| Mark Steyn: Celebrate Lack of Diversity |
| 2024-03-19 |
| by Mark Steyn [SteynOnline] So an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a pub, and discover that everyone in there is from the Indian sub-continent. Except for the token Welshman. Who's black. What we used to call the British Isles contain two sovereign states and, setting aside the Isle of Man and the Crown Dependencies, five principal political jurisdictions: In London, the Prime Minister is a Hindu whose dad is a Punjabi from British East Africa. His opposite number in Dublin, the Taoiseach (a word Joe Biden just about managed to say this weekend), likewise has a Hindu father, who emigrated from Bombay to England. The First Minister of Scotland also has a Punjabi pa, but this time Muslim. In the next Scottish election, he'll be battling it out with the Leader of the Opposition, who is another Punjabi Muslim. The largest city in these islands is London, whose mayor is a Muslim with parents from Pakistan. Celebrate lack of diversity! Is it possible to rise to the top in Anglo-Celtic politics without being from the Indian sub-continent? Why, yes: The new First Minister of Wales was born in Zambia. He is being hailed as the first black leader of a European country. Read the rest at the link |

| #5 Cultural Entropy, sterile and reasonable when viewed from afar, but intimate, tragic and infuriating when viewed from the evening news. More proof of the passing of Western Civilization and its natal epicenter in Europe. The Dark Ages approach, first there, then here! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Course_of_Empire_(paintings) |

| #4 Here in America, it's white guilt that is exploited to get all these types installed. In the UK it's colonial guilt. In both cases, it's people who may not even be descendants of anyone who did anything "wrong" who are insisting we all wear a hair shirt. |

| #3 Britain has been subject to invasions for thousands of years. Various tribes and nations crossed the channel before the Brits got organized and rode rough shod over the isles...Angles, Saxons, Celts, Romans, Vikings and Normans. Pardon me if I left any out. Hardly anyone still remembers the Druids. When the English finally got organized and learned how to build ships they got better at resisting the invasions. Then they started invading and colonizing other countries. Now some of those chickens are coming home to roost. It's no surprise if some of the reverse colonists integrate better than others. |

| #2 The whole concept of multiple states is to allow for diversity, what works, what doesn't. It's how nature works very slowly (less asteroids) to select successful adaptations. |

| #1 Western European countries commiting a national suicide. Western European politicians trying to drag the whole World - or, at least, the "white" parts of it with them. |
