennials was there desire for change and how they wanted to be like the West. So it is more heartening to know there is the possibility of a populist revival after Putin.

    To be honest, the millennial generation of Russia does seem to be critical of immigration. They see the West going down the tubes and do make fun of it. But at the same time they do have this love of democracy and regularly do talk about “freedom”…

    Politics in Russia has been now a "mono-party democracy", or one-party state. This is why Putin is such a boring centrist and his main job appears as trying to balance as many conflicting interests as possible. In the America equivalent, if Republicans and Democrats become a single party a couple decades ago, then there would be such a centrist president in America - who tries to please both Republicans and Democrats.

    I don't see why the next president, will not try to continue this - which means they will have to be relatively centrist again, without any sudden changes. As this centrism is a systematic result of the different interests in the country.


    To be honest, the millennial generation of Russia does seem to be critical of immigration.
     
    Criticism of immigration policy goes to the opposition, only because Putin has been for 20 years of open-borders immigration supporter - so here is something where opposition can score popularity contests against Putin.

    This is because it is an area where his policy (open borders) does not match public opinion (which wants more selective immigration) - because Putin is balancing more with the wealthy business interests, against the common people.

    Eurasian economic union - which includes completely open borders across full members -. was his favourite strategic project. (The irony of Eurasian economic union, is that countries like Uzbekistan and Tajikistan refused it, despite offers for them to join).

    Central Asian workers were essential for the construction industry, and this is why e.g. Patriarch Kirill is arguing that Russia should accept these immigrants even if they are Muslim. (Anyone with such large construction interests).

    The next president after Putin, should move more to a selective immigration - something more like Malcolm Turnbull would be desirable.


    In your opinion, what is the political outlook for Russian millennials is they are not liberal?

     

    In what sense do you mean by "liberal"?

    Also note the long-term trends of the country. Population is rapidly aging one - an aging population trends to conservatism and is good for future political stability.

    In the first decade of the new millennium, there had rapid embourgeoisement. However, this was mainly a produce of rising oil and commodity prices.

    The last decade, embourgeoisement of population has stagnated. There are the economic conditions for some bourgeois "liberal hipsters", but not large enough waves of such to make so much impact on politics - Ikea can be affordable, but most of the population is far too poor to adopt the lifestyle that breeds Scandinavian politics. Economic conditions are not wealthy enough for the Western European pattern of converting rednecks to hipsters.

    -

    There are a couple uncertain trends though.

    There is an urbanization of the population continuing, but this is not accompanied by much enrichment. What is the political consequences of the masses of people flooding into megacities, is not clear for Russia

    Thanks passerby for giving me some hope for the Russian youth. I must confess it seems to be Russian Zoomers and the kids growing up now who are going to be the most patriotic which is a good thing as Russia desperately needs more patriotism if it is going to continue to succeed.

    However there is going to be that continued lingering demand of dealing with corruption and providing a better quality of life for the population that is going to continue to make in roads on a political front.

    The thing is about Russia is that I don’t think it could ever go full on libtard due to the nature of the country and how it has historically developed.

    Also even if they did want to open the doors and flood the country with third world immigration, I doubt millions of black subsaharan Africans are going to want to settle in say Novosibirsk.

    Therefore the only future Russia can realistically achieve is some future form of Putinism followed by more investments into the local economy. They need native babies to live in far off regions, they need more money to do this and they need to keep their tech geniuses from leaving. A future strong soft power cultural industry would really help the country’s economy too.

    Just trying to repeat what the West has been doing never seems to work out for Russia in the long run. Like smart Russians have said to me, “we need to do this on our own terms and not on the West’s.”

    Dimitry,

    This is good news to hear. I was concerned by some of the reports I had been hearing of the Russian youth, particularly with the protests against the government. However it is nice to hear there is patriotism within this group and the future isn’t as libtarded as I thought it would be.

    Regarding economic prospects and liberalism, I think it ultimately depends on the country. In America, major mixing and prosperity is a no brainer but in countries such as Japan or South Korea, they prefer to still marry fellow natives or at a push, marry someone of their fellow racial group.

    Israel though is the best case scenario as they have been able to promote economic prosperity along with still promoting that nationalistic mindset and have still been successful in raising the birth rates.

    Russia is going to have to improve its economic performance and I am sure the vast majority of people desire this very strongly. It’s just the case of being able to successfully do it with a patriotic mindset still in focus before the SJW disease starts to set in.

    Now in regards to immigration, I’m not entirely sure of the situation in Russia but from my own observations of Putin, he does seem to be more concerned about keeping Russia’s more Slavic character intact compared to Western governments. He’s been making noises in that direction anyway and I don’t think, although this is just my opinion, that he desires the great replacement scenario like Western countries enthusiastically desire.

    To give you an example, I remember during the days of Gordon Brown that it was revealed during Tony Blair’s time in office, the government had deliberately promoted and invited millions of third world migrants into the UK in order to, and I quote, ‘rub the rights nose in diversity.’ the government actively wanted to create a new multiracial British citizen. Social engineering to perfection, go figure.

    I hope you don’t mind me asking you Dimitry but do you have any predictions for Russia? You made some good points about the country probably going more conservative as it ages but do you think it can successfully revive itself in the long run without mass immigration? And do you think that SJWism can be averted there?

    Putin wants surely to maintain an interethnic harmony, but he also balances interests of the business, especially construction, which use a lot of foreign labour.

    If you see melanf above is writing about how few immigrants are attaining Russian citizenship and "how low" such numbers are. But it's directly opposite of modus operandi of foreign labour in Russia - these people avoid paperwork, residence permits, etc, as much as possible. And the authorities also generally ignore them. This is real open borders kind of situation with these immigrants.

    Tajiks and Uzbeks and Kirgizs, are not some Norwegians and Japanese. They are not people who like to write paperwork. They don't register with authorities, apply for permits, or follow regulation. They often flood into a single apartment, as many as they can. And the authorities are generally complicit with this, and they seem to allow them to come and go, as they like.

    I think ones which would apply for Russian citizenship, are only a small minority of more integrated ones - e.g. perhaps ones of this nationality who have a Russian wife and want to settle into Russian culture.

    At the same time, the authorities are watching these communities and intervene in relation to things like drug trafficking and Islamist radicalization. So, the authorities know about them - but they usually only intervene if it's something more serious than lack of paperwork.

    If Tajikistan and Uzbekistan joined to the Eurasian economic union, it wouldn't make much difference from the present situation.

    After Putin - probably something a bit more like you see in "Visegrad Group" countries, in terms of internal political views. There is an overall less redneck and nationalist population than in Ukraine, but not necessarily than in Czech Republic, Poland or Hungary. Although in Russia, it will likely always be more centrist because of a larger country, with more diverse interests that the government has to balance. In terms of foreign policy, I think the default setting is the same compromised balance between friendly and unfriendly with the West. The Primakov positions which Putin has followed are probably systematic now (rather than reflecting any particular preferences of Putin).

    I wouldn’t entirely rule out all hope for Britain as the silent majority is very furious about what is happening with the vandalisation of statues and the weak police response. I’ve seen a lot of patriotic tweets on twitter, showing people’s rage about what is happening.

    However there is one caveat in all of this. the vast majority of these patriots subscribe to the civic nationalist view point. They like to drag out the odd patriotic black and fawn over how great, proud and patriotic multi-kulti Britain is.

    If I am to offer an opinion, I think that the Anglo-Saxon era in Britain is over. Ethnic nationalism is pretty much dead in the UK. I think the country will eventually revive on some kind of Johnsonian patriotic civic nationalist platform but overall the diversity is there to stay. Which is a shame but what’s done is done.

    I find that even most "right wing" British people have no time for ethnic nationalism. I don't think most are even particularly opposed to non-white immigration as long as the immigrants share our "values". That basically means anyone but Muslims.

    When it comes to immigration in Russia, am I right in thinking it is a lot more controlled there then it is in the UK? From what I am aware, most of the Uzbeks and co usually come to make money and then leave, like one big revolving door of cheap labour. There’s no actual free welfare money for them so their not actually inclined to stay in Russia and pop out 7-10 kids from what I am aware.

    Even still, it is a problem that I think will be resolved with new technological advances. Within 15-20 years, I think alot of these jobs that demands cheap labour will be automated anyway so there won’t be the demand to keep on importing people to do the work. I think Putin is sort of hinting at this as well. Big problems though for the West as when it hits them, they are going to have a useless supply of once cheap labour now with nothing to do.

    Regarding Russia’s future, I think the Visegrad scenario is a very good future for the country. Do you have any thoughts to share regarding population mobility? From what I am aware, most of the Russian youth are leaving Siberia and elsewhere to go and live in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Do you think there is a chance to reverse this trend in the future? I think that could be a big challenge.

    I wouldn't entirely rule out all hope for Britain as the silent majority is very furious about what is happening with the vandalisation of statues and the weak police response. I've seen a lot of patriotic tweets on twitter, showing people's rage about what is happening.

    However there is one caveat in all of this. the vast majority of these patriots subscribe to the civic nationalist view point. They like to drag out the odd patriotic black and fawn over how great, proud and patriotic multi-kulti Britain is.

    If I am to offer an opinion, I think that the Anglo-Saxon era in Britain is over. Ethnic nationalism is pretty much dead in the UK. I think the country will eventually revive on some kind of Johnsonian patriotic civic nationalist platform but overall the diversity is there to stay. Which is a shame but what's done is done.

    I find that even most “right wing” British people have no time for ethnic nationalism. I don’t think most are even particularly opposed to non-white immigration as long as the immigrants share our “values”. That basically means anyone but Muslims.

    Yeah I am in agreement. The UK has no time for ethnic nationalism. The society as a whole has pretty much accepted the multi-ethnic society and will fight to defend it.

    If you actually look at how the UK society is now developing, it really does resemble the old Anglo-Saxon invasion. The native white Brits have become like the ancient Celts, living on the outskirts in their villages and towns where as the cities have become the hot spots of multi-kulti Britain. I always felt that it was like living on a native reservation and as soon as you left the shires, the reality sadly hit you in the face.

    To be honest, though there is still some potential light on the horizon for the UK at least. I think people overall are fed up of mass immigration because of the economic impact it is having. It is simply unsustainable for the country. I think at some point the country is going to drift ever more to the right and start to restrict immigrants when there is a sufficient pressure point available (think UK and Brexit). Eventually the government will start having to cut the tap on welfare spending and will adopt probably a more anti-islamic point of view.

    With this in mind, we may see sort of a voluntary repatriation, particularly amongst the muslim community. The country in effect could whiten up. I think that the UK is starting to reach its peak of being able to support a large population and more populism will start to become the order of the day there.

    Sure, I am extremely anti-racist and don't judge people by nationality. If I wasn't, it would be strange to be a regular writer on this multiracial website - which is owned and named after a brown American Jew whose face looks suitable for the streets of Istanbul or Cairo, or to be following a Middle Eastern looking blogger of Caucasian aristocratic roots.

    Neither I don't remember meeting anyone in real life (as opposed to internet sites) who could say something like "I am concerned about the future of Russia’s racial makeup." Writing such kind of sentences even in quotes makes me feel a bit unpleasantly Hitlerian.

    On the other hand, my political views are more "right wing" than most people I talk to, across different countries, and in both personal and professional life. I say one of main mistakes by Putin - his open immigration borders policy, along with his external policy. Similarly, main thing I oppose about politics in Western Europe (open borders immigration, as opposed to selective immigration). Main mistake of Merkel - open borders immigration. Etc. Those views to oppose open borders immigration are not to say, that I support racism - I am a very anti-racist person in reality. More interesting European connection would be to a Chinese person who can play a Mozart sonata, than some Austrian who does not know their culture - i.e. the important thing is the civilization level.


    you aware of what ethnicity (((Dmitry))) is?

     

    My racial makeup is Russian with Jewish roots. I would like to use these Yiddish brackets you gave to my name. But I sadly can't claim to be a real Jew, as Jewish roots are that my grandfather has Jewish roots (whereas to be a Jew in the real sense, has to be matrilineal). By family record I am 87,5% Russian and 12,5% Jewish. However, when a close relative had a DNA test, the results were a quite different proportions to that, and also a large proportion of our genetics are from other (non-Russian) nationalities our family didn't know they were descended from.

    I can understand what you are saying and you have some interesting points. My own personal point of view is that a bit of immigration is ok and could be beneficial to society. However, on the other hand, I would not wish to see a mass stream of entirely legal immigration that ends up turning the host societies into modern day tower of Babels either as I quite enjoy the diversity of the planet and would hate to see all countries one day become one big homogeneous blob of sameness.

    Also regarding ethnic identity, I do feel it is something that Europeans will have to discover and embrace for themselves at some point if they wish to survive this century. It does not have to be radical or extreme but something similar to what the Jews and the East Asian countries have. If European societies can stop being so damn individualistic and cherish what makes them unique and special, that would be a step in the right direction for these countries to actually revive themselves. Except for the Anglo countries as these lands actually have always desired foreign tastes more and that is a fact of life.

    What I do like about Israeli nationalism is the concept that you are part of this tribe, this family, and you are constantly doing your best to help it and defend it no matter the cost. Perhaps this mindset would simply be too extreme for the European mind to handle but some elements of it would certainly help in reviving Europe.

    I agree though that America and Europe have adopted a collectivistic zeal these days. I see no difference between what the Red Guard of China or the Taliban were doing and what is taking place right now. It is like the West’s very own cultural revolution. I think though the roots of this all boils down to how individualistic these societies were and how without meaning they had become. They needed a new religion and lo and behold, they now have one.

    Yes, I too can see what your getting at and I did mention earlier some of this mindset would be considered too extreme for the European mind. However, elements of the Israeli example combined with what the Russians are doing could work out very well as a patriotic successor.

    Also regarding the Israeli method, it would actually be sort of beneficial to the Russians if they did try to establish some sort of kibbutz culture and frontier patriotism as Russia has one big huge problem. Apart from Moscow and St. Petersburg, the rest of the country is dying. Siberia is rapidly losing young people as they go into the big two looking for work. I’d say that within a generation, Siberia will die. Same with some other Russian cities in the European part as well.

    If Russia does want to remedy this, considering the landscape of the territory, it will have to adopt something of an Israeli mindset in order to help these areas grow again. Otherwise in the long term, Russia is probably going to lose more territory.

    If you have a normal city life - and do not work outside -, you will feel more cold most of the time in Ireland, than you will in Siberia. In the winter, you are mainly inside buildings, and how cold you feel is more function of the temperature inside buildings, than of temperatures outside. Siberian cities have comparatively warm inside buildings and heating.

    As for African immigrants - they will not immigrate to Siberia. They want to immigrate (like everyone) to the most wealthy liberal welfare countries, e.g.: Sweden, Germany, Norway, UK, etc.

    No it is true that Russians are more concerned about the Chinese potentially taking over Siberia. Russia, if I do recall, took the Vladivostok region from China in the 19th century. The big question is though would many Chinese even want to move into Siberia? It’s not exactly the old feudal society that it once was with at least 500 million people becoming part of the middle class (a huge achievement I’d like to add). With low birthrates and expectations of a high quality of life, I cannot really see the Chinese scrambling en masse either to move into Siberia.

    From what I recall reading, the Russian settlers of Siberia were mainly the descendants of the Cossacks, criminals and engineers/scientists as part of the USSR. It was sort of an Australia really and no one really wanted to go settle there. So who knows what is the fate of Siberia in the long run…

    It could potentially go back to the natives but the problem is they are small in number and are very integrated into Russian society. Plus from what I’ve read about them, the native Siberians seem to be rather anti-immigrant just as much as the mainstream Russian population.

    The fate of Siberia is certainly one that deserves more discussion by Karlin as it is a very interesting question.

When the Germans advanced on Moscow, it was sufficiently cold to freeze the soil and allow their tanks to move everywhere. When Russian counter-offensive started, it got warmer, so that Soviet tanks could only move on those few roads that existed, as the mud elsewhere obstructed their movement.

    Eh, I think it's more complicated than that. As long as the various invader groups together do not constitute a large enough force to go after the grand prize, which is overall control of France, they will instead battle among each other for lesser prizes such as control over local territories, drug traffic, etc. The reason they are fighting each other over such control rather than the natives is that the natives are effete eloi who aren't even in the game, lol.

    However, once demographics are advanced enough to allow the invaders to think of having a crack at the jackpot, they will definitely unite to do so. It's the old story of "me against my brother, my brother and me against my cousin, me my brother and my cousin against the world." However much the Sub Saharans may hate the North Africans and the North Africans may hate the Sub Saharans, they realize that subjugating the whites is the end game and that an alliance will the necessary to achieve it. This is already apparent today in voting patterns and anti state authority organized violence, where blacks and Arabs form mixed mobs to attack the police, burn vehicles and buildings, and deliver beatdowns to whites.

    Once the whites are subjugated I'm sure cracks within the alliance will be apparent almost immediately, but that will be of little comfort to the whites at that point.

    Well, considering the doomsday scenario you have presented, I would say that an Iran sort of scenario would emerge after the chaos has died down. The remaining whites (most in such a drastic scenario would flee east) would convert to Islam and would sort of join together with the intelligent Arabs and form a caliphate. If you look at modern day Iran, the elite on the top are usually quite pale where as the masses tend to be brown. I would expect this situation to occur.

    However, if I am honest, personally I don’t think it will get to this stage. Why are Muslims and blacks in Europe en masse? Because they want money. Europe is running out of money to pay for those cozy welfare states. I suspect somewhere down the pipeline identitarian parties will take power and basically just cut off the money supply.

    A fertility rate of 3 or 4 children is out of the question for Russia but a rate of 2.1 or 2.2 is definately achievable. In 1987 Russia had a 2.2 fertility rate so clearly the Russian culture in 1987 was replacing itself, it can do so again under the right conditions.

    It all depends on what the Russian youth want.

    This is a potential good point about Russia. I did just read a prediction about Russian demography stating that the country could rise to the mythical 2.01 by 2030 – 2040. It is entirely possible with this scenario when a lot of women get into their 30s and want a baby so it could lead to a baby boom by then.

    I think though there is a huge factor involved and that is the economy. Russia’s economy right now is not doing so great. The government certainly needs to do more in reviving it so people can afford to have more kids. If the economy doesn’t start to improve within the next decade or so, we could expect another baby glut.

    Still, Russia is nowhere near Ukraine which itself is a dying country entirely. I honestly have no idea how this country is going to survive in the long run…

    Russia had a fertility rate of 2.22 in 1987. If it could be done then it can be done again.

  • @Anonymous (n)
    Absent mass immigration, low fertility isn't as problematic as people make it out to be. Every single high IQ, relatively prosperous ethnic group is today either at or just slightly off its all time population peak. The Japanese, Polish and Koreans can stand to lose half their population and still be far more numerous than they have been for the vast majority of the thousands of years they've existed as distinct peoples.

    It's a dumb fallacy to argue that unless a country's population is either growing or maintaining its all time peak, that country's people must be headed towards extinction. This is especially true in a world where ALL high IQ populations are falling more or less in tandem, as it means the relative power levels are not changing. Whether the low IQ groups are exploding in size within the confines of their own borders is irrelevant. Ten billion Africans are no more a threat to the Japanese than one billion Africans. The only threat to the Japanese would be a Japanese decision to let in Africans, but that would be a case of self imposed suicide rather than anything to do with exigencies created by demographic trends.

    If anything, I'd argue we've reached a point where declining populations are desirable and would lead to higher living standards in the long term if handled properly. Automation and other technologies are increasingly decoupling productive capacity from population size. A similar trend is visibly occurring in military power as well. The only real argument to be made against low fertility rates is the problem of pay as you go pensions, but I'm certain that this problem, while real, can be solved by means other than a Ponzi scheme of ever increasing population size, let alone self destruction by immigration.

    Replies: @Hartnell, @Wency, @EldnahYm

    You know I have also thought about this and I tend to concur with you that increasing automation makes having children as an essential to the economy not really that important. It even will deter immigration in the future as well since there will be no economic need to import millions of people. Russia is trying to aim for this where as the US is stuck firmly in woke culture so will struggle with millions unemployed in the future. Escape from LA doesn’t look like science fiction anymore.

    On the flip side, you could end up seeing more inter ethnic marriages. Fewer people means fewer mates means more outside marriages. The Faroe Islands, despite having high fertility, has had cases of men with no wives so they marry abroad. So for those who do wish to see the group live on, it maybe impossible in the long run without some kind of ethno-patriotism which I think is alien to the European mind. Might get away with it amongst the Russians but the rest of Europe I think really doesn’t care…or would look in horror at such an idea…even if it wasn’t forced…

    I'm not sure where you're getting that notion from. As it stands, the Slavs are the only "whites" who have any hope of surviving as a free people beyond the 21st century, although if I were a Slav I'd be rather insulted at being grouped into that slave-race category.

    It's by no means a guarantee, but if the Eastern/Central Europeans react to globohomo pressure to self destruct via immigration by letting go of historical grievances and realigning with Russia, then you have a very viable Slav power-center that can hold its own against the globohomo West and not get bullied within its alliance with China. A Slavic block stretching from Poland in the west all the way to Vladivostok in the east, containing >200 million ethnic Slavs in control of all the resources of Russian Eurasia and armed with the second most powerful nuclear arsenal in the world is more than enough to hold off the third worldized West cuckosphere for however long the latter can last before spontaneously combusting into Haiti level dysfunction.

    Depends on how isolationist and nationalist the Slavs want to be though. Whether we like it or not, we do live in a globalised world. People can travel freely and amongst some Slavs, all they want is the West, patriotism be damned.

    That said however, the more stupid the West gets, the more the Slavic states feel threatened and pull up the drawbridge. Amongst the youth, there is a desire to replicate the high quality of life the West has had but the idea of going down the full Globo Homo path disturbs them as well. So maybe that will be a saving grace for Eastern Europe.

Europe lied to itself as it is the right thing to do because of the past and obviously humanitarian concerns. Russians simply do not care and want the money reserved for them and nobody else. So honestly, I strongly doubt a refugee horde is going to appear at Russia’s doors.

So that in itself means within the next generation, the children from these relationships will start to appear more white and assimilate even more into the dominant mainstream.

    It’s not just the women who have more feminine features but also the men. I tend to notice a more masculine look amongst Western men and women but when it comes to the east, both genders tend to have more feminine features in their faces. This also is an interesting post because I am aware that in Russia, the women are naturally the strongest gender with the men being the weakest.

    I'm not sure if that isn't traditional patriarchy in some contexts: needing women for validation and support is something expected even in a very patriarchal culture such as Japan, where women were considered the "social glue" to presumably soften and anchor the the greater initiative of men to the graces of civilization. Or even in the feminist-ish writings of Sylvia Plath who objected: "A woman is expected to be the place the arrow launches from; a man is the arrow."

    Adam Smith also wrote of rather extreme examples of such in the Highland Scottish, where women took on huge amounts of ownership of the family, and men were expected to fight and hunt; this extended to bragging about the idleness of their men.

    It did actually. The remaining Romans eventually evolved into the Italian people and pretty much assumed much command and dominance within the Catholic Church, forming much important decision making over the various successor Germanic kingdoms. They also pretty much started the Renaissance that went ahead in reshaping European culture for centuries to come. I’d actually say in many aspects the Romans really did make a come back. Not to the same extent as the Roman Empire but they did and had a huge influence. Even to this day Italy is pretty much a hot bed of culture that has given birth to pizza, unique forms of art, culture, etc. Many things still came from Italy that lives on with us to this day.

    The thing is, perhaps hilariously, the Romans weren't actually the initiators of much culture.

    The unique aspects of Roman culture mostly have not survived - with some major exceptions in terms of law, where Roman law and definitions of ownership enduring to this day. Classic Republic Romans were essentially a highly fascist state with a strong emphasis on engineering that would eventually gave us aqeducts, early piping, etc and notions of gravitas and collectivism(Roman legionaries actually threw their own bodies into pikes, suicidially, with the explicit hope of dragging down the phalanx for their fellows). And of course, dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.

    Much of that did not endure, Greek individualism and artistic culture gradually overtook Rome itself, Romans themselves took on a creation myth from Greek mythology with Aeneas, "realistic" forms were gradually replaced by idealized sculpting, etc.

    Renaissance scholars would later "rediscover" Greco-Roman culture to which they would embellish significantly, sometimes adding even an Egyptian component as seen with Hermes Trismegistus. These days, Italy, especially Southern Italy, isn't really known either for its engineering or for its culture of dignified restraint.

    I don't know if any of the other Scandinavian commenters have remarked upon it, but I think Denmark's attempt to deal with the ghetto problem is from the perspective of honest Liberalism is interesting ideologically (though since it proceeds from the premises of Liberalism still flawed).

    While it won't solve the fundamental dilemmas of a universalistic nationalities policy, it at least contributes to the legitimisation of the state pursuing action and the idea of that the clannish metics cannot use individual rights they do not believe as a shield.

    Denmark has compiled this “ghetto list” annually since 2010; the criteria are higher than average jobless and crime rates, lower than average educational attainment and, controversially, more than half of the population being first or second-generation migrants. The government essentially sees these neighbourhoods as irremediable urban disasters, and in May 2018 it proposed dealing with them by mass eviction and reconstruction. The homes of up to 11,000 social housing tenants could be on the chopping block.

    [...]

    In addition, the law itself applies differently in these neighbourhoods. The first stage of the government’s so-called ghetto deal set higher penalties for crimes, and allowed for collective punishment – by eviction – of entire families if one of their members commits a criminal act.

    Other laws seem designed to force the integration in Danish society of immigrant communities. Pre-school children must spend at least 25 hours a week in state kindergartens with a maximum migrant intake of 30%, and face language tests. Otherwise their families’ benefits can be revoked.

    But the most stringent part of the plan came into force on 1 January 2020, when these areas must slash their public housing stock to no more than 40%. To achieve this within 10 years, entire blocks will be emptied and converted into private and co-operative housing, from which people on low incomes will be barred. In some cities (though not Copenhagen) the blocks will simply be demolished.

    Current tenants will be offered alternative accommodation, but no control over its location, quality or cost. Those who refuse can now simply be evicted. Adding insult to injury, the eviction and renovation plans will be paid for from proceeds from a fund paid into by public housing tenants themselves.

    A note on how the Danish government defines "Western" and "Non-Western" groups:

    Western - Anglosphere +EU and associated states like Norway, Switzerland, Andorra, etc.

    Non-Western: Ex-Yugoslavia minus Slovenia and Croatia, Russia, Ukraine, Bielorussia, rest of the world.

    Not perfect since there are some false positives and negatives but capable for working measures.

    Currently the definition of "Danish origin" is: At least one parent is born in Denmark and possesses Danish citizenship (born or acquired) as well as no dual citizenship.


    I thought that would lead to false positives where Non-Western decendants are classified as Danish but this chart seems to separate them into "Children of decendants: Danish origin" (the red part). (I remember there was some debate over how to prevent the false positives, but was not aware that it was implemented).

    Out of all of the Scandinavian countries, I always tend to find Denmark is the more conservative when it comes to immigration. I’ve spoken to Danes in the past and compared to the Swedes, most of them had a negative opinion on immigration, particularly from the Islamic world. What is more surprising is that this attitude stretches back into the early 2000s, well before the Alt Right and Identitarism started to become more mainstream.

    Overall, I think Denmark has the potential to survive. I think that they are heavily limiting the immigration there already. I think that if they can successfully get their native birth rates to replacement level (which is feasible as they do have high birth rates there) and with a strict integration focus, they could essentially survive as a white majority society with a small non-white minority that eventually ‘whitens up’ so to speak.

    Also some interesting news. Due to the recent BLM riots, I’ve noticed on twitter alot of your average and mainstream Brits actually showing what I’d call white Identitarian signs. It’s something you’d only find say on white nationalist sites 10 years ago but these days, more seem to be sympathising with white identity politics.

    Yes, Denmark has done a good job in heavily regulating immigration. I think the population is still 90 percent ethnic Danish. They also keep getting more tough on immigrants due to the influence of the Danish People’s Party continually having a role in government. So all in all, I think Denmark has a chance to survive.

    As for Eastern Europe, I think their leaders are really stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, they do want to reject immigration and keep their countries a native as they possibly can. On the other, due to the mass emigration of their youth to the West, they are stuck with huge labour shortages and need migrants.

    It all depends on how they handle this. The Russian method of immigration actually works as it is a revolving door policy. The Central Asians go to Russia for work, they earn money and go back home as wealthier people. That immigration could work for the Visegrad group.

    If they decide to go for a fully legalised multi-kulti society in the long run, then as you know we are looking at the Visegrad states going down the Western European path. If that is the case, they are about 30 years behind.

    They will argue “well they are doing the jobs we won’t do and it is all legalized” but the West also accepted legalised migrants to do the dirty jobs to begin with too. Many of these once working communities soon devolved into slum areas 3 generations on. As we see with the North Africans in France, the Pakistani communities in the UK, etc, etc.

    Let’s hope Visegrad continues to learn the lessons from the West and restricts the immigration to the bare essential and follows more the Russian method.

    There is a huge question mark when it comes to Russia. Right now under Putin, it is following a more patriotic high water mark but it remains to be seen after Putin what direction the country is going to take on next. A big problem is that you do have a generation of Russian youth who still idolise “Democracy” and “Liberalism” and want Russia to follow the same path, naively thinking that if they do so, they will get to have the quality of life Westerners had during the late 20th century.

    On the other hand, you do have more of the youth put off by the current situation and realise that the West is going down the wrong path and Russia should find another way. However on all sides there is alot of criticism now about Putin. So whether that is concerning criticism of Putin’s ideas or just the corruption I’m not too sure. But I do fear Russia could, unless something major comes along, join the Western rot if it is not too careful.

    However, considering how quickly the West is deteriorating, I think this might be enough to put Russia off the West for good. But even I am resigned to the fact that Russia is at this moment in time Europe’s last great hope. If she goes, the party is over for good.

    More wet dreams about modern Russia
    which was created by theCIA
    agents who had an entire floor within the Economics Ministry of Russia in the 1990s
    planning the future and here is the result:

    "Analysts at the Higher School of Economics and the Vnesheconombank Institute for Research and Expertise first estimated the concentration of financial assets and savings in the hands of 3% of Russia's wealthiest population. In 2018, these 3% accounted for 89% of all financial assets, 92% of all term deposits and 89% of all cash savings."

    "What we believe about the salience of race and racial differences, we know, since we have the data and statistics, the evidence of history, everything, to back us up."

    Whites are only 10% of the world's population and the only race in population decline (creating only 7% of the world's babies), yet are the most industrious and innovative race the world has known. Whites unlocked the secrets of DNA and relativity, launched satellites, created automation, discovered electricity and nuclear energy, invented automobiles, aircraft, submarines, radio, television, computers, medicine, telephones, light bulbs, photography, and countless other technological miracles. Whites were the first to circumnavigate the planet by ship, orbit it by spacecraft, walk on the moon, probe beyond the solar system, climb the highest peaks, reach both poles, exceed the sound barrier, descend to the oceans depths... Blacks cannot even feed themselves.

    Whites created every country for Blacks, but now have to provide food, medical, financial, and engineering aid to every one. Blacks cannot survive without White charity.

    No pre-contact Black society ever created a written language, or weaved cloth, or forged steel, or invented the wheel, or plow, or devised a calendar, or code of laws, or system of measurement, or math, or built a multi-story structure, or sewer, or drilled a well, or irrigated, or created any agriculture, or built a road, or sea-worthy vessel. They never domesticated animals, or exploited underground natural resources, or produced anything that could be considered a mechanical device.

    Blacks were still living in the Stone Age when Whites discovered them just 400 years ago.

    Blacks are the oldest race, so they should be the most advanced — but they never advanced at all. Sub-Saharan Africans never made any contribution to the world. Everything they have was given to them by Whites. Blacks lived alone in Africa, a vast continent with temperate climates and abundant resources for 60,000 years so they cannot blame slavery, racism, colonialism, culture, environment, or anything else for their failures.

    This is the easiest question to answer on why blacks did not advance compared to the other races and it is very simple. They had no reason too. You see, Africa is a very comfortable continent to live in with no major pressures (until relatively recently that is). Black people had everything they ever needed. Enough animals to provide food and clothes. A good temperature so they did not have to worry about building strong foundations to keep warm in. Large spaces of land where disease did not roam as freely and wars, whilst still available, happened at lesser frequency compared to elsewhere. From a Human evolutionary point of view, the black man was living in a garden of Eden. He just did not need to advance.

    Now compare this to the Europeans. The Humans who settled Europe had to deal with it being the smallest continent in the world so essentially tribes were more cramped together meaning more war. Disease can spread more easily. The continent gets cold, very cold, so they need to develop tools to make more warmer accommodation and clothes. You have more famines due to the weather. Oh great, the guy next door wants to your stuff and is coming close so you best get more weapons and quickly to fight him off. Wait, I can make a better weapon to defend myself with, this will keep him away. But now I need money to maintain my weapons and defences. Here comes trade and economic development.

    So basically what we have here is the tale of two peoples. One had everything he needed and did not develop. The other was struggling very hard and had to develop and advance in order to survive. As is history.

    The big problem now is the man who did not develop now wants the other guys stuff but does not know how to properly maintain it due to he needs to go through his own evolution to attain it. The other guy is letting him have his stuff because he has reached an existential crisis where he his claiming he has no right to exist. That is basically the huge problem.

    They are all demoralized - as we know, demoralization is permanent and irreversible, but not heritable. It's why Russia today isn't globohomo, despite the OG commie revolution definitely being very globohomo - they inadvertedly had all the spreaders of demoralization executed. The communist party itself purged itself of the demoralized by the time Stalin came to power.

    Such is the scenario here, whoever "wins". If whites win immediately, it's over, and from then on business as usual.

    If antifa wins (BLM can't win, too incompetent), they terrorize whites until what happened in the USSR happens - from extremely anti-russian korenizatsiya to maximum russification. 1st generation will be very autochauvinist, the second generation very chauvinist instead.

    I’d argue in essence we are in the second generation. The first who started to really create this mess was the baby boomers. Gen X never really seemed too bothered and even downright critical at times. It’s the Millennials who are the true second generation and they are going full blown young pioneers. As a majority, they unfortunately cannot be persuaded. They are too collectivistic in their outlook. I would not be surprised if the establishment told them to do kamikaze strikes in the name of “diversity”, they would even hesitate.

    The Zoomers are interesting however. I wouldn’t call them nationalists but they are becoming more sceptical or even critical of the system. This usually happens in the third generation, as it was in the USSR. The system usually collapses when the third generation stops believing in it.

There was no actual laws against it and I do know Russians did (and still do) intermarry say with Tartars. It’s just that Russia has always been socially conservative, even the surrounding countries and groups within Russia, that race mixing itself is more rare as people voluntarily prefer not to do it en mass.

    Yeah it is a nonsense story. America had a law that stated you could not marry outside of your race (obviously was repealed with the Loving case) and apartheid South Africa went a step further even, forbidding not only marriage but even having sex outside of your racial group. If you were caught even having a random non-white hook up, you went to prison.

    Now comparing this to the Soviet Union, there were no such laws in place. Obviously as one poster pointed out they had issues with marriage to foreigners which was mainly for ideological reasons. However for all intents and purposes, there was no law or even punishment for actually marrying or sleeping outside of your racial group. So compared to America or apartheid South Africa, the Soviet Union was actually pretty liberal in that regard.

    You know it’s funny but when I talk to Russians today and ask them how people living in the country view race mixing, it’s actually still viewed as something most people would prefer not to do as a majority. I’m not just talking about the whites but actually the various Asian groups living throughout the country. Native Siberians prefer to marry their own group, same with Tartars, same even with Uzbekis and Tajiks (unless they desperately want citizenship to which they try to marry a white girl but usually it’s rare). So despite living together for hundreds in years on the steppe, the vast majority have not actually mixed together into one homogenous mass but instead have stayed rather tribal which is interesting to view from not only a nationalistic but also demographic perspective as well.

    I think this whole “let’s mix the world into one big coffee coloured race” is a uniquely American phenomenon. Out of all the people I have met, I’d say the Anglos are the biggest race mixers out there, especially amongst the men. But if you look back in Anglo history, it’s always been a phenomenon. During the British Empire, it was quite common for soldiers and officers to have sex with natives in the newly found colonies, even marrying the higher up caste such as in British India. So I think therefore if any group is going to mix itself into something else, it’ll be the Anglos.

    No offense, but this post is dumb. It's quite common for invading soldiers to bang women wherever they go, it's not an Anglo phenomenon. Whole societies(Latin American specifically, though also some Polynesian societies) were formed this way. In the case of Anglo settlers societies, they were formed more by folk migrations and had less mixing.

    Saying Anglos today are more likely to mix is trivial anyway since Anglo societies are full of immigrants.

    Not a problem, you posted a very interesting question and it has been a topic that has been on my mind as well recently. Anyway, when it comes to Russia, I wouldn’t say it is a Democracy anymore then the U.S or UK. The thing is – Democracy never works anyway. It’s a lie and always has been. The only difference is who actually runs the democracy.

    Now in Russia, the system is pretty much entirely run by Putin. As Russians have told me before, Putin is a strong king and Russians throughout their history have always needed a strong leader to successfully run the country. Putin is in effect no more different then say Rurik, Vladimir the Great, Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, even Stalin and Brezhnev. But getting back to Putin and his power, essentially every decision made goes through Putin. His government relies on him to make decisions, whether good or bad. As one Russian told me, “Putin knows how to be King.”

    So it’s not really a true democracy in that power is shared and all parties get a credible voice. They don’t. There is alot of corruption of course. But the key thing is real power stays in the hands of the national interest.

    Now in the West, the democracy is run primarily by corporations and their lackeys. They pretty much make the decisions and this is passed down to all of those politicians who make money from generous donations who stick with whatever the corporation’s want and make decisions based on that. Can you see the difference? Real power is being made on an international capitalist scale rather then on the national stage, which is the big difference with Putin and Russia.

    However you right about the proportional representation system. The various parties in Russia can be elected to the Duma in stark contrast to the Anglo countries. So that is at least something Russia has right.

    "Russian capitalism at the beginning of the 21st century, together with the “flight of capital”, and, despite its raw material orientation, has all the “fundamental economic signs” of imperialism formulated by V. I. Lenin in his famous brilliant work “Imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism”. According to A. Frolov, this is (1) concentration of production, monopoly and banks; (2) export of capital in the form of a return on investment; (3) export of capital in the form of imports of labor; (4) hydrocarbon exports as a source of monopoly speculative profit; (5) parasitism and decay; (6) redivision of the world.

    Based on the presence of these signs in "Russian capitalism", and if we follow the logic of Lenin, who called "imperialism of France usurious, England - colonial, and imperialism of tsarist Russia - military feudalism", A. Frolov defines modern Russian capitalism as "speculative raw material imperialism , "at the beginning of the struggle with other imperialist groups for a place on the world market of goods, labor and finance." True, he continues, “to apply“ proto ”to the Russian prefix makes some of its incompleteness, incompleteness, both economic and political, especially in that part that characterizes the imperialist era as the era of the division of the world and the struggle for its redivision.

    As a general rule, the imperialist struggle for the redivision of the world is reactionary. But this is a general rule from which exceptions are not only possible, but inevitable. Such an exception is Russian proto-imperialism, which has not yet completed the “gathering of lands”.

    In other words, according to A. Frolov, “Russian proto-imperialism” in the light of its imperialism, before joining the struggle for the redivision of the world, is forced to carry out its struggle for the collection of “lands” in the post-Soviet space, and opposes US imperialism, proceeding not so much from economic interests (since here the share of "direct investment of Russian capital abroad for the period from 2007 to 2013 falls), as out of the" geopolitical "interests."

    Out of interest there are 48 registered political parties in Russia.
    Six of them have representatives in the Duma.
    Any party getting over a thresh hold under PR - usually 5% gets - representation and members.
    It means that people get a voice - they range from left to right...
    And they breathe down the government's throat, rightly.
    The USA is really nothing more than a one party state.
    Both parties financed and controlled by big money, corporatism, capitalism and Israel.
    You cannot vote outside the box to get realistic change.
    The Greens are virtually identical too.
    All neo lib.
    There is no realistic prospect of the Greens achieving anything.
    They have 80% same policy of the big two, so no point voting for them
    Libertarians much the same.
    The USA and Britain are both utterly corrupt in their political system.
    First past the post - that can be and is - fiddled in many ways not least onstituency boundaries .
    First past the post effectively keeps minor parties out - they can get 5% and a voice with PR - but winning a seat is very different.
    They can under PR - shown graphically in Germany with the rise of the AfD, founded in 2013, and now challenging for serious power.
    FPTP is a way of enforcing the two party system - especially in the US .
    Several elections ago in Britain the UKIP party took 4,000,000 votes and got 1 seat.
    Under PR they would have got 82 and held the balance of power and Brexit would have gone straight through.
    The Tories won under 12,000,000 and got 331 seats and an absolute majority in the House.
    And under May did all they could to sabotage and delay the Brexit act.
    Lord Hailsham decribed this 'democracy' as an elective dictatorship and it is.
    As long as a political party in Britain has a workable majority in the House - they can poke the finger and take the mick and do what they want.
    Boris is in that position at the moment.
    Theoretically you have a little more protection in having the Senate and the House.
    However it means nothing as the parties and their policies are run by the same cabal.
    Vote all you like - but money wins.
    Perot nearly bust the system but even he couldn't.
    Voters largely no longer vote FOR parties in general.
    They vote to stop the other guys.
    They won't vote for the likes of Perot - 'because it lets the other side in - the mantra being a 'wasted vote'.
    The wasted vote is actually the vote for the two headed/ one party status quo and more of the corrupt same..
    There is no other side.
    The definition of fascism - usually acccepted - is the merging of corporate and political power.
    You certainly have that now in the USA.
    And it ain't pretty.
    There may be flaws in the Russia system but overall people do have more choice and like him or lump him - Putin is foremost a 'nationalist' who puts Russia and its people first.
    And they largely know it.

    Actually Africa did have some success stories. Mali was one of the best they had. They managed to create a very wealthy empire thanks to the gold mines they had. Obviously the conversion to Islam at the time helped with education rates in that empire but for native Africa, it did very well at the time. Then you had Ethiopia which was for quite a time a very powerful localised empire in the region.

    Black Africa was also starting to experiment with developing towns with stone wall defences so they were starting to settle down in larger numbers. I think that had they had been left to their own devices, eventually they would have evolved to the feudal agricultural level and then started to industrialise. It would have been alot slower then Europe due to the lack of necessity but it slowly was starting to take shape.

    The problem is, they were too slow and obviously Europe helped create huge messes which is why Africa is in so much poverty to this day. We tried to industrialise them too fast and turned them into basically a cash crop for us. This in turn has led to the population there ballooning, it’s still poor and now they are coming to Europe en masse. In a sense, sins of the fathers….

    As for the Jews in Israel, if I’m honest, both the Jews and the Palestinians there are equal in terms of the hatred they have for each other. I wouldn’t be surprised if on the other side of the fence, you had Palestinians spectating and enjoying the view of rockets falling into Israeli territory. I never see a “right” side in this conflict.

    I never see a “right” side in this conflict.

    It has always been a question of might. If the Palestinians were armed, the Jews would never have entered Palestine. But the country was occupied by the British and previously by the Turks. The Palestinians didn't have a chance against the Jews who were armed and trained to use arms. The Jews even shot down 5 British Spitfires over Sinai - using British Spitfires that they bought as surplus and flown by mercenary pilots. The Jewish mechanics had worked on Spitfires in the UK in WW2.

    Today, the picture is entirely different. The most populated area of Israel is quite tiny. The Hezbollah can readily saturated it with rockets. The demographics in the region are quite frightening. Egypt now has 100 million people. Syria has not collapsed. Lebanon has a large wealthy diaspora that financially supports its relatives in Lebanon. I suspect that Saudi Arabia will be the first domino to fall. The princely rulers are thoroughly hated in much of that fake country.

    "War of Independence" is a bit of a joke. The Palestinians were not the occupiers.

    I think you're asking the wrong question: "average Russian" is not making these foreign policy decisions. By the same token "average American" never asked for NATO expansion in Eastern Europe, containment of China in East Asia or colonial empire in the Middle East.

    Average Russian is very much focused on issues of his day-to-day survival, and expects higher-ups to take care of foreign policy matters. That being said, average Russian is smart enough to understand that he is not part of "the West", never will be, and any Western successes usually come at his expense. Average Russian possesses a healthy dose of chauvinism, and if a government is perceived as "soft" vis-a-vis Russia's foreign adversaries, such a government will lose its domestic legitimacy.

Russia needs to quickly send in their battalion of "little green men" and tear off a chunk of the country (I might suggest Vicebsk that is closest to Smolensk that is ethnographically Belorusian).

    However, Navalny's focus on money, is the more accurate "analysis" - everyone knows that the raison d'être of the whole theatre of politics, is to distract the stupid population while you take vast amounts of money.

    You have some good points here. It is difficult to ascertain what Russia’s political future is but from what you are describing, it seems to be that the only thing keeping Russia conservative at the moment is basically the living standards, which seems to be something most Russians are protesting about these days.

    I think the larger question we have to ask ourselves is can Russia successfully improve its quality of life without going full blown libtard and GloboHomo? The only two examples I can think of is Japan and Israel. High standards of living yet conservative still in their outlook (even downright nationalistic in Israel – defence of the Jewish people)

    Otherwise we can say that is essentially a ticking time bomb in the long run, if Russia’s economy actually does start to improve post-Putin. Although to be fairly honest, I think the days of the Western gravy train are pretty much over and Russia has been simply too late to get onboard so it is very sceptical if Russia can actually acquire that standard of living when the West is starting to decline in the information age…

    That said, I do think Russia is protected from guilt politics compared to the West. No country can point the finger and really blame Russia because you guys can easily retort with “well we had the gulags and we lost 20 million in the war.”

    Russia going full blown libtard and GloboHomo.
     
    Man, what kind of obsession is that about an eastern european country going full libtard? This simply won't happen, don't worry about it.

    These countries are outside of the Hajnal line, and full scale libtardation seems to be highly correlated with that.

    Have you seen Eastern Europe that is in the EU and NATO from some time? No one has gone full libtard.

    I have studied the issue personally and the answer is no. It does not work in this part of the world.

    First - the Hajnal line. Collectivism is higher outside of it, which means less individualism and less liberalism. Russia/Eastern Europe is less individualist than the West.

    Second - Russia is in higly competitive area with many very different cultures and civilisations - Eurasia. Liberalism happens in more protected and isolated areas (the end of the European Peninsula, or North America, or ANZ). High competition between neighboring countries is negative for the existance of large scale liberalism.

    Russia has issues with many countries around it, plus too much cultural differences with various different civisations around it (as per Huffington) in order to have open borders. Open borders in Russia's case would mean islamisation and chinafication of the eastern parts, which would be a mortal threat to the country. It has a defensive mindset. Not conductive for liberalism.

    Third - separatism. The country has issues with it in various areas. Identity politics will simply implode the country. Thus the countries elites are looking for unity and stability, not for identity politics.

    4. Reorientation of the country towards Eurasia. That is - the country will be less and less connected with the West and more connected with the traditional values cultures of Eurasia. Businesses matter. When they are less conected with the West, and more connected with Eurasia, there will be less liberalism coming through them. Tourism is already mostly non-western - in and out.

    5. I already told you about the female testosteron issue, which makes the existance of large scale feminism in an eastern european country unlikely.

    6. The guilt issues that you already mentioned.

    7. Long time religion of the country is quite conservative.

    8. Liberalism seems to be the other side of the medal for racism. That is, formerly "racist" countries seem to be compensating for it by trying to create an "antiracist utopia". This is hitting mostly western countries. Most of the rest of the world thinks about themselves first, they can not afford to be "saving the world" instead of thinking about themselves.

    9. Western attacks against the country are radicalising it against the West. For example right now Russia is more conservative than before 20 years. It is not possible to have pro-western mindest when they try to dismember your country, move in in former parts of the country, etc. Even young people would not agree to have US bases in, let's say, Crimea. That would be too much of humiliation.

    10. There are active measures to prevent things like this. The new constitution is precisely about it.
    Highlights of the new Constitution:

    Support for traditional family values.
    Marriage is between man and a woman.
    Mentions God.
    Children are the most important priority for the country.
    Patriotic education for youth.
    Russians are the state - forming ethnicity of Russia.
    Russian language is the nation-forming language.
    Puts russian Constitution above "International law" (0ne of the reasons for this is precisely the attempts to push liberalism in Russia via international law and the ECHR).
    Dual passport holders can not hold positions in the Russian Government, Parliament and Judiciary.

    All of that is coupled with large scale Church building, patriotic education coming in, a Culture Ministry working on it via movies, grants and subsidies, and youth movements such as youth army reaching 1 million teenagers. SJW activity in russian universities is largely not allowed.

    Basically identity politics are incompatible with the existance of Russia as a state. Because then China will say give me this area, Japan will say give me that area, some in Eastern Europe will say give me this, Caucasus will say i'm poor oppressed, i want my state, etc.

    Then in the case of liberal open borders islamisation is more possible than libtardation, as Central Asia right now has more babies than Russia. And the Taliban are taking over in Afghanistan right now.

    So you can have relatively conservative Russia. Or you can have Russia implode. But you can't have libtarded Russia with identity politics.

    When it comes to race in America, I always get the feeling the whole multi-racial ‘united’ country is just one big Potemkin village. That is on the face of it, people ‘pretend’ to love diversity but in reality, all groups usually quite happily self-segregate into their own groups.

    If I am honest, I’ve always thought America would do quite well adopting something similar to the Dutch idea of Pilliarisation, as what established between the Dutch and Belgians. That is all groups have their own majority communities, with their own majority run public services (education, police, fire, health, etc) but still remaining United and faithful to the country. That is equal opportunities for everyone, working for the country but overall living where they choose to live and in effect governing their own areas with an equal budget.

    So not segregation but just a natural convenience for everybody. If you even look at demographic stats in America and where people live, it really does show a strong streak of Pilliarisation already. Might as well help provide the funding for it.

  • I have to confess, I once had my fears of a potential SJW putsch after Putin. I never saw it happening anytime soon but probably 20 years down the pipeline. However, I have been convinced recently of Dimitry and his thoughts.

    What we have to understand about Russia is its history and where it is going on a political and economic stage compared to the West. Right now Russia has an economy mainly centred on oil and gas. The West wants to make do without this by phasing out petrol and diesel engines by 2040. This is going to hurt Russia’s economy.

    In other words, Russia has the potential to have more problems and right now, the last thing on the youths mind is going full blown SJW. They just want to improve their quality of life. Yet if there are more problems around the corner, there simply will not be the time or place to worry about BLM, for example.

    Plus all of these immigrants do not want to move to Russia. There is no major welfare state for them to live on and if Russia does try to enact a major welfare state over the entire country, once again, major problems. Plus I doubt Russians want to pay millions for Africans or Muslims to live for free in their country on their expense when they have their own worries.

    Overall, I think for Russia, the future is more likely going to be right wing then we imagine. For example in the following steps:

    1) They have to find new economic alternatives with which to grow the economy away from oil and gas. Which means more protectionism in the long run. Could lead to a nice growth in soft cultural power however.

    2) Not many immigrants want to live in Russia. It’ll be too much of a cost and I doubt millions of Africans are going to want to live in -45c conditions in Siberia. Any that do make it will go to Moscow and St. Petersburg but even then, there will be stiff competition for jobs from the natives.

    Therefore if Russia is to survive and since no one wants to really move there, they need to start having babies. Hence why going nationalistic is probably the only way the country can become competitive.

    3) They don’t want more Chechnya’s. The West has yet to experience this but Russia remembers.

    4) The West is heavily declining. Russians are shocked with BLM. They are starting to see a continent in decline. The more the West starts to decline and the crazier it becomes, the more Russians are going to pull up the draw bridge.

    So overall, I think that Russia has the potential to be great but it needs to solve the economy and corruption, have more kids and basically keep looking at the West failing.

    Remember back in the 1980s, the West was freedom, economic prosperity and greatness. A shining city on the hill. Now it’s starting to resemble a third world basket case. It will only intensify. I doubt for improving the quality of life, many Russians need convincing that SJWism and millions of third world people is a good idea for improving this…

    Increasing urbanization in Russia will lead to a gradual liberalizing over decades if its not checked. Spengler wrote about the cosmopolitan tendency of the metropolis, and everything from Calhoun's rat experiments to the micro-sociology of transactional vs relational value systems has backed it up.

    However 'based' Putin becomes on immigration, willingness to use military force to re-integrate Russian lands, or illiberal amendments to the constitution, they are no substitute for assuring the social and material conditions that preserve a right-wing sensibility among the super-majority of the populace and elites. Russia and England developed a nationalist orientation first. In Russia, the definition of Russian nationhood emerged out of the routines of village life. No doubt it was cataloged by the learned classes, but this is an expression, not the causal historical force itself.

    This is always a problem that has been going on since the dawn of time. Basically large settlements turn into cities that become large breeding grounds for Cosmopolitanism until they eventually collapse and shrink, leading to more right wing thinking and behaviour.

    I think the way to beat this is to always ensure you have strong birth rates, particularly in the countryside. If you have that factor and it is a continued generation of new babies being born, then they start to migrate back into the cities, giving them a more closely resembled ethnic look.

    To be honest though, I do think the future of white people is actually going to be more conservative. The more they get pushed from the cities and back into the town’s and villages, the more right wing and conservation they will become. I think Karlin documented this a year or two ago.

    I think if you want a prime example of what the white man is going through, look at the history of the Jews. When they were at their peak in ancient Israel, they went ‘liberal’ for those days before eventually downsizing, becoming more conservative and moving into Europe, where they started to become more liberal again until the 20th century…

    Same for Slug. Pompous outfit from Eric Weinstein (Palantir, and donor to many sites many of us like to read ;) billing itself as the International Dark Web with claptrap about "civil discourse" amateurishly ejecting anyone who uses based lingo or so much as disagrees with a trany's "I'm Mathew Sheppard" imitation.

    This is true. To be honest, I think that when it comes to view points on this website, the best that can be achieved is what I would term as a healthy white Identitarism. Nothing radical, just promote the idea that it is fine to be white, there is nothing wrong with it, too much immigration destroys the traditional identity, etc.

    I think the Trumpists would be accepting of such a message. I have noticed a lot of them now are accepting pro-white points of view. As long as it isn’t too radical and holds any prejudice to other groups, they will get on board.

  • I think there are some key differences here on what could take shape. If Biden wins, the Republicans can put down the Trump saga as a regrettable mistake and go back to being the boring old Jen Bush party moaning about lowering taxes for the rich and abortion.

    However if Trump wins, the Republicans will have to acknowledge that people support Trumpism and will have to start re orientating the party towards Trumpian Populism in future elections as they will realise that it is a permanent vote winner. Basically how they started to change themselves into becoming an evangelical Conservative party due to Reagan where as before, it was the Democrats who were the Conservatives.

    Even if they do this though, the Republicans are still going to remain the good old American majority white party so out right winning future elections after Trump is going to be very difficult. I think this all potentially bodes for a potential secession crisis in the future.

    However even if Trump wins, the Democrats may start to take notice and try to compete with the Republicans and start to moderate their policies, shifting away from Identity politics and embracing the populist waves and trying to alternate with a more centrist position. But considering all the crazy lefties in power within the party structure, this would be an incredibly difficult task, almost Herculean to achieve.

    So we could still be looking at a potential secession down the road.

    But we all have to admit one thing – Donald Trump, love him or loathe him, has changed ultimately the political face of politics for the better. Even though he actually has done very little, just the fact he got elected with his views really does go to show the people have had enough and want changes.

It would have made sense to carry out such a social experiment on foreign soil and see how it works before deciding if you want to continue with it in your own country or just give up on it because it’s unworkable. It seems to me that those Algerians of old that drove you out were more “human” than you are now, because they were unwilling to accept foreigners on their soil and willing to go to any lengths and make any sacrifice to get them out – and that surely is the human thing to do if you love your own people an your own country.

    The Pieds-Noirs who left Algeria did so by their own will, not because they were forced to. It was a self-designed outcome, the irrational consequence of their terrorist, no-prisoner-taken, all-out war against the inevitable Algerian self-determination, in opposition to De Gaulle's vision for a negotiated solution.

    The Evian agreements drawing up Algerian independence are very clear: Europeans had the right to stay, to keep their assets and to be granted full citizenship.

    The Pieds-Noirs are an extremely powerful community in France, principally because many of them were Jewish North-Africans who were upon arrival greatly favoured by the existing French power structure.

    Out of France's 3 main kingmakers, Alain Minc, Bernard Henry Levy and Jacques Attali, the latter two are Jewish Algerian Pieds-Noirs (Minc is Ashkenazi).

    Eric Zemmour, currently France's foremost political ideologist, is a Jewish Algerian Pied-Noir.

    The Number 1 specialist of the France-Algeria war History is a courteous and affable historian called Benjamin Stora, a Jewish Pied-Noir.

    The list sounds like pages from a celebrity directory, and it is endless: from outspoken showman Guy Bedos, to Islamophobic likudnik singer Patrick Bruel, there are literally millions of Pieds-Noirs and descendants in prominent positions, who have never dared pretending that they had been chased out of Algeria.

    If I’m honest, I think that the Visegrad nations are about 30 years behind Europe. As your quality of life starts to improve, your population will start to become more liberal and infused with GloboHomo ideas. The elites will then foister continued ‘legal’ immigration due to low birth rates. If it’s legal and safe, the population will continue to tolerate it.

    I think that by the end of this century, Eastern Europe will be as diverse as Western Europe. Unless people develop an ethno-patriotic back bone and combine that with having a good quality of life, then Europe can survive. But since wealth and liberalism seem to correlate, I am not optimistic.

    Eastern Europe is at least as diverse as Western Europe. Eastern European censuses always undercount or even fail to account for their massive Roma and other populations -- although admittedly these could be considered white (I'm sure nationalists don't consider them white though).


    Romani people in Hungary (also known as Hungarian Roma or Romani Hungarians; Hungarian: magyarországi romák or magyar cigányok) are Hungarian citizens of Romani descent. According to the 2011 census, they compose 3.18% of the total population, which alone makes them the largest minority in the country,[22] although various estimations have put the number of Romani people as high as 5–10 percent of the total population.[6][8][23]
     
    As with nationalists everywhere, eastern/central European nationalists are largely bullshitters and reality deniers.

    Anglo Europeans dominated the world until the 19th century (British Empire) mostly through trade and Imperial outposts turning into colonies (N.America, Canada, Australia, South Africa, India etc. etc.) with this domination (economic and political) being taken over to their US Anglo cousins after 1945.

    Since 1945 US Jewish Neo-Bolsheviks have been strongly attracted by this Anglo world power (same as they were attracted by the power of Imperial Russia and Imperial Germany which they tried to subvert (1917 - 1919). And, US Anglo power is being subverted in exactly the same way, using exactly the same methods.

    The aim is a Neo-Bolshevik dictatorship with themselves as the high priests and dictators of "Social Justice and Equality".

    They know that Might = Right. The Anglos totally destroyed the North American Indian tribes that had inhabited America for 20.000 years previously, and now it's the Anglo's turn to face their own destruction. Either they defend themselves or get crushed in the same way as the ethnic Russians and Ukrainians did under the Russian Bolshevik Jewish dictatorship (1917+).

    Personally I think you are missing the point here. There are two relevant facts at play. The first is karma and the second is stupid white people. Let us begin.

    Karma – The Anglo-Saxon West pretty much destroyed the entire balance of the planet with its greed for profit and lust for empire building. You pointed out the destruction of the native Americans but what about the deathsnof millions of Indians due to British colonialism? Or the millions of Chinese during the Opium War and other British policies?

    Unlike even the Romans, the British and other European powers actually left little behind in terms of infrastructure and economic development in their once colonies, aside from railroads left behind in India. Most of it was basically one big plantation economy.

    So what do the once colonial subjects want to do? Leave their own countries and come back to the motherland. Imperialism has been a long term disaster for the West.

    Stupid white people – Yes, yes, people here blame the Jews but let’s be honest here, if it was the Jews who helped contribute, who happily lapsed it up and performed the dance? The stupid white people! Had the stupid white people been more intelligent, they would have put two and two together and stopped the madness along time ago. Instead they are worshipping George Floyd.

    You know, I really hope what you are saying is correct. I really do. Do you know why I am pessimistic? Because I have seen the exact same arguments and false beliefs in my own native Britain for so long now.

    I’ll give you a history class. In 1947, the government told people that we needed to invite black Jamaicans and other West Indies people in order to fill a labour shortage after the war due to the loss of soldiers. It would be temporary and they would go back home. Hint: It never happened.

    In the 1960s, the government invited thousands of Asian (Indian and Pakistani) migrants, particularly from Africa in order to escape Idi Amin and his regime. People complained about it, they started to march, the government told them the numbers are just about enough to fill a football pitch and nothing more. There was no way that traditional white British people would become a minority in their own homeland.

    They lied. Only Thatcher in the 1980s was honest enough to prevent mass continued immigration but after her came Tony Blair who decided to hit the nuclear option and turn the UK into a diverse society to rub the rights nose in it. The flood gates opened and have been pretty much the same ever since.

    Now you say ‘it’ll never happen here, we are too proud and patriotic.’ Well, so were the British people. They marched, they protested, they tried to politically do something about this madness and were told it was all exaggeration. But they did try.

    I can see the same signs with Eastern Europe. You are proud, patriotic. Right now your people are matching and protesting but for how long? I see the rot of GloboHomo taking shape in the East and I am not optimistic.

    In 30 years time, you could see a new generation of politician get into power who want to truly transform EE as it is backwards and not at all glorious like the “enlightened West.” They will do it slowly until eventually, you get to the point where what is another half a million blacks going to matter?

    You want to know the only hope you have of preventing this? If the West collapses first and your people panic and realise that it is not the way forward. Already there are signs that EE is starting to lose faith in the West but it’s going to take more craziness from the West before the youth there fully abandon such copy cat ideas.

    But never think for one minute EE is immune from this and can weather out the storm. Just look at Japan. Already they are bringing in hundreds of thousands of new Philippine and Indonesian migrant workers. Something once considered impossible. And the people? They are accepting it.

    You are right, there is a risk. The glaring (and obviously dysfunctional) example next door in Western Europe is making the attempted repeat in the east more problematic for the globalist elite. But they will try and there are enough locals who will collaborate. So I am not sure, I just think that there is still time.

    The Merkel march in 2015 was a PR catastrophe. Visiting and working in the large Western cities has also had a huge impact. But EE is not a uniform place, there are weaker spots, esp. among the less self-confident and poorer regions who would sell their mother to be liked. But the main weak spot are the 'culture intellectuals', who understand neither culture nor are do they have any intellect. The eternal cold-warriors in the West have spent years celebrating these fools, and tangling small rewards for liberal compliance. Great, but we have to live with them - they are among the dumbest and most self-hating creatures who have ever existed.

    UK screwed up royally when they tried for way too long to play the Commonwealth game and pretended that there was something special about Indo-Pakis or Nigerians. I agree that Blair was the final catalyst, but others, many, many others, played their role. Including so-called 'conservatives'. They wanted cheap labor - they still want cheap labor. The fact that during those crucial Blair years very few stood up, that almost all educated class cheered him on - well, there is plenty of responsibility all around. Can we avoid it? I think so, for one, our languages are quite difficult. We also tend to have more developed critical thinking skills and understand tribal self-interest. At least for now. Maybe we are more cynical so the liberal platitudes don't play well here.

    ...
    While speaking at a National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) press conference, he said, “We have to come to the place and realize that that situation has to be addressed. I said previously the International Organization for Migration’s focus is on providing housing for migrants.

    “So, when they make their report and speak to the lack of accommodations to house persons in The Bahamas to protect them from storms, they have built into their consideration the countless number of migrants that are in The Bahamas.

    “Part of our preparation needs to be that if you are in The Bahamas illegally, you should make every effort to go home. We are a very humane society. We provide water and food and shelter but there’s only so much that we can do.”

    Words that could be coming from a German or a Swede. So much for supposed black toughness and brutality. Since softening up to immigrants (and to unfortunate people in general, as well as animals) is such a universal thing happening to well-off societies, I doubt there is a workable solution except rising living standards in other countries than yours. So the migrants are happy to settle there, or not leave in the first place (as Sicilians and Irish eventually stopped emigrating to America). Peasants in Japan were once so poor they were happy to migrate to Brazil, where a large Japanese diaspora formed - then the fortunes reversed and they not only stopped, but came back in significant numbers.

    Bhutan is a country with relatively good life and masses of poor Indians right outside its border ready to flood it. It used brutal mass deportations in the 1990s and is currently making the life of foreigners and their children a bureaucratic hell. Works for now to fend off migration, but as they too are becoming wealthier, who knows how long it will last.

    If you are talking about permanently settling in Bhutan,its for you.Firstly, the laws of Bhutanese constitution never allow any foreign citizen to be a permanent citizen of Bhutan. However, a foreigner(you) can be a citizen condition, you must marry a Bhutanese spouse. You have to lead and live life based on MC systems on renewal basis. But to be honest , there will be some consequences at later part of life.Your offspring(s) will not be eligible to obtain and own a citizen ID card. which also means he/she won't be a fully Bhutanese citizin. As a result, offspring cannot have free higher education ( Free Education facility by the Royal Govt. Of Bhutan) and free medical facilities.Above all offsprings won't be eligible to apply for govt. Jobs. These are some major drawbacks.However you and your family will have peace, prosperity or happiness like any other people of Bhutan.I'm sure it helps you.Cheers!

    John,

    Actually I agree with Beckow on this one. Compared to Western Europe, the East is very much majority white. The gypsies only really live in Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria IIRC. Even then, there has been a “whitening up” process whereby the minorities have, by and largely, interbred and become part of the majority. Russia itself is very much part of this phenomenon too as many Russians have Tartar and other non-white ancestries but look perfectly white.

    If Western Europe only accepted a certain amount of non-white minorities and closed the door for good, eventually they too would “whiten up” and become indistinguishable from the natives. Problem is, the West has gone for full blown mass colonisation that Iranification is more likely then whitening up.

    The Tatars weren't "non-white". Many of the nomadic Turkic and Mongolic speaking people were in fact white. Both Russian and Chinese sources describe "blond" and "red haired" tribes of Turkic and Mongolic tongues, with aquiline noses, tall height, etc. That's because the Turks and Mongols themselves were made up of multiple race groups, including Europeans who were present in central Siberia and Mongolia since the bronze age. A recent paper (2020) got DNA from early Gokturk and early Xiongnu graves, and they were majority Caucasoid in ancestry, with a lot of haplogroup R1b. Even the imperial era Mongols had way more Caucasoid ancestry than modern Mongolians, and a lot of R1b. So these people weren't "nonwhites" and today's Mongolians don't look like them or share the genes of the earlier, more diverse Mongol tribes.

    There's no genetic evidence for what you're saying, but any "Tatar" ancestry in Russians could have come from an individual with less than 12.5% East Asian ancestry. And you haven't provided statistical reasons for believing what you claim about the diversity of Eastern Europe. Right off the bat, the western Russia has more diversity than the most diverse country in Western Europe. And western Russia could be described as "Islamified".


    P.s. I found it ironic that you said the West is "Iranifying"; since Slavic languages are generally regarded as having Iranian influence.

I have noticed that there is a vast difference between Ukrainian internet commentators, who often reside in the West, and common Ukrainian people, they truly are tired in this crisis that has been going from 2013. Even election of Zelensky was a sign that majority of Ukrainians dont agree with Yatsenyuks and Poroshenkos message. But most people there are so tired that they have lost hope and have fallen in political apathy. Still in my opinion Putin plays long game and Slavs are not as susceptible to propaganda like westerners, they have or will notice that the Ukrainian independence has just brought misery and unstability, and that there is vast divide between lies told by authorities and reality.

    I disagree about Slavs not being susceptible to propaganda. ALL people are susceptible to propaganda. Are you not forgetting all of that Soviet propaganda that turned the Slavs into Stalin worshippers?

    To be honest, these protestors who are opposing Lukashenko really do not care about the future of the country, their civilisation or what have you. All they want is a good quality of life. If it means joining up to the EU in order to get those juicy subsidies, then so be it.

    Even Serbia wants to join the EU. Serbia, the country that was heavily bombed by NATO in the 1990s. I think when it comes to nationalism, money talks more with people these days.

    Rather then try to build up their own countries, they seem willing to sell it down the drain and mass migrate to the “New Romes” (London, Paris, Berlin, etc) in order to get some share of the pie.

    But there'll be a price to pay for that good quality life, firstly because it was other people who built that good quality life, and they're the ones who'll initially pay for it in increased crime, lower wages, higher housing costs as a result of Eastern European immigration (albeit the Roma/Kosovars/Albanians are much worse than say Poles or Estonians).

    But they'll pay in their home countries when its time to settle "refugees", allow gay "marriage" and generally "conform to European values".

    You know, I don’t think many of these people protesting actually care. They don’t think long term about the situation. They have been thoroughly indoctrinated into GloboHomo mass culture that to them, becoming like the West is the only way for them to prosper.

    It is the same with the protests going on in Russia today. Most of them are young, they have grown up on a diet of GloboHomo propaganda and they want to live in a country that is on the TV such as “Friends”. They cannot conceive of the West’s problems or its future, just that it has a far better quality of life then back home.

    I know what I am talking about because I have interacted alot with younger Russians and many of them still have this naive belief that if they just copy everything the West has done, magically things will radically improve. If you try to point out the alternatives, about what is happening in the West, etc, etc, they just cannot conceive that the West is bad and it is a lie. Like a religion almost.

    I think the problem ultimately stems from Communism and the 1990s decade. When the Soviet system collapsed, people essentially lost hope with anything to do with Socialism and you had a younger generation growing up, watching Western TV, taking note of the bad situation in the former east at that time. Psychological speaking, the East has never recovered from that after shock.

    To all of those here thinking the Slavic states are immune, to Karlin and his dreams of a greater Russian empire in space, I ask the question. Why are the Slavs not protesting for nationalism? Why are they protesting for Democracy and Liberalism?

    Because it is the stronger “God” that they believe in.

    Unless another system, a strong system, is developed that can successfully counter GloboHomo, Putin, Lukashenko and the nationalism that has been present is but a mirage of time that itself cannot ensure on a long term basis.

    Now the bigger question is – could Democracy and Liberalism actually succeed in Belarus/Russia, etc? The answer is no, not for the long term. In Belarus’ case, it would just be a repeat Ukrainian horror show. The young would leave en masse to the “Glorious West” with false hopes of joining the EU.

    In Russia’s case – it might succeed for a decade but quickly develop into another oligarchy. Whatever happens in that scenario I have no idea.

    This is the case amongst the Soviet generation. I’d say within the 50 – 80 year age groups, Soviet nostalgia is very strong. It is this generation that regretted the breakup of the Soviet Union, still believe (even to this day) in Communism and fondly remember how great life was back then (remember the Sovok Boomer Karlin presented a while back?).

    However it is the younger generation that is having none of it. The smart ones are naturally critical of the West but still see Democracy as the way forward. The masses however want to go full on West and are in love with the GloboHomo culture. As one younger Russian told me once, “amongst the youth, the minority think the West is becoming a new Sodom and Gomorrah. The majority think the West is being progressive and cool.”

    Another Russian also told me to expect gay marriage in Russia within 30 – 50 years after the Putin era if the current Western pop culture still heavily stands.

    So it is down to comments like this and from the protests I am reading about why I am naturally very sceptical if Belarus and Russia can avoid the same fate. Watch the Visegrad states. When they decide to start adopting gay marriage and pushing towards a more liberal culture, expect the rest of Slavdom to follow suit.

    Yeah this is something I have been contemplating too. If the West was doing really well economically, everything was great and thriving and people were having a really great quality of life, I think that the Slavic world would very quickly embrace GloboHomo view points, believing that it is the road to prosperity.

    However, considering that the West continues to decline with every passing year and the problems continue to grow, there is a potentially positive chance that the Slavic people will put two and two together, realising that the combination of GloboHomo views has led to the decline of the West.

    I tend to concur with Dimitry that the East will for the foreseeable future attempt to go down the Visegrad route. He is right now Russia and surrounding areas have not been soaked in wealth and comfort to launch a full SJW cultural rebellion anytime soon. The protests are mainly economical in nature.

    The light at the end of the tunnel might be that of Russia reaches the path of GloboHomo in 50 years time, it might be a concept long dead and buried with memories of totalitarianism that no one wants to embrace and thus might steer the country away from such stupidity. Same with Belarus. Only time will tell.

    I’m also a moderate optimist because I believe that humanity is
    finally beginning to rise from the level of weapon-making predatory
    primates pursuing self-interest (this model is also partly employed
    by the British philosopher John Gray). The reason for my optimism
    is that I am also a panentheist. In this belief system immanent
    divinity (I don’t use the concept of transcendent divinity typical of
    monotheistic religions) acts as a strange attractor inexorably drawing
    humanity toward itself.

    I certainly didn’t invent this model. It’s been around since at least
    the 1970s when the environmental movement came to the fore, and
    the Gaia concept began to take shape. I gave a talk alluding to parts of this
    model at one of the world’s most famous universities that shall remain
    unnamed. I realize the model will not be popular here because it
    predicts that very large countries like the U.S., Russia, and China
    will break up into smaller entities. The cost/benefit ratio will exceed 1
    (it probably is already close to 1), creating an unsustainable situation.

    Sorry, but this sounds like the type of hopium filled post that would be more at home over at the Saker's blog. It may be incomprehensible to many of us here, but it's a mistake to underestimate the allure of the globohomo cargo cult to Eastern Europeans, especially the younger ones (those willing to beat and, be beaten by, OMON) and we do so at our peril.

    In reality, Russia has few good choices in the short term. If it backs Luka, even nominally and without force, it risks alienating large swaths of Belorussian society for a generation. Using force would only compound the problem. The Western partners are already trying to conflate Russia with support for the regime, it would do well to avoid falling into this trap. Belarus is not Ukraine, there are no ethnic fissures to exploit.

    Exactly what I’ve been trying to say for a while on here now and constantly people keep denying that GloboHomo “can’t happen here.” I’ve heard many different theories on how the East cannot become like the West, ranging from women’s physical features to Slavic people being more intelligent and cynical, apparently.

    Yet for all purposes, what we are seeing in Belarus is nothing short of a colour revolution and we know how this is going to play out. I was reading a Lithuanian commentator say how the EU immediately needs to back the opposition, stuff billions of Euros into the country and essentially allow freedom of movement for Belarusians.

    I get it, people want a better quality of Life, we are all Human. But replacing Lukashenko with the opposition will just kill Belarus off in a very short space of time. Millions of young people will flock to the West, the nation will become impoverished with the state run industries being heavily privatised and the country will look like another East German ghost town within two decades.

    There is no long term planning behind this, just “Democracy, Freedom, Money.” In the end, nothing good can come from this.

    allure of the globohomo cargo cult to Eastern Euro
     
    If young people in Belarus chanting they want to join the EU, they are unrealistic fantasists to the extent that even with change of government, a Belarus membership in EU would at best be accepted by EU only many years in the future.

    But the object of desire itself is quite a rational, "non-cargo cult" one to pursue: standards of living and career opportunities are a lot higher in Western Europe, and EU membership allows almost effortless opportunity to live in any country you want, and to access freely local health/educational infrastructure of that country.

    So it is easy mock about the young protesters in UK who want to not lose EU membership, as English youth live in one of the world's wealthiest countries, where there are sometimes more high salary job positions in skilled professions, than qualified people applying for those jobs. Those are English youth who simply don't want an inconvenience of a visa application when they are on vacation, or were frustrated by the expensive native educational system and want to continue going to university for free in Sweden.

    On the other hand, something like EU membership to young people in Belarus? Then aspect to mock is unrealistic belief that EU would accept their country while they are still young, rather than the motive - because for many young people such a EU membership would of course increase potential career opportunities, and this is even for skilled professionals who already can qualify for things like "critical skills employment permit" in countries like Ireland.

    And young graduates in countries like Belarus probably don't even imagine some of the easy employment situations that can be viewed in Western European countries like Ireland, and the low level of competition for a lot of jobs that exists, which despite excellent conditions and packages for those jobs.

    Replies: @Hartnell

    When it comes to the EU and UK youth, it is actually surprising but many of them did not benefit from EU membership. Very few studied abroad in EU countries as the programmes to do so were never really encouraged in the British education system. I would even go as far as to say that 98 percent of young students actually went to British universities rather than EU ones…

    I know this because I tried to enquire back in the day of going to an EU university so I could study for free. The options were simply just not available and all of the directions kept pointing me towards UK education. Makes sense though the UK authorities would do this as they want to keep as many debt slaves as possible…

    Now in regards to the youth and working abroad in EU countries, once again this is a sham. I could count on my hand the amount of young people that actually did this. Once again, that 98 percent figure I quoted earlier stayed in the UK, working in local jobs rather then going abroad.

    The only thing the youth of Britain actually profited from as a majority was cheap sunny holidays to Spain and Portugal. Oh and buying larger amounts of cheaper tobacco and booze to bring back home (which I successfully did when in the Czech Republic – was great!).

    In my own perception, the Brexit situation came in several waves

    1) Older people with nostalgia for the glory days who voted to leave.

    2) Skilled labour who were economically pressured by EU migration

    3) Alt Righters who wanted to see Europe burn

    4) Apathetic majority youth who didn’t really understand the EU and did not bother to turn up to the polls

    5) A strong youth minority who were absolutely supportive of EU membership

    6) Middle income people who didn’t want to push the boat and voted to stay in

    7) Welfare class who wanted to just punish the government and voted to leave

    So many factors in what actually happened.

    There was also a vast Spanish/Italian youth working in England, especially in cafes, restaurants, hotels - as a result of the lack of jobs in Spain/Italy. On the other hand, especially Spanish/Italian youth were a large part of the consumption in cafes.

    I can remember still in 2017-2018 to sit in the cafe in England, perhaps with the laptop for several hours in the early afternoon - it was completely clear that the majority consumers were speaking Spanish. EU membership was adding a such a vast Latino youth gastarbaiter population into the English city, which is almost all appears now to have disappeared (partly because of economic recovery in Spain).

    I think the end stage will be one of two scenarios:

    A. The protests drag on for a few weeks but the regime stands firm. It avoids large scale crackdowns and instead vanishes the ring leaders quietly. After a few weeks, the masses will tire of the woke college idiots and abandon them. The protests will simply fizzle away and the police will easily mop the remainder of the woke crowd that has been abandoned by the CIA.

    B. The protests succeed and the regime starts to fray. Luka in fear of his life and wealth agrees to the union state and invites Russian troops in to stop the unrest. Luka becomes a regional governor for Putin basically. Moscow will have a perfect casus beli. They were invited in by the elected head of state who is merely enforcing a treaty both countries agreed to ages ago.

    I think one of these are the likely outcomes. Another third option, less likely but more volatile is that the Lukashenko regime collapses. Russia invades directly and conquers the country in a day. The Belarussian military is just 46,000 strong, it will fold instantly.

    I don't think Russia can afford to lose Belarus, it will mean Putin is next and worse, the Belarussian border is just a short tank ride to Moscow

    Actually Lukashenko has already beat you to it and has invited Russian troops in to help what he perceives as a “foreign attempt” to create instability in Belarus. From what I read, Putin is still weighing up the options.

    We have to remember though that Putin also has problems with his own domestic liberal youth to contend with. Should he outright try to annex Belarus and it leads to more sanctions, I think there could be major protests throughout Russia.

    Many interviews with protesters I saw, in which they say they want to join Europe, and protests can shout:

    Population pyramid of Belarus, are mostly old people, and we can believe most of the country want to integrate with Russia. Belarus is a very aging society, which should support political stability, and reduce the scale of protests.

    But among the young people in the demographic age 20-30 (which is only 11% of the country), then the results of polls are the other way round, and the majority of this age-group support Europe, and want to join the EU.

    This 11% of the population of Belarus, who were born in the 1990s, are also demographic who disproportionately have energy to go to streets and protest, as well as the nationalists. So this is likely why the pro-Lukashenko rally was pathetic, and needed to import people into Minsk.


    Lukashenko having overstayed his welcome

     

    Lukashenko has been a relatively competent and moderate leader overall - and the country has developed as well as probably can expected considering their geographical situation. He likely still has support of the country's old people, who are the majority of the country's population, and may be the wiser part - but they don't have energy for street protests.

    In Lukashenko supporters' rally were mostly such old people. And they wildly supported Russia when the crowd was asked.

    EU is not just a machine for transferring vast amounts of money from the wealthy net contributor countries of Europe, to the relatively poor net recipient countries. But it also allows those people lucky enough to have a EU member passport to live freely in any member country they want, as if choosing from a menu.

    And this EU menu has some of the world's best and most successful countries, with the best infrastructure, health service, education systems, transportation, and careers. I.e. choose from your menu from such elite countries as:

    Germany
    UK
    Sweden
    Ireland
    Netherlands
    Austria

    Then in addition, EU menu, also includes less successful Latin countries, but which have the most attractive lifestyle, health service, longest life expediencies and where it's at least convenient to be able to vacation without the visa, even if you couldn't ever attain a job there:

    Italy
    Spain
    France


    Maybe some of the only countries in the world you would need to add to make EU more attractive for living, are:

    Japan,
    Australia,
    USA
    Canada

    Otherwise EU has most of the most attractive countries.

    The most wealthy North-West European countries in the EU like UK, Netherlands, etc, are the great financial victims of the EU - it's their money which is partly buying German trains for net recipient countries like Poland or Portugal.

    So youth which supports so much EU in those countries which are net contributors to the EU, are a bit like spoilt traitors of their parents' tax money. That said, even if you have English standards of living and career prospects - there is some attraction to being able to live so easily in a lot of other developed countries which only EU makes possible.

    It’s the same case with Ireland. They got fed up of the old boss England but straight away jumped on the train of the new boss Europe when all was said and done. Despite all of that fierce IRA fight back over the decades, they pretty much surrendered on a whim to the EU.

    During my discussions with Irishmen over the years, 99 percent of them were heavily in favour of the EU, even downright “patriotic” I would say to the new order, despite the new migrants coming in and the ever so depending erosion of national sovereignty. I’ve even spoke to those who sympathise with the IRA over the years and hold mass hatred towards Britain. Yet when I point out England is not the enemy anymore and it is Brussels and it’s dreams of an EU United society, they all go very quiet or just retort with “down with the British”.

As for Belarus, once again, the EU won’t integrate them anytime soon but if the project ever picks up pace there again, make no mistake, Belarus will get absorbed.

    Your analogy breaks down in that Ireland is as wealthy/rich as England is today, if not more so. The same can't be said for Belarus or Ukraine. So even if their anti-UK rhetoric clearly causes much butthurt for you, the reality is that their diss of you didn't hurt them.

    The main problem with your scenario is that the US, UK, and EU elites are doing a lot to impoverish ordinary people in the West by undermining the value of the US dollar (Euro, pound sterling, and Yen will tank along with it). Currently the US is “borrowing” trillions: printing US treasuries, and, as there are no other takers, buying its own debt obligations with printed dollars. This Ponzi scheme will crash at some not so distant point, like all Ponzi schemes before it. The strength of China, Russia, South Korea, and some other countries is that they have real economy producing tangible things, not hot air currently counted as GDP in the US and UK.

    I read that Cork in Ireland used to have a Jewish mayor called Gerald Goldberg, and he used to compare British soldiers in Ireland to pro-Tsar Cossacks in Russia, and presumably implying that Irish republicans are the equivalent of Bolsheviks in his analogy.


    Gerald Goldberg grew up in a Yiddish-speaking Orthodox home. The family were active Irish Republicans, dangerous due to raids by the Black and Tans. His father hung the wedding photo of Prince Edward and Princess Alexandra (later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra) on the wall, which satisfied a British officer they were loyal to the crown. It was a similar trick they had used in Russia, when hanging photos of the Tsar to avoid harassment by Cossacks.

    I don't really want to get into a lengthy discussion about this; imo it's crazy for outside forces to promote an anti-Russian nationalist narrative in Belarus and incite hopes of EU or NATO integration. This cannot but end badly and lead to a severe Russian reaction, and whatever one thinks about the merits of Belarussian nationhood, it's not worth the dangers to peace in Europe.
    And tbh I don't have much sympathy for naive liberal protesters who dream of joining "the West"; I live in "the West" and it's increasingly a nightmare. AK is quite right about this at least, nobody should join such a failed model just because of greed for consumer goods or vacations.

    It’s not just the Belarusians who want “in” with the West but also a large segment of the Russian population as well. I was speaking to a Russian friend of mine just today about what all of these protests are about and he pretty much confirmed that it is all about becoming “like the West.”

    He told me that what all of these protestors want is basically what other Europeans have had. The freedom to travel. The freedom to visit other countries without any visas. The freedom to study wherever they want. Plus a nice sum of EU money to boot.

    I asked “but what about patriotism and standing up to the U.S?”. He confirmed to me the masses of these people really do not care about that. “We’ve been in a new cold war with the West but compared to the Soviet times, the culture war has been pretty much won. After Putin is going to lead to demands for greater liberalism. It’s inevitable.”

    I pushed him on mass immigration. He responded with “once again they do not care. The nationalists in Russia and elsewhere do but the masses are unconcerned with it. It’s all about me, me, me. They think it cannot happen here.”

    So it’s looking like the West through TV, propaganda, music etc has pretty much won this round.

He told me that it’s going to have to get really ugly in Europe to make people realise that the West isn’t the way to go. In other words, Europe has to essentially collapse or turn into an Afro-Islamic colony. Like he pointed out, when Merkel let in all the refugees, it freaked the Visegrad states out and they went nationalistic. It’ll be the same state of affairs for Russia and the other surrounding countries as, like Karlin has put it quite so aptly, the Soviet Freezer effect is still strong.

    As long as the status quo continues and “the dream” lives on, the protestors will keep getting louder and the demand for liberalism greater.

I am very interested in how such a generation came about and what they will be as elders but I think I have a good idea. As elders, they will be like the old Soviet generation, talking fondly about the good old days.

    Eastern Millennials however are different. They are, to put it mildly, more conservative then their Western counterparts. However there is still a liberal impetus there, as we saw in the polish elections. The further east you go, the more desire for liberalism starts to grow.

    If I’m being honest, I think the Millennials are a lost cause. Although still small in number, I’m noticing that it’s the Zoomers starting to reflect more right wing values and I am presuming generation alpha will start to do the same as time goes on.

    I see Zoomers moving even further to the left than Millenials. Part of the problem is that the current generation of "nationalists" focuses on appealing to Boomers. This is especially true of Trump, Orban and Kaczynski. This is a conservatism that focuses on rural values, tradition and fear of foreigners. The aging sort of Buchanan or Derbyshire whines that one reads here at Unz. It tends to be a very negative sort of conservatism and it doesn't resonate emotionally with young people. Western and Eastern European Zoomers would probably respond better to a positive white nationalist message but most of the "nationalists" now in power are not willing to be openly racist because that would alienate the over-60 demographic they rely on. In Zoomer eyes conservatism looks like a dying ideology of old people who are economic losers and who are afraid of their own shadows. Hardly appealing.

    At the same time Zoomers are angry, and realize that liberals are hypocrites. Zoomers have also seen how Millennials mostly tried to play ball with the System under Bush and Obama and got steamrolled by it. Unfortunately that leaves the militant left as the most emotionally appealing ideology available. What Zoomers probably want is a new Mussolini - someone who can make conservatism appeal to the young by stealing a lot of the anti-elite rhetoric of the left, providing a postive radical vision of a future built around youth, but combining it with patriotism and ethnic loyalty. That is kind of what Bannon wanted to do, but Trump was not the right vehicle, and neither are the aging ex-nomenklatura elites turned "nationalist" in power in Central and Eastern Europe.

    See, you hit the nail on the head with this. Society in the West is starting to break down. I’m not saying the majority of Zoomers are going to the right but compared to Millennials, I’ve noticed on twitter quite a decent number of right wing Zoomers. Some sympathise with a basic form of white Identitarism, others are just mainly conservative and complaining about the lack of family values. I was surprised to see yesterday on twitter young women complaining about lack of religious values and how they want to have a trad marriage. All zoomers.

    I don’t predict the Zoomers are going fully right wing entirely but the push is going to start back with them and gain momentum due to the simple fact that you can’t go left anymore without turning into a full blown Sodom and Gomorrah.

    As for the Millennials, they were too indoctrinated by the education system when times were good and many were helicoptered around by leftie boomer parents who had all the money in the world so they were more concerned about what was happening in the third world then back on the home front. Hence why the Millennials are actually fighting for the system like obedient drones.

    In regards to Eastern Europe, it all depends on the generation you grew up in. My experience with Russians told me that those who came of age during the 90s and 2000s had a relatively relaxed education system and the entire country was engulfed in Western culture. As a result, they grew up more liberal and want to emulate the West. However their Zoomers and younger generation is growing up under the ideas of Putinism and I think when they come of age, they will be tilting more towards the right.

    Exactly a point very well made. I think this generational divide that I have noticed happening between the West and the East is down to the history of capitalism and communism.

    In the West, capitalism remained triumphant until 2008 and the life of the party carried on. However due to a declining economic base and more problems, it is inevitable that the West is going to start to push towards the right and probably start to embrace Caesarism until the ship of state is stable once again. To the youth of the West, the future is not bright anymore and one filled with problems.

    The East is different. They came out of communism, embraced caesarism and now want to do what the West has done. They want to have the party life and all the riches that Westerners had access over the successive decades since 1945.

    However, the East’s hedonism might become very short lived compared to the West due to the nature of the changing times. Fossil fuels are now starting to become harder to extract and eventually will start to decline in this century. Their birth rates are low. Compared to the West that had a strong industrial economy that produced the middle class boomers, the youth in the East do not have access to this.

    In other words, the Eastern youth want to repeat what the Western baby boomers had but are coming to the party way too late. I predict looking at the overall bigger picture a decline in the East and a new crisis period starting around the 2050s. Plus if the West continues to decline (and it will), it’s going to heavily effect the youth and their mindset on how the West is so “cool”.

    Personally I don’t think Russia will go fully down the Western road compared to countries such as Belarus and Ukraine. The reason for this is where as Belarus and Ukraine could comfortably fit into Europe, Russia cannot as it is simply too big.

    It has more responsibilities to have to consider, such as supporting Siberia. Then there is the whole issue with the Caucasus. It’s simply too diverse and big as a country to join with Europe.

    Plus we have to remember that none of these areas actually want to leave Russia. The big breakup happened in 1991. That is not on the cards.

    I think there will be changes in Russia after Putin. Mainly of an economical nature. Maybe some liberalisation in some areas. But afterwards, Russia is going to find herself having to find her own place in the world between the West and China.

    Who knows? Considering Europe is bracing for more refugees in the near future, debt ridden economics and growing nationalism within the EU, Russia could very well find herself having to take up some mantle of leadership in the future.

    But this will be decades down the line. For now, whilst the El Dorado of the West still shines, it’s all going to be about the West.

  • The great irony in all of this is the fact that the EU does not want Belarus. Apart from some half hearted supportive comments to the protestors (and new poster girl Tikhanovskaya) there remains very little enthusiasm for pushing ahead with regime change in Belarus.

    The reason for this? The EU simply does not want to pay for Belarus. It is that simple. The billions of Euros along with a huge Belarusian migrant surge is not what the EU wants right now. They can’t even support their own member States right now such as Italy so why take on another huge burden? Its the same story with the Ukraine. The EU simply does not want these countries in the club.

    Which means only Russia is willing to pay the bill at the end of it. I think that as time goes on, hopefully the pro-Western idiots realise this simple fact and actually try to do something more beneficial such coming to the realisation they need to build their own country up without relying on mother Merkel and friends to give them free money.

    Now this itself is an interesting phenomenon and bodes well for the future of America. Those who voted in South Africa genuinely believed it was going to work. The younger generation of that time became strong anti racists and heavily critical of apartheid.

    Now fast forward to 2020 and any white South Africans I speak to, particularly the young, all tell me the same story. The ANC want to kick whites out of South Africa, how bad it is there, Julius Malema, etc etc. A far cry from 1994.

    Now this gets me thinking and America is on the same path. Right now, most people are sitting quietly, thinking everything will just be OK. Maybe they have a point. Anti racism, etc. Fast forward to 2050 and when the crime is bad in America, whites are the minority and it seems horrible, what will they do? Flee of course to Eastern Europe!

    Immigration is the main problem in the U.S. South Africa had a local(I won't say "native" since Bantus were genocidal invaders, not indigenous) population which greatly outnumbered the white population. That isn't primarily what is happening in the U.S. The reason is because liberalism also reduces the fertility of non-whites substantially(in addition to many other ills). The black fertility rate might actually be less than the white rate without the impact of Afro-Caribbeans, Somalis, etc. One of the things that keeps the U.S. from descending much further into the depths is liberalism's destructive impact on minorities. It will take substantially more immigration to permanently wreck the United States.

    American cons long clucked about the "no-go zones" of Europe, when most of our cities are considerably more violent.

    Well, a key difference is that about 8% of South Africans are of European descent while even in 30 years at least 40% of Americans will be.

    The problem is, all of this mainly third world immigration is not improving the quality of life. Instead it is leading to mass ghettoisation along with a heavy increase in violent crimes. When the white population does get to 40%, I expect the U. S at this point to really start to resemble Brazil and South Africa. I don’t think many of those white people are going to want to stick around and will vote with their feet.

    Correct. It will make things more crowded, noisy, and "exotic" in a way that natives didn't ask for. Wages for the working class will go down.

    Not really. Places like LA or Compton have gotten safer as a result of the Mexican immigration. El Paso is the safest large US city.

    Our non-white people are going to be primarily Latin American Mestizos, who are very different from non-Whites in Brazil or South Africa. They will mix with our working class, make it darker and noisier, and tacos will become as "American" as pizza and hamburgers (they are already halfway there). The unfortunate Blacks will be pushed into the fringes. Upper class Whites and Asians will remain in charge. There will be more than enough of them to keep industries and technology globally competitive. Not an ideal future, but not an apocalypse either.

    The idea that China’s younger generations are more supportive of the CPC against western subversion is not all that accurate, at least from my conservative viewpoint. Most of them subscribe to a pseudo-Maoist, left-leaning version of “progressive nationalism”, which I think may eventually face a legitimacy crisis, rather than a more racially conscious version. Chinese zoomers are likely far less racist/anti-homo than their Russian or South Korean counterparts.

    Replies: @Hartnell, @Daniel Chieh

    That maybe the case but somehow I can’t see the Chinese youth wanting to demographically swamp themselves as is the case with the West. There might be more progressive politics in China eventually settling for better treatment of its ethnic minority populations and more freedom of speech. But I don’t see it going absolutely crazy.

    The vast majority in China believe there’s too much positive discrimination, which failed to uplift ethnic minorities economically, and did not create better interethnic relations, so that’s not really a problem.
    The biggest challenges IMO are economic inequality and gender issues, the former may eventually force China to democratize, and the latter inevitably pushes young women into cosmopolitanism and hatred towards authority. Unfortunately China’s official ideology has neither the ability to address these issues nor the instruments for fighting back.

    Good try by Macron but I think this is a lost cause. Generally I think Western Europe has too many Muslims (and Africans), and these populations are growing, to stem the tide of either ultimate subsumation or ethnic wars. These 2 groups are nearly(if not absolutely) non-intregable without the extinction of the host nations' ethno-culture. To me, the future of Western Europe is bleak and can be, once these nations collapse, used as examples to explicitly demonstrate the failure of ideological globohomomulticulturalism preached by Western European elites like Macron and his ilks.
    True Islam ='Islamism'. The Islamic faith is holistic in an adherent's way of life. Islam has its own laws(Sharia) and in reality is a theocracy, it is religion and politics, never religion alone . One cannot argue for an Islam with no total political power.
    If Western Europe wanted migrants from Muslim countries, then they should have only allowed in those who renounced Islam because Islam is always political and is totally incompatible with Western ideas of secularism.
    Good luck to Macron in his lost cause. The West fails because they brought down Christendom as a religious-ideological bulwark against Islam and left their populations directionless with secularism. Their elites failed to realize that the common folk needs something to adhere to and Christendom was that tool. Secularism is recipe to disaster.. Especially one that promotes globohomomulticulti.

Will be great for places like Ukraine and Belarus that could do with the investment and need a population boom. What Hitler failed to achieve for the Germans the Muslims have succeeded in doing.

    The eventual collapse of Western Europe is a logical consequence of current elite policies leading to demographic displacement of indigenous Europeans by Muslims and Sub-Saharan Africans. What mystifies me is the staying power of the EU/"progressive" European political elites. They get voted in again and again. Perhaps the numbers of non integrable migrants have not reached a critical mass to cause such severe societal disruptions enough to expose the failures of farcical policies of these European political elites.
    Hopefully Eastern Europe has not become like Western Europe in 30 years time. Russian and Belarusian authorities need to the turn the tide on youthful pro-West tendencies.

    Russia apparently has pro-Govt youth groups like the above. Perhaps Russia can get influencers from such groups in combination with Russian owned social media platforms like that suggested by AK to counter Western social media propaganda?

    France’s Macron details plan targeting Islamist ‘separatism’



    President Emmanuel Macron, trying to rid France of what authorities call a “parallel society” of radical Muslims thriving outside the values of the nation, laid out a series of measures on Friday in a proposed law that would disrupt the education, finances and other means of indoctrination of the vulnerable.

    Macron has coined the term “separatism” to describe the underworld that thrives in some neighborhoods around France where Muslims with a radical vision of their religion take control of the local population to inculcate their beliefs.

    Macron stressed in a speech that stigmatizing French Muslims would be falling into a “trap” laid by radicals. He blamed France itself for organizing the “ghettoization” of a population that could easily fall prey to the preaching of those whose goal is to substitute their laws for those of the nation, and reiterated that secularism is the “cement” of France.

    He spoke in Les Mureaux, a working-class town west of Paris, after meeting with the mayor, Francois Garay, who is largely credited with building projects that help bring the Muslim population into the mainstream. He said that 70 people from the region of Les Yvelines, where the town is located, traveled to Syria and Iraq.

    Macron’s gave his speech while a trial is underway in Paris over the deadly January 2015 attacks on satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket by French-born Islamic extremists. Last week, a man from Pakistan stabbed two people near Charlie Hebdo’s former offices in anger over its publication of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. Macron noted both cases.

    The president laid out a five-point plan aimed at upending the world that lets those who promote a radical brand of Islam thrive, notably via associations or home schools that steep members and students in radical ideology.

    France has the largest Muslim population in Western Europe with up to 5 million members, and Islam is the country’s No. 2 religion.

    The proposed bill, which would go to parliament early next year, would require all children from the age of 3 to attend French schools, and allow distance learning only for medical reasons. Associations, which receive state funding, would be made accountable for their spending, their sometimes invisible leaders and be forced to reimburse misused funds.

    Macron called France’s schools “the heart of secularism (where) children become citizens.”

    Authorities contend that the vector for inculcating Muslims with an extremist ideology was once the mosque but, today, the main vector is schools.

    The proposed measures nevertheless address mosques, which Macron said are sometimes subject to hostile takeovers, as well as imams to keep houses of prayer and preachers out of the control of people who use religion for their own ends.

    “In a few days, you can see radical Islamists...take control of associations (running mosques) and all their finances. That won’t happen again,” the French president said.

    We’re going to install an anti-putsch system, very robust, in the law,” Macron said without elaborating.

    The bill, which is to be sent to religious leaders for review this month, also includes putting a gradual end to the long-standing practice of importing imams from elsewhere, notably Turkey, Algeria and Morocco, and instead training imams in France to assure there are enough. A Muslim organization that serves as an official conduit to French leaders is to take part in the project.

    The rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris cautioned against mixing all Muslims in France with the “separatism question.”

    “For those who let it be believed that Islam is Islamism, and the reverse, there is indeed a distinction between the Muslim religion and the Islamist ideology,” Chems-Eddine Hafiz wrote in a commentary in the newspaper Le Monde.

    However, the rector threw his support behind the initiative — on condition it’s not used as a communications gadget.

    “For nearly 40 years, a ghettoization has progressively installed itself, first urban, then sociological, before becoming ideological and identitarian,” Hafiz, the Paris mosque rector, wrote in his commentary.

    Authorities say there are all kinds of “separatisms,” but Macron said the others are “marginal” while radical Islam is a danger to France because “it sometimes translates into a counter-society.”

    For Macron, a perverse version of the religion has penetrated French society, including public services, from Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport to the transport system. He said some bus drivers have been known to bar women with short skirts from getting aboard.

    The proposed law would also ban “certificates of virginity” provided by doctors to some Muslim women ahead of marriage. Macron, who has made gender equality a priority of his presidency, said the documents are offensive to women’s dignity.

    He conceded the fight he proposes would be long because “what took decades to build won’t be put down in a day.”

  • I agree with Hartnell that it is indeed too late to ‘save’ Russian youth from the clutches of the West, if we indeed believe the polls mentioned by AK in his many posts. Censoring Facebook and Twitter will push them even more into the embrace of globohomomulticulti West because it will ‘confirm’ (in their eyes at least) Western media assertions that the Russian Govt is anti-freedom and a dictatorship. I used to hope that Russia would be the last bastion in Europe standing against globohomomulticulti but if Russian youths are that brainwashed, then there is no hope except a near future European Union implosion due to their multicultural agenda with ensuing poverty and white slavery by Muslim and African immigrant overlords, similar to that envisaged by Hartnell. If the EU remains successful in the near future, it will spell doom for Russia. It is the end of indigenous Europeans. It is a depressing thought but nothing can be done if Russian and European youths themselves in the majority hate their own identities and vote for a future of no more indigenous Europeans.
    I am of Chinese descent from southeast Asia but admire the different European cultures, too bad all these are inevitable.
    I think (and hope) China will not follow the path of Russia. Perhaps being non-white is one of the factors that helps insulate Chinese youth from full blown Western propaganda. Russian youth identifies with Western white youth (apparent) material wealth and ‘freedoms’. Perceived Western white racism towards Asians partially insulates Chinese youth from Western internet propaganda and perhaps helps the CPC to inculcate nationalism for the Motherland.

  • This conversation has actually gotten me thinking about the future, liberalism, wealth creation and I have noticed a rather interesting cycle that does seem to constantly repeat itself throughout history and is actually relevant to our times. Allow me to explain.

    When a society is first formed, it always starts out as very poor and Conservative. Eventually the society starts to grow, becoming more wealthy and Liberal with each passing generation until eventually it starts to decline and collapse.

    In some cases, this collapse is facilitated by a more advanced power taking over a declining Liberal society such as the case of Ancient Rome taking over Ancient Greece, the latter being described as being nothing more then dancers and artists. The Assyrians conquering Ancient Israel comes to mind also.

    In other cases, it is a large underperforming population that takes over and starts to form a new dark age. The Germanic tribes invading Rome, the current migrant crisis in Europe, these are examples of this phenomenon.

    Now this is where it gets interesting. The survivor populations that eventually become the minority. What usually happens is that the once dominant population always becomes a Conservative minority. Some eventually die out and intermingle if the dominating tribe is similar in their outlook. Others become more inward and bent on survival at all costs.

    We can see this phenomenon taking shape with the Jews, the Greeks, the Armenians, Circassians, Georgians, even the Afrikaners to an extent . All of these groups I would term as part of a wealthy substrata that are intensely patriotic and want to survive.

    I think that is the overall trend for white people down the pipeline. They are still majorities, they are still Liberal, but eventually they will probably start to dig their heels in when it becomes obviously clear that they are the minority and the new majority just isn’t quite that friendly.

    That said, I still stick by my Eastern European migration hypothesis as people always try to flee tto the friendly neighbouring tribe until there is no where left to run.

    As for the Russians, I suspect that this phenomenon will take shape in Russia too but at a much longer interval. Dmitry is right, Russia is just not that economically advanced yet to be worried about SJW concerns. Aside from Moscow and St. Petersburg, the rest of the country is still 50 years behind and very Conservative. Even amongst my discussions with Russian youth, their main focus is economic and they don’t have time to be worrying about saving Africa when they need to develop the rest of the country.
