I mean, if you think the Mohammeds across Europe isn't a direct consequence of the dissolution of the Ottoman empire and the measures taken to avoid its resurgence by European colonial powers scared shitless trying to hold their thumbs over the faucet, idk what it'd take to change your perspective.

People don't suddenly leave their homeland when it's stable. And nothing about the state of western asian instability is something that arose organically without the immense pressures to prevent it from getting back its footing (coupled with the decades of looting its resources).

Europe should want to maintain itself for its own people. But as MIA has regularly pointed out, if you don't like refugees, the first step should be doing everything you can to stop making more of them.

In the meantime, undoing a century worth of this crap is going to take more than a few years. And much like disinflation is not the same as deflation, stopping the migration patterns is not the same as restoring some sort of racial purity, whatever that means. Our cultural fabric has been changed by the alteration of our societal makeup. More abruptly than it should have. The way forward though is not to be purely reactive, but to simultaneously integrate what we have to find a point of stability, all while putting a stop to the disorder that put us in this boat. It won't be easy, but unlike going back in time to the 50's (when people were lamenting having to deal with so many new Irish and Italians, among other things anyway), it's possible.

Anyway, I'm sure this'll be a very unpopular post because the right will call me a reckless libtard and the left will call me a racist for taking issue with the massive influx of immigrants in the first place -- nice sign I'm over the target if so.
