Reddit reviews Strange Death of Europe, The

Sadly many did not vote for this (anytime the plebs are asked across the west the majority Always say NO!)

This is a great book,[ (https://www.amazon.com/Strange-Death-Europe-Douglas-Murray/dp/1543625487)

> Which bit of Europe exactly?

Western and Northern, with a couple exceptions. Even regular folks in your own nation are starting to notice. John Cleese explicitly stated that London isn't an English city anymore.

> when your own demographics are in a laughably worse state.

Uh, that's objectively wrong in regards to Islam bud. Do you seriously not know the demographics changes on your continent? You may want to read.

Things in the EU will not get any better, and the US will follow. One major factor is that the more non-muslims are exposed to muslims, the more they vote for right-wingers. I highly recommend this book:

You're being moderate. I appreciate it.

I agree; it is ridiculous.

>you see the same resentment, whether somebody has or hasn't illegally immigrated.

The resentment is far greater on the illegals. And there were some exaggerated concerns over Muslims coming to the U.S., partly because of the murders in Europe by Muslims and also the fascinating 2014 Sam Harris-Ben Afleck debate over Muslims. Harris made a pretty good anti-Muslim case. But IMO many conservatives in the past 2 years have realized the Muslims in the U.S. boogieman is much overstated.

>What I believe to be fundamentally at the core of this resentment is a fear of cultural and demographic change... white people... statistically begin to favor stricter immigration policies than before.

It is true, though some whites don't want to concede it. Some of the criticisms directly our way are wrong, e.g., to say we are primarily racists or xenophobic. Japanese fit that characterization. Many of us (and the number will grow) have no problem living in a multicultural society say 60% white/40% non-white. But if the demographic is reversed, it's a concern to many whites.

We have several assumptions: 1) Immigrants by and large will support further large scale immigration, and whatever other policies the initial group will tend to support will be further supported by the additional arrivals. 2) Most immigrants will embrace liberal platforms more than conservative. Not necessarily to a huge degree--many immigrants have conservative values like hard work--but the overall their support will tip Left, we suspect.

We cannot be sure of these assumptions, but at minimum, it's a situation of unforeseen outcomes, sort of similar to what's happening to Europe, but the situation is more extreme there. (Pretty good book: The Strange Death of Europe)

It's not clear to America what the benefit of all this increased immigration is. We conservatives already accept the reality that non-white immigrants will have children at much higher rates than whites. Though the U.S. is multicultural, it has a historical narrative with the founding fathers and all that. This is Greek to most immigrants, and it is clear that some people on the Left see no value in it either. More cultural diffusion is a concern for conservatives.
