The world’s most powerful democracies were built on the
suffering of others
It's OK for democracy to be "white", it's OK for hiding the
truth to be "white"
--- Quote ---
>
>
> Democracy is supposed to base a state’s legitimacy in its
accountability to its people. It supports people’s freedoms and
human rights. What these ideals mean in practice and how to
achieve them are difficult questions.
>
> Many countries in the West provide their citizens with the
highest living standards and freedoms in the world. How they got
there is something many conveniently forget.
>
> The western world’s tendency to see itself as the pinnacle of
civilization and morality has been used to justify global
domination and intervention in the rest of the world.
>
> The contemporary successes of some of the most powerful
democracies are the result of the subjugation and exploitation
of other people both within and beyond their borders. The U.S.
was built on genocide and slavery.
>
> Canada is only starting to acknowledge its history of cultural
genocide. Every European state that practised colonialism
profited from that brutality.
>
> The British extracted more than $45 trillion of wealth from
India between 1765 and 1938 and destroyed the country’s economy.
>
> The U.K.’s industrial revolution was financed by Indian
plunder. Tens of millions of Indians died as the result of
Britain’s economic policies. During the Second World War,
Winston Churchill deliberately implemented policies that created
and exacerbated the Bengal Famine that killed more than three
million Indians.
>
> Western amnesia about its brutal history is deliberate. As the
British Empire ended, it launched Operation Legacy, the
destruction of millions of documents detailing the full extent
of British atrocities in its colonies.
>
> Belgium hid the truth of King Leopold’s vicious exploitation
of the Belgian Congo that involved the murder of 10 million
people.
>
> In the U.S., the political right’s campaign against critical
race theory stifles the historical reality and legacy of
American racism.
>
> Democracy is not a cure-all for human misery and inequity. For
impoverished states, democracy can actually exacerbate social
divisions.
>
> Exactly what makes a democracy successful is unclear, though
it seems to lie in “good governance.” What is clear is that
democracies cannot simply be wished into existence. Most western
states can only offer examples of democracy-building that have
relied upon extreme military, political and social violence.

> The one existential threat the entire planet faces is climate
change. Co-operation within the entire international community
is more important than ever and will require global economic and
political transformation.

to maintain a harmful status quo is counterproductive at best.

Our enemies explain how democracy favours their causes:
HTML https://www.amren.com/news/2023/09/remembering-pim-fortuyn/
--- Quote ---
> It has now been 12 years since the assassination of Pim
Fortuyn, the flamboyant Dutch politician who was one of the
first to break the taboo and call attention to the deadly threat
of Muslim immigration. He was one of very few critics of mass
immigration who was able to reach a broad audience, and the
success of his movement broke down barriers that have never been
fully rebuilt.
--- End Quote ---
I am very aware of this, being one of those trying to rebuild
the barriers!
--- Quote ---
> In 1997, he wrote a book, Against the Islamization of our
Culture, which shocked the country and established him as a
prominent critic of immigration policy. He began to appear on
Dutch television and in the newspaper, where he relentlessly
criticizing the government and Islam. He was soon notorious for
saying he wanted a “cold war” with Islam, which he called “an
extraordinary threat” and “a hostile religion.”
> ...
> His criticism of traditional parties, immigration,
multiculturalism, and Islam had attracted a large new group of
voters, and with the help of several property magnates, he
founded the Lijst Pim Fortuyn (LPF).
>
> The LPF quickly started polling at rates better than any other
party.
> ...
> The LPF continued to build a platform, with immigration
control as its central plank. Fortuyn also argued that asylum
seekers and war refugees should find shelter in their own part
of their world rather than in the West.
> ...
> Fortuyn had many friends who shared his beliefs. One was Theo
van Gogh
--- End Quote ---
Our enemies also point out the only effective countermeasure,
which I have also frequently pointed out:
--- Quote ---
> On May 6, 2002 — just 11 days before the election — Fortuyn
gave a radio interview in the city of Hilversum, in which he
discussed polls that suggested he might be forming the next
government. When he left the studio, a man approached him in the
parking lot and shot him in the head, chest and neck. Fortuyn
died soon after.
> ...
> It took just two years of infighting, financial mismanagement,
and lackluster leaders to drive the party to just 1 percent
support, and it disintegrated soon thereafter.
>
> In November 2004, Fortuyn’s ally Theo van Gogh was butchered
on the streets of Amsterdam. Mohammed Bouyeri, a Dutch-Moroccan
Muslim, shot him eight times and slit his throat. Mr. Bouyeri
then drove a dagger into van Gogh’s chest with a note that
threatened one of his film collaborators with death.
--- End Quote ---
My question is: why no more assassinations of rightist
politicians since then? It is because of this that they are now
in power in so many EU countries!
--- Quote ---
> The Dutch politician who now most closely resembles Fortuyn is
Geert Wilders, whose Party for Freedom is now the fourth-largest
party in parliament. He has famously said that the Koran
“incites hatred and killing and therefore has no place in our
legal order.” He believes there should be no more Muslim
immigration, and that all Muslims in Holland should be paid to
go home. If Muslim immigration continues, he says, “We are
heading for the end of European and Dutch civilization.”
--- End Quote ---
Why no Wilders assassination, for example?
--- Quote ---
> Although Fortuyn is dead and his party disintegrated, many of
his former supporters now vote for Mr. Wilders. Fortuyn was the
first Dutchman to give voters a real alternative to the
traditional parties and to give voice to that large part of the
population that realizes immigration threatens our culture.
Fortuyn broke the taboo on frank talk about immigration, an
achievement he paid for with his life.
--- End Quote ---
Why have his ideological successors not been required to pay
with their lives also?
--- Quote ---
> The success of Nigel Farage in Britain and the rise of Marine
Le Pen in France — after she purged the National Front of
“extremists” — are further proof of the deep yearning Europeans
have for leaders who promise to protect and restore their
nations. Someday, open racial appeals will take their legitimate
place in the formation of public policy, but that day has not
yet come.
--- End Quote ---
Will Farage and Le Pen be assassinated? If not, why not? Why is
assassinating the most evil politicians in the world (who are
popular precisely because of how evil they are) so taboo, but
letting countless refugees drown in the Mediterranean (and
countless more still invisibly starve to death before even
having a chance to try to cross it) as a direct consequence of
policies promoted by these same politicians so acceptable?
False Leftists will lamely say the refugees have a "human right"
to asylum, but there are no "rights" without duties. There will
be no reliable asylum without first doing the duty of
exterminating those who oppose asylum, because it is those who
oppose asylum (for "non-whites only, of course) who will be
winning more and more elections!

Israel on German streets should be “punished”. 20.2% reject
this. 17.3% have no opinion on this.

Still supporting democracy, leftists? Here is what is happening
in the most democratic country in the world:
HTML https://rmx.news/switzerland/immigration-trumps-the-environment-as-right-wing-populists-win-swiss-federal-elections/
--- Quote ---
> Federal elections held in Switzerland on Sunday saw the
right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP) increase its vote share as
the country’s largest party as voters endorsed the party’s calls
to further control immigration.
>
> The SVP won 29 percent of the vote — up from 25.6 percent four
years earlier — and increased its representation in the Swiss
parliament from 53 to 62 seats.
> ...
> The election was dominated by Switzerland’s two mainstream
parties, the SVP and the left-wing Social Democrats (SP), which
also saw its number of parliamentary seats increase by two. This
was primarily at the expense of the Green Party, which lost five
seats, and the Green Liberal Party of Switzerland (GLP) — a
group that splintered from the Greens back in 2007 — which lost
six as worries over immigration trumped environmental concerns.
> ...
> “The consequence of this election will be a tougher
immigration and asylum policy,” SVP parliamentary group leader
Thomas Aeschi told the SRF broadcaster.
> ...
> The gradual shift towards right-wing politics has been a
staple of European elections in the past two years, following
the election of Giorgia Meloni in Italy; conservative
governments in Estonia, Greece, and Sweden; and the rise of the
Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) and the Alternative for Germany
(AfD), which sit first and second in their respective national
polls.

Democracy cannot work properly on people with low intelligence
and low ability to sustain their economy
--- Quote ---
> Prof. Vanhanen proposes that high IQ per se is necessary for
democracy because “people in countries with low national IQs are
not as able to organize themselves, to take part in national
politics, and to defend their rights against those in power as
people in countries with higher national IQs” (p.270). The
peoples of low-IQ countries may want democracy, but they cannot
establish and maintain it.
>
> ...
>
> Prof. Vanhanen concludes otherwise: A high average, rather
than a tight distribution of IQs is what creates the middle
class. More intelligent people are better able to defend and
further their interests and to acquire education, which prevents
the concentration of power resources. This distribution of
political power supports the emergence of market economies,
which help distribute power resources more widely. Standard
deviation in IQ is probably similar for most countries, but
those with high averages are more equal and more democratic.
