Books on Multiculturalism

[LamaEscondida]

Hey fellow freedom-lovers, 

 

I am from Cologne, Germany and as you might have heard therefore exposed to the failures of multiculturalism on a daily basis. However, my fellow citizens still seem to be too afraid (of the media, social backlash) to drop this belief of a kumbaya-Everyone can come here-utopia, so that I would like to help push them towards the light of reality.

 

Can you recommend any good books, that cover in detail what having a multicultural society entails: The loss of trust in your community, insecurity, rising criminality, fear towards the future with regards to shifting democratic powers? I would like to gain the intellectual weapons to take down anyone, who still refuses to see that this is going to end in a massive disaster.. and am therefore looking forward to your responses.

 

 

Cheers, 

Lukas

I know when apartheid ended in South Africa, car jackings, murder, pretty much everything crime related skyrocketed. That's a good and visceral example of multiculturalism failing

Hello LamaEscondida,

 

There are many books written about that subject. I could name a quite few dutch ones if you'd like but i really doubt you could "gain the intellectual weapons to take down anyone".

 

It is like saying that you want a book that teaches you how to beat every great chess player. Now this is great when you are playing chess with great chess players.

But if instead great chess players you play a chimpanzee the book will do you no good.

 

What will happen is that when you play a chimpanzee you are going to start by planning your next chess move in a brilliant way.

And when it is the chimpanzee's turn he is just going to flip the board over and make some loud noises while throwing the chess pieces all over the room.

 

You are operating on the assumption that people are logical entities and presented with the right data that they will suddenly see reason and just update their believes and behaviour.

I can tell you from personal experience that this is not the case.
