The Race

Fjordman provides a bleak yet trenchant observation concerning the probability of Muslim ascendancy in Europe:
The less control the authorities have with Muslims, the more control they want to exercise over non-Muslims. As problems in Europe get worse, which they will, the EU will move in an increasingly repressive direction until it either becomes a true, totalitarian entity or falls apart. This strange mix of powerful censorship of public debate, yet little control over public law and order, has by some been labelled anarcho-tyranny.
Do the socialist ninnies currently in power in a number of European countries truly believe that their multicultural transnationalism will save them from the sword?

Fjordman is certainly on the mark with his observation concerning the First and Second Amendments. Being able to seperate the Islamic savages from the tepid moderates and to explain clearly that their murderous acts are entirely consonant with a religion developed for tyrants and slaves allows one to maintain clarity when considering the appropriate level of distrust required to deal with them. Cobras are far more trustworthy.

I think this is absolutely the most important article I read all day, Rick. I have been watching this phenomenon develop over the last 2 years. Maybe we ought to run arms in to the EU..or help the right learn how to win elections, starting with assistance to bloggers there who are far behind us.

I cannot find fault with Fjordman's article at all.

He's been doing some pieces at Gates of Vienna that are excellent. I really don't care if a tranzi wants to have his throat cut for multiculturalist ideals but putting people in jail for calling rabid rats rats - with the justification that you might offend the rat - is incredible.

Apparently indoctrination functions better in Europe than it does here.

"Now what?"

They get to play Eloi and Morlock for a while? A child mentions that the socialist emperor is not just naked - he's been dead for years and really stinks the place up?

I suppose that eventually the 35% of the populace necessary to effect postive change might wake up but there is little sign of awakening at this point. What does come after nihilism? Only the absolute security and peace of the grave as far as I can see.

There is a far smaller alternative media in Europe; the laws on free speech far slimmer; the Brussels mandarinate has been encroaching on free speecha nd action more every day; and Europeans are more accepting of the myriad ways regulators control their lives.

Can we help them? Can we set up some other way of getting thru to Europeans past the state sponsored and leftist press there?(A sort of Internet Free Europe)

I read the book the Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle years ago, and the thing that struck me the most about the book was that the people did not fight back. They just let the Apes have it all. I have wondered if the author saw something in European culture in the 60's, a denial of reality that inhibited them and ultimately emasculated the entire culture.

I have a client who is a quad. He is very into sports and movies, anything that might distract him...but his knee jerk reaction to bad news or threat is that it is not there. I think it is a defensive mechanism.

Europe spent so many centuries in war and extremism that sometimes I wonder if they are like that, they just refuse to see the threat. They can not bear the conflict, like the children of alcholics they will go to great lengths to avoid confrontation.

So perhaps the culprit is a combination of guilt and fear and avoidance.

david:

I am not so sure they think that. I mean I think that the Europeans believe that if we do away with greed and want the Islamists will still be what they are, but they will be it somewhere else. They will stay in their nasty little world and leave the Euros alone, just don'get them worked up. Like they were animals in a zoo or something.

I am sure they know what Iranians do to gays, but they don't live in Iran so what do they care?

skook:

Yes, that is it. They are afraid.

Look at those pictures of WW2 and we see why. Most of the Europeans alive today did not see that war, but I think there is something akin to genetic memory at work here, they really do want to be left alone. No more they say, no more.

PUK, what a well thought out post.

Peter,

What a horribly great synopsis. I keep trying to tell myself that it can't happen here - and then I see Hillary's picture.

Late to the thread. But, just have to say;

Excellent and well done appraisal PeterUK.

Depressing, frankly, much like Fjordman's thesis, even with your different take.

But better to face reality than to live in a dreamworld. I must admit to fearing for our future.

And, Peter, you would get used to the 'dry heat' of Tucson.

I hope you Americans take heed it has taken a mere sixty years to pull down the work of centuries.

A Polish friend once told me: "civilization is only one generation deep".
