“Chances for Western Europeans to Become Extinct Greater than for White South Africans” | The Gateway Pundit | by Richard Abelson | 123

 

White South Africans may have a better chance at survival than their kin in Europe, according to Jaco Kleynhans of the Solidarity Movement: “What sets Afrikaners apart is that we have already lost the demographic and political battle without losing our language, identity, and faith. The chances for Western European peoples to become extinct in the long run are greater than the chances for Afrikaners to come to an end.”

Speaking to Maroela Media, Solidarity International Liaison Kleynhans and Dr. Heinrich Matthee, honorary chair in security studies at Akademia in Centurion, South Africa commented on the recent fall of the Dutch government in the face of renewed mass immigration, and the civil war-like unrest in France.

Dr. Heinrich Matthee called the European migrant crisis “a policy crisis or even a crisis of the current model of peaceful coexistence, which is struggling under the pressure of mass migration.”

European mass migration was reinforced by “a tremendous loss of support for the nation-state and secure borders, as well as a loss of common values such as faith and culture among Europeans,” Kleynhans noted. “The exaggerated belief in national identity and borders, which led to both world wars, began to diminish in the West—something that did not happen in other parts of the world such as Japan, South Korea, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.”

“Tipping Points”

Unlike the West, these countries did not turn their backs on the nation-state and nationalism, which is why they do not experience problems with illegal immigration, Kleynhans said. “On the contrary, measures have been developed in the West to try to accommodate illegal migrants with the cultivation of a culture of excessive tolerance. This has created a perception that it is acceptable to immigrate illegally to Western countries.”

Declining tolerance for mass migration has led to stricter migration policies, Kleynhans and Matthee said. Demographic shifts may lead to “tipping points” where either side of the population, indigenous, and immigrant, begin to behave differently.

“As immigrants are no longer a minority, they increasingly make more claims and even occupy entire areas and institutions. On the other hand, ethnic Europeans like Germans or Dutch also feel alienated”, Kleynhans said. This is why there is “an emerging right-wing and populist politics—one that does not, however, amount to a return to the conservative roots of the West.”

“Clash of Civilizations”

According to a 2021 opinion poll by Harris Interactive, “two-thirds of all French people are concerned about a “replacement” of the indigenous population, Kleynhans noted.  “Today, we are faced with a significant number of immigrants and their descendants who are establishing parallel societies in Europe where they are not integrated and assimilated with the local population,” Matthee said. “It is a clash between a civilization that is rapidly aging and even systematically dying out, versus a very young and energetic civilization ready to conquer new territories. One is first-world, and the other is third-world; one is culturally more advanced, and the other is much less advanced.”

“There is a clash in terms of values and faith—a secular West versus deeply conservative and religious newcomers,” Matthee said.

South Africans may project their situation too quickly onto the situation of indigenous Western Europeans, Matthee cautioned: “They travel to a few major European cities and think that the enclaves of migrant communities there are evenly distributed nationwide. In reality, there are many spaces and social events where indigenous Europeans visibly represent the dominant culture.”

While the future of Europe and its leadership “will look and function differently than in the 1970s,” Afrikaners should not write off Western Europe too quickly, according to Matthee. “Afrikaner organizations would miscalculate if they think that the greater political and economic influence of Western Europeans compared to Eastern European players will simply disappear in the next decade.”

Afrikaners should Establish Ties with Americans

This is why Afrikaners should “preferably establish strong ties and projects with their homeland and their distant American cousins to ensure their demographic, cultural, and territorial sustainability.”

Regarding the question of the survival and sustainability of Afrikaners, Kleynhans is optimistic.  “What sets Afrikaners apart from what is currently happening in Europe is that we have already lost the demographic and political battle but without losing our language, identity, and faith.”

“The chances for Western European peoples to become extinct in the long run are greater than the chances for Afrikaners to come to an end,” he says.
