A bleak but beautiful synopsis, as ever, Woes. Race is such a brutally obvious truth that, in a way, one needs to overcome one's polite, respectable middle-class sensitivities in order to be able not only to acknowledge it but celebrate it as a cultural dynamic.

As a 'boomer' I grew up with this distaste for race as a reality. My parents fought/worked in (and for) the '39-45 war; subsequently the Holocaust was revealed to an already shell-shocked culture, and the mass emotion that then issued from the middle-classes (who make up the vast majority of the normie bloc) was that race would be allowed (consciously or unconsciously) to slip gently out of our cultural purview: "oh well, darling, I don't think we need to bother about all that stuff, do you? We're all brothers and sisters under the skin, after all!' (etc, etc.) Of course, two generations of vicious deconstruction of European identity was then unleashed on us via academia, media and entertainment and we went from forgetting race, to denying it, then reviling it, then outlawing it.

This kind of cultural, racial amnesia is, as we all now know, a devastating phenomenon: once suffered, it is, a long way back for a race and the atomised individuals that comprise it. That said if I, a deeply sensitive, little Lord Fauntleroy 'boomer' lyric poet can do it anyone can! - I jest, of course, insofar as the spirit of the true poet is, whilst deeply sensitive to the nuances of the human experience, also steely, enduring, impassioned and unashamedly warlike when the cause of a people's freedom is threatened. As William Blake famously declared: "Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! I shall not sleep - Oh clouds unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire!"

We're all going to need that attitude if we're to survive - which we will, of course.

So, you’re optimistic about the long-term trajectory—but what kind of timeline are we looking at before we see a systemic shift back toward European sovereignty and the emergence of non-subverted governance?

Devon Stack often discusses the idea of raising the next generations of “John Connors” in more rural areas while gradually fostering economic independence. But realistically, are we expecting the next 20–50 years to be a period of continued decline? Or does this "meritocratic" shift signal a tangible improvement in the daily life of you and me within a foreseeable timeframe? UK mainstream adverts are still ~60% black with inter mixing in more or less everything.

I tend to believe that much of the British middle class has fully internalised this kind if propaganda and will continue to do so until they fade into irrelevance as genetic dead ends. Maybe I'm being pessimistic but covid showed the level of passivity among them.

Finally, with younger generations in Britain increasingly relocating to Southeast Asia or Eastern Europe, many are attempting to establish their own expat communities. Given that significant change seems unlikely in the short term, could this approach be a viable strategy over the next 10–20 years? Or is it ultimately just another temporary escape?
