As England hurtles towards disintegration, Europe accompanies it

/

And there’s this: 1,200 male “asylum seekers” being deposited on Piddington, England, pop. 350. Ironically, here’s the story, presented by a non-traditional Englishman who is appalled by what’s happening to his country:

David Strom: Europe Is Sacrificing Its Citizens for an Ideology

…. I have pretty much concluded that most Western countries have had disastrous immigration policies, and much of the disaster centers around opening the floodgates to refugees and non-Western immigrants.

My conclusion isn't based on racism, although I will be accused of that no matter what I say. So be it. It's 2026, and accusations of racism are now so common that they have almost become noise — the equivalent of inarticulate grunts from people unhappy with what you say. 

The problem with arguments for generous refugee policies that seem to classify everybody who wants to move to Europe or America as an asylum seeker is that the "asylees" are turning Western countries into third-world countries. 

Of course, not all refugees are created equal. For instance, the influx of Ukrainians into Western Europe and some Eastern European countries hasn't been a huge problem. What has been is asylum seekers from the "MENA" countries. MENA stands for Middle East and North Africa, and you can toss pretty much every Muslim country into that category. 

When I saw Nate's X post, I wasn't surprised by anything but the scale of the increase in sexual violence, not the direction it went. And when I did a bit of digging, I found that the comparison between Poland and France is not an outlier, but representative of the split between countries that have imported MENA "asylum seekers" and those in Europe that haven't. Countries like Poland and Hungary have accepted financial penalties from the EU rather than take in those MENA refugees, and it's obvious that it was worth every penny. 

According to Eurostat, the differences between countries that allowed large numbers of MENA asylees in and those that didn't are really stark, even when you account for changes in how sexual violence crimes are counted. 

A 100 percent to 300 percent increase in sexual crimes is hardly a statistical artifact or an easy thing to explain away, especially given that we know that in some of these countries there is a growing underreporting problem due to a sense that the police will do nothing about it. 

You can't argue that any of this is a surprise or that policymakers couldn't have guessed that this would happen. Of course they could have, because they were warned before it happened and people have been screaming at the top of their lungs about it for years. Even calling it an open secret is wrong: there really wasn't any secret about it. Policymakers simply denied it was happening and swept it under the rug because reality didn't match their hopes and dreams. 

The transnational elite didn't like what reality was dishing out, so they put an Instagram filter over reality and called what was on the plate gourmet instead of a big pile of poison. 

It's racist to point out reality; don't you know? 

Except...it's not racism. It's reality, and countries of origin, ideology, and religious values aren't race. Nobody would say that it is racist to say that importing Nazis or communists is a bad idea, despite the fact that a huge chunk of them are white. I wish we were better about excluding people with horrible ideas and behaviors, whatever their race. 

Approximate recent immigrant or foreign-born shares:

  • Sweden, Germany, Austria, Belgium: high teens to about 20 percent, with large Middle East / North Africa / Afghanistan / Horn of Africa components after 2015.

  • France: immigrants roughly 12–17 percent depending on definition; Maghreb plus rising sub-Saharan Africa; plus a large second generation.

  • Poland: under 1 percent in 2008, now about 5–7 percent, overwhelmingly Ukrainian and Belarusian after 2022.

  • Hungary: still a low non-European share; asylum grants near zero after 2015.

  • Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria: very low non-European stocks.

And so on. Nothing new here, but the decline of Europe and our former colonial master do give a good picture of where we’re heading ourselves.
