Europe is a mess, it is collapsing quicker that the Democrat Party. In the U.S. Biden tried to jail Donald Trump. In France, Macron has jailed his chief opponent and denied her the right to run against him. England is in even worse shape.
“Dreher’s essay opens by telling readers about a hugely popular podcast entitled “The Coming British Civil War.” On it, David Betz, a King’s College, London, professor who is an expert on civil wars, opines that the UK is on the verge of a civil war. Writes Dreher:
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.
The UK is not the only European nation that is being driven to the breaking point by the stresses that the ruling elites have placed upon their ancient cultures. The same is true in France, where the ruling class has conveniently decided to lock away Marine Le Pen, the one person who is currently standing athwart the French political system yelling “Stop.”
The Globalists have turned total Fascist to stay in power. What is happening in the U.S. is being turned around—but the use of runaway courts is trying to stop freedom and common sense government. The next twelve months will show if freedom and democracy can survive on Earth.
The Gates of Vienna have fallen

I’ve had sitting on my computer for a few days an essay by Rod Dreher, an American conservative who now lives in Hungary, the only country in Europe making a stand for traditional values and refusing to accept unlimited Islamic immigration. From his perch in Hungary, Dreher has written about his conversations with ordinary Europeans, who believe that civil war is imminent, a war that will see those who share European values arrayed against those who have embraced leftism and Islam.

The UK is not the only European nation that is being driven to the breaking point by the stresses that the ruling elites have placed upon their ancient cultures. The same is true in France, where the ruling class has conveniently decided to lock away Marine Le Pen, the one person who is currently standing athwart the French political system yelling “Stop.”
Meanwhile, in Germany, the AfD party, which opposes unlimited Muslim immigration, is being blackballed, blacklisted, and sidelined. European elites, just like America’s Democrats, believe that “democracy” applies only to votes for their people and policies.
Dreher says that his private conversations reveal that ordinary people agree with Betz:
In a number of private conversations with ordinary French people—this was before the Le Pen verdict—I brought up the Betz interview (none had heard about it), and asked them if they foresaw civil war coming to France. Nearly all of them said yes. They said so with an unnerving sense of calm, as if they accepted it as a matter of course.
Looking at the European landscape, Dreher analogizes the situation to what happened in Eastern Europe after the Soviet Union’s collapse. These were not, he says, formal armed civil wars, with armies facing off against each other. (In other words, not like the American Civil War.) Instead,
These were often spontaneous, undirected spasms of orgiastic violence—exactly what Prof. Betz says civil war in the UK and in Europe would be like. He also says that given mass media, especially social media, a civil war sparking off in one country would likely trigger them almost instantly in others.
Dreher has a lot more to say on the subject (all wise, informed, and depressing), so you might want to check it out.
As for me, I don’t think there’ll even be a scrambling guerrilla war in Europe. I say that for a few reasons:
1. The European masses have been enervated by socialism, which, unlike religion, is the true opiate of the people. They are so utterly dependent on the government that they cannot rebel against it. Indeed, if you look at the utter passivity / helplessness of ordinary Brits in the face of the mass Muslim rape of their children, you have a microcosm of what the once warlike Europeans have become.
2. What’s going on in Europe has lasted long enough that it is the young people’s normal. They have been brainwashed from the cradle to accept multiculturalism, sexual abnormalities, and open borders as good and inevitable things. While their parents may rebel, the last couple of generations, like good Nazi youth who turned their parents in to the Gestapo, think their parents are wrong and even dangerous. And keep in mind that, thanks to the war on families, the old European lineage is dying out anyway, as native-born women have stopped having children.
3. The Europeans are disarmed. Their government took their weapons away a long time ago. They’re barely allowed to have sporks. And while immigrants haven’t felt constrained by those laws and have maintained access to weapons, the native Europeans smugly handed over their weapons of self-defense, secure in their moral superiority.
4. The civil war, such as it might have been, is already over, and the enemy is already in country. The civil war was fought at the ballot box when leftists became more and more extreme, and the population, hooked on that good socialist opium, kept voting for them. Their numbers are declining, and their values are already broken.
The last gasp was when Angela Merkel opened Europe’s doors to Islam. The ordinary people, cowed and bullied, acquiesced. Indeed, in Germany, they felt that letting in Jew killers was their punishment for killing Jews. (The Germans have always had a twist to the psyches, hence the Holocaust in the first place.)
5. The Barbarians are already in the gate. (Not at the gate, but inside the gate.) Nothing more clearly illustrates this than what’s happened in Vienna. As European history buffs know, in 1683, forces from the Holy Roman Empire and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth beat back the seemingly unbeatable Ottoman Empire, which was besieging Vienna from the East. Europe was saved from becoming one more of the Muslim conquests that began when Mohamed’s forces burst out of the Arabian desert a thousand years before.
But beginning in the 1960s, Europeans started inviting in their former enemies. The British took in the Saudis and Pakistanis, the French invited in the Algerians and Moroccans, and the Germans opened their doors to the Turks. The same was true across Europe.
And of course, in 2015, Angela Merkel invited in everyone. Assimilation has not gone well because Muslims don’t believe in assimilation; they have a religious mandate for conquest and, unlike Europeans, they have babies. Lots and lots of babies. By contrast, look at Spain, a one-time defender of Europe against Islam and a nation that had lots of babies, which has effectively stopped reproducing.
These factors led to an inevitable outcome in Vienna, once the stopping point for Islam:
For the first time, Muslim students are the largest religious group in Vienna’s schools, underlining the incredible demographic transformation taking place in the Austrian city. The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) is now raising the alarm.
Muslim students now account for 41.2 percent of all students, while Christian students fell to 34.5 percent. The trend is only growing, and is accompanied by rising problems, including violence in schools, anti-Semitism, and contempt for women.
Europe, the cradle of Western civilization, is gone. Worse, it didn’t even die from apathy. It actively committed suicide. And no, there won’t be a civil war that can save it. Enoch Powell may not have been politically correct when he gave his Rivers of Blood speech, but he was prescient:
