I think an adage might fit here. You can take the people out of the slum, but they will build a new slum around themselves. You must first take the slum out of the people, and they will take themselves out of the slum.

You can throw $Billions at the problem, but until the people adopt higher principles, the money won't solve the problem

The problem I see is migrants who leave third world conditions in their homeland, but bring with them, and demand their right to maintain, the cultural norms and practices that produce the conditions they are trying to escape.


All the while taking advantage of generous welfare programs of the host countries whose ideals and cultures they object to! Roll Eyes

Hope you don't mind my slight adjustment.

It's already too late, unless people are willing to fight and die for western civilization, it's toast. The apex of humanity has been the past 500 years, we're just on the downward side of this thing. It will get worse and worse until it falls completely off the cliff.

I hate to be all doom and gloom about it but barbarism has won. The base instincts of mankind have beaten out the better angels of our nature.

Congratulations, Bill. You're only 4 years behind the curve.

Great job, you freakin' genius. You get on board the Common Sense Train after it's too late. Fucking brilliant, Einstein, just brilliant. Roll Eyes

I guess I see a different picture. Things will get uglier, but if we stick to our principles, we will win.

The demographic concerns shown in the video are disturbing.

But why does the native European population not sustain itself?
I would submit it is the misery of socialism.
... and that is reversible as Scoutmaster says, if we stick to our principles



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Tell me then, how are the noble principles of western civilization going to overcome a birth rate 8 times higher? You're asking the average western couple to have 8 times more children. Do you see that realistically happening?

No. I don't. And we don't need 8 times more children. We need 2.1 vs. the current 1.8 or whatever.

And.... we have to keep the 3rd world shitheads from invading our country. Trump is right.

As for Europe, I would agree: it's probably too late. Unless they quickly act as Poland has. And they won't.
But the Muslims haven't taken America yet.

We don't have to match the birthrate of the shitheads we just have to keep them in their own countries where they will kill each other off.

let's play that game then.

we've got a group of children 2.1 westerns vs 8.1 muslims

those children then pair off and have the number of children as prescribed.

now we've got 2.2 western children and 32.4 muslim children.

lets move to the next generation
2 more western kids and 129 muslim children

how about the generation after that?

2 western kids and 518 muslims, the western kids are now half a percent of the total population.

we're not only fighting an idea here, we're fighting mathematics.

Yes. True.
And the Muslims are not compatible with a political and social philosophy centered on natural, or God-given, INDIVIDUAL rights.

They will, at some point, have to be defeated for the principles of Western civilization to survive.

A couple of thoughts. First, leftist/socialist principles are unstable; in time socialist societies will either self destruct or will destroy each other. Second, if we abandon our principles, we become our own enemy.

Seems simple to me. The 8 stages of civilization at work, and proven several times over.

1.From bondage to spiritual growth
2.From spiritual growth to great courage
3.From courage to liberty
4.From liberty to abundance
5.From abundance to complacency
6.From complacency to apathy
7.From apathy to dependence
8.From dependence back to bondage

One can decide at which stage the modern world is today, but seems to me to be somewhere between 7 & 8.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil...
