Last month, famed psychologist Jordan Peterson called multiculturalism “a miracle of stupidity.” First of all, “we’ve always had a multicultural world,” he explained on GB News. “That’s why there’s been wars, right? So along with multiculturalism goes wars when the cultures don’t get along.”
And when “multiculturalism” gives you multiple cultures within the same country and they don’t get along, the wars occur within.
Welcome to today’s West.
Yet as multicultural fantasies crash and burn and threaten to immolate the nations that entertained them, the pseudo-elites who caused the problems don’t take responsibility — instead, they blame the working- and middle-class citizens who bear the brunt of these miraculously stupid policies, pointed out The Telegraph’s Allison Pearson last week.
Just yesterday I wrote about a related ism — immigrationism — and its effects on the West. The United States now has a record 49.5 million immigrants (at least). What’s more, 4.5 million illegals have entered our country since January 2021, when Joe Biden took office; this exceeds the populations of 25 states. And owing to this continual influx, our foreign-born population could reach 59 million by the end of a possible Biden second term, a study informs.
It isn’t just the United States, either. Whether or not Irish eyes are smiling, the immigrationists have more than eyed Ireland, with almost 20 percent of the land’s population now foreign-born. In fact, (im)migration has been an institution all across the West. This has enabled and has been enabled by multiculturalism, as foreign inundation is used to justify the ideology, and the ideology justifies foreign inundation.
The ideology also contravenes assimilation. In fact, it’s so bad in Sweden that assimilation “is completely out of the question,” lamented journalist Mikael Jalving in 2014. “Everybody, in all mainstream political parties and media … would laugh — laugh — about the word assimilation,” he continued. “[It] is a Nazi word in Sweden.”
But as writer Ayn Rand put it, “We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality” — and the “multicultural monster,” as the aforementioned Pearson frames it, is starting to bear its fangs.
Pearson opens talking about how Irish women staged a protest in July after hearing that 60 male “asylum seekers” would be housed in their neighborhood. These women were concerned about the safety of their children and grandchildren; after all, at issue were young, libidinous men who, Pearson points out, often view women with exposed heads and flesh as fair game (she won’t come out and say they’re Muslim). The authorities were sympathetic, too, of course, right?
Not a chance.
In fact, the onus is put on the women. “People are afraid,” Pearson quotes one protesting lady as having said. “There is no one coming to speak to us. All the political parties do is use Facebook to call frightened women racists and bullies.”
“What struck me about those women in their 40s, 50s and 60s — women with daughters and granddaughters to worry about — was that a major part of their anger arose from the fact that, not only were they not being heard, they were being treated as the problem,” Pearson continued. “They weren’t the problem, and they knew they weren’t.”
Yet as if to illustrate the actual problem, just recently a Muslim man — an Algerian-born naturalized Irish citizen — stabbed a lady and three children at a traditional, Gaelic-language Irish primary school. This resulted in massive protests and accompanying riots (the Algerian suspect himself was beaten into a coma).
Pearson points out that in saner times, combating a foreign threat wouldn’t be left to people in the street; the authorities would fill that role.
But not in today’s Ireland — or West. In the school stabbing incident’s wake, Emerald Isle authorities are treating the slogan “Irish Lives Matter” as hate speech, while the nation’s pseudo-elites mouth platitudes about mass migration. A most telling example occurred last year after Boko Haram murdered 40 Christians in Nigeria: The “president of Ireland, Michael Higgins, blamed the massacre on global warming,” noted commentator Tim Stanley.
So it’s not surprising that these pseudo-elites don’t want to address the mass-migration status quo. And it’s not surprising that they used the school-stabbing-inspired riots to deflect. “One could almost hear the establishment sigh with relief,” wrote Stanley, “for now they wouldn’t have to talk about immigration and could denounce racism instead.”
And while there were hooligans who used the protests as a pretext to cause trouble, cedes Pearson, there’s another side to the story. Per Pearson:
As the political commentator John McGuirk, editor of the Gript website, tweeted: “When thousands of people protested peacefully in East Wall, and in other communities across Dublin, their reward was not to be recognised or engaged with for their peaceful political participation. Their reward was rather to be called far-Right, deplorable, and the dregs of Irish society. Every single effort has been made to silence people. Today, they made themselves heard. I wish they had chosen another way. And then I remember. They did. And you all refused to listen.”
But hear they will, eventually, as reality’s consequences are rearing their ugly head (relevant tweet below).
Add to this a French official’s warning that a long-feared civil war may be nigh, that German police just called a migrant crime wave “frightening,” and that a jihadist plot to massacre an entire French village was recently exposed, and the picture becomes even clearer. Even more is covered in my recent piece, “For the West to Live, Immigration(ism) Must Die.”
This said, it’s not as if the pseudo-elites aren’t paying attention. After an Algerian Muslim gang murdered a teen boy and injured 16 other people in a recent knife attack in Crepol, France, the authorities sprung into action. They pledged, as the BBC put it, to “tackle” the “ultra-right.”
