From the National Interest in 2017:
I’ve Worked with Refugees for Decades. Europe’s Afghan Crime Wave Is Mind-Boggling.
Afghans stand out among the refugees committing crimes in Austria and elsewhere. Why?by Cheryl Benard
Cheryl Benard is an Austrian-born academic. She is the wife of Afghanistan-born U.S. diplomat Zalmay Khalilzad, who was U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan under GW Bush.
… But there was one development that had not been expected, and was not tolerable: the large and growing incidence of sexual assaults committed by refugees against local women. These were not of the cultural-misunderstanding-date-rape sort, but were vicious, no-preamble attacks on random girls and women, often committed by gangs or packs of young men. At first, the incidents were downplayed or hushed up—no one wanted to provide the right wing with fodder for nationalist agitation, and the hope was that these were isolated instances caused by a small problem group of outliers. As the incidents increased, and because many of them took place in public or because the public became involved either in stopping the attack or in aiding the victim afterwards, and because the courts began issuing sentences as the cases came to trial, the matter could no longer be swept under the carpet of political correctness. And with the official acknowledgment and public reporting, a weird and puzzling footnote emerged. Most of the assaults were being committed by refugees of one particular nationality: by Afghans.
Actually Afghans should not even have been part of the refugee tide, at least not in significant numbers. It was the Syrians who were expected. Afghanistan, a place of lingering and chronic conflict, is no longer on the official refugee roster—that’s reserved for acute political and military emergencies. … But it quickly became obvious that something was wrong, very wrong, with these young Afghan men: they were committing sex crimes to a much greater extent than other refugees, even those from countries that were equally or more backward, just as Islamic and conservative, and arguably just as misogynist.
This is not an article that has been fun for me to write. I have worked on issues related to refugees for much of my professional life, from the Pakistani camps during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan to Yemen, Sudan, Thailand, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Lebanon, Bosnia, Nicaragua and Iraq, and have deep sympathy for their plight. But nowhere had I encountered a phenomenon like this one.
… It took a while for the pattern to be recognized because, until recently, western European media deliberately refrained from identifying an assailant’s refugee or asylum status, or his country of origin. Only when the correlation became so dramatic that it was itself newsworthy did this policy change. At that point, it became clear that the authorities had known about, and for political reasons had deliberately covered up, large-scale incidences of sexual assault by migrants. For example, a gang of fifty Afghans who terrorized women in the neighborhood of the Linz train station had been brushed off by a government official with the remark that this was an unfortunate consequence of bad weather, and that once summer came the young men would disperse into the public parks and no longer move in such a large, menacing pack. The public was not amused. …
Let’s leave aside the reprehensibility of this conduct for the moment and focus instead on its logic or lack thereof. Can these men possibly expect that their attempts will be successful? Do they actually think they will be able to rape a woman on the main street of a town in the middle of the day? On a train filled with other passengers? In a frequented public park in the early afternoon? Are they incapable of logical thought—or is that not even their aim? Do they merely want to cause momentary female hysteria and touch some forbidden places of a stranger’s body? Is that so gratifying that it’s worth jeopardizing their future and being hauled off to jail by scornful and disgusted Europeans? What is going on here? And why, why, why the Afghans? According to Austrian police statistics, Syrian refugees cause fewer than 10 percent of sexual assault cases. Afghans, whose numbers are comparable, are responsible for a stunning half of all cases. …
This brings us to a third, more compelling and quite disturbing theory—the one that my Afghan friend, the court translator, puts forward. On the basis of his hundreds of interactions with these young men in his professional capacity over the past several years, he believes to have discovered that they are motivated by a deep and abiding contempt for Western civilization. To them, Europeans are the enemy, and their women are legitimate spoils, as are all the other things one can take from them: housing, money, passports. Their laws don’t matter, their culture is uninteresting and, ultimately, their civilization is going to fall anyway to the horde of which one is the spearhead. No need to assimilate, or work hard, or try to build a decent life here for yourself—these Europeans are too soft to seriously punish you for a transgression, and their days are numbered.

Why is she certain these men are all Afghan? Britain has long had a very similar problem with men from much-larger Pakistan (just how many emigrants can Afghanistan withstand?), and, at the risk of revealing myself to be a terrible racist, I’m sure there are large swathes of the map where these “Afghan” sexual mores are prevalent. Is a man who’d rape a woman on a train too pure to lie about his refugee status?
Their names are fake, and the birthdays – but not the country of origin, no…
But for us it doesn't really matter all that much whether or not every claimed "Afghan" is or isn't Afghani. As you point out, the results of importing Pakistanis have been about the same as the results of importing Afghans: mass sexual abuse. So why import either?Replies: @Barack Obama's secret Unz account

Who says Afghans don’t have rhythm?
I did mail this article around in Germany some time ago, posted and got not many friendly responses, hehe.
I repeated my task last week et voilá – Hadmut Danisch, one of the most read German bloggers did publish it and write about it at great length. Still, nobody has undertaken the task to translate this thrilling text and publish it. As James Thompson twittered last week with regard to Benard’s essay: Everything that borders on group differences does make people rather uncomfortable. And her text sure does – both things.
Btw. Ceryl Benard was once a child star and played with famous Marianne Koch in the series Der Landarzt (The Countrydoctor) – Marianne Koch quit acting with forty to become a doctor herself and lived happily ever after (she had her 90th birthday last week and is very much into healthy living and exercising etc. (she did many radio shows and wrote about half a dozen books on this subject).
I’m not sure, but the blonde kid 3:50 in might be Cheryl Benard – she says, she has to sell the flowers to the just arriving new doctor (Marianne Koch), because she “has to earn money” (Ich muss doch Geldd verdienen).

Her writing partner is one Edit Schlaffer, the founder of Women Without Borders, which is too close to “women without boundaries” for comfort. (Edit is apparently German for Edith, not her job description.)

Well, that can’t be worse than their other “donees”, with creepy names like ActBlue LLC, Broadway Cares, Everytown for Gun Safety, and Jewish Voice for Peace. As well as old standbys MoveOn, Planned Parenthood, and the SPLC.
Twenty or so years ago, say around 2001, it was probably better to be an American or European called Benard than to be called Khalilzad. Maybe not so now.
How could she tell the future?
Not at all. It is strategic. Benard is more advantageous than Khalilzad in opening doors of opportunity. Similarly, Naomi Osaka's parents figured Osaka is more helpful than Francois. Don't you think if Obama's parents had thoughtfully named him Barack Dunham, he would have probably avoided the Birth Certificate controversy? Look how far Kamala Harris (and Nikki Haley) have come compared to Bobby Jindal (who is actually much smarter than both Kamala and Nikki). Would Kamala Harris be V.P. today if her name was Kamala Gopalan or Nikki Haley would be considered Presidential aspirant if she were Nikki Randhawa?

Is not being burka’ed just considered a de facto invitation to these men?

The answer is simple and obvious:
Their own women are precious and protected and ‘belong’ to their own people – more specifically their husbands.
The women of the kuffar, the aliens – who dress and act like disobedient whores – are fair game.
OT but I'm looking forward to "Management Books" bearing titles like "How to be a Taliban in Business" and similar stuff.
They know German men will not protect their women.
I’ve been mulling over a couple questions lately:
A) Who on earth are the tens of thousands of American civilians supposedly still in Afghanistan?
Surely not tourists! My guess is mainly civilian military contractors — among them soldiers who figured they could get paid a lot more as contractors than as official military.
And probably some idiot NGO employees who lacked the sense to leave in a timely manner.
And perhaps some Afghan natives who have acquired US citizenship.
A great power defends its citizens. But the US citizens left in Afghanistan cannot be an ordinary American family visiting from Des Moines.
B) We are told that we have to protect the Afghans who “helped” us, but isn’t the whole idea that we were there to “help” the people of Afghanistan?
I suppose the answer is that this is a tacit admission that the whole nation-building thing was always a joke.
I’m not objecting to getting the people out who were most closely associated with us — e.g., the translators.
But it might be nice if the whole discussion — concerning the American citizens still in country and the Afghans who helped us — were a bit more open and transparent.

The State Department has lots of civilians in every fifth world hell hole doing non military things. American agriculture department employees teaching primitives how to farm irrigation suitable profitable livestock and crops. Vast numbers of American medics setting up hospitals and clinics nursing schools public health departments etc Afghanistan isn’t advanced enough for engineers etc designing sewer and water systems except in the biggest cities. But the state department has thousands of Americans all over the world building infrastructure that the primitives can’t build themselves.
It’s not just women’s and gay activists. Many of the Americans are agriculture consultants and the equivalent of an American department of water and power or state highway building and maintenance department or school district headquarters county hospital and clinic system.
These other activities are run by the state department but the people involved aren’t state department employees. They’re from department of agriculture, Bechtel, numerous government agencies and private companies. Private companies that make a fortune. Government agencies that should be helping Americans.
All using the American taxpayers money to attempt to drag primitives into the modern world as our own infrastructure is falling apart.

Zalmay Khalilzad is very Neocon. I would not trust anything these people say.
I’m not arguing that any Western country ought to receive Afghan immigrants, far from it. But I think this is more of an attempt to throw shade at Joe Biden for withdrawing than it is an attempt to protect Europe from Afghan crime.
There’s been surprisingly little comment on the real reason behind the Afghani debacle – namely the massive population growth in Afghanistan which, in thorough Malthusian fashion, has outstripped the means of supporting it, thus engendering the norm of violence and conflict. Similarly, in Syria, the enormous population growth of past decades, and the resulting immiseration provided the underlying factor to the anti Assad rebellion.
Likely the appalling bloodshed and criminality seen in Mexico and central America can be ascribed to the same cause.
The moral here is that the third world is a continual state of violence,cane these Malthusian conflicts are liable to spring up at any time, catching western politicians unawares.
Due to the prevailing Economist/lefty ‘woke’ consensus amongst the western elite, the western response will be to allow full unimpeded access to the west for the ‘victims’ of these conflicts.
Take note that today’s massive population growth is in black Africa, and there, surely, the bloody conflicts of the near future will occur.
Add to this the woke/Economist view that whites ‘owe’ blacks in particular a special favor and special debt ………
But agree generally on population.
The way--the only way--you can do effective population control is for people to control their nations population. Which is a) within your power and b) worth doing if your people reap the rewards for it.
But when you go into "population control mode" that inherently means "closed borders". It does no good to limit your population ... and then instead of destressing your environment ... you simply get flooded by foreigners who have not limited their population! That's ... uh ... insane!
Three quarters of the world's land surface are nations that are at or below replacement fertility. The "population crisis" should be basically over. But ... the West--which has been at subreplacement fertility for a couple generations--continues to grow. Well not actually "the West" but the "countries reportedly assigned 'West' previously (CRAWP).

Imagine going to some decadent Western nation from your Third World failed state and discovering that you can actually get away with molesting their women. Or more precisely: you can molest their women, the courts will chew you out a little and then, worst case scenario, send you to a cosy prison where living conditions are still 5x better than they were in your home country. And I imagine the Afghans were probably sharing stories of such molestations. Maybe there was even some one-upmanship involved: how much can I get away with, etc.

\$2.26 trillion spent on the war and aid to Afghanistan, but only \$9 billion left in Afghanistan’s foreign currency reserves, which the US has now frozen. It is reasonable to assume that some of the money from her husband’s kickbacks found its way into her account and that this was covered up by the Austrian authorities.
What a disgusting couple.
What percentage are even caught, much less prosecuted? I’d say fairly few, given our authorities’ determination to look the other way. The risk/reward calculus is very much in their favor.
And with the likes of Matty Yglesias and his ilk running things, we’re going to have hundreds of millions of these people and our once-civilized societies will be a distant memory at best.

I like Polistra’s joke above, but, no, this lady is in no danger of becoming based. She gives the people every excuse in the book and makes it out like there’s just something wrong with this very small subset of people (what about the, what is it, millions, of Pakistanis in England?)

Anyway, movie-wise, I’ve been behind, and I finally watched the 2nd half of The Man Who Would Be King. Sean Connery got into the power of being a god there, doling out wisdom like Solomon. Contrary from what I’d just read, he didn’t want the girl for sex that bad. (Otherwise he and Peachy would have gotten chicks earlier, in the military campaign.) He was really into this whole Siskander/Alexander saga, so he wanted an heir to leave to them. The girl was pretty enough, though – in the credits I saw that her last name was Caine. Whaaa? Did Michael Caine marry a native (Moroccan, as that’s when the “Afghanistan” parts of the movie were filmed), or did she get darkened up for the movie?
That was just one more theme the writer put in there – criminals can never seem to quit cold turkey when they are ahead. Of course, it wasn’t additional criminal acts that did these 2 in (almost), but, man, if it were just about the girl(s), why not buy up that one chick Roxanne on the way out of the country for not even 1% of your riches?

Yes, that is the answer, and is even endorsed in Cheryl Benard’s article, though she shies away from the obvious implications:
Indeed, that one paragraph, particularly the second half, could easily displace a million pages of left-liberal hand-wringing over immigration and thereby massively increase public understanding. Therefore expect this article to be suppressed and it’s contents to be “debunked” (i.e., factlessly declared inadmissible in the court of public opinion).
Benard herself being one of those consensual spoils, I suppose.
What's changed is the West's attitude toward the conduct of war--but not the reality of war itself. The West believes it can conduct "security operations," sparing non-combatants, while sitting down at negotiating tables to iron-out a conflict resolution.
The West no longer believes in the need to crush the enemy's will to fight and impose an unconditional surrender on the defeated party. Just implement some pacification operations, and it's all good...Replies: @Almost Missouri
That’s what the MSM wants you to believe after it turned out that Trump’s plan to withdraw from Afghanistan was massively popular with the American people. But that’s not what Biden said or did at any time in the prior nineteen years. All those years he was a reliable shill for more war and more US commitment. His “major” disagreement with Obama was that he wanted 20,000 more troops rather than 40,000 more troops. (Obama compromised on 30,000. Hey, Leadership!)

She is intimately familiar with Afghans, for among other reasons, being married to one. Elsewhere in the article she waxes lyrical about who “can distinguish the delicate features of a Hazara from those of a Pashtun.”
But for us it doesn’t really matter all that much whether or not every claimed “Afghan” is or isn’t Afghani. As you point out, the results of importing Pakistanis have been about the same as the results of importing Afghans: mass sexual abuse. So why import either?
We agree that Afghan or not doesn't matter as far as rapes and other crimes go. But my point is also that these clowns refuse to acecpt that, and instead wish to promulgate psychobabble about certain unique properties of Afghan culture - properties induced, of course, by our actions. It's our fault that Afghans rape, you see, and it's in our power to change this about them. We have a responsibility...
In reality, vast rapey hordes are taking advantage of this guilt and naivete by falsely claiming refugee status, and the only thing we can do about it is to keep them out.

It’s almost like the system of law and order set up for Austrians doesn’t perform as well with Afghans. How could anyone imagine that a clannish society set up on concentric circles of loyalty living under cultural precepts of Wahhabism could produce men who might create a logic of assaulting outgroup women once they realise that the expected retribution from those women’s men doesn’t come and the Austrian police don’t mete it out in their stead. You have to ask yourself, at that scale, is a brutal justice system producing this mentality or is it a response to it?
The Austrian police didn’t because they don’t make a distinction between Austrians and foreigners and they don’t do it in part because you’re not supposed to suggest Austria belongs to Austrians. But those Afghan men think differently and if you try to explain that those women don’t belong to anyone they’ll just smirk. Those men were actively making war on the host society at the lowest intensity they could without inviting a bullet.
There is a line that the cost of justice is freedom and the cost of freedom is justice. But the amount you have to pay is predicated on the people you’re working with.
People innately don’t like or trust clannish people like Afghans or Roma and for good reason.
I’d imagine she has met many children, has seen not observed that mentality even in small children with the glint not of charm but psychopathy in their eyes? The mild discomfort she feels when she sees these children and her innate response is to think so many of the boys look like bullies or trouble-makers? No, she suppresses it and thinks it can’t be so. She doesn’t mean the ones past late adolescence… It’s one thing to think those women can be assaulted, it’s another to actually do it.

The New York Post ran an article on ten Americans stuck in Afghanistan, and each of the ten appeared to be an Afghan who had gotten American papers.
I would add that most, if not all, of those in the last category had other other passports as well, so if Western State Departments and Foreign Offices concerned themselves with those who only have a Western passport versus those who have a Western passport among other passports, they would find they suddenly have a lot less to worry about.
I would also add that the foreigners-as-paper-citizens phenomenon was most pronounced among the British Commonwealth passport holders (especially UK, Canada, Australia) while the US and continental European passport holders were closer to what one might traditionally expect. But this was a couple decades ago, and I suspect things have moved in the Commonwealth direction all across the West since then.

(Mr. Ghani supposedly renounced his U.S. loyalties as part of his 2009 election campaign for President of Afghanistan, although there's no proof he actually formally surrendered his U.S. passport—especially since Ghani lost that race, finishing in 4th place with 2.9% of the vote, behind Hamid Karzai's 49.7%, Abdullah Abdullah's 30.6% and Ramazan Bashardost's 10.5%.

As I might have mentioned, I used to work in a Middle Eastern country that while not exactly sedate, was far from “war-torn”. I would estimate that among the Western passport holders working there, the ratio of Western citizens born of “heritage Western” ancestry, compared to Western citizens born of non-Western heritage, compared to non-Westerners who somehow got Western papers, was about 1 : 1 : 3. I imagine that as a place gets more “war-torn”, the first category diminishes while the last category increases.
I would add that most, if not all, of those in the last category had other other passports as well, so if Western State Departments and Foreign Offices concerned themselves with those who only have a Western passport versus those who have a Western passport among other passports, they would find they suddenly have a lot less to worry about.

Relocated peasants in urban areas tends to translate into second generation gang culture, whether you are dealing with Irish, Italians, Vietnamese, Mexicans, Salvadorans, Turks, or Pakistanis. Nothing new there. Social dysfunction among immigrant groups where a large portion of the immigrant wave suffers from PTSD is also a thing, as anybody who has dealt with the Khmer diaspora around Seattle can attest to.
What’s different, among other things, is the leadership of a country systematically brutalizing its own people for 18 months as a matter of policy, economically and socially, only to be shocked when the result is a severe lack of interest in relocating millions of refugees and mass immunity to moral hectoring.

1) Bureaucratic inertia. Also, incompetent ass covering. Just listen to Milley and Company. Occam’s razor applies here. Lord, how the US military has fallen.
2) If we really wanted to help the people of Afghanistan, we’d let the Taliban come in and restore order. Don’t think I labor under any delusions about the Taliban’s nature, least of all the notion that they are interested in liberal international values and can be hectored like schoolchildren about them. That’s cold. It’s cruel. But it’s also inevitable. What’s the alternative? Staying forever and further postponing the inevitable in a pointless effort to prevent the ISI from having its satellite? It’s worth pointing out that a lot of Afghans-the kind who do not get air time on CNN-may dislike the Taliban, but dislike chaos and war more, no different to how your average Vietnamese peasant felt in another lost war.
I’m perfectly OK with getting Afghans who worked for us out, both on a moral and practical level. That’s doable, because the Taliban is aware that the last thing they want to do is provoke the US too badly here. But we’ve spent trillions of dollars trying to do something impossible: make Afghanistan into Not Afghanistan. Those trillions of dollars could have been spent at home on the American people, of course, but as ever, the American government and cultural elite view America as an endless supply of resources to be tapped for ideological fixations, not a nation and specific place which they have a duty to. Having failed in their endeavors abroad, they now bring them home: and the consequences are only just beginning.

American agriculture department employees teaching primitives how to farm irrigation suitable profitable livestock and crops. Vast numbers of American medics setting up hospitals and clinics nursing schools public health departments etc Afghanistan isn’t advanced enough for engineers etc designing sewer and water systems except in the biggest cities. But the state department has thousands of Americans all over the world building infrastructure that the primitives can’t build themselves.
It’s not just women’s and gay activists. Many of the Americans are agriculture consultants and the equivalent of an American department of water and power or state highway building and maintenance department or school district headquarters county hospital and clinic system.
These other activities are run by the state department but the people involved aren’t state department employees. They’re from department of agriculture, Bechtel, numerous government agencies and private companies. Private companies that make a fortune. Government agencies that should be helping Americans.
All using the American taxpayers money to attempt to drag primitives into the modern world as our own infrastructure is falling apart.
The missionary instinct is strong.

“To them, Europeans are the enemy, and their women are legitimate spoils, as are all the other things one can take from them: housing, money, passports. Their laws don’t matter, their culture is uninteresting and, ultimately, their civilization is going to fall anyway to the horde of which one is the spearhead. No need to assimilate, or work hard, or try to build a decent life here for yourself—these Europeans are too soft to seriously punish you for a transgression, and their days are numbered.”
These sound like true practitioners of the one true faith, Islam. Historically, this has been a major tenet of Islam: The house of Peace (the believers) vs the house of War (the unbelievers), and ever eternal conflict until Islam emerges triumphant around the world.
Remember the fire at a Saudi girls’ school where several died because they were not properly dressed to go outside? In most of the world, men would see that as an occasion for gallantry, and do their best to save lives, at risk to their own.
Semites are an alien race, however. Their men would see it as an opportunity for something else.
Covering up women says more about their opinion of men than about that of women. And it is no doubt based upon centuries of experience with those men.

Pro tip to Provo gals. Carry one of these small 110-decibel alarms. (I do.) “Deviate your path” is the first line of defense where pigmentation is a cue. (I do.) But in this case, pigmentation will not be a cue to deviate. Therefore, the alarm becomes crucial. A tough decision: When a refugee walks up to you but has not done anything yet. Maybe he is a dentist asking for directions to the dental seminar. You would have to set off the alarm and risk insulting the dentist. Risk it. If he is really a dentist, he will understand.
Exactly!
From the article:

When a Pakistani in UK is ready for marriage, they get a marriage partner from Pakistan. Their family demands this for raw monetary reasons.

Neocon Fox News TV host Sean Hannity was interviewing an “American stranded in Afghanistan by Joe Biden”. The “American” with an exotic name did not know a lick of English and had to speak through an interpreter to translate. But apparently this U.S. citizen who likely never set foot on U.S. soil has paperwork asserting he is just as much an American as a native-born American like Omar Mateen.
The erstwhile President of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani, has been a U.S. citizen since the 1960s; his two adult children, both born in the U.S., are dual Afghan-U.S. citizens.
His Lebanese Maronite Christian wife, exiled First Lady of Afghanistan Rula Saadah Ghani, is a triple-citizen of Afghanistan, Lebanon, and the United States.
Presumably they would all be considered “Americans stranded in Afghanistan” by U.S. media/politicians, if not for Ghani’s personal presidential privilege to jet out of Kabul with bags full of cash headed for Abu Dhabi at first sign of Taliban trouble.
(Mr. Ghani supposedly renounced his U.S. loyalties as part of his 2009 election campaign for President of Afghanistan, although there’s no proof he actually formally surrendered his U.S. passport—especially since Ghani lost that race, finishing in 4th place with 2.9% of the vote, behind Hamid Karzai’s 49.7%, Abdullah Abdullah’s 30.6% and Ramazan Bashardost’s 10.5%. Yet in that sham democracy he went from single-digits to winning an obviously illusory popular mandate to lead Afghanistan in 2014.)

Turkey, like most civilized countries has a surplus of professionally educated young adults. Who can’t find jobs in their professions because there aren’t enough jobs. The business owners craftsmen medics teachers, none of them want competition for scarce jobs. Erdogan’s solution was to keep the Syrians on welfare instead of taking jobs from Turks.

I’m guessing the Afghans would manage to be feuding and fighting if they were still at the 20 odd million when we invaded, rather than rushing toward 40.
But agree generally on population.
The way–the only way–you can do effective population control is for people to control their nations population. Which is a) within your power and b) worth doing if your people reap the rewards for it.
But when you go into “population control mode” that inherently means “closed borders”. It does no good to limit your population … and then instead of destressing your environment … you simply get flooded by foreigners who have not limited their population! That’s … uh … insane!
Three quarters of the world’s land surface are nations that are at or below replacement fertility. The “population crisis” should be basically over. But … the West–which has been at subreplacement fertility for a couple generations–continues to grow. Well not actually “the West” but the “countries reportedly assigned ‘West’ previously (CRAWP).
Mullah Omar the leader of the Taliban government at the time of 9/11 only visited Kabul twice in his life. He spent all his time in Kandahar.

We agree that Afghan or not doesn’t matter as far as rapes and other crimes go.

It’s our fault that Afghans rape, you see, and it’s in our power to change this about them. We have a responsibility…

Veblen pretended that conspicuous consumption was something that men did out of the pleasure of knowing that women could not.
As an example he used the consumption of excess amounts of alcohol. His argument was that men deny their wives that extra shot of scotch so that their own will taste that much sweeter.
In fact, conspicuous consumption – a.k.a. teasing – is almost entirely a female vice.
The sort of man who has taps in his shoes so that you’ll hear him coming and going is a little light in the loafers. The sort of man who invites reporters in to see his golden toilet is named Trump. Arousing desire and jealousy in other people is universally recognized as a disgusting trait in a man.
It is the modus operandi of women just as much as rape is the modus operandi of men.
Most Western societies restricts the latter to the degree that 1 in 3 women surveyed in the US regarding winking by an unattractive male to be prosecutable. The former of course is not only unrestricted but encouarged. The result is – well, I don’t have to tell you. If you are male and live in the west you know the result only too well.
Most Middle Eastern societies only restrict the vices of women. Having your way with a woman who doesn’t “belong” to some male or other who is part of the Ummah is not just allowed but that’s what heaven is. Women however are expected to sacrifice their health and happiness to the utmost degree by covering up from head to toe and remaining indoors lest they arouse any sexual desire in a man that he must then suffer with. The result is women staying home eating and watching tv and becoming too boring not only for their husbands but for themselves.
Most Traditional Judeo-Christian-Hindu societies (Amish, Yeshivish, Franco Spanish, Brahmacharya) restrict the vices of both men and women by describing sex as the most vile, disgusting, devilish desire in existence. In fact, two seconds after gender is created in the form of Eve the phallic snake shows up to tempt Man thus leading to humanity’s exile from Eden and the curse of Death. In these societies the vice of women to catch make attention and the vice of men to touch women are both held in severe check.
Most hunter gatherer societies do little to restrict either vice. Women sexually tease and men aren’t terribly afraid to touch. A large degree of this survives among South African blacks to this day as well as among some descendants of recent hunter-gatherer communities around the world.
Pick your poison.
The little-restricted lattermost approach is the most conducive to human happiness but it’s questionable whether it has multi-generational staying power. Wheresoever private property exists Eden can not be bequeathed.
The Virgin Mary approach is wonderful for the continuation of humankind but often breeds such rancor and unhappiness in forced life-long ownership relationships that carefree human pleasures are reverse alchemised into inexorable plodding duties to God, Country, Family, Office, Offspring, etc.
And the other two approaches are simply downright cruel to half of mankind and half-way cruel to the other half. Women in America would like to be swept off their feet and men in mud hut villages would like their women to not be so humorlessly boring.
But to your larger point and mine, the fact is that Western women who consider themselves to be progressives and on par with men in every way are going out of their way to support the importation of men who would use them as sex dolls and house slaves and then beat or kill them should they dare to object to the privileges of that life.

The problem with Whites isn’t that they want to fight racism or anti-immigrant groups.
The problem is that you could lose your job if you speak out, so nobody does.
Whites are afraid of being called “racist” not because they think it’s morally wrong. They’re afraid of that term because it could result in them being economically ruined and socially ostracized.
Punishment works. Since most Whites are cowardly, it takes little to muzzle them.
The last paragraph of that article absolutely nailed it! The Europeans (and Americans) are indeed soft and feckless and are quickly on the way out. It took several generations of easy living and feminization to get us here, but here we are! If an 80-IQ Afghan can see it, why the hell can’t we? Decades of media propaganda, plus the occasional heavy hand of government (forced desegregation, hate-speech laws, refugee programs, etc.) have had its psychological effect.
White European men were disarmed long ago, so it’s pretty much hopeless for them. But Americans are armed to the teeth. If we only had the will, we could turn this thing around. I suppose it would take some sort of economic collapse and mass hunger to even begin to wake “Joe Sixpack” from his slumber.

The biggest crime story in Austria this summer was about a group of Afghani youths (all “refugees”) who drugged a 13 year old Austrian girl with ecstasy, gang raped her, murdered her and then left her body by a tree on the street as if it were a bag of trash.

Am I to understand that fully 60% of sexual assaults are committed by nationals of these two countries? Since there are probably other Mohamedan nationalities in country, presumably an even higher fraction is done my non-Austrians. Maybe this is the percentage of sexual assaults committed by non-Austrians only?

This information is not accurate. In 2016 there were 64 Afghan citizens suspected of rape, which was a bit less than 10% of total rape cases (725 cleared cases). However, with one rape suspect per 557 Afghan citizens they were greatly overrepresented compared to Austrian citizens (1 rape suspect per 20,000 citizens). If one adjusted for age, the difference would probably diminish but I guess it would still be pretty large.

You seem to be in England, so how about this Pakistani scam? I think I am 85%+ correct on this.
When a Pakistani in UK is ready for marriage, they get a marriage partner from Pakistan. Their family demands this for raw monetary reasons. Due to the father/patriarch of the UK family being paid off handsomely by the Pakistan family. We know why. Because the Pakistan based family now has an immigration foothold in the UK to bring in more members.
I read one case where part of the payment was to send a Pakistan son to the UK family illegally to work for 5 years for zero wages in the UK family’s curry shop, or was it a fish and chips. For just a place to sleep.
And how about the Pakistanis and other Allah-types who live in the UK 3-6 months of the year while scamming housing benefits and money out of your social welfare system? Not that the USA is much better. In both nations the welfare payment bureaucracy is riddled with foreigners, leftists, anarchists.

They live in a vortex, or even a maelstrom, of emotion much of the time.
This is interesting. I have a liberal acquaintance who traveled to Germany to help out at the refugee camps after Merkel let in all those Syrians. He returned disgusted with how awful these refugees were for precisely the reason mentioned in this article: the sexual assaults (also stealing, if I recall correctly).
He indicated they were Syrians. But now I’m wondering if my acquaintance mistakenly assumed they were Syrians when in reality they were Afghans.
