Like most Americans, I hate HOAs. We’ve all heard stories of Homeowner’s Associations fining some veteran for flying an American flag in their yard or watched videos of some Karen or Biff playing the role of HOA cops. But as much as a pain in the ass HOAs are, the reality is, most of the people who move into those communities do so, at least in part, because of them. Why would someone subject themselves to the petty tyrannies HOAs? Because for them, having a community of a particular standard is important.
I’ve lived in neighborhoods where people basically have junkyards in their front yards, others were neighbors party until all hours of the night and one where someone let her rottweilers roam the neighborhood freely.
Some people would say living in an HOA is overkill from dealing with such problems. Maybe, but the reality is I’d prefer not having to confront unruly or anti-social neighbors on a regular basis. Such things not only impact the quality of life, but they impact home values too.
The funny thing is, sometimes choosing to live with an HOA is like living in a democratically governed country.
John Locke understood this “The only way whereby any one divests himself of his Natural Liberty, and puts on the bonds of Civil Society is by agreeing with other Men to joyn and unite into a Community, for their comfortable, safe, and peaceable living one amongst another, in a secure Enjoyment of their Properties, and a greater Security against any that are not of it.”
But what happens when that bond is broken? When that government, whose entire existence is based upon protecting the rights of citizens, ceases to fulfill its obligations or worse, works against them?
That is what we are seeing in most of the west today. Seemingly everywhere we see governments betray their citizens for the benefit of foreigners whose ancestors were never part of that original compact of compromise.
The traditional way westerners dealt with such failures was the ballot box. But what if that no longer works? Here the left has rigged elections for decades and their backstop against any reforms is a treasonous federal judiciary. In Europe, the EU, doing its best Henry II – Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest? – encourages member governments to sideline or eliminate any candidate or party that might fix their failures. What’s more, it forces member nations to import and support millions of the very immigrants who are so much of the problem in the first place. And in the UK, which exited the EU to escape Brussels’ tentacles, the government sacrificed 250,000 English girls to Muslim men while Brits face jail for talking about it.
This is not sustainable, and I think it leads to bloody civil war in numerous states across the west. It won’t be quick and it won’t be clean.
In Europe the danger is Islam. It has waited too long to react, and now there is no Charles Martel or John Sobieski to rescue it. With Tours and Vienna the enemy was external and the battle lines were easy to see.
Today however, across the continent they are not. In Germany it’s said that even the leftist PM understands they can’t build a professional army because there would be too many Muslim men involved and they don’t want to give them weapons. Muslims are today anywhere from mid-single digits to above 10% in virtually every western European country. They rarely assimilate, even after generations, but they nonetheless are very much woven into the economies, from Uber drivers to hotel maids to waiters to bodega owners and more. The more they grow, the more they push Islam & Sharia.
But I don’t think this civil war will start in the form of groups of vigilantes going around targeting Muslims. I think the catalyst will be governments jailing anyone who says things or posts things counter to the “Diversity is our Strength” propaganda. It’s been going on in the UK for years.
As a result, many white Brits don’t care about being called racists. They’re recognizing their government is actively taking the side of 3rd world invaders over them. And in a man bites dog event, a Scottish man recently attacked 5 Muslims with a knife in Edinburgh. Such events may become more common, and worse. The result will be the government cracking down even more on anyone who even thinks something outside the “Diversity” orthodoxy. Eventually those who refuse to bend will become guerillas in their own country. But they’ll be crushed. With the surveillance tools available to governments today, and the dearth of weapons in private hands, those holdouts don’t stand a chance.
The government will use the violence as a pretext to eliminate potential opponents at the voting booth. In doing so they will steadily move Britain towards the globalist, anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-western and anti-capitalist position that we’re told is an illusion. That British script will be followed by most of the governments in western Europe. Before the middle of this century, I’d suggest the UK and most western European nations will become defacto members of a modern caliphate, as the above scenario plays itself out in country after country. It won’t mean that Muslims will be an absolute majority, they won’t be. But then they don’t have to be.
Why? Because by forming coalitions with the useful idiot leftists, they’ll control all of the positions of power, including, and most importantly, the judicial / security / law enforcement sectors. By the end of the century, Islam will be the dominant, if not the only religion left in most of Europe. Between forced conversions and birthrates, Christianity and Judaism will likely disappear. And with them will go western heritage and culture.
But what about on this side of the pond? Thankfully we have a 1st Amendment, and more importantly, a 2nd Amendment. While the left has sought to eviscerate both, my guess is that a sufficient number of armed Americans still value actual freedom and liberty that they won’t allow the country to go down without a fight. Here the problem is not only Islam but a coalition of misfits plus tens of millions of illegals. As we’re seeing in New York right now, Muslims are partnering with the useful idiots on the left to take power…
But America is not Europe. As Europe moves inexorably towards a caliphate future that so differs from the western tradition, Americans are beginning to awake to the danger that Islam and the coalition of misfits pose to our civilization. They will push back hard, both at the ballot box and beyond. Sadly, I think it may end up getting bloody here too. But at the end of the day, unlike our European friends, I don’t think Americans will willingly trade their imperfect Republic for a 3rd world dystopia, whether pushed by Muslims, the horde of invaders from the south, or the not so useful idiots of the American left. Think of America as a big HOA, and instead of Karen and Biff in charge we have Rambo and Dirty Harry at the end of our driveway…
