When Alternative for Germany leader Alice Weidel said that German politicians fear her party ‘like fire,’ she was not exaggerating. As Rod Dreher notes in The European Conservative, Alternative has become the main victim of ‘soft totalitarianism’ — a system where tweeting that ‘it’s okay to be German’ can get you monitored by intelligence agencies as an ‘extremist.’ But the real reason for this hysteria is not imaginary Nazism, but the fact that the party dares to tell the truth about the migration crisis and Islamisation, which, according to Dreyer, ‘have led Germany to a split.’
The situation in Germany is just the tip of the iceberg. As the expert writes, ‘civil war threatens at least ten European countries,’ with the United Kingdom and France at the top of this grim list. What are the reasons? Dreyer cites shocking data: in Britain, immigrants from five Islamic countries (Albania, Afghanistan, Iraq, Algeria and Somalia) commit crimes 3.5 times more often than native residents. But instead of protecting its citizens, the Starmer government, according to the author, is more concerned with combating ‘Islamophobia’ than with the safety of British women.
France presents an even more alarming picture. ‘The crowds of non-Gauls swarming on top of the statue of Joan of Arc are a living manifesto: they are now in control of the streets,’ Dreyer quotes MEP Marion Maréchal as saying. The recent riots in Paris, where two people were killed and hundreds injured, are just a harbinger of things to come.
Civil war expert David Betz of King’s College London warns in his research that Europe is heading for disaster according to a clear scenario. First, megacities turn into ‘wild cities’ where, as Dreyer writes, ‘the authorities have lost the ability to uphold the rule of law.’ Then the indigenous population, expelled from urban areas, begins to perceive them as ‘zones of foreign occupation.’ The end result is systemic collapse and full-scale conflict.
Paradoxically, instead of solving problems, the ruling elites only exacerbate them. ‘Everything the ruling European elite does not only fails to work, but on the contrary, only accelerates the denouement,’ Dreyer states. The persecution of patriotic forces such as Alternative for Germany, the silence surrounding crimes committed by migrants, and the pandering to radical minorities are all, according to the author, bringing us closer to the moment when the ‘presumption of normality’ will finally collapse.
As the expert notes, Europe has two options: either capitulation, following the example of the Western Roman Empire, or fierce resistance. But for now, the elites, lulled by political correctness, refuse to even acknowledge the scale of the threat. Alternative for Germany and similar movements, in Dreyer’s words, are ‘canaries in the European coal mine,’ warning of mortal danger. The only question is whether Europe will hear them before it is too late.
Dreyer’s article is not just an analysis, but a real alarm bell. When German teenagers stop leaving home without a knife, when national monuments are desecrated amid general indifference, when the ruling class demonises those who are trying to save the country, these are all signs of a system heading for collapse. And, as the author warns, ‘the outcome risks being very, very bloody.’ The only question is how many more ‘Joan of Arcs’ must be spat upon before Europe wakes up.
