Crusader1986 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 So where's all this headed? What do you guys think is going to happen over the next few decades? Is there going to be civil war between the muslims and Europeans? Or will our politicians finally get it under control by exposing Islam for what it is by making every child at school study Islam, the Islamic Invasions of Europe in the Middle Ages and the life of the Prophet Mohammad, stop benefits for muslims thus stopping them from breeding, kick out the jihadis, close down the mosques, enforce our own laws, stop immigration and kick start the integration/assimilation process? Or maybe they don't want to sort it out and really want a cross culture clash between the two cultures. All these are possibilities but what do you guys think is around the corner? I personally think our leaders are weak and incompetent and will make sure that Civil War happens in the end but maybe there's another possibility that I haven't thought of. Let me know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofd Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 If nothing catastrophic happens, say a Muslim attack with hundreds of casualties, the US-scenario will be likely. You will then see large ghettos in major cities, where Muslims, Africans and poor Europeans live, while the majority of White People will segregate by moving away to suburban areas, along with the talented tenth of the minorities. Naturally, the low level conflict will go on in the meantime but it won't be discussed in polite society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.2 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hi, Failla! I am so glad you tossed up this question. Speculating about culture and geopolitics is my favourite passtime. I would first like to get on the same page as you, so I have a few questions. 1. Your question presupposes that there is a "European" struggle against "Islam". What do you define as Europe and European? What do you define as Islam and Muslim? 2. You also presuppose that we all agree that there is a "struggle" against Islam. As far as I noticed, half of the continent are not only not struggling against Islam, but they are actively inviting them in. So how did you come to the conclusion that there is a struggle? And if there is a struggle, who specifically is struggling? 3. You bring up the term "civil war". When would you consider the civil war to have begun? Some would think, as I do, that the civil war has already begun in some places. Just take a look at Hamburg, Brussels, Kaukasia, the rhetoric of Turkey and of Poland. 4. What do you mean by "our politicians"? Do you mean those of your country, or that of the EU, or that of broader Europe? 5. Would you entertain the possibility that the continent will splinter and go on their separate various paths, or do you think we are far too interconnected, and that we will all have the same destiny?

Crusader1986 Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 1. By European I mean ethnic Europeans. I think "moderate" cultural muslims will side with the extremists and jihadists when it comes down to it. When I talk about Islam I don't just mean the ideology, I also mean Islam as a culture, so you can lump all the gay hating, jew hating, women beating, female genital mutilation, sharia law, anti free speech, anti music, anti art, anti alcohol and anti everything that's enjoyable into the same category as the religion as even the non devout muslims often bring all their anti gay and anti Jew views with them wherever they go, even if they aren't religious. 2. By struggle I mean the loss of peace we had in Europe in the 90s (minus Bosnia and Kosovo). I also mean struggle as the slow islamisation, creeping sharia that we find eating into our societies, and the slow loss of our freedoms. Although yes, most people are blind to what's going on, a lot of people I think are aware of the problems we're facing, hence why UK voted to leave the EU. Remember they did a poll earlier this year or late last year, after which the results showed that most people not only in the UK but also around Europe wanted no more muslim immigration. So yes, people are aware, somewhere between 50/50 and just over half of people. From what I can see it's mostly working class people who are awake, not the middle class, left wing university clowns and their stupid political leaders. Here's the poll, it should fill you with some hope. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/most-europeans-want-muslim-ban-immigration-control-middle-east-countries-syria-iran-iraq-poll-a7567301.html 3. Good question. Yes there is no black and white answer as civil wars aren't like other wars such as wars between superpowers with millions of infantry pouring into another country's territory armed with mass numbers of artillery and tanks. I dont think the civil war has started yet, it'll become clearer when it does. It'll be a tit for tat conflict with muslims going into the streets and killing non muslims and vice versa, for example a few hundred angry english football fans clashing with Pakistani gangs somewhere in the high streets of some Yorkshire city, with baseball bats and knives. 4. By politicians I mean European politicians. May, Macron, Merkel and all the other idiots we've had over the last 15 years. 5. I think we'll see the return of the nation states now that Nationalism is coming back. But not before the breakup of the EU which won't happen for a while.

M.2 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Thanks for the clarifications, Failla86 In my opinion, this will be the repeating of the fall of the Roman Empire. More specifically, the Western Roman Empire. Because the Eastern Europeans have proven much more resistent to Multikultur, Globalism, and Islam. Therefore, they will survive for much longer. Whereas the Western European countries will be embroiled in civil war one by one. There may be a few exceptions, like Portugal, Ireland, Switzerland, but the western part of the continent will not exist in the form it is in today. At the end of everything however, I think Islam will be sent back to the desert, just as it was during the Reconquista and the Balkan wars. The Pope will convert the newly formed states, and the loop will start over again. If I were you, I would be much less reliant on the "ethnic europeans". There are many very european nations today that are not so ethnically european. The Portuguese, the Andalusians, the Maltese are all genetically closer to Arabs than to Germans. Then there are the Finnish and the Hungarians whose ethnicity is also debatable, but I doubt you would argue against their european identity. What makes us European is not our ethnicity, but our ideology. What I want to see is another video on the Fall of the Roman Empire, but this time on the Eastern Roman Empire, and how they handled the barbarian hordes. That should give us an idea of what is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviet Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Interesting discussion. I think that OFD's suggestion is one of the most likely. But there are so many factors that could change the direction: war and depression among them. The UK currently has an influx of about 1 million Muslims per decade. If you pan that out, that is 8.5 million by 2100, plus the likely 4 million here and a + replacement fertility rate it's quite feasible that we could see 15-20 million Muslims in the UK by 2100, At the current rate the general population will be about 90 million. So you could be looking at about a 20% Muslim population by 2100; and on the same trajectory that will probably be a Muslim majority by 2200. I suspect the trend in other North European countries is similar. This will be a drastically changed society in any walk of life, particularly if you happen to live in an area where Muslims have become the majority. It's a question of if our politicians will do anything to change that immigration course. At current this seems unlikely. In the UK the biggest issue (polled at around 40% of people) is reducing immigration and it has been like that for some time. Yet no political party will seize the lead by quietly suggesting the roll out of a Japanese or Australian-style immigration program and not even go into all the topics Stef would. This suggests to me that the politicians are either spineless or serving an agenda, probably both. All the fake Conservatives would have had to do to win the election by a good margin was say they are bringing in a points-based immigration system and say they'll provide more money for the NHS. That's all they'd have to do. Polls have also shown that the most solid support for Labour is immigrants and for the Conservatives it's the old, followed by the young. If your the Conservative, you thus grow your base by encouraging citizens to have children, giving care to the old and limiting immigration. But I have no faith that corpse of a political party could shift for the current course. So if we continue to slowly economically deteriorate over the next few decades I think we will find little changes in terms of immigration and the political approach to Islamisisation. And that we will need a depression, a war or some other catastrophe to shake us from this course. Luckily a depression seems inevitable and I think that the EU political order will break down in the face of unpopular mass immigration and depression. So as OFD says, I would go with the creation of US-style ghettos, which are varyingly populated by Muslims, other third worlders and poor whitea, while the rich whites and non-white move away from whereever the ghettos encroach into and remain virtue signaling in their residential safe spaces. Following this course, the affects of economically unviable and culturally backwards immigrants will become more apparent: more welfare, more criticism of white privilege etc., more terrorism... This will continue until a major societal breakdown. Given that we have more than 100 years on the current trajectory, the likelihood of societal instability is high. Personally I am done with the West. I'm leaving in less than 48 hours and have no plans to return. I can no longer bare the pain of clearly seeing the insane, anti-fact, incoherent downwards spiral of Europe. Over the last few years, I've lost 'friends' I've known for half my life for daring to present factual information compiled by Western governments, the UN, academics and polling agencies on to the negative effects of mass immigration. These have all been thrown back in my face with hysterical hissing and spitting. I've been othered. I'm less than human. I'm basically a member of the National Front. That I'm of a non-white immigrant background hasn't granted me anything. So I cut these white-middle-class, virtue signalling cunts out of my life before they had the chance to. I don't know how this will pan out, but there is also an internal decay of Islam and it's difficult to know how profound it is as Islam has it's own political correctness. Islamic political correctness is the exact inversion of Western political correctness bar one facet they have in common - THOU SHALT NOT INSULT ISLAM. If you are an apostate in Islam, it's likely that you're going to need to shut up or face your life being ruined, being abandoned by friends and family and possibly being killed. But you can see quite considerable, largely anonymous apostate communities online. From studying the act my observation is that apostates tend to be above average intelligence, even by Western standards. If they are in the West it tends to happen when they go to university, which is when they are likely to first have any real considerable contact with non-Mulsims. Obviously low IQ individuals aren't going to get into this position. And another big factor behind them leaving Islam is the amount of violence that is attached to it; in the texts, cultural practices and terror. Since most Muslim countries have low sub-80 IQs, there is little chance of these people slipping out. When you live in a fascist society that presents a very narrow realm to live in and enforces it with considerable violence, ignorance and blind faith, you're not going to be able to understand that if you have an 85 IQ. Goodbye cruel West. Enjoy your enrichment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader1986 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Yeah that sounds pretty possible. I'm wondering though what is there the government could do once the doors are completely closed to immigration to stop the muslims from breeding? I'm thinking about limiting benefits to muslims to 2 children. That should stop their incentive to breed. I mean you look at france and though the situation is dire there, in 1991 the muslim population was 5 million and now it's 7 million, which is only an increase in 2 million in 20 years. That's not much considering if they had been breeding like the british muslims who double their population every decade, they would have doubled to 10 million in 2001 and then 20 million in 2011. Surely limiting benefits is the way to go? Also what are the rules in france regarding polygamy? Can muslims claim benefits for their multiple wives or are there rules banning it? Also i'm not aware on what kind of benefits muslims can claim overall in france so could anyone enlighten me on this subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you see, no, officially, polygamy is not recognised. Nor are sharia courts by the way. But also, unofficial polygamy is not punishable by law. 3. http://www.cleiss.fr/docs/regimes/regime_france/an_4.html The french government only supports families with children, and does not support someone for merely having a wife.

Crusader1986 Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Yes I do think we should get rid of benefits. It would be better if we bannished the entire welfare state to the history books, that would be preferable. By the way, what makes you think i'm focused on the symptoms?

I would want 100% of permanent residents to fit that standard. I don't have a minimum IQ standard, because when left to our own devices Aryans breed eugenically either way. I also wouldn't impose religions, let the free market of ideas take its course (which includes hate speech and exposing the Jews). My point is that you can't have a free society if your society is dead. Once our existence is secured, we can privatize and transfer more responsibilities to private citizens. But this idea, that we're going to achieve that by removing government overnight is ludicrous. People openly want us dead. Take the red pill, goyim. 3 hours ago, Mishi2 said: When exactly was the NAP first broken by, according to you, the enemies of the West? Well I don't actually see anyone as enemies. I simply see them as acting in accordance with their genes. I simply thing that we get to defend ourselves. Physical confrontations have occurred among our brothers' just as much as with non-Aryans. That could not take us down. What really hurt us was the information wars waged by the Jews. So many times in history, they offered artistic creations to young children while casually portraying degenerate behavior (faggotry, lesbianism, polyamory, adultery, incest, etc.) as if it had always been the norm. Oh, you see the reason you don't understand this art is because it's an "acquired taste". This art is "modern". Come along goyim, we will guide you toward the light of "progress". Oh, but wait! Did you call out this art as an attempt at subversion? You're an -ist or -obe! Oh, but wait! Did you name the Jew? Anti-semite! This is outright fraud. They fraudulently sold us a poison pill, and naive youngsters swallowed. Baby boomers? Hmmm... You might think that it is just a Jewish ((( coincidence ))) of modern times. But their names ((( echo ))) throughout history. Just look at all the countries that kicked them out. Yes... I'm sure they all just woke up anti-Semitic one morning -_- Reality check: they took their everything straight from the ((( The Frankfurt school ))). Same goes for the mostly Jewish Soviet government. Due to this information war, young boys - the future protectors and builders of society - have grown to become weak, defenseless, and useless men. As the saying goes, "14 is the goal. 88 is the way". Fash the nation. Uncuck the right. Then, you wanna talk freedom when you're not dead? Ok, then we'll listen. Until then, sperging about AnCap is pointless. 3 hours ago, Mishi2 said: What needs to change so that we can be ready the next time they return?

Crusader1986 Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 I get what you're saying, but it does seem to me that if we were to deport every muslim back to the middle east tomorrow, things would improve literally overnight. As for root causes you could say the root cause of these problems could be a number of things. One being governments. We need smaller governments. That way there'd be no welfare state, women would rely on men again for support, which would see the rebirth of the family, an increase in our birth rates, the preservation of our culture and race, and we wouldn't need to import a ton of people from the third world. There'd also be no EU, which is a big problem. Maybe the decline of Christianity as well is the problem. Most people don't have a high enough IQ to be able to come up with a "purpose" of their own to guide their life. They're not smart enough to decide for themselves what they really want out of life and what purpose to dedicate their life to (eg you could aspire to be a musician, artist, entrepreneur, philosoper etc) as these all require a certain level of critical thinking so as a result they live their lives without purpose. Before atheism Christianity and worshipping God was what the vast majority of people gravitated to. Now that's gone, what do most people aspire to do with their lives? They're clueless hence why they rely on society to tell them what to do, and they get brainwashed that they must watch sports, reality tv, get the best grades at high school, go to college, graduate and do some soul crushing job that doesn't motivate them. As a result people go around purpose less. It further destroys men because feminism has taken away men's motivation to grab resources as women now have a husband known as the welfare state to take care of them. And it destroys women as they get brainwashed that they need to go to college until they're 28 and by the time they graduate they can't find a high value man because they're all screwing the young 23 year old models and don't want anything to do with them. So society is screwed without a purpose. Like I said if Christianity was still prominent it would solve a lot of our problems. Then there's socialism that has totally screwed up society. I'm starting to think it might be the biggest problem because it's down to the borderless, stateless, egalitarian marxist trash ideology of Socialism that Christianity can't coexist in our society because the marxists love to demonise it. As Karl Marx said, religion is "the opium of the masses". Socialism also loves feminism because it completely gets rid of gender roles to the point where we have gender neutrality. Remember the cultural marxists are obsessed with equality. Then you have mass immigration which socialism also loves because it's a way to create divisions in society so that we're all easy to control. Also it loves Islam as it's ruthless and brutal and makes a great friend, one they can use to bully and intimidate the lovers of freedom into silence and submission due to the threat of violence. So yeah socialism could be the main problem here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 7/17/2017 at 9:09 PM, Mishi2 said: What religions, or lack thereof, does your ideal society adhere to? ROMAN CATHOLICISM. And of course a free market of ideas so that the best arguments (like UPB) can win since growth is far preferable to decline, and consent to the Church versus indoctrination always worked best for us. On 7/17/2017 at 9:09 PM, Mishi2 said: What are other requirements for building your ideal society of freedom? Free Market; no/tiny state. White people 100%.

I think Erwin has this answer down pat. Mine is similar but I'd focus less on the bad Jews and more on the State and the Marxist parasite.

You haven't really specified those standards. What is your duck like? Quote My point is that you can't have a free society if your society is dead. Once our existence is secured, we can privatize and transfer more responsibilities to private citizens. But this idea, that we're going to achieve that by removing government overnight is ludicrous. People openly want us dead. Take the red pill, goyim. I am also of the opinion that the government is here to stay for a while. Do I understand correctly that the greatest existential threat to the West is Islam? Or is it the Jews? Quote Well I don't actually see anyone as enemies. I simply see them as acting in accordance with their genes. I simply thing that we get to defend ourselves. Physical confrontations have occurred among our brothers' just as much as with non-Aryans. That could not take us down. What really hurt us was the information wars waged by the Jews. So many times in history, they offered artistic creations to young children while casually portraying degenerate behavior (faggotry, lesbianism, polyamory, adultery, incest, etc.) as if it had always been the norm. Name the Jew. Check out How a Jew Became a Nazi by Jews for Hitler. In fact, there is a theory in our circles that Stefan is more Alt Right than he lets on (aka, "hiding your power-level"). Watch Stefan call out the Jewry of Israel's border policy. Genetically, Jews are pretty much Europeans. And the Portuguese and the Maltese are pretty much genetically Arabic. So I see a few problems with your thinking. But now I'm a bit confused. Do you think it is ideology that is the problem, or is it genes? Or is it all correlated? I know that Soros is a Jew, even though his genes are more Hungarian, German and probably Slavic than Jew by now, but is Ben Shapiro in the same camp as he is? I think that Jews have had a hard time assimilating into Europe because of their absolutist ideology, not because of their genetics. And I also think so about Muslims. Egyptian Copts have become completely arabised by now, yet you don't see their incompatibilty when they move to the west. On the other side, there are the Bosnians and the Albanians who are absolutely European, yet simply cannot go a decade without a good old ethnic cleansing. Quote Half what? Do you pass as white? Depends which side of the bed I wake up on. What are your criteria? 18 hours ago, Failla86 said: 1. I get what you're saying, but it does seem to me that if we were to deport every muslim back to the middle east tomorrow, things would improve literally overnight. 2. As for root causes you could say the root cause of these problems could be a number of things. One being governments. We need smaller governments. That way there'd be no welfare state, women would rely on men again for support, which would see the rebirth of the family, an increase in our birth rates, the preservation of our culture and race, and we wouldn't need to import a ton of people from the third world. There'd also be no EU, which is a big problem. 3. Maybe the decline of Christianity as well is the problem. Most people don't have a high enough IQ to be able to come up with a "purpose" of their own to guide their life. They're not smart enough to decide for themselves what they really want out of life and what purpose to dedicate their life to (eg you could aspire to be a musician, artist, entrepreneur, philosoper etc) as these all require a certain level of critical thinking so as a result they live their lives without purpose. Before atheism Christianity and worshipping God was what the vast majority of people gravitated to. Now that's gone, what do most people aspire to do with their lives? They're clueless hence why they rely on society to tell them what to do, and they get brainwashed that they must watch sports, reality tv, get the best grades at high school, go to college, graduate and do some soul crushing job that doesn't motivate them. As a result people go around purpose less. It further destroys men because feminism has taken away men's motivation to grab resources as women now have a husband known as the welfare state to take care of them. And it destroys women as they get brainwashed that they need to go to college until they're 28 and by the time they graduate they can't find a high value man because they're all screwing the young 23 year old models and don't want anything to do with them. So society is screwed without a purpose. Like I said if Christianity was still prominent it would solve a lot of our problems. 4. Then there's socialism that has totally screwed up society. I'm starting to think it might be the biggest problem because it's down to the borderless, stateless, egalitarian marxist trash ideology of Socialism that Christianity can't coexist in our society because the marxists love to demonise it. As Karl Marx said, religion is "the opium of the masses". Socialism also loves feminism because it completely gets rid of gender roles to the point where we have gender neutrality. Remember the cultural marxists are obsessed with equality. Then you have mass immigration which socialism also loves because it's a way to create divisions in society so that we're all easy to control. Also it loves Islam as it's ruthless and brutal and makes a great friend, one they can use to bully and intimidate the lovers of freedom into silence and submission due to the threat of violence. So yeah socialism could be the main problem here... 1. I completely agree, but there is a reason they got here in the first place, and that was not weak border security. 2. Governments grow because people surrender their freedoms. A tragedy for sure, yet still not the root cause. 3. Maybe not christianity necessarily, but an absolutist ideology is deffinitely what we are missing. The few times the West could actually give the Muslims a good whooping was under the symbol of the cross. But again, christianity is dwindling for a reason, and I wonder why. 4. Socialism is an idea that every healthy 13 year old dreams of creating. Then of course they grow up and get a job, and they realise that socialism would be the worst thing ever. What was the reason for some of these people not getting to grow up, and not having the idea beaten out of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 @Siegfried von Walheim degeneracy is present in every religion. There's got to be some way to explain human genesis, after all. In pretty much every religion I can think of, it is usually explained away as "oh, it was ok because they were divine, but you commoners can't do those things". The teachings of the top Pagan God was always strength and wisdom. They never promoted degenerate behavior. In fact, Julius Caesar duly noted that the northern hordes shamed and ostracized promiscuous behavior. EDIT: Aristotle, Augustus Caesar, and Kaiser Barbarossa were Pagans were they not?

They have artificially created an ethnicity for themselves, as every Ashkenazi can trace their heritage to only 4 Slavic women (due to cousin-f***ing). This is why we associate the typical Jew-look with Jews. Big nose, ears, wide lips, dark hair, curly hair, etc. Matter of fact, they openly consider themselves as a separate ethnicity (the Talmud was written about 200 years after Christ), which is where the term "atheist Jew" comes from. They are not pure Europeans and it matters a lot because Jews do not breed the same way Aryans breed: - The most re-productively successful Jews have been the rabbi, which required high verbal ability (which is why they score highly in IQ tests, despite their mediocre reasoning skills). - The most re-productively successful Jewish tribes were those who successfully subverted the local culture and males. Combine those 2 facts with many generations of selecting for those exact traits and you end up with an ethnicity that is genetically predisposed to engage in those behaviors. 6 hours ago, Mishi2 said: Depends which side of the bed I wake up on.

Hypocritical religions don't affect much in the way of character; they can secure compliance in the here and now, but rarely true faith. Christianity (which is all New Testament) is highly consistent and while it varies per sect, very much against hypocrisy and is all-in-all a very White religion. I mean, the atheist Stefan-senpai is so Christian the only thing not making him one is his atheism. U.P.B. is basically a secular bible in terms of lessons and meaning. 1 minute ago, Erwin said: Thank you for the knowledge bomb, I stand corrected Look up "Hidden Christians" to learn just how powerful the religion is and how true the Japanese Christians remained without any White/Christian influence in 400 years.

Or their later halves which were becoming r-selected thanks to a welfare-warfare state? And then there is the Holy Roman Empire, Poland, France, etc. that came after. Islam is very anti-degeneracy, yet many Muslims live like degenerates either secretly or publicly in the West. A strong stance against degeneracy does not necessarily get rid of it.

If the Champion is a hypocrite, then what foundation does the morality have? While a double standard makes sense when talking about humans and animals, I wouldn't treat women like children but rather the same I do men. That being said I'm not expecting women (using gender) to be soldiers, laborers, etc. but I do hold them to the same moral standard as men. Likewise I hold Africans to the same moral standards I hold Aryans. Hence why I consider them mostly "savages". If I thought they were merely evolved monkeys, I wouldn't call them savage because...well, the same reason we don't call wolves barbarians. They would be simply incapable of being any different. Theoretically races can be reconstructed through the elimination of the unfavorable and the promotion of the favorable. But that's a whole other conversation.

I'm weary about using false idols are role models since, as the saying goes, "honesty is the best policy except when murderers are involved". For example, I'd rather use Jesus as an example of resisting temptation, Sima Yi as an example of deferring gratification (in his dream of seizing ultimate power and pacifying WWII-level war torn China), Richard the Lionheart or Gustavus Adolphus for bravery, Zhuge Liang for wisdom, Aristotle for reason, etc. etc. Real people make better idols because they're harder to corrupt and are...well, from a human perspective, more inspiring because if a "mere mortal" could do it then "I" could too.
