Pretend all you like, play as many
pedantic word games redefining X as Y as you wish, but eventually, sooner or
later, reality is going to impose itself on even the
most delusional perspective
Yet the biggest aspect of crisis, even though it is under-reported,
is in countries close to where 22.5 million have fled imploding societies, the
biggest such tide of displacement since WW 2. The numbers are staggering.
Turkey has 3.5 million Syrians refugees, tiny Lebanon a million; 1.5 million
Afghans are camped in Pakistan; more than a million Sudanese are cooling their
heels in Uganda. In South America one million Venezuelans fleeing
Bolivarian socialism have lodged in Colombia. In Central America multitudes of
"families and unaccompanied children" daily flee their own
crime-ridden societies for the US.
Current homicide rates are among the highest ever recorded in Central America. Several cities, including San Salvador, Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula, are among the 10 most dangerous in the world. The most visible evidence of violence is the high rate of brutal homicides, but other human rights abuses are on the rise, including the recruitment of children into gangs, extortion and sexual violence.
From 2011 to 2016, the number of people from the Northern Triangle who have sought refuge in surrounding countries has increased by 2,249 percent. The majority fleeing are women and children. In 2016, 388,000 people fled the region – more continued to flee in 2017. The rapid growth of those forced from their homes is quickly outstripping available resources, leaving many vulnerable children, women and men without physical and legal protection.
The migration crisis is an indictment of the global world order. It also underscores its biggest weakness: a grandly named system ironically incapable of either preventing the collapse of its constituents or managing the displacement of tens of millions....
The fact that borders have become an issue at all after decades of assurance the circle could be squared is perhaps the most significant fact of all. For years the bipartisan consensus was to politely pretend it could all be worked out. As the New York Times wrote, "for more than a decade ... seasonal spikes in unauthorized border crossings had bedeviled American presidents in both political parties, prompting them to cast about for increasingly aggressive ways to discourage migrants from making the trek. Yet for George W. Bush and Barack Obama, the idea of crying children torn from their parents’ arms was simply too inhumane — and too politically perilous — to embrace as policy."
So great was elite prestige that fiction was sustained until suddenly it couldn't any longer. The realization, when it came, was brutal. The rapidity with which the status quo of "open borders" has been overtaken by the "populist crisis" suggests that, like the financial crisis of 2008, a bubble has burst. It went broke gradually then all of a sudden. The globalization and multiculturalism that were supposed to have delivered prosperity and security have not paid off. This failure has started a run on political capital of elites which has yet to stop.

This
is what the cucks and cons simply don't grasp. I don't say "the Alt-Right
is inevitable" because I am trying to persuade them of anything. I am
simply calling my shot because I know that most of them are going to be
espousing Alt-Right positions and more as time goes on.
The nationalists are already beginning to come to power in Europe, and this is only the start of what will be a long process of much-needed continent-wide deunification.
