Actually believing in lowbrow fairy tales like racial and sexual equality is civilization-ending. Not just them either, we're all in the same boat here.
If democracy means unlimited pensions and Pakistanis, of course it won't be popular. The prestige of democracy came from the fact that in the late 20th century democratic countries were world-historically rich, stable, powerful, and internally peaceful.
Fact of the matter is that most of the winning Cold War democratic bloc has been in very noticeable decline since 2008. In my view, mostly because of extremely destructive social/legal changes in the 60s that undermined the basis of our civilization.
The US has had actual economic growth thanks mostly to tech and fracking, but even worse social decay.
1Disagree. 85.9 to 77.4 is like going from Argentina to Kenya. This is one reason why getting some sort of racist or nativist political consensus is so urgent from a "keep the power on" perspective. If half the political spectrum is pro-Open Borders when Africa's pop doubles...
Even ignoring absolutely everything else, the default future of the rich world without severe immigration restriction is like 3/4 African + (unselected) South Asian. That's civilization-ending. We need a consensus for restriction on *some* basis ASAP.
This in turn is the single biggest reason mass skilled immigration is fatal: skilled immigrants tend to see themselves as *immigrants* (rather than Americans, or civilized, high IQ individuals, or some other identity that could oppose this) and oppose restrictions on that basis.
Destroy your society with welfare-parasite-rapists vs with welfare-parasite-rapists aligned with intelligent foreign subversives who can take over. Not as though Britain has actually benefitted from nonwhite immigration, "we're going to have a civil war" is now mainstream.
I'm sure everyone who follows me has seen the "Britain immigration charts" a few times, but I'll post them again here. Severe 21st century economic dysfunction, declining physical capital stock per person.
The Usual Suspects are criminal in Britain as they are in the rest of Europe, Tories quadrupled Pakistani immigration, British industrial economy is collapsing, the % of net fiscal burdens keeps going up.
Smarter people learn to cooperate more in Prisoner's Dilemmas over iterations (blue: higher Raven's Matrices score, red: lower Raven's Matrices score). This is plausibly one of the reasons for the "Hive Mind" effect (national IQ being more important than personal IQ).
Apropos of nothing: immigration lowers national IQ almost everywhere.
Thread with excerpts from "Fall of the Double Eagle: The Battle for Galicia and the Demise of Austria-Hungary."
The multiethnic nature of Austria-Hungary meant that it could not separate domestic and foreign policy; every foreign issue had a domestic lobby and vice-versa.
The military was a complex, highly-bureaucratic, inefficient, and unwieldy behemoth, the natural result of a dozen ethnic groups and countless dialects. The army was bound together by dynastic loyalty, and Franz Joseph saw it more as a domestic than a foreign instrument.
It's true that Mamdani's politics are not confined to a single race, but his sort of postcolonial/anti-white Fabian socialism has dominated Indian elites since the 30s and Asians in general, and Indians in particular, are the most ideologically* New Left race in the country.
I think race (and ethnicity/LGBT - Mamdani's white support is probably ~50% Jewish and very gay) are much more salient to why Millennial socialism is a major political force than downwards mobility among elite.
*I specify ideologically because ofc blacks vote (D) more. But blacks are voting more for gibs and racial patronage.
