The abrupt dissolution of the USSR and the emergence of the United States as the sole superpower in the last decade of the twentieth century influenced both the political ordering of the world and the ideological foundation upon which said ordering relied. Where previously existed two conflicting worldviews, with their own specific characteristics, the end of the Soviet Union signaled the fall of communism as ideology.
The United States, as the new hegemon, wasted no time in promoting its own system of values based on individual rights, liberal democracy, tolerance, multiculturalism, private property, diversity, political correctness, moral and cultural relativism, scientific materialism, and free-market capitalism. The American system, tightly bound to the perceived victor of the Cold War, by its very nature, strived to fulfill the void created by the disappearance of communism.
The ideology of the United States and, in greater part, the collective West, seemed an inexhaustible source of proven ideas whose value was beyond question while their wisdom was universal and globally applicable. Moreover, in the rapture of Cold War victory, American political scientist and Stanford professor, Francis Fukuyama, wrote his most famous work “The End of History and the Last Man”.[1] With the fall of the Berlin Wall and USSR, Fukuyama claimed, Mankind concluded its long search for the most suitable ideological system. Of course, for the author, the most suitable ideological order was the western system based on capitalism and liberal democracy.[2]
Taking into account current events, we can claim without a doubt that history did not end in manner Mr. Fukuyama predicted, or for that matter, end at all. With time, Fukuyama himself recognized his mistake and adapted to the contemporary political reality[3] which does not seem to be fully favorable towards capitalism as economic system or liberal democracy as a method of societal structuring.
The migrant crisis from 2015, which caused significant changes in the European political scene due to the increasing growth of influence by the national and right-leaning parties across the EU, served as a catalyst for two simultaneous events. On the one hand, the sudden arrival of migrants in large numbers quickly lead to an open clash between migrant cultural norms and those of the societies they arrived in. Violent behavior, increase in crime,[4][5][6] unwillingness to accept the basic level of assimilation,[7][8][9] ghettoization[10][11][12], and the sudden surge in sexual violence,[13][14][15][16][17] mostly directed towards the female population of the host states, unpleasantly shook the established foundations of the western worldview. At the same time, anger of the native population was further exacerbated by the discovery that official state structures where attempting to remove these trends and events from the mainstream information flows, by hiding the relevant statistical data[18][19][20] or through relativization of culprits by invoking social conditions or difference in cultures.
The case best known to Serbian public, from 2016, involving the rape of a Serbian boy by an Iraqi migrant in Austria is a good example of diminishing contact with reality and collapse of moral norms in the countries of the West. While visiting one of the Vienna public pools, a migrant known to media as Amir A. physically forced, at that time a ten-year-old Goran, into a toilet cabin where the boy was sexually abused.[21] Unperturbed, the rapist does not leave but continues to enjoy his time at the pool where he is apprehended by the police.
Amir claimed, as a part of his defense, it was a case of “sexual necessity”[22] given the fact he did not engage in an intercourse for previous four months. Another element of the defense was, an obviously false, allegation of the accused how he was not able to understand the boy’s clear opposition of what was done to him, expressed vocally. Given that so-called “sexual necessity” and the alleged inability to understand the victim’s verbal resistance are such weak and irrelevant arguments in the context of events, any serious person would expect them to be rejected by the court. Thanks to the decades of moral relativism spreading through the Western societies and complete distortion in understanding and application of human rights, the court decided to fully accept the second argument of defense which resulted in the rejection of the original sentence to six years in prison.[23][24] It is noteworthy to point out that the court arrived at this decision despite Amir admitting his crime.[25]
A year later, in 2017 the Senate of the Supreme Court of Justice in Austria decided to reduce the sentence for the rapist to four years in prison.[26] The Chairman of the Senate, Thomas Philip, justified this decision with the claim that four years in prison seemed an appropriate punishment in this case. The Supreme Court of Austria, in a decision which could be interpreted either as an intentional insult to the victim or a display of diminished faculties, concluded that 5.000 euros represented adequate compensation to the abused boy for the humiliation and psychological trauma.[27]
It is of special note that the most severe sentence of the Austrian court, for raping a child, was six years in prison
The only high-ranking politician who voiced his opinion on the situation was Russian President Vladimir Putin. During one of his speeches before the end of 2016, Putin commented that the decision of the Austrian court leads to “dilution of national values”, emphasizing how “a society that cannot defend its children has no future”.[28]
The case from Austria, and the reaction of social and state institutions, reflect the deep-seated distortion of the system in a significant number of Western countries, where it has already become obvious that the broad masses of citizens live in a completely different reality from that of their elites. The highest strata of western societies, especially those from the United States and Great Britain, are the most active advocates of liberal values[29][30] as foundations for a complete societal reorganization[31], while at the same times being the least affected from the social upheavals that such reorganization entails.
Completely detached from their own nations, imbued with a global liberal ideology and driven by the desire to accumulate wealth regardless of the consequences, Western elites have become antagonistic to their own citizens whose physical existence and spiritual heritage is unreservedly sacrificed for narrow economic interests and ideological views. The reaction of the other side is expectedly negative, but slow, given that social engineering within Western countries has been conducted since the end of World War II.
Among the best indicators of the growing divide between the nation’s masses and elites are the growing popularity of previously excommunicated right-wing parties, in a simplistic black and white manner of Hollywood immediately identified with Nazi groups by leftists, and the loss of trust in democratic institutions by the average voter, who more and more turn towards more authoritative forms of social organization.
This process is noticeable throughout Europe and within most members of the European Union. Besides support for the right-wing parties, there has been a marked increase in the attractiveness of strong leaders, unfettered by restrictions imposed through political correctness, who act primarily for the benefit of their own nation and state.
The most obvious example is the support enjoyed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, both inside and outside the Russian Federation. In the past two decades, even at the moment when his popularity was at its lowest level, the President of Russia enjoyed 62% of domestic support.[32] For the purpose of comparison, Putin’s popularity between 2008 and 2015 generally ranged between 78% and 88%. In early 2015, measurements of public support showed that with 86% of domestic support, Vladimir Putin was the most popular politician at the global level. [33] At the same time, Barack Obama and Angela Merkel, respectively, had 46% and 64% support in their countries.[34]
In addition to domestic support, the President of Russia enjoys support in several other countries. According to a 2017 Gallup survey, the average support enjoyed by Vladimir Putin within the 55 selected countries was 43%, enough to rank him among the top four most popular politicians in the world. The lowest support for Putin, outside the borders of Russia, was recorded in Poland, 9%, while the Russian president gained the most popularity in Vietnam, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Serbia.[35][36]
Political observers, interested in statesman’s path of Vladimir Putin, attributed his popularity to a significant improvement in the living standards of average citizens, [37][38][39][40] restoration of Russian military power, reacquirement of the great power status and international prestige, [41] and a resolute struggle against Russia’s internal disintegration.[42][43]
The Russian president is just the most obvious example of a return to the fashion of strong leaders. Viktor Orban in Hungary, Mateo Salvini in Italy, Donald Trump in the United States, Jaroslav Kazinski, leader of the currently dominant political party in Poland, Roberto Fico in Slovakia, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Rodrigo Duaterte in the Philippines and several others have in most cases appeared on the political scene, relatively speaking, recently, [44] and more importantly, with significant public support.
The eastern members of the European Union, especially those in the Visegrad Group, had a very clear and negative attitude regarding the accommodation of migrants. After the terrorist attacks in France and Germany, coupled with other types of crime accompanying the arrival of Middle Eastern and African migrants, people in the eastern part of the Union could perceive the correctness of their governments’ decisions to reject population quotas and prevent unimpeded entry across their borders.
One interesting consequence of this development is that people of Western European countries, those most affected by social unrest in recent years, have begun to see the benefits of an authoritarian regime and a strong leader. This, relatively speaking, sudden political turn also enabled the rise of right-wing[45][46] parties in countries where ten years ago something like that was considered nigh impossible. The success of authoritarian regimes is likewise noticeable outside the socio-political sphere, especially in the case of China, which some already consider, in terms of economy, equal to the United States. The fact that in the period from 2008 to 2018, Beijing managed to build a domestic network of high-speed railways more than 30,000 km[47][48] long and that in 2020 it successfully test a prototype maglev train[49] (a train that moves using the principles of magnetic levitation) whose speed exceeds 600 kmph did not go unnoticed, both among Western elites and citizens. On the other hand, the high-speed rail project promised to the inhabitants of California during 2009 is still waiting to be completed, even though the track is not even 200 kilometers long.[50]
Politicians loyal to left-wing parties, their interests, and values, such as German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, gloomily observe the rise of right-wing parties and without any deeper contemplation brand the process with phrases such as “the old spirit” and “evil spirits of the past”, “showing themselves in a new form.”[51][52][53]
Representatives of the left are increasingly moving away from their own electorate and persistently refusing to see what seems obvious to others. Contemporary populations of Western Europe look to the future with much less enthusiasm and live within societies where fear has become an integral part of everyday life, fear of terrorist attacks, fear of persecution by social networks mobs, fear of losing ones life achievements or fear of losing a job if one makes an erroneous remark about “vulnerable and minority groups” whether they are women, homosexuals or Muslims.
This fear is only exacerbated by a number of situations where state institutions are clearly biased against the interests of the average citizen. Efforts of the German and Swedish authorities to hide the migrant origin of the sexual assault perpetrators[54] is a clear example indicating unwillingness of the state leadership to face the reality. This behavior, for decades accompanied by restricting the rights of the majority for the sake of the minority’s comfort, has transformed fear into distrust of the already established social norms and institutions on which the states of the collective West rest upon.
A study conducted in early 2017 by Ipsos confirmed a high degree of civil distrust in domestic governments and international institutions within five major European countries.[55] A survey conducted in Germany, the UK, Spain, Italy, and France found that most respondents, with the exception of those from Germany, felt their country was growing weaker.[56] The majority of French (61%), Italians (60%) and Spaniards (56%) believed that their lives were worse than the lives of their parents. In Germany (44%) and Britain (43%) a high percentage of respondents agree with this view, although the majority do not share this opinion.
Confidence in national governments was extremely weak. The highest levels of distrust in domestic authorities were in Spain (89%) and Italy (80%). Respondents from France (77%) and Germany (70%) showed a similar degree of distrust. Even in the UK, where the level of trust was highest, as many as 66% of respondents said they did not believe in the elected political representatives.[57]
The most interesting find of the research, which confirms the previously stated views, is reflected in the fact that most respondents, excluding Germans, stressed the need for a strong leader who will “put things in their place” and “change the rules of the game by usurping the status quo.” In Spain, 72% of respondents believed in the need for a strong leader, in France 70%. 67% of Italians and Britons agreed with this attitude. Even in the case of Germany, 34% of respondents see a strong leader as the key to national recovery.
The Ipsos survey is not the only document confirming the political insecurities and change in the political orientation of nations, with a special emphasis on Western European ones. During 2019, the Freedom in the World project published a report illustratively called “Democracy in retreat”.[58] Namely, as pointed out in the document itself, 2019 was the thirteenth consecutive year of weakening democracy in a global context. Democracy, the decline of which the project explored, is of the American type, accompanied by all the elements of liberal and globalist ideology characteristic of that system.
The interactive geographical presentation of the countries and their status in terms of freedom and democracy[59] shows the political and ideological background of the project, given that all of Washington’s major opponents are classified as “unfree” or “partially free.” Nevertheless, the part of the report dealing with regional trends is of particular importance. In this part of the document authors of the research note, in their own view, worrying processes even in those Western countries that are marked as free. In terms of Europe, particularly prominent are Hungary and Viktor Orban, Poland and the Law and Justice Party, the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovakia, together with most of the Balkan countries. [60]
On the other hand, the political forces of the left, in general, are trying to preserve the current order of things by persistently using demagoguery to constantly warn about the perils and the evil nature of populism and nationalism.[61][62]
Mentioned research illustrates the fact that inhabitants, even of the western democracies, refuse to accept the provided warnings and entrust their lives to the ideology that pushed them towards the current state of insecurity and stagnation. Liberal categories such as human rights, citizens of the world, free-market capitalism, multiethnicity and tolerance, among others, do not provide answers to the personal and common problems faced by the peoples of France, Germany and other Western countries. Moreover, some of these categories are actually at the root of the problems troubling the West.
The principle of tolerance, within one society, cannot coexist with the reality of completely different cultures which in some respects are even hostile to one another. Multiculturalism is used as an excuse to reject integration, but without integration and partial assimilation, the wholeness of one society and state cannot be preserved. The best examples of such cases are the so-called “no go” zones existing in most Western European countries, with a special emphasis on Sweden[63][64][65][66] Events in Kosovo and Metohija, from recent Serbian history, clearly indicate the ultimate outcome of tolerance and multiculturalism, which, in Yugoslav experience, was from the very beginning marked by indifference to the behavior of the Albanian minority and non-prosecution of Albanian crimes against the Serb population.
An example of a more recent date, whose terrible nature undoubtedly illustrates the perversion of modern liberal ideology and all of its foundational principles, comes from Great Britain.
Namely, during 2018, the attention of the British public was attracted by the political activist Tommy Robinson.[67] Despite the interdiction, Robinson, located in front of the court building, decided to stream in real-time the trial of the so-called “Huddersfield gang”.[68][69] Composed mainly of Pakistani Muslims,[70] the group was convicted of raping, physical and psychological torturing of a large number of girls, most of whom were white and of English descent, on multiple occasions.[71]
Abuse was usually accompanied by humiliation and victims were forcibly coerced to consume alcohol and narcotics.[72] Frequent coercion to consumption of alcohol and narcotics made it easier for rapists to control victims who, once addicted, became dependent on the rapists who had the intoxicating substances at their disposal. During the trial of the group from Huddersfield, it was established that pedophiles did not view the raped girls as human beings, but as objects that they exchanged with each other.[73] By calling their victims, among other things, “easy meat”[74] and “white trash”[75][76], pedophile groups generally expressed a high degree of racist contempt and hatred towards the victims. In addition to the present racism, pedophiles often used the terms “kafir” (infidel) and “non-Muslim” for girls, which implies, among other things, the existence of the religious impetus for the crime. [77]
According to a 2017 report, more than 80% of pedophile group members are Muslims, mostly from Pakistan, the Middle East and Central Asia.[78][79][80][81]
Tommy Robinson, in reality, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, disturbed the status quo with his act and brought before the wider public the issue of the Muslim pedophile groups which, judging by the information presented during the trial of the Huddersfield group, began their activities in the mid-1990s.[82] It soon became apparent that the Huddersfield pedophiles were not the only such group in the UK. Similar pedophile gangs were soon discovered in almost all major cities of England. London, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Oxford, and Manchester are on a list of almost thirty cities.[83]
Just between 2018 and 2019, it was estimated that almost 19,000 children in England became victims of sexual abuse.[84] The youngest known victims were between eleven and thirteen years old at the time of their first rape.[85][86] Different estimates regarding the total number of victims of rape and other forms of violence committed by perpetrators who are overwhelmingly Muslims and migrants range from 60,000 to one million[87] abused children in the previous three decades.[88][89][90][91][92]
Within Great Britain, all previous cases related to the activities of these pedophile groups were concentrated in the territory of England, but at the beginning of 2020, an article in the British newspaper “Sun” revealed the existence of the first such group in Scotland.[93] All pedophiles in the group were Muslim migrants from Egypt, Morocco, Turkey, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan and Kurdistan. Formerly categorized as “refugees from Syria”, every one of them sought asylum in Scotland. Over a period of several years, this group, composed of 55 migrants, raped 44 girls who came from poorer Scottish families or were protégés of the care home system.[94]
After the truth about the existence of these groups became generally known, the victims[95] of hitherto unknown pedophile groups began to acquaint the public with their experiences, revealing the wide prevalence of such events. Soon, it became apparent that these rapes and abuses were not unknown to the local authorities and police structures. Moreover, for a long time, local authorities and police refused to face the problem, justifying their behavior with “political correctness”[96] and fear that they would “face accusations of racist behavior”[97][98] if they investigated and acted against rapists who were mostly Muslims from the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia.
In some areas, social workers viewed victims of repeated rapes as nothing more than prostitutes, [99] despite the girls being minors and the obviously wrong nature of the situation in which these children found themselves. According to one of the reports, the Manchester police was aware of the fact that a pedophile group, whose members were Muslims from Central Asia and the Middle East, operated in the city area. Despite this finding, police investigations were directed at perpetrators from other ethnic and religious groups.[100] Judging by the report in question, pedophile groups from Manchester have been active since 2003.
In addition to the inhuman nature of the crime itself, clearly marked by racist hatred and pathological satisfaction stemming from the abuse of the most vulnerable members of a society, the lack of will for preventive action on the part of social institutions and political structures familiar with the events is far more worrying.
Members of local elites, in one way or another, were associated[101] with cases of pedophilia and organized child abuse, which undoubtedly indicates the existence of entrenched corruption in certain layers of police, political and social structures, but the dominant reasons that prevented authorities from acting fall within the framework of liberal ideology. Given that the pedophiles were mostly Muslims, it was politically incorrect to inform public about their crimes and to act in order to protect the victims was, somehow, racist. At least, that was the conclusion of the administrative structures of British society, which even in 2020 do not have the exact number of pedophile groups active in Great Britain.[102]
Thousands of English children were sacrificed to the dogmas of multiculturalism and tolerance, dogmas which left the victims unprotected because they belonged to the domicile population while making their rapists untouchable due to their Muslim faith and migrant origins.
Although this behavior of social structures, especially the police and local authorities, seem illogical and, to say the least, devoid of humanity and reason, it is necessary to understand that liberal indoctrination in Great Britain has reached a very high level. Only in such conditions it is possible for police officers to conduct official investigations based on the content Twitter messages.[103][104][105][106] The culmination of banality was the case of Mark Meechan, known as Count Dankula, who was threatened with a high fine and imprisonment for teaching his girlfriend’s dog a Nazi salute.[107][108][109]
Thanks to the liberal principles of multiculturalism, tolerance and political correctness, British MP Naseem Shah, herself of Pakistani descent, can publicly, without fear or remorse, demand that “those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths. For the good of diversity“. [110][111][112][113] Diversity, another vaguely defined term close to liberal ideologues, seems to be reason enough to ignore the abuse of thousands of children.
The reaction of the Muslim community in Great Britain was lukewarm or non-existent, [114] with the exception of a few public figures and politicians. Feminist organizations, otherwise always noisy in demand for the alleged protection of women and their rights, have remained mute regarding this issue.[115] Nothing here which would interest them, I guess.
Given a cursory police investigation and years of neglect, there is no doubt that there are groups of rapists in the UK that have not yet been discovered. Superficially, these cases of pedophilia seem as catastrophic failures of the police system and social services, but a closer examination of these crimes, and other behaviors manifesting in Western countries, suggests that the societies in question are in actuality sick.
The reaction of the UK population, at the moment when the extent and nature of child abuse became generally known, gives reason for hope. Despite a decades-long process of liberal indoctrination and numbing of personal and social sensibilities for what might be described as traditional moral norms, a significant portion of the citizenry rightly demanded severe punishments for perpetrators and their removal from society.
The incessant attacks of liberal demagogues, directed towards the traditional family, classical moral principles derived from Christian teaching, natural inclinations of women and men and the life decisions that result from them, eventually led to the situation where children, in their thousands, fall victim to sadists while the remaining society, with special emphasis on state structures, either denies reality or refuses to face problems resolutely. The case of abused children in Britain is just the most obvious example of distorted behaviors that are becoming a new pattern of reality within communities deeply affected by liberal ideology. Inevitably, the society in which liberal order acquires the status of dogma, ceasing to be subject of consideration and contemplation, will be betrayed, leading to the tyranny of the minority over the majority.
The ideological emphasis on individuality and rights of the individual, to the detriment of the responsibility towards the community and its right, corrodes the networks of mutual support characterized by their collective nature, bringing the individual into a state of isolation that is defined and promoted as desirable. Only a cursory insight into the nature of human interaction is sufficient to reveal a high degree, necessary by nature, of sociability. Man, by his nature, is not an isolated island.
The relationship between men and women, under the carcinogenic influence of feminism, degenerated from a state of complementarity into a conflict characterized by an attack on masculinity and the nature of men, accompanied by constant demagoguery about the need to “emancipate” women, which essentially encouraged the promotion of harmful behavioral patterns among women, especially younger women.
A frivolous and banal approach to issues of abortion and sexual intercourse negatively influences the understanding of the value in human life, while presenting the intimate physical relationship as an act completely separated from emotions, reduced to a level of mechanical motion, although such approach, to say the least, is problematic from both the perspective of science and social experience.
Constant criticism of traditional and national values in combination with pressures upon the classical family have led to the collapse of relationships and hierarchies family rests upon, which has produced a series of retrograde phenomena such as the increase in the number of single mothers, the obvious bias of courts in favor of women when it comes to the issues of divorce and custody of children, belittling the role of men in family life, and increased pressure on women to achieve the impossible, that is, to fill the roles of both mother and father.
Western societies today are going through a crisis that encompasses the entire social system. Countries of the European West, since they have been exposed to liberal ideology for a longer period, can now serve as an example of the consequences regarding the uncritical application of liberal principles within the legal system and social institutions, and a source of critical reflection on the scope and content of liberal values which are to be introduced.
Serbia, together with other Balkan countries, has spent the last few decades copying the legal and social norms of Western countries, without critical review and reflection on the possible consequences of such behavior. Regardless of the fact that both the Balkan and East European countries are essentially part of Europe, the demand for adjustment was one-directional and moved from the West to the East. East European countries are expected to uncritically accept Western legal patterns that are supposed to replace domestic legal norms created within specific national circumstances, thus changing the respective societies in accordance with the currently ruling ideology of the West. It could be observed, from the text above, where the blind acceptance of the ideology in question leads. Without changing the approach to these issues, Serbian society, and those around it, will face the same crisis at the end of the road “which has no alternative.”

I don’t know about Europe but in the USA the supposed increased crime rate in predominantly Muslim neighborhoods isn’t happening…
“To examine this issue, we used refugee resettlement data from the U.S. Department of State’s Worldwide Refugee Processing System to calculate the 10 cities in the US that received the most refugees relative to the size of their population between 2006 and 2015. We then looked at what happened to both their overall crime rates over the same time period using detailed data available from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This revealed a telling pattern: Rather than crime increasing, nine out of 10 of the communities actually became considerably safer, both in terms of their levels of violent and property crime. This included places like Southfield, Michigan, a community just outside of Detroit, where violent crime dropped by 77.1 percent. Decatur, Georgia, a community outside Atlanta, experienced a 62.2 percent decline in violent crime.”

Tommy Apeiron
I am afraid I have to disagree. Having read Internet articles, one can conclude that the arrival of fresh “migrants” (also known as “refugees”) has increased the crime level in US cities, the two chief crimes being robbery and sexual assault. The worst instigators of crime were “migrants” from Somalia.
That’s why the instigators are housed in Minnisota, not Arkansas……..don’t want the hillBillys giving them any new ideas.
Cheers, M
If you’re referring to the ReTrumplicans in Saint Cloud, Minnesota who have it in for the Somali refugees there, accusing them of all manner of crimes while they themselves are guilty of vandalism and threats against them, I can only remind you that the original nativists on this continent, the Native Americans, think the “worst instigators of crime” in the USA are the Europeans who descended on them some 500 years ago.
I am not an expert in Somali history, but I think it is fair to assume that amongst their forefathers there also was a rotten egg. How would you feel if these refugees were refused asylum because of something their forefathers did 500 years ago?
Point taken. My folks emigrated from Sweden in the 19th Century. About 1.3 million Swedes left for the USA from 1840 to 1910. Poverty and lack of opportunity were the driving factors, just like they are now. Thankfully, the USA at that time was open to immigration from northern Europe. The ReTrumplicans in Minnesota forget that they too were refugees at one point, just like the Somalis are now.
Somehow I missed where the Swedes brought corruption,honor killings,female mutilation,clan warlord violence,with them when they immigrated. They were almost all peaceful law-abiding farmers and small business owners.There are some of those type among the Somali refugees as well.But not many in the grand scheme of things.They come from a backward society,rife with religious hatred.And have lived in a warlord society for decades.All their lives for most of them.Stop trying to compare apples and oranges,they make almost no effort to assimilate to US society.In the 70’s and 80’s another group of refugees came here from war torn Southeast Asia. They worked hard to assimilate into the host society,as immigrants have here since the start of post-Revolutionary immigration. They accomplished that and have build a life here for themselves and their descendants, just as your ancestors did.All people are not the same.No matter how many professors in ivory towers tell you they are.
There is a major misunderstanding here. As somebody who lived in Switzerland right next to a big mosque, I know the real score,
Muslims, REAL Muslims, practicing ones, are much more honest and have better manners than your average European.
However, if you call “Muslim” people who come from nominally Muslim countries, then yes, there is a direct correlation between them and crime. But these are SECOND generation “Muslims”, who feel “neither here nor there” and who think that if they say a lot of “inshallahs” or “mashallahs” they are real Muslims. The reality is that they know nothing about Islam. They think that Islam is basically cutting throats of infidels and that if you commit an atrocity while screaming “Allahu Akbar” you are a real shahid. But, in reality, all you are is an dangerous and ignorant thug trying to get some respectability by taking about Islam.
Russians know that there are real Muslim and pretend Muslims out there.
Europeans have still not understood that.
And who wins from that ignorance?
Why, the National-Zionists of course.

Yes, you will find honorable men among Muslims. No question about that. However, can the majority of Muslims be placed into that category ?
We are living in the 21st century, yet we have ISIS in Syria, people with the mentality of the Middle Ages. How is this possible ? How have “migrants” and “refugees” been behaving in France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, etc. ? How many “no go” zones are there in Sweden ? Same thing is happening in France. Not only have these immigrants failed to assimilate, they blatantly refused to do so, demanding that native Europeans assimilate to their ways. In 2016 a group of “refugees” arrived in Switzerland. Upon arrival, the first thing they demanded was the removal of the cross from the Swiss flag.
Islam means submission. It does not tolerate any other religion on an equal basis. It does accept temporary parity when Muslims are in a weaker position, but this temporary state of affairs can never be permanent. Just to remind people of the Arab Muslim invasions of Spain, when 480.000 Spaniards were butchered. The Arabs after that moved into what is today France, only to be defeated by Charles Martel at the Battle of Poitiers in 732. The Ottoman Turks started invading Eastern Europe in the 14th century, arriving before the gates of Vienna on two occasions, in the 16th and 17th centuries. All this was done in the name of the “true faith”.
And finally, what is the Muslim tactic when it comes to defeating Christian nations ? Well, they use a very vulgar phrase which I will not, of course, repeat here. The soft translation of this phrase is that they will use their high birth rates to defeat Christian societies. This tactic is in progress. Look at the Muslim birth rates in France and Sweden, for example. Western Europe is in for some real political, social and ethnic troubles in the approaching years.
Muslims conquered Iberia after the Germanics conquered it from the Romans. Now compare the conquest by Muslims to the conquest by Germanics. Also look at the how the Germanics reconquered Iberia. Muslims were not the most savage.
During the zenith of Muslim Iberia, nearly 50% of Iberians were non Muslim. When the Germanics reconquered Iberia, how many Muslims were left? So much for tolerance. They did not even tolerate Germanics being Muslims!
Regarding Ottoman Empire, true they were brutal.Manythings they did were anti Islam including converting Hagia Sophia. Read Sheikh Imran.
But again compare them to the Germanics. No wonder why the Romans prefered the Turkish sword to the Papist one in 1453.
Western Europe is probably the most violent civilization in recorded history. Even if I exclude USA despite it being originally Western European.
M
” No wonder why the Romans preferred the Turkish sword to the Papist one in 1453″. This is one of the most preposterous things I have ever read. Constantinople never opened it’s gates to the Ottomans. It was taken by force. It’s Byzantine garrison was in fact reinforced by troops from the West. This, unfortunately, was not enough.
Dear B.F.
Let me clarify. I do not mean that the Romans opened their gates to the Ottomans. But Romans were offered more help by the Germanic West despite Germanic soldiers being under Roman command in the defence of Romanova. The conditions of this help would mean that Romans would be subservient to the Germanics. It would have meant that their religion would have been wiped out. So the Romans refused this help knowing full well that they would eventually fall to the Ottomans.
Hence why I wrote they prefered the Turkish sword to the Germanic Papist one.
This is similar to an event earlier in history when a Prince of the Rus smashed between the Mongol/Tataris in the East and the Germanic Papists in the West, prefered Mongol/Tatari domination than the Germanic Papist one.
There are other examples from history. The Romans and other Orthodox Christians being elated at the liberation of Jerusalem by Salah Al Deen from the Germanic Papists, as now they could practice their religion in Jerusalem freely.
You simply don’t know Islam or, for that matter, enough truly pious Muslims to make that kind of judgement.
Sorry, but I don’t have the time or energy to provide it all here.
I will say this:
Your logic places the entire West on a collision course with Islam.
Is that smart?

I am sorry to say, but Islam is on a collision course with Christianity, and not the other way around. You forget the war with Chechnya. It only stopped when the Chechens realized they could not win it.
Okay, so you don’t understand that outcome of the Chechen war either. I urge you not to speak with so much aplomb on topics you really don’t know the key facts about. For example, I also suspect that theology and history of religions is not your forte either.
So stick to topics you do understand. My 2cts

Yes, theology is not my stronger point. This I admit. However, this does not apply to history, and I will certainly stick to it. Over here in the Balkans we had uninvited Ottoman guests from the 14th to the beginning of the 20th century. We are still paying the price for their invasion. Everything I wrote stands. As for your expertise on Muslims, I see that it is based on what you saw in that mosque in Switzerland, near which you lived, which hardly makes you a “Muslim expert”.
Actually, I never claimed to be an expert on Islam. I just said that you were not. Also, compared to you, I am definitely an expert :-)
Also, you reduced my knowledge of Islam and Muslim to mine having lived next to a mosque. That is a baseless assumption.
You are way too smart not to have made that dishonest and snotty remark other than deliberately. The rest of your post (which I have removed because you were acting like a smart ass) only further confirms my conclusions.
So, here is my warning: you 1mm away from a permanent ban.

I don’t have time to read through that in detail. Pedophelia is the British elite’s favourite pasttime, so no surprised they’re not concerned when Muslims come and join in. personally. I like living in a multicultural, free port atmosphere. But the nutso thing is saying that the host aboriginal culture has to change or become a blank slate. i mean the west has changed utterly thoroughly due to the most revolutionary, dynamic force in history, capitalism, anyway. ‘Conservative’ capitalists like to pretend it’s just the fault of some liberals or socialists, but they are just projecting, as usual. besides that, a big part of this type of immigration, probably the main part, is that these immigrants are unknowing scabs, it’s called labor dumping or social dumping. tied with offshoring, it strips everyone in the west who works for money rather than having their money work for them of their bargaining power in the constant renegotiation of the social contract.
That is an excellent, well written and well reasoned article.
I do think it is missing one point.
The destruction of Western Cultures is not an unintended consequence of Neoliberalism, it is deliberate part of the plan of Neoliberalism.
Cultures bind peoples together, give them purpose, give them a sense of belonging and create a cohesiveness in the citizenry.
Neoliberalism does not want that. Neoliberalism wants desperate, rootless people who can be arbitraged against other desperate, rootless people for the profit of the so-called elite.
The destruction of culture is not an artifact of Neoliberalism – it is part of the very design of Neoliberalism.
One can expect that those Muslim cultures now destroying traditional Western Cultures will themselves be attacked just as soon as the traditional western cultures are destroyed.
Elevating greed above all other values will necessarily make this come to pass unless people stand up against it.
Mike, you are right, absolutely. Also Muslim cultures will be destroyed in the process – if some strange x-factor is not going to put an end to it.
Prospeller,
I think that multi-culturism really means “no-culturism.” Diversity” really means “no solidarity” and so on.
The whole purpose is to completely atomize the human being. Each person is to be totally disconnected from any feeling of social cohesion.
The end-purpose is to make individuals extraordinarily alone and vulnerable while, at the same time, making international corporations into frighteningly powerful leviathans.
Once that is accomplished, social control is easy.
This is happening all around us.
I am surprised so few people see it. Even worse, I often wonder why the “social justice warriors” are falling for it. They are like lambs being led to slaughter.
The social justice warriors are just enjoying their brief moment in the sun. Playing demographics against each other is the oldest and easiest play in the book, as Jay Gould – he of “I can always hire one half of the working class to kill the other half,” knew so well. He would be proud at how far we’ve progressed since his passing.
Mike,
You’re absolutely correct: “I think that multi-culturism really means “no-culturism.” Diversity” really means “no solidarity” and so on.”
” Diversity” implies ‘variety’, but its etymology belies that: di + versity == de + verso == turn aside/away, i.e. akin to divert, diversion. Same is true for so much of the language of ((( our friends ))) in neoliberlandia, where inversion is the rule.
Mike from Jersey
Yes, I agree with you. Communism, Nazism and liberalism are inventions of Anglo-American elites, used to subvert foreign countries and control their own ones. For example, it was logical to introduce two conflicting ideologies – communism and nazism – to create conflicts between sovereign states, like the conflict between Hitlers Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Union. Liberalism on the other hand was a method for the elites to get enriched both in their own countries as well as in foreign ones, where color revolutions and regime changes were introduced. The basis of liberalism is the ‘winner take all mentality’, and it was, of course, mixed with “democracy” and “human rights”, making it “respectable”.
The trouble for Anglo-American elites was the fact that political ideology could never override history, culture and tradition. For example, Russia had communism for some 70 years. When Putin arrived at the head of Russia, some 30.000 churches were built. So, what do the Anglo-American elites do, the so-called “rulers from the shadows” ? They introduce multiculturalism and mass immigration of false “refugees”, even to those countries which were never multicultural, like Sweden. The intent, of course, was to subvert sovereign countries by creating ethnic conflicts and financial, economic and social troubles, as globalists know that multicultural and multi ethnic societies cannot function properly. How many billions of euros did Germany spend on false “refugees”, who ended up in Germany and not in Saudi Arabia which financed ISIS ?
Can Western Europe survive liberalism and multiculturalism ? I fear not, unless something drastic is done, like mass repatriation of immigrants and false “refugees”. Islam means “submission”. The Muslims who rape Christian girls call the same “kafirs”, which means infidels. How can such people assimilate in Christian countries ? They cannot, and immigrants have the audacity to demand that native European populations assimilate to their ways. Viktor Orban of Hungary is certainly right when he stated that the Muslim faith of immigrants cannot coexist with the Catholic faith of Hungary. Back in 2016 a group of “refugees” in Switzerland even had the audacity to demand that the cross be removed from the Swiss flag, as it offended them.
Finally, a few words on Serbia. The author has stated that importing Western legal patterns will lead to a crisis at the end of the road. Well, not quite. Serbia, and especially President Vuchich, are under tremendous pressure from the EU and US to have Serbia join the EU and NATO and to impose sanctions against Russia. Vuchich resisted all these demands. The Russian Sputnik-V vaccine is today the most popular vaccine in Serbia.The West responded with that laughable attempt at a color revolution last July, which will go down in history as one of the worst organized attempts at regime change. And yes, Serbia has accepted some western style legislation. However, it has not gone full way, while Putin and the Euro-Asian Economic Union are on everybody’s mind. You will not find too many people in Serbia who want it to join the EU.
“You will not find too many people in Serbia who want it to join the EU.”
During your Vucic’s reign, 70,000/year emigrated to the West, you know – NATO and EU.
That’s 700,000 by now.
And if there wasnt con-vid and closed borders, those trends would have continued.
btw, it is kinda noticeable that noone here mentions that last year the population count for Russia
was only 143,000,000. A significant drop from the 147,000,000 when Crimea joined Russia.
I’m curious to see how y’all gonna spin that one…
Probably by just showing that that is untrue.Russian statistics service Rosstat shows that the country’s population by the 1st of January 2021 totaled 146,238 million.Not the 143 million you posted.
Rosstat most recent census from 2010.
Post any census from Russia with up to date #s and prove your point. According to UN propaganda, Russia has 145.9 million people. Are you saying the UN is deliberatly over inflating Russia’s population.
Cheers, M

Would you mind providing me with reliable references for your claims, both for Serbia and for Russia. As for Russia, just to remind you that 25 million Russians live outside Russia, in former Soviet republics.
Good riddance, because those are the type of Russians the Federation does not need at all. I know several of these emigrated types around here in these woods and they are surprisingly often rabidly anti-Putin and quite anti-Russian.
I am not sure so much about Vucic. It would seem that come spring in Serbia, Parliament will pass a law legalizing same-sex marriages, despite majority population opposition.
Additional issue is the fact that within the Serbian constitution, marriage has been defined as a union of man and a woman, so either the new law will not actually regulate marriage as it is traditionally understood or it might lead towards demands for change of constitution which would then open dangerous area for issues on other important questions, such as Vojvodina and Kosovo and Metohija, given that both of these provinces have their status regulated by the constitution.
Furthermore, during January of this year, Serbia had its own MeToo moment, involving students and a teacher of a well known Belgrade acting school. Ten years after alleged rape happened one of the previous pupils, now a better known actress, accused the teacher in question for rape which was followed with other girls joining in the accusations. Most worrying was the organized media witch hunt against him even before any of the parties involved gave their testimonies before the police authorities, and this was boosted by chorus from the NGO sector calling for change of Serbia, accusations against men in general, against the SOC, your usual NPC monologue but I have a feeling this is an attempt to push for the same legislation now operating on US campuses, which is, from what I had a chance to read, a legal nightmare for men.
True enough, during the last 5-6 years, a lot has been done in terms of military equipment and army development and Serbia currently is rated, if I am not mistaken, as the strongest military in the region. There have been some improvements in terms of economy and the multilateral cooperation is a good thing, though think there should be an impetus for a further diversification of economical ties so we are less dependent on EU, if possible.
Introducing legal norms dealing with NGOs which are clearly foreign agents would be good as well.
You are right most are FAKE refugees.
At least the 15 or so I met while living in England. I studied with a few of them (Soros paid their University fees) – they all told me their stories.
None of them ever saw any war, most lied even about where they came from. 4 of my Albanian friends who have never been to Yugoslavia lied to UK immigration that they were actually from Serbia and prosecuted by Serbs. They got fake YU passports from mafia. Serb-hating UK Home Office gave them the status and later citizenship.
And my Albanian friends did not hate anyone (they used to give me free drinks in a pub where they worked for many years – actually I don’t think I have ever paid for a drink there thanks to them).
I have never met a real refugee in my whole life and I know at least 15 or so.
Mike, thank you for the compliments on the article.
I agree with you on the issue of Neoliberalism as a driving reason behind disintegration of the Western cultures. One thing I noticed is that elites are always those propagating it to the detriment of the rest of society and, in the end, against themselves, if the Russian revolution is anything to go by.
The crisis now apparent in the US, with the society fragmenting on two opposite sides is, in my opinion, destiny of every society following the same path. I don’t really see a way around this split as you basically have two groups of people agreeing on very very few points but ruled from a single political center which, in my opinion, creates a situation untenable in a long run, especially when that political center openly takes sides.
I am not quite sure regarding Muslim societies, but I have, some couple of weeks ago, seen an interview conducted by one of the more prominent UK feminist with a woman presenting Muslim community in Britain. The main issue, which the feminist was rather insistent upon, was the question of when can we expect female imams in UK, so your intuition seems to be in the right place.
Ljubiša,
About the destruction of European culture, you wrote:
That reminds me of time when Macron attacked those French citizens who were complaining that unlimited immigration was destroying French culture. He called his own citizens “racists” for opposing the destruction of their own culture.
In other words, when the elite in French government destroy French culture, that is not “racism.” But when the French people say that they want to preserve their own French culture rather than have another culture forced upon them, that is “racism.”
The European elite have made it clear. They could care less about great, established cultures that are thousands of years old. All they care about is the advancement of the soulless Neoliberal agenda.
Lotta hate coming this way, as the potential billions of Asians and their money flock here to avoid there, and as the percentages increase over time, one can only figure that again over time, they could try to democrasize America Asian style. And as the decades pass and the haters, who are going do to what they are going to do, hate, their will be isolated incidents of chaos as a response to the loss of their country as it once was, a nation of Europeans mostly, but now Muslims and Asians are flooding in with their money too.
And only some much prime real estate to go around these days.
America should soon look like a nation of servants, some happy, some sad.
The insanity of American liberals is hard to believe, but the situation in the UK is over the top insane. Most men feel an urge to protect children from harm. The social conditioning of the Brit police to get them to look the other way and ignore the children is hard to believe. Causing all criticism of individuals to be called “racist” means the people and a good part of their group will develop insane narcissist delusions. Ultimately the liberals will get the exact opposite of what they want. Society polarized into groups that are very divided .
The UK situation has been a sick one for quite a while now. In the early ’90’s a study showed that there was much hidden modern slavery in the UK and the number of victims this study mentioned was at least 150,000 people kept in modern slavery. People whose passports were taken away and threatened in all kind of ways to keep them obedient having them do all kinds of work like in prostitution, the household or being nannies. And nobody seemed to notice and nobody seemed to care…
Most of the perpetrators then were Brits.
It’s not diversity per se that is the problem. It’s the government implementing a policy of “tyranny of the minority”.
Russia is a diverse country where the state institutions uphold the rights of the majority, heterosexual, orthodox Christian population.
This clearly cannot be seen anywhere in the West (nor in E. European), As the author points out, the former Yugoslavia could serve as a cautionary example of where things could lead if the tyranny of the minority is not re-balanced.
As i have mentioned it before in the core, in the heart of every culture is religion. And once that religion has been abandoned there will be no hope for that culture. The decline of culture is immense gigantic process and once it has begun one just can’t stop it. Make no mistakes, the western culture is doomed. It has already degraded itself to just civilization doesn’t even earn any respect.
The implication by the author of left leaning parties equalizing them to permissive and mild , policies toward national objectives might have a basis, but is another Europeanism.
This is far from a necessary condition but a local one since
it is a historical dateum that mass migrations have taken the routes to Europe, not to Asian neither Southamerica.
The right leaning parties in eastern (and someway in western) europe have simply filled an existing void
space, which is the very first principle in Politics.
I want to take a mind trip. I want to compare two worlds – the earth on which we live and another planet that is identical to ours, except that in that planet’s solar system there has been a brief solar event whose radiation has not only instantaneously killed all of the people on that planet, but, amazingly, also slowed down the physical deterioration of any of the things that the planet’s deceased inhabitants created.
Hearing about the calamity on the twin planet, millions of people from our planet, who just happen to be unemployed ex-technicians from various professions (yes, a very competent bunch), jump into spacecraft and fly to that other planet. But, before they leave, they agree that all of what is on the other planet will be “owned” equally among them and used for the good of all. (Yes, you’re right, that is exactly where I’m going.)
Just like there is on this planet, there is an internet on the other planet, so the immigrants instantly realize that a so-called representative government will not be necessary……….. on the other planet. In that place there shall be direct democracy. People will hammer out important decisions among themselves using the internet as a means of virtually instantaneous mass communication.
There will be only one “nation” on this new world. That nation will cover the entire world. There will be no other nation to export to. There will be no other nation to import from. The immigrants will either design a stand-alone economic system that does not need either imports or exports, or they will die.
Every person in the new world will be a “world citizen”. There will be only one set of rules for every person. All these rules boil down to one systemic foundation stone that infants are taught not long after their birth — Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Again, human beings will either sink or swim together on this new world.
After the new immigrants arrive on their new planet, using existing transportation systems, they disperse all over their planet so that they can get their new (old) machines up and running; fields plowed and planted; hospitals operating, etc. (Yes, it wasn’t easy. But with the common good in mind, people were successful. Just accept it for the moment.)
The immigrants soon realize that it takes very few people (far fewer than immigrated) to keep the machines running, food on the table, etc., and with some more design engineering and automation, even fewer people will be required as time goes on. Not only that, but the products of these machines can be made to a much better quality then they apparently were previously, so these products will last far longer. As a result, it is realized that perhaps some of the huge machines/factories can be operated far less frequently than they used to be by the previous inhabitants. For example, automobiles soon come to be made much simpler, easier to fix and much more reliable. They have a far greater useful lifespan than they once had.
The people enjoy leisure time, developing their artistic abilities, playing games and other non-productive activities.
Rather than unfairly have the same small number of people constantly toiling on the machines, the people decide to divide up, or “distribute”, the human labor that is necessary to operate the machines, plow the fields, construct buildings, roads, etc. That is, everyone has to work on the machines, etc., but for only a short period of time each year. And as the machines get improved and further automated, even less labor is required and, therefore, even more of each individual’s time is “free”.
The newly-designed machines in this new world come to do almost all of the things that must be done, and the “profit” from the machines – leisure time and the actual products of the machines – is equally divided among all people.
Some of the leisure time is used for training all people in the variety of tasks they will be undertaking – everything from brain surgery to sewage treatment. Apprenticeship and training via video (just like Youtube on planet earth!) are found to be the ideal ways of training people. It is soon discovered that most medical and dental procedures can be either performed by robots or learned in a fraction of the time once thought to be absolutely necessary.
Through apprenticeship and video schooling, the population becomes very knowledgeable, so they soon realize that by reducing their own population by slow attrition – by having only one or two children – the remaining population has even less to do (less water treatment, housing, electricity, food, everything), so their descendants have even more free time to themselves.
These people’s new-found religion is two-faceted — the Golden Rule and the continually-evolving simplicity, ease-of-use, and, most importantly, high-quality-construction and, therefore, long usable life of the products they create. Unlike the people did back on planet Earth, the people on this new world strive to manufacture things only once — things that with simple, inexpensive maintenance, last essentially forever.
Transportation systems move people to and from the machines and other places where labor is needed, as well as moving people about the planet for other less practical reasons.
Life is great in the new world.
Your tale is completely against evolution. Evolution needs difficulties and not too much free time. Free leisure time is great when a person had worked and gets some holiday time. Otherwise too much free leisure time does no good to our brains. Our brain needs some difficult times to develop new ideas. Without difficult times our brain starts to sleep simply said.
In other words, we’d get bored to death. Not sure whether your assertion holds water or not, but it would surely be the prevailing argument against such a cooperative scenario. Truth is, we’ve never found ourselves in such a scenario (that I’m aware of, at least), so we’ve never had the chance to test such a proposition on a large scale. Could be that evolution, competition, and overcoming obstacles and all that is just cultural programming that we’ve inherited. Could be that ditching all that is the next step in our evolution. One thing’s for sure, the current prevailing mindset seems to be at a dead end.
Evolution means: being fit for life. Neither more nor less.
This is the story of our earth with its plants and animals. It has nothing with any cultural aspects to do. It the story of our evolution through some two or more or less millions of years. Its the story of all the animals and plants with had been in former times died and destroyed.
@monnalia
As always the culprit lies in the basic conception of thinking which is mostly unconcsious.
Where is it written that something MUST evolve, change incassently ? Have you ever heard of sharks ? They are around for roughly 200 Million years mostly unchanged in design, or what about the Nautilus almost exactly as the examples in stone some 800 Million years old.
Evolution is not a theory and is NOT ocurring at a fixed speed.
So as you can see your whole construction rests on an assumption which is without any foundation in reality.
Ishkabibble is absolutly right any highly developed civilization will steadily slow down in development unless some kind of node is arrived at which opens a new plane of opportunity but even then in absolute time the events will become more sparse.
Thus it is a very good idea to make things as good as possible and thus full of value – and over time even filled with Spirit – yes Objects can be highly charged over time – THAT IS the representational core of culture !
The new World will be very strange to most of you because it’s foundation is completly different than the one of the current West completly and totally.
At the beginning are the basic conceptions, a concept at the simplest is an image and a symbol combined.
Pinpointing the migrant crisis as the “catalyst” for subsequent suffering is ridiculous, and really just foreshadows the whole article as the racist diatribe it is.
The migrant crisis itself was a symptom of neoliberal economic policy.
On the foreign side, neoliberalism requires the partial or total destruction of existing socioeconomic order and replacing it with “free” markets and privatization under global corporations. This obviously produces refugees, both from violent and nonviolent outcomes.
On the domestic side, neoliberalism requires cheap labor–i.e. desperate migrants. Furthermore, social systems that might enable cultural integration are robbed by neoliberal policy and left as ineffective husks.
Also, saying the liberal order is defined by “scientific materialism” is nonsensical. Liberalism has been under constant attack by science since Darwin and Marx. By the 21st century, liberalism has become totally unscientific. There is zero scientific evidence of the “human soul” or individualism as being real phenomena–everything, from quarks to ants to humans to stars, is a fractal cloud of nonlinear relationships.
There is nothing racist about this article, as it does not deal with race nor is the race its main theme. However, if you are implying racism within the context of mentioning Muslims in the text, then once again, term racist does not apply as Islam is a religion with adherents from all world races.
I agree that the migrant crisis is the symptom of the neoliberal economic policy but it was the impact of the migrant crisis upon the western countries I was interested in, not its source. After the great economic crisis of 2008 a lot of western people lost the faith in the system, but the migrant crisis served as a catalyst for the change in how people in the West perceive societies they live in. You have seen a rising support for right wing parties, lower support for immigration, significant rise in terrorist attacks, social tensions between different cultures, increase of Euro-skepticism, Brexit being the best case in point. All of these issues became far more prevalent in media and people’s lives after 2015. The very fact people are changing their views towards liberalism implies they are aware of it as a source of the current crisis.
I stand by what I said regarding scientific materialism, but it could be a misunderstanding between the two of us what we perceive as science. Darwin was using his conclusions and theories to imply there is no involvement of God in creation of the universe, which then further progress to the notion that human beings are nothing special, just another animal and therefore have no higher value than any other animal. From this proceeds understanding of, for example, abortion as a normal and healthy procedure, and not murder. Darwinism and liberalism go hand in hand precisely because all is around the individual. If there is no God, then you are your own god and can do as you please, in most cases.
By excepting evolution and excluding religion or possibility of supranatural, any notion of something beyond material is removed and you are left with material universe and human race as nothing more than just a coincidence in it. We exist by a whim of random forces of the universe and if it wasn’t for lucky evolutionary turn we might not even exits. This brings into question worth of human life itself. When Darwin was writing about his theory of evolution, most of his colleagues were men of faith who believed in intelligent designer of the world and cosmos. Today, people who support ID are pushed to the fringes because the scientific community core is composed, almost exclusively, from atheists who support scientific materialism and they are on very good terms with other liberal elites.
Be careful what you mean by “scientific community”. There is the academic community, which is closely aligned with the popular-science community, but both are rather divorced from scientific materialism at this point. There are significant reproducibility, fraud, and general politicking crises in the academic community. This is because they would rather follow unscientific liberalism.
While Darwin’s theories were not necessarily illiberal, they were a milestone in our understanding of biology which has since virtually disproven liberalism and theism.
By scientific community I meant roughly what you termed as academic and popular science community. I’m afraid that I do not agree they are divorced from scientific materialism, but I guess we will have to agree do disagree on this point.
What are your thoughts on the discoveries implying that evolution actually works by breaking the existing genes, not evolving new ones over long period of time? This would have significant implications regarding the Darwins theory. Michael Behe wrote about it in his book “Darwin Devolves” and it would seem to be supported by genetic research.
Unfortunately, this article consists of some sort of racial parts.
To mention that an immigrant abuses some Austrian boy (and doesn’t understand what he did is questionable in itself!!) and doesn’t get enough punishment by law shows that the writer of this article didn’t mention how such abuses are handled when an Austrian person abuses another Austrian child or an individual of a higher rank within the society will be held accountable and how high the law will punish him.
It is worth to mention how many people moved from one country to another country during the many wars which were during the last two thousand years within the European continent. People always moved when times are full of famine, wars or other disasters. This isn’t new. Most immigrants in Europe are fully integrated.
However, it must be mentioned that European countries were the Catholic Church is almost state religion were somehow extremely closed to other religious believes. And this plays still its big role nowadays as almost one thousand and six or seven hundred years cannot be forgotten were the Roman Catholic Church had most of the times the say. In this concern how people with other religious belief had been forbidden many things within the society as well as they had to live in some European countries in separate quarters outside of other prevalent Roman Catholic population.
As mentioned in a reply to jurgen, this article does not deal with race so calling it racist in some parts does not stand.
The case of the Austrian boy was mentioned for several reasons. The first one is that the boy is actually a Serb who lived in Austria and it was thus popularized in Serbia. Furthermore, the case was a good example because it involved the highest judicial body in the country, the Supreme Court of Austria. This very institution had reduced the sentence of the rapist from 6 to 4 years, in a case of pedophilia and rape. This is the point of the argument. It does not matter, in the bottom line, who is the victim and who is the rapist. The problem is a very lenient approach to highly disturbing crimes. How can anyone take seriously defense consisting of “sexual necessity” and claimed inability to understand a child is not interested in sexual intercourse. Since when is sexual necessity any sort of justification for anything? If we except it, we can than except rape as normal behavior. Court in question accepted fully the second argument of the defense. Think about this. A rapist says he does not understand his victim and proceeds with rape and legal institution agrees with the rapist. All of this implies deeper corruption in the system and even if the victim was an Austrian boy and the perpetrator was an Austrian man, what could we conclude if his sentence was more harsh. That the Austrian court was more lenient of the migrant rapist for some reason. If the Austrian’s man sentence was lighter, it would be even worse, given that I see sentence of 4 years for rape and pedophilia as not appropriate to the crime at all.
In regard to your observation about migrations, I would just like to point out most of migrations into Europe were violent in nature, whether we are talking about the great movement of peoples at the time of Rome falling, or Hungarian, Turkish and Mongolian invasions. If you consider European colonization as a sort or migration, and there are elements in favor of this view, it was also violent. Arab migration after death of Muhammad was violent as well and I am sure that migrations in the Americas before arrival of the Europeans were violent as well. Migration might have been something which happened during the entire course of human history, it does not mean it was a positive phenomenon.
I dont like this article. Maybe because I’m a Muslim. But even if I wasn’t, it always disturbs me when events are interpreted through the prism of ideologies, and conflicts are analyzed as cultural incompatibilities. Ideologies, it seems to me, are never the cause of any action but rather serve as morale justifications of said actions whether good or evil. And I believe every culture is compatible with one another providing the relationships are based on universally accepted concepts of justice. Child abuse is an abomination everywhere, even in Islam, no matter what this article seems to suggest.
Even within a liberal perspective of the matter, every single case of sexual abuse should be consider within the simple frame of a common crime and be dealt as such. The nationality, religion or any other cultural characteristics of the perpetrators should be meaningless. Unless there is a political motive to the publicity.
The article basically claims that liberal ideologies are responsible for the corruption of western elites and the Muslim emigration phenomena which, it further suggest, has a built in, almost genetically determined propensity for gang pedophilia. I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry.
As I said, Ideologies are never proximal causes, only tools to an aim. That aim was correctly identified: the destruction of morale values and in particular the nuclear family. But this was no accident of the liberal ideology which, as any other ideology, by its nature cannot act and has no volition. Nor was it the senseless and maniacal action of some evil entity reaching its orgasm on a morale destructive spree. The reality is much more mondain and pragmatically simple if one understands the nature of our monetary system.
By destroying the family, the elite transfers the allegiance of the individual from the former to the government. The later in return grants him the benefits of its numerous social programs that proclaim to mimic the security the family previously provided (more or less equitably or justly). The practical result is that now the portion of income that the individual could save is now justifiably taxable. And the longer he contributes to these social schemes the stronger his destiny is bound to that of the system. Once a critical mass of the population has been driven away from the family to the government, the ability to issue currency greatly increases since no one would dare disturb the system which has now become synonymous to his retirement plans. In contrast when the allegiance is to the family, the need to excessively tax is harder to justify. The practical result is that more money is saved privately. High savings empower the public against the government. And the excessive issuance of currency will be met by an increase in private gold savings which would destroy the system in short order. Obviously there is much more as to how the system is sustained, but what was just described is definitely an important factor in explaining the longevity of the system in the face of such monetary excesses.
As for the the other aberrations sprouting from the liberal garden, such as LGBTQ on steroids, BLM, etc… they all actively contribute to the destruction of the traditional family or any other social group susceptible to serve as a rallying point of resistance, and thus also contribute to the morale and material isolation of the individual. By their ubiquitousness permeating virtually every aspect of our lives they also serve to discourage dissent even within elite ranks, since every body potentially is an offender. A little bit like COVID tests can generate as many cases as politically expedient.
Similarly it is not liberal values that have allowed the masses of immigrants into Europe. Again the simple explanations require no convoluted reasoning involving superstitious ideological powers. one is the need for cheap labor in the face of fierce Asian industrial competition. The other is the constant availability of a convenient scapegoat to the Elite’s excesses. The fact is that at least since the year 2000 western elites understood they were loosing control on the monetary beast they have created. They must have since I, a simple layman, could so clearly see it. Remember the Y2K Bug? It was the first unmistakable sign. The absurdity of the scare was in par with today’s COVID scare. It showed how desperate the need for printing money to sustain the system had become. Since then ever more preposterous claims were made to justify ever more increases in the monetary base. From Saddam, Afghanistan and the subprimes, to Ghadafi, Syria and COVID… tens of billions turned into hundreds of billions, then turned into trillions…
What I’m trying to convey is that currency isn’t issued to launch absurd policies and commit senseless destruction, but quite the exact opposite: absurd policies and senseless destruction are committed to justify ever increasing currency issuance without which the system collapses. Such are the intrinsic evils of Fiat systems.
The only option for the Elite of a terminal fiat system to survive the inevitable economic disintegration, is to instaure a totalitarian and dictatorial regime in order to cling to the remaining straws of their vanishing power.
With this perspective in mind and coming back to our original topic, why were Muslim pedophile gangs allowed to prosper under cover of Liberal ideologies, which incidentally have been construed in such ways that all and its contrary can be equally justified? The fact is that any criminal enterprise if left unmolested, whether Muslim or not, will naturally grow and spread.
I always feel vaguely nauseated when I hear Europeans complaining about immigration. If only they would spend a fraction of this energy protesting the wars and sanction regimes their elites impose on foreign countries. At the peak of the Syrian crisis while the flow of refugees to Europe created uproars in the political and public spheres, Egypt was accommodating over 2 million Syrians on top the steady yearly inflows of refugees from across Africa. There were no protest neither from the political class nor the population, at least nothing remotely similar to what was happening in the EU. On the contrary, the government basically adopted a policy of “laisser faire” while the public spontaneously mobilized to help the newcomers settle in. The private sector not only provided them with housings at symbolic rents (as low as 10 EGP, and often literally for free, I’ve seen it with my own eyes!) and all the vital necessities, but also financing to set up shops and factories. Within a year or two of their arrival, those that remained in Egypt, were now an integral part of the socio-economic fabric. Those that commit crimes are treated as any Egyptian common criminal, and therefore no resentment develops towards their community. This is the natural way to handle such human tragedies; man to man, heart to heart.
Of course It is always better not to create such tragedies to begin with.
This success cannot be attributed to cultural similarities. Black African refugees that settle in the country also end up blending in. Although Egyptian culture has obviously many commonalities with black African cultures, there are also profound differences that makes them as different as any two cultures could be. The obvious reasons for Egypt’s success is plain to see to any objective eye: it is the free expression of people’s natural generosity and pursuit of mutual benefits. How is it then that in the “rich and powerful” EU, those same otherwise noble and industrious Syrian and other immigrants, turn into striving drug dealers and rapists?
To blame the elite incompetence, the effect of liberal ideologies and the essential evilness of Islam for this phenomena as the article would like to convince, sounds increasingly as some cheap and hollow excuse. More over the systematic cultivation of crime and depravity in immigrant populations and other minorities is nothing new. Since at least year 2000 I’ve been prophesizing to myself the repeat of the horrors, on a much larger scale, of the first half of last century in Europe. What we are witnessing since, I’m afraid is the preparation of the public mind for a coming “great purge”. The signs are multiplying fast, the clamors are getting louder and more strident. And all this article achieves is nourish the required hatred for its accomplishment.
Given the length of your response I would like to point out I have found some of your arguments compelling and interesting, especially those regarding the influence of organizations like BLM and similar ones on the traditional family. Furthermore, your view on monetary system and its influence, together with the government, on the degradation of nuclear family is rather interesting one and I see certain merit in it. I would say we mostly agree in these areas though both of us might have certain points where we differ.
However, there are certain points in your response with which I could not agree. You point out that child abuse is an abomination everywhere, even in Islam, no matter what this article seems to suggest. This article is not suggesting anything which is not based on facts and they are what they are in the case of grooming gangs in UK. I agree that the nationality, religion or any other cultural characteristics of the perpetrators should be meaningless but that was exactly the opposite case in the Great Britain where pedophiles were not prosecuted precisely because they were from a minority and authorities feared accusations of racism. If you have a state service not performing its duty in this kind of situation because of the aforementioned reasoning ones has to take a look at the dominant ideology within the society and that, currently, is liberal ideology.
Built in, almost genetically determined propensity for gang pedophilia is your description of the articles critique of pedophilia cases in UK. These are neither my words nor do they imply anything like this, however, what is implied is a deeper issue of a society which has voluntarily decided to ignore the plight of its most vulnerable members for the sake of ideology. You have mentioned more than few times in your response Muslims, but the facts remain what they are. To the best of my knowledge, there were no white or Christian grooming gangs in UK operating for three decades. Men in question where overwhelmingly migrants, from Muslim background, targeting mostly white English girls from lower income homes. Terms used for these children are racist and point towards religious intolerance, on the part of these men. The main question is why? Why are the rapists mostly the men I outlined above. Why did the society act, or better said, did not react at all, at least its institutions. Where exactly where the feminist organizations in these cases? What did social services do? I implied, based on the case of grooming gangs, that there are defects in UK society as it is today and by that I stand.
“With this perspective in mind and coming back to our original topic, why were Muslim pedophile gangs allowed to prosper under cover of Liberal ideologies”? Exactly my question above. Your entire point regarding the monetary system has a lot of good points and as you say, it leads towards totalitarian state with which I agree, and exactly for that reason the name of the article “The Fall of western liberal utopia”. The liberal system as it was promised to the rest of the world in the 90s was a utopia and today we see more clearly it was never what it was presented to be. For sure, it had its positive traits, but it was never a fit all system and it was never magically resistant to all the ailments usually associated with political systems.
When you say “I always feel vaguely nauseated when I hear Europeans complaining about immigration. If only they would spend a fraction of this energy protesting the wars and sanction regimes their elites impose on foreign countries.” you are making the same mistake which you imputed to me at the start of your comment. You are generalizing and putting all Europeans in the same basket. I am from Serbia and I am sure you are aware that Serbia is the only European country attacked by NATO and the same countries which provided support for terrorist and separatist groups in Syria.
You make an excellent point regarding the role of Egypt in the regards to Syrians, there is an identical example further north. After the start of war in Ukraine, Poland received around 2 million Ukrainians and no one noticed major issues. When you compare Egypt and Poland with people they received you see these are close people either in ethnic or religious sense so there is lesser possibility for friction and problems and though you claim that “this success cannot be attributed to cultural similarities” I would disagree, even with the example of black Africans in Egypt.
In the end, to conclude on your final paragraph, the elites are to blame, due to their incompetence or something else is another question. I am from Eastern Europe and you are from North Africa. We can say what we will about the Western Europe, but as I pointed out, people in WE itself are losing their faith in the system which they live in. There is lesser faith in democracy, faith in their leaders is low, as it is for the state institutions, there is a rise in request for a stronger leader but resistance towards the current elites. From what I have been able to read and see, this is the real state in WE countries and it implies a crisis. I have no idea where you pulled out the “essential evilness of Islam” in the article but once again, these are your words not mine.
I would, up to a point, agree with you that there might be signs implying a new great cataclysmic but if anything, the purpose of this article was to warn and educate how we came to be where we are now, and not, as you put it, to “nourish the required hatred for its accomplishment”
Thank you for this extensive reply. I’m honored, I did not expect an answer from the author, it’s the first time this has happened. I’d also like to apologize for the late reply, my days are usually busy and my writing skills need some honing.
First I’d like to respond to your comment about making generalizations about Europeans. I don’t. I only generalize about the complains of those who do it ceaselessly. The incessante whining of an infant may annoy me, it doesn’t mean I harbor any hard feelings for infants. I know it sounds condescending, but in reality I truly feel for what is happening in Europe. A part of me wants to rejoice for the coming, hopefully liberating change, but another part dreads the price that will need to be paid. There is more to me than the name on this poste. I was born to a Swiss Protestant mother and an Egyptian Muslim father, and I grew up in 5 countries on 3 continents, before chasing unicorns on my own. The mentality of “us versus them” has no appeal to me. What does resonate is “right versus wrong”, “just versus unjust”. Excuse me for throwing this at you. I do it in hope that it will help understand the spirit of my words, since written expressions, I find, can be notoriously misinterpreted.
Also I have a genuine question. In your 2nd paragraph, it is not clear to me when reading it in relation to its opening point (child abuse is an abomination everywhere, even in Islam) Are you actually saying that the facts suggest child abuse is NOT an abomination in Islam?
Anyways, you did claim that you suggest nothing more than what the facts shows. Here’s a video of a busting of a children smuggling operation in Chad.
https://www.facebook.com/anne.dautriche.982/videos/930748611027987/
It’s in french, so I’ll describe you the content in case you dont understand all that is shown. A Spanish jumbo jet was commissioned by a EU NGO (from which country is not clear) As can be seen there are at least dozens of kidnapped under aged children (not even teenagers) The Spanish pilote reveals he was delivered an official humanitarian permit for his cargo. The NGO members (that look and sound more like french) seem to claim they didn’t know what they were transporting (if you can believe it). The funny thing is, a cursory brows of the internet will show most international child smuggling networks are western based and involve officials’ participation. So here’s another question. In your opinion what do you think the facts should suggest to the typical Chadian and other members of the world community? I bring this up only to demonstrate how inappropriate the method is.
I’m also not convinced with your justification of the use of Ideology in explaining the attitude of the authorities. If an official told me he let up to 1 million children molested because of ideological values, I would think of only 3 possibilities: 1) he doesn’t give a loot about children molested, 2) he’s a coward and 3) he has a vested interest in the crime. And I would probably want to investigate the later. But one thing is sure: I would never buy that sorry excuse.
The problem with your use of ideology however, goes much deeper. In your original article you basically list a chronological series of world event on top of which you faithfully stick a liberal flag upon, as if it would explain anything. For instance it was not liberalism that brought the US to hegemony status, and is now failing it. This is at best only a figure of speech, but can never be a correct description of reality. The faith of the US can best be explained through geopolitical circumstances and what I’d call the tyranny of monetary cycles. The logic of both is firmly rooted in the physical world, and have nothing, no connection what so ever, with ideologies that are at best of cosmetic value. They give you the flavor of the day If you wish. Ideologies dont make human act, they cannot, they are not real. They are the modern days’ effigies of gods. It is men that either convince or coerce behaviors onto other men, under the fleeting banners of ideologies. That is what gives the illusion that ideologies have power like statues of old, but likewise it is based on superstition. The constant repetition by academia and the media (of which you are part) of that illusion, implicitly absolves the decision makers and executives from their conscientious responsibilities by virtue of “innocent because didn’t know better”.
Truth is ideologies are only a tool to rally masses. It is Man who choses whether he uses it for good or evil. Ideology also serve to “conceal” evil in plain sight. It seems somehow easier to bomb a country to the ground when bringing democracy and liberalism (as I’m sure you can appreciate the sarcasm), but also to casually explain away the rape of untold UK girls while surreptitiously finger pointing at migrants (the irony of which seems to have escaped you). Incidentally the later illustrates a very common and simple technic to engineer socio-political event.
You repeat the mistake when you attribute the migrant crisis to liberalism, and you compound it by singling out those migrants as the cause for most of the economic and social crisis, due apparently to cultural incompatibilities. And to top it all, you illustrate these cultural incompatibilities by subtly linking them to pedophile anecdotes that stir emotions but demonstrate nothing. The facts on planet earth show that the same set of factors that determined America’s predicament also determined the EU faith and created the migrant flows. They are an unavoidable economic consequence of imperialistic systems as advanced in their monetary cycle. The specifics of the current migrant crisis are the results of both geopolitical choices and the deliberate social policies that were adopted. The later can only be understood as social engineering of the most dubious kind, or criminal incompetence. The truth is migrants are the least of Europe’s problem. The real issue is the mountains of debts and over regulations that suffocates the economy. It is this chronic lid kept on top the economy, that prevents the growing armies of unemployed (of which migrants are only a portion) to join the workforce and integrate. If one erases the entire migrant population from Europe, those “unemployed armies” will still be standing menacingly. Therein lies the danger of these idle and growing masses, turning against the authorities. Hence foreigners are highlighted by the medias and the political body, to divide and antagonize the malcontent mass and divert its attention from the true culprit. For if anything, that is what keeps all the elites of the world awake in the darkness of their nights.
So although I do appreciate your effort to expose the situation in Europe and the judiciousness of many of your remarks taken individually, I reject the overall context which I consider fundamentally faulty in its logic, and thus not conductive to a fair perception of reality or a just resolution of conflicts.
I thank you again for this opportunity to exchange ideas.
The best article I have read in this website, perfect, common-sense at its finest, enough of political correctness, Westerners are tired of neoliberalism, diversity and islamic-barbarian mentalities (not talking about good, well-mannered muslim citizens).
I agree Russo; This article is very valuable as it is calling into focus the vital importance of cultural integrity as the glue that holds together mass psychological integrity and stability.
Great article!
Also, it is important to mention that Slavic people are different than Western Europeans. Unfortunately, here in North America we are invisible minority and people of color just see us as same as Anglo. We didn’t have slaves as they did. Actually, Serbs were slaves under Ottoman Empire and a lot of them changed religion and become something else. So, my point is that Anglo Saxon neoliberalism and globalism try to make Slavic people share their colonial past and fake guilt. Not all whites are the same.
> “The success of authoritarian regimes is likewise noticeable outside the socio-political sphere, especially in the case of China”
hmmm … authoritarian regimes which are preceptive and sensitive to the needs of the population, and feel their way forwards according to those needs. Authoritarianism isn’t simply the key.
The problem with western democracy is not democracy .. it’s that the democracy is a theatrical fig leaf for the ruling elite’s utter disregard for wellbeing of the population.
