The color revolution sweeping Europe and the Anglosphere
American Thinker ^ | August 31, 2025 | Andrea Widburg

“Color Revolution” was a term coined to describe mostly peaceful protests in post-Soviet countries, when ordinary citizens took to the streets to demand democratic governance, while waving brightly colored flags and banners to symbolize their cause. That same term describes what’s happening across the Anglosphere and Europe, as ordinary, native-born citizens, many with ancestral roots going back centuries or even millennia, rise up against governments that have sidelined citizens in favor of recently arrived Muslim immigrants.

To get a sense of how bad things are in Europe, just look at Amsterdam, once a famously tolerant city in a tolerant country. A Muslim protest took place at the University of Amsterdam. The Muslims beat people with sticks and the police...watched:

Meanwhile, in England, people who say that they’re tired of migrants and don’t want to see Palestinian flags in the UK are getting arrested:

And speaking of flags, flags are different in Europe than in America. A decade ago, long before the full Muslim invasion of Europe, my family played host to a Swedish exchange student. The first thing he did when he arrived at our house was to tape a Swedish flag on the wall. He explained that he was very excited to do so because in Sweden, it was frowned upon to show patriotism.

Indeed, across Europe and the Anglosphere, governments have said that the flags are symbols of right-wing nationalism, so they’ve downplayed or forbidden them. That is, of course, an ex post hoc rationalization. The German flag is not the Nazi flag. And the reason the nationalists wave the flags is because the left-wing European governments have demonized patriotism in favor of allegiance either to the EU or some gauzy “one-worldism.”

The people are going to have to march on their country’s legislatures and drag politicians out to get the change they need.

The problem is leftism. Jihadists are just a symptom.

“Color Revolution” was a term coined to describe mostly peaceful protests in post-Soviet countries, “

No, actually that started in the mid 80s with the yellow revolution in the Philippines. Large nonviolent protest, with a color organizing the protesters. If the government is not prepared to commit mass murder on peaceful protesters, they generally prevail.

“with a color organizing the protesters”

I never understood that term, “color revolution”. And how can an inanimate color organize or do anything?

Not going to happen although the Brits are starting to show signs of life. Or resistance. They're marching in defense of their flag in big numbers. Good for them. Trouble as I see it is they keep begging or even demand that Trump ''save'' them.

“Color revolutions” were always intel-operation coups.

Europe is a sick joke. Should’ve let the Nazis have the whole damned place. At least those ball-less idiots would have been conquered by fellow Europeons.

Unfortunately, the elites who run various western European countries are the mortal enemies of their own people. I suspect they will have to be rooted out by force.

--- "The problem is leftism. Jihadists are just a symptom."

Though faded in many people's memory, those Ba'ath Party governments of Syria and Iraq were premised as socialist. Moreover, given that National Socialism was socialism, the Mufti of Jerusalem was enamored of the National Socialists. The Western Left thinks it can use Islam to its purposes, while Islam thinks it can use the Western Left to its purposes.

Neither is to be trusted. Ever.

I disagree with the statement that Europe is committing suicide. The way it looks to me is that Europe has already committed suicide and we’re just waiting for certification the heartbeat is stopped to declare official death.

I honestly have played the various scenarios out of my brain and I cannot possibly see how anything is going to stop this invasion of Islam. Even a full fledged violent revolt is going to have to happen with out proper weaponry and will not only be fought against the Islamic Invaders but will also have to contend with the various governments military. Because the European governments will use the military to defend the Islamic Invaders. That is a fact that must be accepted.

Correct. Author does not know what one is. In fact, had one done in the US in 2020 election.
