The Great Replacement -- American Style

Some salient comments from Eric Florack in his PJ Media piece, "The Great American Demographic Shift." He begins:

    Are culture and demography destiny? I say yes, and suggest that it's hard to argue otherwise.

    A nation isn't lines on a map or a stack of statutes. It's the people who live there, the values they bring, and the institutions they either sustain or slowly gut. Swap enough of a population—say, trade native-born Americans steeped in the country's traditional culture for large numbers of newcomers from, say, Islamic cultures—and you swap the politics, the economy, and the outcomes that follow. That's not a hot take. That's arithmetic, and arithmetic doesn't negotiate.

    Import the third world's populations without assimilation, and you import the third world's problems along with them. Nobody should clutch his or her pearls over this. 

    Countries differ wildly in educational attainment, institutional trust, corruption, civic participation, family structure, and cultural expectations—and none of that magically dissolves the moment someone crosses a border. Some immigrants assimilate fast and become genuine assets to the country. Others don't bother trying. Either way, that's a choice the immigrant makes, not a mystery anyone needs to solve.

    Push migration past the speed a society can actually absorb, and the receiving country doesn't just gain people. It inherits the statistical baggage those populations carry with them, whether anyone wants to admit it over dinner or not.

He goes on to note that in 1970, non-Hispanic whites made up roughly 83 percent of the population but, by 2022, was only 59 percent, adding: "Outside of literal territorial conquest, this country has never reshuffled its population this fast, and pretending otherwise doesn't make the numbers move back." I would suggest that we are, in fact, seeing territorial conquest of a sort. And, as the author notes, it appears to have been a conscious choice of the left. Just like the Devil they serve, the left stands for chaos, ugliness, divisiveness; and they have achieved it.
