Americanization of French ethnic relations continues apace

 A quick note to say that we'll be posting our next piece before the end of July. In the meantime...

Riots in Nanterre, Paris, France, 29 June 2023

...Tuesday morning: As is the case dozens of times a day every day in France, a car full of young Arab delinquents is stopped by the cops for driving erratically. When asked for his license (he's too young for one) and insurance  (he doesn't have it) for the 75,000€ car he's driving (his single mom is on welfare), this 17-year-old decides, as he's done many times before, to flee. 

Before he can lead a wild goose chase and run over a hapless pedestrian (which happens every day in France) or try to flee the cops (which happens three times an HOUR in France, yes you read that right) by running them over, the cop shoots at the car, accidentally hits the teen, and he dies at the scene.

Usually when a foreign delinquent in a car tries to flee a cop in France (which, as noted, happens once every 20 minutes, that is 25,000 times a year), it's the cop who gets dragged / run over / paralyzed / killed.  From just the last few months,  à titre d'exemple :

Mickael, policeman turned paraplegic after being dragged by car fleeing arrest

Saint-Denis: Motorbike driver fleeing traffic stop runs over, seriously injures policeman

Vienne: Driver crashes through police checkpoint, sends police commander to hospital

Cannes: Two policemen sent to E.R. after being hit by motorcyclist fleeing traffic stop

Villejuif: Urban rodeo broken up by cops, one of whom is plowed into by fleeing biker

Castres: To avoid traffic stop, he hits cop with motorbike, sending him to E.R.

Lyon: To escape traffic stop at tollbooth, man crashes into cop car, two policemen injured

Melun: Motorbike drives on sidewalk, cop attempts to stop him, gets run over

Cannes: Driver of Nissan tries to run over police three times, the latter open fire

Narbonne: Two teens plow into six policeman while fleeing a traffic stop in stolen car

Béziers: Car thief attempts to plow into police, who are forced to open fire

Metz: Malian in BMW hits a policewoman while fleeing, then crashes into parked car

Nemours: Policeman severely injured after being dragged several meters by fleeing motorbike

Villecresnes: Policeman run over by fleeing motorcyclist during urban rodeo

Nantes: Tunisian illegal alien steals motorbike, attempts to run over policeman

Thonon-les-Bains: Fleeing a police stop, he embarks on a police chase and plows into cops

Toulouse: Driver flees police stop, tries to run over cops, who end up opening fire

So France's millions-strong youth delinquent class was incensed to see that once, just once, things didn't go their way. 

In response, they are currently burning the entire country of France to the ground.

Riot map of France, June 29th (non-exhaustive)

Friday night, French authorities reported 1350 cars set on fire, 266 buildings burned or vandalized (of which 26 were city halls and 24 schools), and 2560 fires set in the streets.

Leftists are wringing their hands about the evil police, Nahel's welfare mom (no dad in sight) is sobbing that he was a good boy who didn't do nuffin',...

Queen of the parade: Nahel's mom honored for having raised a delinquent

...and soccer superstar Kylian Mpabbé (the French equivalent of Lebron James) has decried the loss of this young 'angel.'

(The 17-year-old angel, of course, already had 15 criminal charges including drug dealing, receiving stolen goods, resisting arrest, driving with stolen plates, driving without license or insurance...)

Nahel in happier times

Sound familiar?

Like in the U.S., the French imported an ethnically alien class to do the jobs they didn't want to do. Like in the U.S., they've proved unable or unwilling to send them back where they came from once their usefulness is outlived. And like in the U.S., this underclass has become actively hostile to the host population and today commits the lion's share of the country's violent crime. Including a pathological aversion to being pulled over by the cops.

Unlike in the U.S., however, France's Arab and African imports live high on the hog thanks to one of the most staggeringly generous welfare states in the world. Their housing is free, their health care is free, their bills are subsidized, they're showered daily with largesse from the French taxpayers whose cars they're currently lighting on fire.

So the notion that an 'underprivileged' immigrant class is pillaging Apple stores because they're starving to death is, to put it lightly, du grand n'importe quoi.

France in flames

So France has its new George Floyd, and the Americanization of racial mores in France continues apace. More on this in the days to come. 

Stay tuned for our latest piece coming soon.

Sweden: The Immigration About-face

Immigration skeptics win big

We have chronicled Western Europe’s slow ethno-suicide for many years now (12 to be exact). The uncontested leader in the Great Replacement Olympics has long been Sweden.

A reminder of the flavor of modern Swedish multiculturalism:

Western European politicians and bureaucrats tend to be postmodern multiculturalists – in Sweden, fanatically so. They feel a contempt for their own civilization and they regard this contempt as a mark of sophistication and virtue. 

They are especially fond of cultures that share their own contempt for the West, and hence there is no culture for which they show more deference than that of Islam. 

No, not The Onion 

Svenne Tvaerskaegg on his home country:

Every major event and holiday in Sweden — Christmas, Easter and Midsummer — is greeted with mocking newspaper articles and television programs informing Swedes that these traditional celebrations aren’t Swedish at all but foreign imports, and the cultureless Swedes don’t really have anything they can call their own. 

According to Fredrik Reinfeldt, ex-prime minister, “The original Swedish identity was just barbarism, and since then all progress has come from the outside.”

Sweden’s ‘National Day'  program, 2011 (yes, really) 

Alice Bah Kuhnke, the daughter of an immigrant from Gambia, recently appointed the Pakistani immigrant Qaisar Mahmood as chief of Sweden’s Cultural Heritage Archive. Mahmood has said he has never studied archeology or culture. [...] 

The soil of Sweden is full of Viking artifacts, and building projects have often provided a rich source of objects for museums, but ... In the new, modern and multicultural Sweden, Viking amulets, bracelets and other historical objects are not considered worth preserving, so they are sent to metal reclamation centers and melted down as scrap.

But in September the country did an abrupt about-face, turning its back on decades of open-borderism by voting en masse for a nationalist-right party for the first time in modern history.

What has happened? And is this the canary in the coal mine for her neighbors?

 

 

Great Britain, great replacement? Census 2021

Parliament Square, London, October 2015

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.

Who's Replacing Whom? Part II: Belgium, U.K., Germany, Sweden

Saint Peter's Cathedral, Cologne, Germany

 

As we saw last time, France has become the epicenter of what Renaud Camus calls le Grand Remplacement in Europe.

Data source

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. 

Who's Replacing Whom? Western Europe: France

[This piece was originally published on June 30th 2022, but was erased due to a technical glitch. Happily, the Wayback Machine has saved our bacon. Here it is again.]

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.'

Socialist, homosexual... And 'Great Replacement' theorist: Renaud Camus

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%).

Image source

 

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? 

 

 

The Other Imperial War

 

Image source

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.

Polish tanks in Cieszyn, Czechoslovakia

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.

 

Berlin, Paris, Sydney

 

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.”

The great vodka pour-out

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.”

 

 Corporate world flees Russia

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.

U.S. patrols the Pacific

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…

 

 

Unvetted Afghans: A Bitter Harvest

Kabul Airport, August 16, 2021

America has finally bit the bullet and left Afghanistan, the ‘graveyard of empires’, after 20 years of failed nation-building. The airport in Kabul has been swarmed with Afghans trying to flee the country ahead of the Taliban’s hardline Islamist takeover.

 

Thousands of Afghan nationals have helped the occupier these last 20 years and thus have targets on their backs. Collaborators have in all times and places suffered the same fate: public humiliation, prison, or death.

French women shaved for collaborating, WWII

 

We are told we must immediately airlift these innocents to the U.S., as well as their families, and while we’re at it, any Afghan who’d like to hop on a military jet for a one-way trip through our golden door.

From the New York Times: 

There is no time for bureaucracy. The U.S. is now planning to take Afghans who are awaiting visas to third countries or U.S. military bases, but according to Varghese, it’s not clear what criteria will be used for vetting them. They should be as liberal as possible. We should not be consigning people to execution for lack of paperwork.

…  And, of course, we should bring as many as possible here. Canada, which is about one-ninth the size of the United States, has announced its intention to take more than 20,000 fleeing Afghans. There is no way to justify America accepting fewer on a per capita basis; 180,000 should be the absolute floor.

 

Ms. Goldberg seems to have forgotten we’ve been here before.

 

In 2015, as ISIS marched through Syria and Iraq sending millions fleeing, Angela Merkel threw open the doors of Europe. She promised no vetting: The Million Muslim March was on. 

From Hungary into Austria, September 2015

 

The entire global south was told it was ‘open bar’ in Europe, and they rolled in from Morocco to Uganda to Bangladesh. (We chronicled it in detail at the time.)

Africans take to the Med

Afghanistan, caught in a slow-boil civil war between the U.S.’s puppet government and the Taliban, also sent their share of desperate refugees ‘looking for a better life.’ Floating over on dinghies, with no vetting whatsoever, these young men poured into every corner of Western Europe, who welcomed them with open arms.

 

How did they thank their rescuers? We’re glad you asked.

 

They thanked them by committing a dizzying array of crimes; against the old, the young, the well-armed, the defenseless, from theft to rape to battery to murder, from teeming cities to tiny village hamlets.

The round-up below is just the tip of the iceberg. These are articles we have stumbled upon and saved in the years since Merkel’s ‘Million Muslim March’ into Europe began. A targeted search would no doubt turn up many hundreds more.

Are there any lessons for U.S. decision-makers here?

 

Tour d’horizon…

 

Hunting Asians for Sport: A Trans-Atlantic Tale

 

Oakland: 91-year-old attacked for fun

In an age more and more prone to mass hysterias, a new one is sweeping the U.S.: That East Asian immigrants are being violently attacked en masse by white supremacists.

From John Derbyshire:

The message we’re getting here from the Gods of the Market Place is, that because the sinister, evil Donald Trump told us that Covid-19 was a Chinese virus, his followers—who are, of course, all gap-toothed white supremacist persecutors of nonwhites—have been attacking anyone who looks Asian: sucker-punching them, shoving them under subway trains, and so on.

... But then, just as I was rolling my eyes and scoffing, along came a Great White Defendant, who for a moment looked as if he might rescue the Narrative. This was 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long, a white man from Georgia, who shot nine people at three massage parlors in Atlanta Tuesday night. Eight of the nine died, the ninth is in hospital, seriously injured but stable.

A Southern Baptist who watched porn all day and was in therapy for ‘sex addiction,’ Long had just been kicked out of his parents’ house. This caused him to snap, buy a pistol and go kill the ‘source of his temptation'--workers at the Asian sex trafficking parlors he'd frequented.

 

Steve Sailer has been following this moral panic closely. He quotes the New York Times’ “particularly shameless work of fake news”:

Confronting Violence Against Asians, Biden Says That ‘We Cannot Be Complicit’

The vice president offered little doubt about what she believed and whom she blamed for stoking the violence, alluding to — without directly naming — former President Donald J. Trump, who repeatedly blamed the pandemic on what he called the “China virus.”

“For the last year, we’ve had people in positions of incredible power scapegoating Asian-Americans,” she said. “People with the biggest pulpits spreading this kind of hate.”

…Anti-Asian attacks have soared during the past year, part of a pattern that Mr. Biden called “wrong” and “un-American” last week during a speech at the White House.

What, you may wonder, does a whore-monger murdering the Korean objects of his lust have to do with Donald Trump pointing out that the Wuhan Flu is Chinese? As it turns out, Trump’s words have pushed scores of Americans—mainly black ones, whom we know are his biggest voting bloc--over the edge into violence. On the West Coast:

In January, a local television station showed footage of a young man sprinting toward, then violently shoving to the ground, a man identified as Vicha Ratanapakdee, 84, who had been out for a morning walk in the Anza Vista neighborhood of San Francisco. He later died.

Another video shows a 91-year-old man in Oakland’s Chinatown neighborhood being pushed facedown into the sidewalk cement from behind in an apparently unprovoked attack.

 On the East Coast: 

Asian Woman Leaving Asian-Black Solidarity Rally Gets Punched (by a Black Man)

Later Sunday on the Lower East Side, police sources say a 54-year-old woman was smashed in the face with a metal pipe by a man who allegedly shouted an anti-Asian slur.

… Police are also looking for another man in connection to a similar crime. They say he yelled and punched a 66-year-old Asian man in the face on Allen Street on the Lower East Side on Saturday at around 9 a.m.

... Police arrested 36-year-old Marc Mathieu over the weekend, charging him with assault as a hate crime for a subway attack Friday afternoon. He allegedly punched a 68-year-old Asian man on the 1 train.

Blacks violently attacking Asians, which is an everyday occurrence in this country (as is Blacks attacking Whites, Hispanics, and each other), is suddenly being painted as Trump-inspired bigotry.

 

But it's tricky to make surveillance footage lie. 

The victims:

 The perpetrators:

But these are just anecdotes, after all. Surely the data show that Whites are indeed mowing down Asians left, right, and center?

 

From Andrew Sullivan, via Steve Sailer:     

But what about hate crimes specifically? In general, the group disproportionately most likely to commit hate crimes in the US are African-Americans. At 13% of the population, African Americans commit 24% of hate crimes.

Data Source

But hate specifically against Asian-Americans in the era of Trump and Covid? … The best data I’ve found for 2020, the salient period for this discussion, are provisional data on complaints and arrests for hate crimes against Asians in New York City, one of two cities which seem to have been most affected. They record 20 such arrests in 2020. Of those 20 offenders, 11 were Black, 7 Hispanic, and 2 White. 

Data source

As far as Black-on-Asian versus Asian-on-Black crime:

In 2018’s Table 14, the BJS broke out the black vs. Asian offending rates. According to inadequate sample sizes, blacks aggressed against Asians 50,000 times vs. a little over 500 times that Asians attacked blacks, for an 89 to 1 racial ratio of total incidents. Because there are almost twice as many blacks as Asians, on a per capita footing that would be 46 to 1.

 

The data unequivocally show, then, that Asians are being massively victimized by Blacks. And yet certain members of the community are in complete denial of this fact:

When Ariel Hsu saw a graphic video last week of an Asian American senior citizen in San Francisco being pushed to the ground and the growing social media response around it, she said she was concerned — about both the victim and the outcry. 

Hsu, a chapter leader at the National Asian American Pacific American Women’s Forum, said that given that the suspect in the incident is Black, many in the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, including herself, were concerned about anti-Black sentiment that appeared to be present in some of the online calls for justice.

 

For organizers like Hsu, seeing the actor Daniel Dae Kim offer a $25,000 reward for information on the suspect felt like a “bounty,” she said, and the increased calls for more police presence seemed like a backwards step.

 

“If addressing violence against Asian Americans entails furthering stereotypes about Black criminality and the policies associated with those stereotypes … we’ve misdiagnosed the problem,” said Janelle Wong, a professor of Asian American studies at the University of Maryland.

 

Is it denial, or a conscious effort to ape the current anti-white zeitgeist?

 

 

Hard to say. But this complex dynamic of Black violence, Asian victims, and White scapegoats… does it have parallels anywhere else in the world?

 

In fact, yes. There is a strikingly similar phenomenon at work in France. An indigenous white majority, a melanated predator class (mainly Arab, a bit black), and an East Asian minority of easy targets. Join us for a tour d'horizon...
