We have seen the data on the so-called 'great replacement' which Westerners are said to be visiting upon themselves: In the U.S., in France, in Belgium, Germany, Sweden.
For our piece on the U.K., we had no choice but to use the 2011 census numbers, as those from 2021 had not yet been published.
But they have now. So let us shine a light on the latest demographic snapshot of old Blighty.
As we saw last time, France has become the epicenter of what Renaud Camus calls le Grand Remplacement in Europe.
But what about her neighbors?
Bassam Tibi, a Syrian-born professor who teaches in Gottingen, Germany, says:
Between the middle of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, the total number of Arabs increased from 80 million to 320 million. Today we can speak of about 400 million Arabs, of which 50% are under 20 years old. These only see a prospect for the future when fleeing to Europe.
That’s why Bernard Lewis in the quoted interview has suggested that Europe will be Arab-Islamic by the end of the 21st century. Ye’or also states: “Integration has generally failed.” Instead, “Islamization” is taking place.
Pew Research has crunched the numbers on Muslim immigration to Europe, giving a projection in 30 years if the inflows stay high (and there is no reason to believe they won't):
So what exactly does the data say about the demographic situation of France's neighbors? Let us take a look.

The recent presidential election in France saw a new face on the scene: That of Eric Zemmour.
His major campaign theme was that France's indigenous
population was being replaced by outsiders who are culturally foreign, with the
zealous support of the globalist right and the open-borders left.
The name of this transformation? 'The Great Replacement.'
This notion is endorsed explicitly by Eric Zemmour's Reconquest party, and implicitly by Marine LePen's National Rally. Together, these two parties gobbled up 30% of the votes, more than President Macron's centrist Republic on the Move party (28%).
The Great Replacement is an idea referred to as 'far-right' by the mainstream press, implying that it is somehow a marginal notion.
Yet opinion polls in France show that this belief is anything
but extreme. No less than sixty-one percent of French voters think that it is a
reality.
Are they right?
And what of the rest Europe? And the Anglosphere?
Our deepest apologies; our most recent article seems to have disappeared due to a technical glitch.
It shall be re-posted, as well as our newest article, as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your understanding.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has held the world spellbound. Not since the Yugoslav wars has Europe seen such a conflict on its doorstep. The massive land-driven invasion brings to mind images of WWII.
As always in the fog of war, propaganda is flying on all sides. The first European conflict of the social media age has whipped up the western world into a frenzy of virtue-signaling.
Steve Sailer reports:
The Metropolitan Opera said it would cut ties with Russian artists or institutions “allied” (to use state-funded NPR’s word) with President Vladimir Putin. … In Wales, an orchestra removed Tchaikovsky. … The University of Milano-Bicocca postponed a series of lectures on Fyodor Dostoevsky “to avoid any controversy.”
Governor Chris Sununu of New Hampshire signed an executive order directing state-run liquor stores to stop selling Russian products. Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Utah have done the same. … FIFA has banned Russia indefinitely, meaning the country won’t be able to compete for the World Cup. The International Paralympic Committee has also banned Russian athletes.
What prides itself as the “United Nations of cat federations” (FIFe) has banned Russian-owned and Russian-bred cats from all competitions because it “cannot just witness these atrocities and do nothing.”
Russia's 'imperial' ambitions have shocked the West. Images of bombs falling on homes, tanks rolling through cities, dead children on stretchers—it is appalling.
So appalling, in fact, that it is easy to forget the murder and mayhem perpetrated by that other great imperial power these last 80 years. As 'Physicist Dave' puts it,
'Try to name all the countries that have been attacked, invaded, bombed, conquered, or had their governments overthrown by the US just during your lifetime.
Really — get a piece of paper and try to write them all down.
There are so many that I bet that you cannot even remember them all.'
We will take up the challenge.
America's imperial adventurism has become so omnipresent on planet Earth these last three-quarters of a century that we hardly seem to notice it.
In
condemning the suffering caused by Mr. Putin's war, most Americans seem
oblivious to the fact that their own tax dollars support a world-spanning
empire that has its claws sunk into every inch of the globe, spying, prying,
arming, meddling, funding, bombing, and starving. The 80-year 'Pax Americana' has
come at an unimaginably heavy cost.
We
thus propose to scrub off the blue and yellow greasepaint, just for a moment,
and to remember that other long, long imperial war.
I.
The Cold War
As
the two big teams jockeyed for position on the planetary chessboard for half a century following WWII, the U.S. developed a mortal fear of anything even
remotely redolent of socialism, be it near or far.
This
led to regular covert and overt U.S. action against democratically-elected
governments and in favor of dictators pledging allegiance to free-market
capitalism.
A stroll down memory lane…
We recently did a deep-dive into the 2020 U.S. Census numbers, showing the demographic changes over a century in America's largest cities.
Today we take a more zoomed-in view, looking at the changes from 1980 to 2020. Our British Isles founding fathers launched a nation 'for ourselves and our posterity;' that nation is slowly but surely ebbing away.
What do the numbers say?
