The Coming Civil War in Europe

Just in case you did not have enough to worry about, European nations, our proud allies in the struggle against Russian autocracy, are on the verge of civil wars.

Out-of-control migration has ripped apart the social fabric in many of these countries. Muslim migrants are the tip of the spear. The real problem lies with those native leaders who have refused to encourage Muslim migrants from assimilating. 


The great leaders of Europe have allowed their countries to be overrun by people who are engaged in an effort to transform the culture, to Islamify it. In many cases these migrants have succeeded.


Rod Dreher explains the situation in once-Great Britain:


Two months ago, the English podcast host Louise Perry hosted David Betz, a professor at King’s College, London, and an expert in civil wars. The topic? “The Coming British Civil War.” Betz argues that the United Kingdom now has all the traditional hallmarks of a society on the verge of violent civil conflict. He mentions the collapse of faith in British institutions, the two-tier justice system, Islamic radicalization, and the polarization wrought by official multiculturalism, among other factors. 


More than a few British citizens are bailing on what they see as a sinking ship:


Nearly every educated English person I know under the age of forty is seeking to emigrate, having lost hope that their country has the wherewithal to pull out of its cultural and economic crisis. In Oxford recently, an American student told me, “If the ruling class here openly hated the British people, it’s hard to know what they would be doing differently.”


Dare we say, yet again, that the problem is multiculturalism. The problem lies in the fact that British subjects do not expect their Muslim migrant population to assimilate, to embrace British culture. The ruling class that allows this to happen is evidently not especially enamoured of its own culture. 


It isn’t just Britain. France has been overrun by Muslim migrants, the kind who established No-Go zones in the Paris suburbs, places where civil authorities like the police and the fire department dare not enter.


Dreher continues:


Spending a week in France last month, I recalled the scandalous open letter that 20 retired French generals and 1,000 active duty service members released in 2021, warning that their country was headed to civil war unless the government acted firmly against Islamic radicals in the suburbs, and turned away from divisive policies driven by so-called “anti-racism.”


This should all sound familiar. The problem provoked J. D. Vance’s recent speech at the Munich security conference.


J.D. Vance angered many European elites in his Munich speech when he warned them that the greatest security threats their countries face are within—and that their attempt to deny them by squelching free speech was only making matters worse. This—the danger not of war with other nations, but of civil war—is precisely what he was talking about. 


As I said, multiculturalism is the problem. So said David Betz:


“Multiculturalism has drained our nation’s social capital. It’s encouraged factionalism and polarization, both of which are up massively,” Betz says. “The belief of people in pre-political loyalty has been shattered by the triumph of identity politics in our society. So as a result of which, we see that nativist sentiments are increasingly manifested in a narrative of downgrading or displacement that is one of the most powerful causes of civil conflict.”


“Downgrading” and “displacement” are technical terms used in civil war scholarship to describe the feeling among native peoples that they are losing ground in their own country to rival groups. This is what the French writer Renaud Camus means by his concept of the Great Replacement. 


It reminds us of the conflict going on in parts of the Middle East. The Western democracy, that would be Israel, has largely outcompeted its Muslim neighbor nations. The per capita GDP in Israel is around $55,000. In Jordan, a Palestinian state, the GDP is around $4500. 


As I have remarked, Israel’s poor neighbors feel shamed by Israeli success. They do not want to compete to improve themselves. They want to destroy what Israel has built.


One wonders why this would not be the motivation of the Muslim migrants who have entered Western Europe en masse. They are not there to assimilate. They are there to take over, to undermine Western civilization and to build a new Islamist culture in the ruins.
