Preface

This book is an assorted collection of articles and essays I wrote between 2015 and 2018. They cover themes of urbanization, identity, diversity, and the future of Western civilization.

I believe that the supporters of open borders have turned the West, its territories and its nations, into a Ponzi scheme. The scheme requires a continuous flow of goods and people from elsewhere in the world, the sources, to Western nations, the sinks. In so doing, the West has absorbed the brightest minds it could not produce itself. It has employed a foreign-born labor force to fuel its low-cost industries because white women, keen on luxury lifestyles, have failed to produce the babies needed to populate the underclasses. And lets not ignore the vast resources procured through a colonial legacy of theft and oppression, both in the past and in the present. In short, immigration to the West is a scam.

With the use of mass media and its 24-hour cycles of deception, Western civilization has convinced the whole world that life is better there. It has awoken a wanderlust, mixed with opportunism, jealousy, and greed, in nearly all of the worlds populations. But under this faade of commercial lies, the West is behaving as a cash-strapped technology startup forced to hype untested products in order to lure in new, uninformed investors. Indeed, thats what immigrants coming to the West really are: uninformed investors. They are at risk of being exploited, followed by intense disappointment. At some point, the world will run out of fools stupid enough to buy into the scheme.

It wasnt always like this. Between the late 8 th century and the 11 th century, Europe nearly completely de-urbanized. Its native peoples left or fled the cities, embracing a traditional rural way of life. The city of Rome, once home to over a million people around the time of Julius Caesar, had shrunk to a village of fewer than 20,000 people. Europeans were willing to forgo having more children over condemning their offspring to a life in the urban prisons. Especially in Northern Europe, where its Germanic peoples never built cities until the Romans forced them to, people felt that living in cities was a humiliating experience. German nobility would shun cities for as long as they could.

Perhaps it is a sign that cities are most unnatural habitats that cannot sustain human life in the long-term. Europe would not see the light of megacities until the Industrial Age and its technological advances made it possible for cities to house and feed millions. The city of Berlin, for example, did not reach a million inhabitants until the late 19 th century, almost two millennia after Rome did.

In our time, Western nations are again undergoing such a process of de-urbanization. White families are leaving their nations major cities in favor of smaller towns in the countryside. The advent of the consumer car has made it possible to work in the big city but still live closer to the land. Fearing economic and social decline, Western ruling elites, always acutely aware of their relative position in the global power play, have decided to open the borders to mass immigration. By enticing the world to come to the West, they hope to restock their cities with immigrants in need of their management.

And so, it has come to be that cities such as London, Paris, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Chicago, New Jersey, or Malm have seen the rise of majority non-white populations, whereas the British, French, Dutch, U.S., and Swedish countryside still host a significant white majority. The same phenomenon has played out throughout the West. Western societies have meanwhile split into two: a white rural West tolerating many non-white urban enclaves. Is it a recipe for durable social progress or for catastrophic social tension? One needs only one glance at South Africa to know the fate of rural Westerners. Once a non-white majority has taken charge of the nations political system, illegal land confiscations follow, and thereafter brutal farm killings, together resembling the first stages of genocide.

Can whites really survive as rural minorities in urbanized, multiracial nations run by globalists?

There is a dark reason why, recently, European nations have set their sights on black African immigrants, personified in the office of the French President, Emmanuel Macron, a former Rothschild banker whose public appearances give off the air of a pharaoh who thinks he can unite white Europe with black Nubia. Presumably, that is to be the first step in establishing George Soross Open Society. The truth is that black immigration has more to do with robbing Africa of its potent labor force than with building open societies. Black blood is the new oil. By robbing Africa of its economically viable men and by putting their labor to work, Europes elites hope to stay wealthy, while simultaneously assuring Africa will stay poor.

Since, presently, nobody can work for lower wages than the black people of Central Africa, Western civilization will notand can notcontinue to thrive any longer than Central Africas women are able to sustain high birth rates. That means the West as we know it will cease to exist, sometime during this century, once black birth canals have exhausted themselves. After that, nobody will be able to undercut Chinese wages. Oswald Spengler, Joseph Tainter, and others were right: the decline of the West is the inevitable outcome of the law of diminishing returns.

Autonomy and the Collective

Without stable traditions, no civilization; without the slow elimination of these traditions, no progress

Gustave le Bon

According to French historian Fustel de Coulanges, The Roman Empire didnt maintain itself by force, but by the religious admiration it inspired. By definition, a peoples traditional faith competes with a belief in the State. Its why progressive liberals so often look down on the religious right. God may be the only thing standing between personal autonomy and collective slavery.

The Rural Revolt against Urban Politics: From Trump to Orbn

April 9 th , 2018

On Sunday, April 8 th , 2018, Viktor Orbn secured his third term as Hungarys President. Unheard of in the United States, his third-term presidency continues an undemocratic wave seen around the world. In The Netherlands, Mark Rutte is serving his fourth term as Prime Minister. In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel has started hers. Russian President Vladimir Putin won his fifth term and Chinas Communist Party awarded President Xi Jinping indefinite rule.

As we see democratically elected emperors spring up around us, rotative democracys waning prestige points to a conflict, a global conflict. I believe it stems from the growing divide between the countryside and the city, namely between diverging interests of rural and urban voters. No side is right or wrong but in a stagnating economy, each side can only defend its way of life at the expense of the other.
