I recently read “Submission” by Michel Houellebecq, a very compelling and believable vision of the “end game” for “European countries like France who have become ‘bodies without a soul – zombies’”.

For those who don’t want to read the whole book, here’s a detailed and well done synopsis/review of the book.

It’s unsettling, but unless the west regains its “soul” and its fight, it may end up being our future... and as testimony to how low we’ve sunk, it may be better than the pervasive nihilism of today.

Here’s a snippet from the review...

“For Houellebecq, history is the story of the rise and fall of civilisations. The only lasting civilisations, as he sees it, rest on a solid foundation of shared religious values. Once those values disintegrate, a civilisation slides into inexorable decline, and becomes susceptible to what, in “Atomised” (1998), he called a ‘metaphysical mutation’, a sudden and decisive transformation of its values. These metaphysical mutations are the engine of history. Politics and economics – the stuff materialists get worked up about – are of secondary importance.”

When the core of the tree is rotten, it doesn’t matter how sturdy the trunk looks; it will eventually fall.

It is interesting how Muslims in Europe can be scattered and yet still manage to maintain a cohesive identity capable of making them act decisively against the natives, yet Europeans of even the same ethnic origin within the same country cannot seem to unite against the invaders.

This to me speaks much of it being over for Europe. Sun Tzu talked about the outcome of a battle being determined before the battle starts. I suspect this is the case in the battle for Europe.

Time will tell.

But as evidence for my version of coming events I ask...

When was the last time there were normal people standing up to leftist rioters, in the streets, and meeting violence with violence, intimidation with intimidation.

We are breaking out of that insane idiocy of the “don’t confront, be polite at all costs” form of suicidally incompetent “conservatism” that’s been shoved down our throats by the Chosen Ones of TV Talking Headness for decades.

The pushback is getting strong enough in Europe that the EU elites have had to put in place laws criminalizing even talking about pushback. Those laws haven’t even made a dent in the issue, though. People still talk. People still post their anger and building rage to youtube and comment boards.

Personally, I don’t like Europe or Europeans. I see them all as, at best, parasites and at worst as sniveling backstabbers playing as allies. So, watching Europe burn, and it’s people chased down in the streets and slaughtered, isn’t a grief worthy thing to me. But, I still see them rising up, sooner rather than later, and putting paid to this muslim invasion issue in a brutal and bloody manner.

Not because I want to see it but because the signs are there to see.
