The Strange Death of Europe, by Douglas Murray. 2018

Death of Europe is Not Strange At All: Bestseller Fails to “Connect the Dots” to the Agenda of Globalism and Cultural Marxism

Here’s the agenda: Nations are to have their ethnic-religious cores weakened by massive immigration (by force if necessary) and, if their patriotic and religious traditions can additionally be discredited, so much the better. The eventual outcome is the union of once-nation provinces under one world government. Author Douglas Murray, an associate Editor of SPECTATOR, presents many of the facts that go into this globalist and cultural Marxist agenda, but fails to put two and two together.

SOCIALIST PARADISE: WHITE EUROPEANS CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE CHILDREN

Douglas Murray debunks the myth that white Europeans don’t want children and that Third World immigrants are an inevitable necessity to fill the gap. For example, Murray cites statistics (p. 46) that show that only 8 % of British women want no children, and 4% want only one. In contrast, 55% want two children, and 19% want at least four.

So why are so few native European children being born? Because white Europeans cannot afford them! Such are the wonders of socialism. The author elaborates, “The evidence from most countries, including the United Kingdom, is that although the population is below replacement levels, this is not because people do not want to have children. A middle- or average-income couple in most European countries worries about having even just one child and how they will afford that child, let alone three or four.” (pp. 46-47).

Murray describes a corrective policy, “In Poland, for instance, the Law and Justice Party has in recent years raised child benefit in order to raise the native birth rate and diminish any reliance on immigration.” (pp. 47-48). Bravo, Poles!

THIRD-WORLD WELFARE BABY BIRTHS IN EUROPE

The foregoing does not mean that few babies are being born in Europe. Douglas Murray writes, “In fact, only three types of people now have three children or more–the very rich, the poor and recent immigrants. Among immigrants–especially those who have come from third-world countries–any provision for their children paid for the European welfare state will be better than anything they could have expected in their country of origin.” (p. 47).

THE COMPASSION RACKET

Calls for unrestricted immigration typically emphasize and manipulate emotions. They cite, for example, the plight of refugees. However, Murray quips, “For instance, the six Gulf Cooperation countries comprising Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Oman had granted asylum to a grand total of zero Syrian refugees in 2016. Their attitude towards refugees from Eritrea, Nigeria, Bangladesh and Pakistan was not even as generous as that.” (p. 158).

THE SYSTEMATIC INSTILLING OF GUILT. THE NOW WELL-TRAINED WHITE EUROPEANS AND THEIR DESCENDANTS

In Polish, this is called the PEDAGOGIKA WSTYDU (Pedagogy of Shame). Murray describes it quite well, “Today’ s Europeans expect themselves, long before anybody else raises it, to bear specific historical guilt that comprises not only war guilt and Holocaust guilt, but a whole gamut of preceding guilts. These include, though are no means limited to, the abiding guilt for colonialism and racism. Today’s Australian schoolchildren are taught that whatever its present virtues, their nation was founded on genocide and theft.” (pp. 162-163). [So are American children. I know. I have been teaching for a long time, and see it every day in the classroom]. Notice also the subtle diffusion of guilt for the Holocaust away from where it belongs–the Germans–and unto all white Europeans.

The results of this are exactly as intended. Murray remarks, “In America, as in Australia, such a constant drumbeat of guilt changes a people’s natural feelings about their own past. It transforms feelings of patriotism into shame or at the very least into deeply mixed emotions, and troubling effects result from this.” (pp. 168-169). No kidding. That is exactly what the cultural Marxists and globalists want!

ANGELA MERKEL AND GEORGE SOROS DEFIED BY THOSE NAUGHTY WHITE EUROPEANS

Murray tells it like it is, “The European Commission and Merkel were trying to persuade countries to sign up to a quota system that was already inadequate for dealing with the numbers which had already arrived. Governments that were refusing to do the bidding of Merkel and the European Commission were also reflecting the will of their people. A solid two-thirds of Hungarians polled during this period felt that their government was doing the right thing in refusing to agree to quota numbers issued from Brussels or Berlin. And yet one of Hungary’s most famous sons disagreed. The billionaire financier George Soros spent considerable sums of money during 2015 on pressure groups and institutions making the case for open borders and free movement of migrants into and around Europe.” (p. 184).

THE HIGHEST VIRTUE NOWADAYS: HEDONISTIC INDIVIDUALISM

The eventual goal of the cultural Marxists and the globalists is a world of easy-to-govern peoples that have no ideals and who believe in nothing–except their selfish hedonism. Although Murray does not put it this way, he realizes that this is the outcome of the loss of religion and patriotism in western European nations. He thus sagely comments, “It does seem, living in any Western European society today, that this particular world-view has caught on. Not only the entertainment industries but also the information industries speak to populations intent only on a fairly shallow kind of personal pleasure.” (p. 222).

UPDATE (November 2017, and again and again thereafter). The vicious falsehoods by the leftmedia, said about Poland’s March for Independence (“Nazis”, “fascists”), and by Guy Verhofstadt, are part of the war on nations’ patriotic traditions.
