One of the reasons our rulers are cracking down on speech is that even the most tepid debate will lead to uncomfortable questions. Just look at a public discussion of immigration. You cannot get into the discussion unless you agree that immigration is always good. The reason for that is no one in charge ever wants to address the one question that is never asked, which is, how many? How many immigrants should we take? Should Germany take a million Arabs or ten million? How about 100 million?
There are two reasons to avoid the numbers question. If you agree that one million is a reasonable cap for Germany, the implication is that there is a level where you have too many Muslims or Africans. Then the debate is why is one million Arabs too many, but 75 million Germans not enough? In other words, you can quickly move from a place where questioning immigration is taboo to a debate about how and why it is necessary to limit the number of migrants. The last question, of course, is the nuclear question.
The other reason to avoid talking about numbers is it would reveal a truth that our betters would prefer remain concealed. If the goal is to move to a post-national world where borders are meaningless, then talking numbers would give the game away. The people who dream of a borderless world have to admit the numbers don’t matter to them. The right number of migrants for Germany is simply the number who physically make it to Germany, because “Germany” is just an historical fiction anyway,
Muzzling debate in America is possible because the people in charge are smart enough, at least for now, to silence anyone who has questions. Most Americans see immigration debated on TV and assume the “two sides” are both in favor of unlimited immigration. Only bigots and racists question the sanctity of immigration and dare challenge the edicts of the Giant Green Statue. But, that’s not the case everywhere as we see in this story from the UN.
In a 23-page report by the U.N. Human Rights Council, Trump is requested to set free all foreign nationals who are currently awaiting immigration hearings in the United States,Reuters reported.
“The Working Group is of the view that all administrative detention, in particular of immigrants in an irregular situation, should be in accordance with international human rights law; and that such detention is to be a measure of last resort, necessary and proportionate and be not punitive in nature, and that alternatives to detention are to be sought whenever possible,” the panel said.
What you see here is the core issue between Poland and the EU over accepting migrants into Poland. It’s not about whether Poland or the EU gets to determine how many and what type of migrant Poland must take. It’s whether anyone can set any limits at all. The UN is making clear that no country can determine who may enter its lands for settlement. All the blather in that report about human rights is just filler. The issue here is whether countries should exist and the UN is making clear they think the future is post-national.
Part of what you see with the open borders people is their belief that their unique situation can scale up to the stars. The UN is a heavily guarded playpen for the rich brats of the world’s political elite. These brats look around and see a rainbow of colors getting along like old chums. They jump from there to assuming that this can be done everywhere, not realizing the global elite can only get along when there are men with guns keeping the peace. They live in a fortified compound and they want that for everyone.
Another aspect to this is simply spite. Ruling elites have always, at some level, been at odds with those over whom they rule. The “burden of leadership” means giving up time and energy to the maintenance of order and the perpetuation of society. It’s only natural to resent it a little. What we have today is a ruling elite that hates the majority of the people, namely the white people. Notice the UN is not making open borders arguments for Africa or China. Open borders only applies to white countries, never anywhere else.
Christopher Caldwell famously pointed out that “One moves swiftly and imperceptibly from a world in which affirmative action can’t be ended because its beneficiaries are too weak to a world in which it can’t be ended because its beneficiaries are too strong.” The same thing is happening with whites in their own lands. At first, the number of non-whites was too small to make a strong case against immigration. Now, the numbers are too large to do anything about it. The West is about to be over run.
Of course, the question sensible whites ask is how exactly the borderless world is going to function. The West exists because whites buy into the system. As America careens into a dystopian nightmare where feral mobs pull down the symbols of the nation, how much longer will those Constitution loving, patriotic Americans, who keep the country running, buy into the system? In Europe, hardly anyone is willing to fight for their country when asked by pollsters. Why would they? Their countries no longer exist.
In a borderless world, why would anyone have any loyalty to anyone or anything outside their tribe? How could there even be a state? In theory, the custodial state solves this by having corporations police the people, but as we see with the high tech firms, tribalism begins to rot them out from the inside. The cost of propping up cash furnaces like Twitter eventually becomes too much to bear, even for the true believers. Large scale social institutions can only exist in a world of large scale social trust.
The cucks can mew about identity politics, but tribalism is the inevitable politics of multiculturalism. In fact, in a multi-ethnic, multicultural world, there can only be identity politics. Everyone is forced to root for their own team exclusively. The only way to prevent identity politics is to prevent multiculturalism and that can only happen in a world where each people has their own nation and well-defined and enforced borders. The alternative is the no state solution where it is every tribe for themselves, or else this happens.

The escalation of removal of Confederate statues and plaques after Charlottesville is stunning. Almost like our betters were just waiting for the right moment, or maybe the rally was a complete set up from the beginning.
Serious and open discussion all over the mainstream media outlets of not just Confederate statues, but the Founding Fathers as well. open discussion is a tell that they are waiting for the next manufactured “event” by the right to rip everything down.
Or maybe they won’t even wait for that.
It feels like it is operating from a playbook, doesn’t it? They also seem to be calibrating their activities and messaging to zero in on Trump’s weak point, which is to take a logical, if controversial stand, and then encourage him to double down on it. He could have ignored the press questioning a couple of days ago, but his nature would not allow it. If he is operating by the seat of his pants, which it really looks like he is doing, he needs to be much quicker to recalibrate his messaging on the fly. I am not sure… Read more »
“…or this happens.”
Judas Preist. The first time Mugabe’s rule was contested, not so much happened.
The second time, again, not much.
The third time, a tourist saw many people getting rides in wheelbarrows. He laughed and called out, “How much do they pay you for a ride like that?”
The man pushing the wheelbarrow said back: “Nothing. These are our friends, our relatives. Their arms and legs have been broken, and they cannot walk.”
Mugabe is a logical man. If he opens up prosecution for those who killed white farmers, he opens it up for his entire government. Same reason the left can’t tolerate free speech. They tell us we can’t use slippery slope arguments against what they do, but they damn well recognize the nose under the camel’s tent when it comes to defending their own turf.
What you wrote describes the mentality of the university, too: “Part of what you see with the open borders people is their belief that their unique situation can scale up to the stars.

Obama is the Robert Mugabe of American presidents and is still working toward the Zimbabwean vision. The police stand down and allow the lefties to attack the righties without consequence at the behest of liberal governors via liberal mayors.
Why flood the country with immigrants who will never assimilate and freely state their intention to kill us? Our extinction is clearly part of the battle plan.
Has anyone else noticed that this blog is getting extremely slow to load? As if some entity is deliberately slowing down the process?
Traffic is way up. I’ll probably have to upgrade the backend at some point in the near future. The price of fame…
that’s just all the new readers at the NSA, causing the site to lag.
Of course the UN supports a borderless world. Their bureaucrats and functionaries are the direct beneficiaries of such an outcome. Never, ever underestimate the power of self-interest in these things.
This presentation by Roy Beck has been floating arouind YouTube for the last few years. It’s very relevant to this article:

the behavior of our current political class make the actions taken during the french revolution make a lot more sense. the best thing the US military could do, is nuke all the major American cities.
do we have out own Franco or Pinochet, planning his move?
Just as a hypothetical, I wonder would what would be the result if D.C., NYC, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Boston, and maybe Philadelphia and Atlanta were vaporized by aliens. What would arise to fill the vacuum?
America 2.0
Pithy, but not terribly descriptive. I’m thinking more along the lines of would the U.S. break apart into 5-6 regional super-states? How many working people would become destitute overnight because the federal government is their actual employer though they work for private entities (healthcare comes to mind). Or would local economies actually improve if the current national distribution model was eradicated by trade borders between the new regional entities?
Looks like another murder by vehicle in Barcelona, at least 13 dead.
I’m sure the national hissyfits will be in full force by the likes of Kimmel, Colbert and the usual suspects. We have to get to the bottom of this hatred and stop it now.
Oh wait, NO THEY WON’T. Wrong group.
I need to add to my liberal tears jar.
Things won’t become very interesting until a few white males give up on their own kind and coordinate a world war on all premenopausal white females. Then little white SJ rats in high schools, colleges, HR departments, and elsewhere will learn the hard way how foolish they and their predecessors have been.
It’s not difficult to predict the sort of propaganda that will be encountered. For example:
STOP WHITE SUPREMACY
STOP YOUNG WHITE FEMALES
From Eric Hoffer’s True Believer:
“The radical and the reactionary loath the present.” Thus, by regarding the modern world as vile and worthless, mass movements inspire a perpetual battle against the present. Now they are trying to erase the past which reminds them of what they are not or could ever be.
This doesn’t explain everything but a large part of what is going on is just hatred for their pathetic lives. The rich and influential, well your take on them is spot on.
What the elites fear most is an intelligent, motivated, and armed underclass; because they will be extremely difficult to subjugate. Even a tyrannical government cannot implement overt firearm confiscation without tipping their hand, so the next best thing is to dilute the population with needy sheeple and gum up the works. The false-flag operations have now begun. Phase II is to instigate blue-on-green conflict and decimation. These guys are playing chess; we need to be thinking several moves ahead too.
What do these people actually WANT? I could understand — and even sorta respect, in a sick way — the UN bootlick who simply said “I’ve got mine, and I’m gonna keep mine; fuck you, honky.” At least he’s honest, with a rational (though vile) motive. These other ones, though, actively prefer degradation and filth, even though it will swallow them, too (and not even close to last). There’s the Sistine Chapel, and there’s a whole group of folks who can’t be bothered to open the toilet before taking a dump…and a whole bunch of very rich, very white people,… Read more »
The very rich, very white people see no threat from the seat-shitters. They don’t have the resources, intelligence, or social organization to threaten them. Their only threat is to multiply and ultimately overrun them. But an armed, organized, and aware underclass (see TomA’s comment above) is a huge threat to them. Perversely, the seat-shitters are a tool to be used against the underclass.
The left loves mankind, it’s people they can’t stand. Supporting the seat-shitters allows them to intellectually cover both halves of that old chestnut.
Feel free to educate me if you must 🙂 but didn’t the elites of the late 19th Century do exactly this with the Middle East (the remnants of the Ottoman Empire) and then have to go back in and impose arbitrary “national borders” on the warring tribes? I’ve read that Iraq, for example, was essentially a shape drawn around three tribes that didn’t get along, who were then told that they were now part of the new nation and had to get along. :-/ So the powerful idiots would be re-enacting the same disaster, only on Europe and America.
I think the mistake our side too often makes is to assume the other side is thinking this stuff through. They are not thinking at all. It is pure emotion. They are in a full blown purity spiral now. It how they went from controlling the narrative on Sunday to scaring the hell out of middle America by Wednesday. It’s the same with open borders. First immigration became a totem and then the race was one to see who could stake out the most extreme position. Regardless, the 21st century will make the 20th look like a time of peace… Read more »
The leftists and globalists are running into a problem, which is that the man in the street just won’t quite play along. So their new strategy is to divide and conquer. Force people to take sides, and turn those sides against each other. Last weekend’s set-up job was masterful, and Trump fell into the trap. DJT is now positioning himself on one side of the issue instead of being a disinterested and disgusted person caught in the middle. Big mistake, whether or not he is actually correct in his statements. The globalists got what they wanted out of last weekend,… Read more »
Read Art. VII of the Constitution. The one clause there pretends to state, before “Establishment”, the law about how to convert A7 and the other articles into law. The illicit presupposition could not be more obvious, and we should count its presence there as more evidence that modern republicanism is a great, rickety house constructed with frauds. Other frauds of our republicanism include superstition about a “Creator” and some egalitarian pabulum entangled with it in the Declaration of Independence.
I know I sound like a broken record, but the implication that the “other side” isn’t thinking this stuff through is not true at the top level. Admittedly, their foot soldiers don’t, but the (((elite))) doesn’t want or need them to. No, the upper echelons of the “other side” have their strategy based on taking advantage of human nature and have it down to a mathematically based science. You don’t gain control of finance, government, education, media, and religion without a plan. Nothing that happens in politics happens by accident, as FDR pointed out. This does not assume omnipotence or… Read more »
The other side may not be thinking things through. But it’s a good bet that every time they do this, someone who *is* thinking manages to make money from the results.
So instead of being just a bunch of crazies, the Left is a protected profit center.
