A majority will be about history, but a few will be about politics, art, and other random topics:

@IGMansfield No, but it changes the nature of the society you live in, which has huge consequences for you and everyone else.

[The Matthew Principle @MattPrinciple]

@TroyKranendonk @AtticTruther @lefineder Shakespeare? Dickens? Tolstoy?

As for historians, there are so many great ones it’s impossible to know where to begin. Name a topic and I’ll recommend a historian.

I weep to contemplate the society we once had and lost:

[Melissa Chen @MsMelChen]

Post-war England did not need court orders for basic civility.

Lee Kuan Yew, studying in Britain in the late 1940s, described a scarred but orderly country - bomb sites cleared with bricks neatly stacked, little gardens planted among the ruins, and an honor system newspaper stand at Piccadilly Circus where people took a paper and left the money unattended.

In his memoirs, he noted the understated pride and discipline of a people who had just been through years of war and privation. The British students and professionals he met were reserved but impeccably mannered. There was no need for constant supervision because society functioned on high trust and shared expectations.

That is the England that inspired him, so he set out to model it through using a strong rule of law to achieve cleanliness, public order, and competence. All the while, he rejected the UK policies that he knew were liabilities - the expanding welfare state that discouraged enterprise and erode social norms.

Singapore kept the discipline and added stricter enforcement, low tolerance for disorder, and an insistence on assimilation and standards. The result is a city-state with far lower rates of street crime and anti-social behavior than contemporary Britain, despite denser living conditions.

Meanwhile, through a series of self-cucking decisions that ultimately culminated in mass migration from lower-trust or incompatible cultures, Britain lost its manners. LKY later visited Britain again and observed the results directly - loss of trust, coarseness, urban decay, drugs, muggings on the Tube, empty churches alongside packed mosques, and a multi-racial society that had lost its cohesion. The gulf between the 1940s Britain he admired and the 1990s–2000s Britain he criticized was painfully obvious.

The whole idea of "Respect Orders" is so laughable. It's the stuff that Monty Python would have had a field day with. The truth is, it's really a public confession that persistent anti-social behavior is now so entrenched that the state is reduced to issuing civil orders as a bandaid that carries the threat of two years’ jail time.

Also what use is treating just the symptom (persistent public nuisance) when nothing is being done to stop migration or integrate immigrants? When a population that was once famous for queuing without signs and leaving belongings unattended now requires judicial threats to stop people from making life miserable for everyone else, I think you can safely say that society is dead.

We all also know that these "Respect Orders" will not be applied evenly. They will function as a flexible tool for suppressing the "wrong" kind of public irritation while the right kind of disruption continues largely unchecked.

A group of residents quietly holding signs outside a proposed asylum site can be portrayed as intimidating vulnerable people. A young YouTuber filming the exterior of a migrant hotel, speaking to local residents about crime spikes or public costs, or simply documenting litter and disorder will be far more vulnerable to a "Respect Order" than a Just Stop Oil activist who has repeatedly blocked motorways.

A parent filming a school protest over curriculum materials can be framed as causing distress to staff. A local campaigner challenging the siting of a traveller encampment, or documenting street harassment statistics that cut against official narratives, can be restricted from entire town centres. Meanwhile, repeated low-level violence or intimidation linked to certain imported cultural conflicts is more often logged as “community tensions” requiring de-escalation rather than restriction orders and mandatory treatment.

Anti-social behaviour is defined as conduct “likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.” You understand how vague that is. Like your fat ass could be distressing to me in the public domain, no? So what will happen is that the threshold will be raise or lowered according to the identity of the complainant and the politics of the target.

Respect is earned. It shouldn't be legislated.

If you have to legislate it then Britain needs to do the FULL LEE KUAN YEW and bring down the hammer on rule of law equally. It has to be strict and indifferent to identity or woke sensibilities. Laws against drugs, disorder, littering, or public nuisance were enforced hard and across the board.

@strda221 @lefineder The material just isn’t that interesting. Works of history or literature would be much more valuable.

About 10% of white women marry non-whites, though most of these will be Hispanics rather than blacks.

Moreover, canada isn’t adopting an American-style racial system. America gets Hispanics, who assimilate relatively well. Canada, in contrast, is getting masses of villagers from the Punjab and Cameroon. These people don’t assimilate well and I don’t think they ever will

[The Matthew Principle @MattPrinciple]

The long-term racial outlook in Canada is mostly likely a series of castes: whites, blacks, Indians, Filipinos, etc., will mostly socialize, marry, and reproduce with people of their own race. The small number of mixed offspring will mostly die out or be assimilated into whichever parental race is lower-status. Neighbourhoods will be segregated.

[The Matthew Principle @MattPrinciple]

@___IBelieve___ @david_parker I doubt that. White women are very selective about their mating and very few of them marry outside of their race.

[The Matthew Principle @MattPrinciple]

@AtticTruther @lefineder Perhaps in the narrow sphere of philosophy. But outside of this sphere a ton of great literature has been written over the last 500 years.

[The Matthew Principle @MattPrinciple]

@hinihihink @lefineder Let’s hope so.

[The Matthew Principle @MattPrinciple]

@SkyKnight68 @lefineder Oh you’re right. But still the worst sort of library that could possibly have been preserved.

@katie_campione Books aren’t presented in a gender binary. The gender binary naturally arises from the actual choices of boys and girls and then we simply observe and recognize it.

A civil war situation will arise without remigration.

Don’t let yourself get blackpilled, especially not regarding Europe.
When millions arrive without consent, millions can also leave without their consent.

There are times of scarcity ahead. Bread and circuses will run out. The coming conflicts over distribution will be ethno-religious, not ideological or socialist.

All of this points to a certain form of remigration scenario. We need to prepare everything right now to make it as effective, deep, and long-lasting as possible.

There is no third option: either remigration and the reintegration of society, or a total breakdown of the rule of law, mutual trust, the free market, and democracy.

It is important to understand that remigration will only happen at the last minute. The reason is a systematic error of democracy.

(European style) Democracy cannot do big reforms without a huge crisis and a formative shock event. In mass democracy, a comfortable lie will always prevail over an uncomfortable truth until the pain and the threat of chaos are so great that the people are ready for the harsh truth.

I call it the cliffhanger effect. Only when things get so bad that the comfortable lie becomes completely unbelievable can a critical majority and a coalition for the uncomfortable truth be formed -thus it always has to appear at the last minute.

This moment will come for most Western European countries.
We need to prepare for it right now, metapolitically and politically. We need to have a network of think tanks, alternative media, counterculture, campaign organizations, action groups, super PACs, funds, incubators: the greatest amount of organization for the greatest number of human and financial resources ready.

Our moment will come.
Remigration is inevitable.
Don’t get blackpilled, but organize and prepare.

It’s remarkable how the “far right”—the racialists and Nordicists of a century ago—used to exalt India, regarding it as one of the great fonts of religion and philosophy and a land of fellow Aryans—and yet now all of this is forgotten and it is execrated as little more than a cesspool of filth and corruption.

Overpopulation, which is a phenomenon of the last century, probably accounts for 75% of this shift.

@ericvideos91 No, he is not. In the long run racial transformation will be massively more consequential.
