MIGRATION: Death by Diversity

In 1965 Ayn Rand wrote,

“The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees… by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other – until one day when they are suddenly declared to be the country’s official ideology.”

One of the great uncontested absurdities, which has become the official ideology of today, is “diversity.”

In his June 18, 2017 Wall Street Journal article Europe’s Elites Seem Determined to Commit Suicide by ‘Diversity’ Douglass Murray writes:

From the 2000s legal and illegal immigration picked up [in Europe]. Boats regularly set out from Turkey and North Africa to enter Europe illegally. Syrians fleeing civil war pushed into the Continent, soon joined by people from across sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, the Middle East and Far East.

Today the great migration is off the front pages. Yet it goes on. On an average weekend nearly 10,000 people arrive on Italian reception islands alone. Where do they go? What do they expect? And what do we expect of them?

To find the answer to these and other questions it is necessary to ask deeper questions. Why did Europe decide it could take in the poor and dispossessed of the world? Why did we decide that anybody in the world fleeing war, or just seeking a better life, could come to Europe and call it home?

The reasons lie partly in our history, not least in the overwhelming German guilt, which has spread across the Continent and affected even our cultural cousins in America and Australia. Egged on by those who wish us ill, we have fallen for the idea that we are uniquely guilty, uniquely to be punished, and uniquely in need of having our societies changed as a result.

Former U.S. Army Chief-of-Staff General George W. Casey, Jr. after the Fort Hood slaughter on November 5th, 2009 said that this was a case of “work place violence” and that the real victim of the shooting were not the soldiers murdered by Nadal Hassan – rather it was “diversity.”

Ayn Rand warned, “There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.”

Diversity lies squarely in the middle.
