Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Evelyn Markus, leading European critics of the Islamisation of Europe, have observed that the chattering class are “shocked” about the electoral victory of Geert Wilders in the Netherlands. They are not. Wilders for years has been vilified by the liberal/Left media for his relentless attack upon mass immigration being used as a weapon for the Great Replacement, especially through the importation of radical jihadists. And now he has won, despite all the odds. All this in one of the once most woke countries in Europe.
But, as detailed by Ali and Markus, the Netherlands has seen migrant populations assaulting homosexuals and ethnic minorities, and a culture quite adverse to the multiculturalism which led to the migration of these migrants, has now occurred and is seemingly being engrained in their young in their “no-go” zones. The victory of Wilders comes from the same force that is leading to the surge of popularity of Donald Trump in America by “forgotten men and women: “A large and growing number of voters on both sides of the Atlantic have seen their living standards stagnate—their manufacturing jobs outsourced or automated and their neighbourhoods flooded with immigrants, many of whom are hostile to them and their way of life. Worst of all, they see this decline as multigenerational. In other words, the future of their children and grandchildren seems even bleaker as they stand in line for almost every basic service and have little or no prospect of ever owning their own home. While the elite obsess over climate change and “woke” identity politics, ordinary people face crime and an untenable cost of living.”
