Europe’s Elites Seem Determined to Commit Suicide by ‘Diversity’
Wall Street Journal ^ | June 18, 2017 | Douglas Murray

Europe in 2017 is racked with uncertainty—the eurozone crises, the endless challenges of the European Union, national elections that resemble endless rounds of bullet-dodging. Yet even these events are insignificant compared with the deep tectonic shifts beneath the Continent’s politics, shifts that Europeans—and their allies—ignore at our peril.

Throughout the migration crisis of recent years I traveled across the Continent, from the reception islands into which migrants arrive to the suburbs in which they end up and the chancelleries which encouraged them to come. For decades Europe had encouraged guest workers, and then their families, to come. As Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel once admitted, nobody expected them to stay.

Yet stay they did, with their numbers swelling even when there were no jobs. Waking up to the results of their policy, European societies rebranded themselves “multicultural” societies, only to begin wondering what that meant. Could a multicultural society make any demands of its newcomers? Or would that be “racist”?

From the 2000s legal and illegal immigration picked up. Boats regularly set out from Turkey and North Africa to enter Europe illegally. Syrians fleeing civil war pushed into the Continent, soon joined by people from across sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, the Middle East and Far East.

All of the posts above are spot-on, yet they miss one essential element: what if the existing populations slated for substitution begin to fight back?

Once that occurs, we will truly begin to see the evil beauty in the plan. Societal disruption is still good business for the elites, because they win whether the native culture is weakened or replaced.

There's only one way the elites can lose. The leader who forms the coalition of deplorables will be both feared & hated. We have been seeing the media effects of the Empire's efforts to strike back now for 2 years. So far, Trump is holding firm, but at some point he needs to go on the offensive.

A billionaire from France would find he has much more in common with a billionaire from China, Saudi Arabia or Tanzania than he does with just about any of the hoi polloi of Europe or the West. Conversely, all the little people seem alike to him. Thus, he embraces “diversity”.

Not only that, but it’s probably easier to pay net-zero taxes when the billionaires run an opaque global bureaucracy than when elected representatives run the government in a sovereign nation state.

A big lesson for us in the USA. No more muslim immigration! They do not assimilate and eventually want Sharia law which is totally incompatible with our US Constitution. We have to nip this in the bud, if it’s not already too late.

The WSJ has had a shocking change of editorial policy since Trump was elected. They are embracing nationalism. I’m floored by this. Starting with the WSJ’s cheering on of Reagan’s amnesty scheme in the early 80’s, the paper has been overtly treasonous against America. They have been cheerleaders for literal “open border”(their words) and have poured derision on the American people.

It’s really encouraging to read things like this.

Correct. It’s about their thirst for power and money.Tearing down the middle class and the traditional family and Christianity in the west has always been the goal of the left. It creates chaos which is needed for them to create a huge centralized power.

Well said. Believe this in my heart and soul, hence my tagline.

“It is almost like it is planned. Why? Power. Pure and simple. The new muslim moochers will vote the party of bigger and bigger government. It is how the progressives attain and hold power.”

That explanation makes no sense since muslims will create a Caliphate in Europe. Progressive govt will be replaced by Sharia and none of the current leaders will remain in power. In fact they will probably be killed or at least forced to flee for their lives.

close, very close

1. the ruling elites have ALREADY sold out their countries (USA included) to the Moslem invasion and a future of terrorist murder gang attacks from within their borders

2. the ruling elites figure that THEY themselves have enouogh money and connections to somehow escape, find a safe polynesian island to retire to, or?

3. thus, they have SOLD OUT their countries but technically have not tried to commit personal suicide

tho i think they’ll get the Moslem sword at least as fast as their innocent countrymen

That’s because they will always be the elites so they don’t have to deal with it.

I think that the elites want to recreate the past in Europe. They want a new royal class like what existed before the people started getting uppity with notions of freedom and equality. Since the likelihood of the people voting Soros and company the new kings, dukes, etc. is small, they need a new serf class that will be the source of their power. The problem with this is they think the Muslims they are bringing in to be the serfs will be loyal to them alone, when in fact those serfs think that they are conquering Europe in the name of Allah. Eventually things will reach a tipping point that will destroy Europe and the elites.

Europe is committing suicide by liberalism. The elites in Europe don’t care about the people. The people needs to fight, but I believe they don’t care. We still care about the USA, unlike Liberals.

Yes, but more simplistically put, Diversity is a code-word for non-white.

And it’s a brainwashing mantra that forces people to uphold bad equally as good.

No Elite has any intention of committing suicide. They just want their “lessers” to.
