Marseilles will finally implode completely and be the Detroit of the Mediterranean. Germany will break up into East and West, with Eastern Germany being white and German. Eastern Germans are not the guilt ridden liberals of the West. They are fed up and ready to bolt.

These break ups will be lead by a variety of leaders, some military and others civilian demagogues. All will use dictatorial powers to expedite their agendas. Afterwords, Western ethno states will revert to democracies.

The sad remnants will be filled with starving Negroes, Pakistanis, and Arabs. They will war on each other constantly and live without electricity, running water, or any public services. It will be just like their homelands. They will serve as a justification for dictators and breakaway states. Without welfare, the vast majority of these people will die, and diseases will ravage them. White liberals will be banished to these areas. It will be a punishment worse than any death penalty.

Have a nice day.
Okey-dokey then...! <cough, chuckle, cough!>

Agreed, pretty much,.. although, I can't see the "unrepentant non-europeans" retaining control of ANY "settlements" on the sub-continent (europe), as they don't (or won't) have the "wherewithal" to hold anything from their "enemies".

I also don't think that "pure ethnic states" will happen, per se, or even be desirable.

A very tiny number of "physically different" people (families) will be allowed to exist, as they are "interesting" to the surrounding culture,.. BUT, they will have to be "more native than the natives" (culturally) to be allowed to "evolve" (within the next 3-ish generations) into the "red headed great-grandchildren of our common great-grand parents" and be accepted fully.

Any "minority" that can't handle that "burden" humbly will be expulsed.

But this scenario won't happen before another full turn of "the wheel", which means before 2023+88=2111, or so. ('Though possibly as early as 2021+58=2079.)

Regarding Foreign Immigration, I'm under the impression is that Europe problem is with letting in so many Arab radical Muslims. Regarding Germany the Syrians and Turks are the main problem.

Your implication is that some form of authoritarianism will "win". Problem is that authoritarianism is by nature a temporary expedient that doesn't "win" but only "facilitates".

Some form or other of authoritarianism is CURRENTLY on the upswing nearly everywhere. The reason being obvious, which is that it's more efficient and easier to persuade people to "accept" due to high levels of anxiety in the population.

Authoritarianism (which in my opinion can be "done right/correctly" but is VERY difficult to do) won't last (very long) past the "emergency period" of the Crisis Period, except in small isolated pockets. The reason being that a well functioning economy is required after the "big boom", and authoritarian rule and "well functioning economy" are mutually exclusive.

And, as far as I'm concerned, "left wing" and "right wing" are silly trivial distinctions between those who profess a "one-party-state", where "one-party-state" is a better description of "totalitarianism".

I'm for the judicious use of authoritarianism for limited amounts of time, but I believe any use of totalitarianism is an evil, per se.

I'm for nationalism, but "nationalism" should be better defined as "culture-ism" as opposed to "country-ism", and the "size" of countries should be "adjusted" to more properly only "include" their interior (and exterior if not overly disruptive) "nations/cultures".

..but,.. nobody asks for or takes my advice, as I'm "obnoxious and disliked". :) (..which I relish, actually, as I'm a lazy "software" oriented goofball for whom "laziness" is a virtue.)

Well, I must have very poor reading skills, because the rest of the
paragraph looks like gibberish to me as well, starting with your
delusional claim about my beliefs.

Breitbart is not posting this article. They don't tell me anything,
so I haven't been given a reason, but in this case the reason is
pretty obvious: talking about Cuba and free markets is against
right-wing ideology.

The fact that Cuba has been moving from Socialism to free markets in
the last ten years is as plain as the nose on your face. Government
departments were privatized, the bloated government bureaucracy was
fired, citizens may now own private property and run private
businesses. I've written several articles on this subject over the
years, and Breitbart posted them all until this one.

As obvious as Cuba's transition to free markets is, incredibly it's
impossible for anyone to acknowledge it:
  • Left-wingers can't acknowledge it, because they need a
    "successful" Socialist country to point to, after the disaster in
    Venezuela. To admit that Cuba is no longer Socialist is an attack on
    the left-wing Socialist platform, as espounsed by nutcases like Bernie
    Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
  • Right-wingers can't acknowledge it because many conservatives,
    especially Cuban exiles in Florida, view Cuba as the devil incarnate.
    In my view, the Republicans could score a lot of points by saying,
    "See, even Cuba is becoming capitalist, so vote for us, not the
    Socialists."
  • Most incredibly, Cuba can't acknowledge it. Cuba's government
    still insists it's a fully Socialist country, even though it isn't.
    As I wrote in the article, I thought it was very funny that even
    Xinhua was acknowledging the success of private markets in
    Cuba.
This is the bizarre world that we live in, when even political
opponents of differing ideologies conspire with one another to promote
fake news, when what's really going on is totally obvious.

It reminds of the housing bubble. It was perfectly obvious that it
was going on, and I wrote about it many times in the mid 2000s decade.
But the "experts" didn't even acknowledge it until 2009, and then only
in retrospect "we had a housing bubble several years ago." Oh,
really?

Today the same issue is occurring with the stock market bubble.

By the way, Cuba was a free market country prior to 1960, and been
Socialist for only a few decades, so it's not surprising at all that
it's moving to free markets in a generational Unraveling era.

This Cuba issue shows very well how the world is so completely fucked
up today.

I have about 14.2857% (plus a bit) confidence that we will avoid those mistakes,.. but then again, I had much less confidence that Trump would win.

..and extra points for finding the significance of that percentage number!
