On Becoming a Minority in England

 

 On Becoming a Minority

Not Recommended, But Not to be Feared

The more I read and hear of the ‘hardliners’ calling for ‘total remigration’, the more contempt I have for them.

Not because I don’t agree with their concerns: The prospect of our children becoming minorities in our own country fills me with horror. The injustice and dangers of this development are off the scale.

Not because I disagree with ‘mass deportations’ in theory. If it could still be done, if I had a magic wand to wave, I would do it. The pain and unfairness to our erstwhile guests would be more than outweighed in my mind by the pain and unfairness which it would save our people - and, indeed, future generations of theirs.

The disruption and heartache caused by such measures would be far less than the problems which all of us - our current immigrant populations included - will face if the ‘multiracial experiment’, goes as badly wrong as it clearly could (especially given the number of groups out there with vested interests in it going wrong).

My problem with ‘remigration’ is not that it shouldn’t happen, but that it cannot happen. I will not repeat what I’ve said previously about this, other than to sum it up as:

Remigration is a policy which requires state power to enforce. While populists will exploit immigration as an issue to get elected, their subservience to capitalist and anti-white lobby groups means that they will never “send them back” in any serious numbers.

The era of Western populism is only just beginning, it will take perhaps twenty years for populist parties to come to power and hold it for long enough for electors to see that they have no answer to the demographic disasters engulfing our nations.

By the time that happens, there will not only be no serious possibility of building an electoral majority for radical remigration policies, but also no chance of the rapidly ageing and shrinking indigenous population being prepared to fight the civil war which ‘mass deportation’ efforts would kick off, let alone win it.

The remigration snake oil salesmen can hawk their policy on as many social media platforms as they want, and will probably find enough desperate and gullible fools to keep them in business for a while longer, but it’s not going to happen. Apart from a few thousand criminals and Islamists, no-one is getting ‘remigrated’ against their will.

So what does this mean? In short, the end of an era, but not the end of our people. Once we understand this, we can begin to plan and to work accordingly. This is not to ‘sell out’, or to ‘go soft’, it is to face facts. This must be our starting point, if we are to help our people get through what is coming.

Face the Storm

Refusal to face facts is a combination of stupidity, cowardice, laziness and grifting.

It’s stupid because pretending an incoming storm isn’t going to hit doesn’t stop the storm, it just makes you unprepared when it does, and thus more vulnerable to damage.

It’s cowardly, because a man is called upon to take action to try to protect his people from danger, rather than lull them into a false sense of security by telling them lies about painless solutions.

It’s lazy, because saying that there is an electoral solution coming at some stage in the future provides an excuse for not doing anything constructive in the here-and-now,

And it’s grifting, because the motivation of the key promoters of this nonsense is to make money from it; personal income which would be drastically reduced if they told the truth and set to work to encourage their followers to pour money and effort into building the organisations and structures our people need to exist, compete and thrive in the future which we all see coming.

This is why, while I have sympathy for those good but simple souls desperate enough to swallow the Remigration Snake Oil, I detest those who sell it to them.

New and Strange

It is certainly true that being the largest minorities in entire societies of minorities will be a new and very strange way of living for us, although it is by no means rare either historically or in other parts of the world at present.

Europeans were the minority in North America from the time of the very first settlements up until about 1820 - roughly speaking, then, for half of the entire history of the white man on the continent. We remained the minority in the Great Plains and the West until even more recently. Whites were the minority in the frontier lands for more than 250 years.

The conquest of America was not easy, but neither was it really carried out by a majority. Even once the white man totally dominated the eastern seaboard, the settlers in the frontier zones of the time were generally a minority.

The British ruled India for a similar length of time as a tiny minority but, apart from the crisis of the Mutiny, were never at risk of being exterminated. The European seizure of Africa, likewise, was the work of almost unbelievably small numbers. Rhodesia and South Africa both fared very well as white minority rule states until their destruction, disasters brought about not by African terrorism but by the hostility of the liberal West, the Communist East and - in the case of South Africa - subversion by an anti-white fifth column within.

White settlement and minority rule in Rhodesia began in the 19th century, became a political rebellion against Westminster liberalism in 1965 and continued until 1979. In 1976, there were 270,000 Rhodesians of European descent and six million Africans. the ratio of 22:1 may have been too large for the situation to be maintained in the long-term, but the fall of White Rhodesia was far less about demographic imbalance than it was about international pressure and betrayal.

The White Rhodesians were undefeated in battle. Had they been even 30% of the population, nothing would have stopped them.

There’s an even better example of successful resistance to demographic discomfort much close to home.

Protestants, most of them originally from England or Scotland, were the minority in Ireland from the Reformation right through until Partition in 1921. Over 350 years, they both oppressed and were repeatedly threatened with massacre and expulsion by the Catholic Irish majority. They retained their identity, culture and power throughout the whole of that time.

The Irish, meantime, resisted and ultimately overcame their powerlessness by developing their own parallel cultural and community organisations. After each of their risings was defeated militarily, acceptance of that reality did not constitute “surrender”, it merely marked the beginning of a new phase of resistance. In the long run, the establishment of the Gaelic Athletics Association did more to advance Irish identity and freedom than all the doomed schemes to encourage peasants armed with clubs and pikes to take on the might of the British Army.

Hurling - one of the sports deliberately created by Irish nationalists as a counter to what they called ‘garrison games’ imported by the Brits. The Gaelic Athletics Association has played a central role not only in Irish resistance to foreign rule but also in sustaining a vibrant national identity.

After the creation of Northern Ireland, it was the turn of the Catholics to be the minority. Did they sit down and tell each other than this meant that they could do nothing? That - to name the fear implicit or explicit in current nationalist discourse on demographics - “all minorities end up being exterminated like the Boers”?

Absolutely not, while a tiny minority took up arms and turned to terrorism, the vast majority of Catholics just got on with having babies, going to church, manning the various cultural, sporting and community associations which kept their community together and campaigning for their rights.

From 2021 onwards, it as been the Protestant loyalists who are the minority in Northern Ireland. Anyone tempted to believe the alarmist claim that “once you are in the minority you’re on the slippery slope to subjection and extermination” needs to spend a couple of days in the Province.

Yes, the loyalists are now once again in the minority, but if you try to tell any loyal Ulsterman that this makes them the potential victims of genocide, they would laugh at you. If you want to know why, just go along to any one of the band parades that are held throughout the spring and summer of every year, in every Protestant area.

You will see thousands of uniformed young men, marching with precision that puts most British army regiments to shame.

Drumderg is part of Keady, a small town of some 3,000 people, of whom a mere 10% are Protestants. Isolated in the notorious IRA ‘Bandit Country’ of South Armagh, most of these young men are from families who have lost at least one close member to IRA terrorism and attempted ethnic cleansing.

But they’re still there, on their own land and in their own enclaves, and no amount of either talk or force from hardline Fenian fantasists is going to ‘remigrate’ them to Scotland, England, or even to the loyalist heartland an hour’s drive to the north east.

Mono-Ethnicity - Safer, But Rare

For reasons of history and geography, the nations of Europe, including Britain, have developed regarding mono-ethnicity as the norm. History confirms that it is certainly a much safer way to run a society than struggling to build something stable out of mixed-up populations of different ethnicities and religions. But, overall, it is the exception rather than the rule when it comes to human settlement.

While multi-ethnic societies are unwelcome, abnormal and often threatening to peoples like the English, Germans, Swedes and so on, people in countries as different as India, the Middle East, Malaysia and the Russian Federation have lived with them for centuries.

Further, when malicious foreigners or ideological or religious supremacists don’t interfere to stir the pot, they generally muddle along reasonably well together. The risk of such destabilisation, and the relative ease with which it can be done, are strong arguments against the wanton transformation of a stable, monocultural nation into a “vibrant, diverse, multicultural society”.

Message Nick Griffin

But we no longer have the luxury of living in nations which BBC bigwigs describe as “hideously white”. We don’t have any choice about the sort of society in which we have to live, but we do have a choice about how we deal with it.

The Remigration con-men would have you stick your head in the sand for the next two or three decades, even though that position leaves your arse distinctly vulnerable to anyone who takes a fancy to it.

My counsel is to stand up straight and face the future. As you’ll find if you come to Northern Ireland, being a minority is by no means the end of the world. In fact, it can give you and your community a sense of belonging and cohesion which you may well find beats being part of a complacent, ultra-individualistic, materialist majority.

Your parents were consumers in a land of lonely consumers. Your children will be part of a tribe. You can hark back to the past, and earn their contempt. Or you can work for the future, and help secure their place in it.
