"...One last point.
In his manifesto, Tarrant says that it’s “laughable” to expect immigrants to the West to assimilate to a decadent, dying culture like ours.
A man told me that two Romanian immigrant friends of his are thinking of returning to Romania to educate their children because they don’t want their kids infected with the decadence transmitted by the US education system.
This brought to mind something I heard in New York last week.

I don’t blame him at all.
I think of Mark Bollobas’s decision to move to Hungary, the country from which his parents defected in the 1960s.
Excerpt from something he wrote for this blog late last year:
...My decision to move back here to Hungary — I say that even though I wasn’t born here — has been reinforced by this fact: Hungary understands that holding on to its cultural identity is essential to its existence as a society we can understand.Culture changes over time, of course, but it normally does it slowly as we creep towards a more civilized future.England doesn’t feel more civilized — quite the opposite. It feels more feral. And the UK has just accepted its fate.
And so, Tarrant’s line — radicalization is the rational response to degeneration — played out in a different way in Mark Bollobas’s life. Rod, I live in Christchurch...
...Already there are questions about our security services, how could they not have known and prevented this tragedy?
Why was Tarrant not on any security watch list?
But what kind of surveillance state we would need to prevent all atrocities before they happen?
...To even admit that western civilisation is unraveling is something few if any of our politicians will do publicly.

I sense they are ill equipped to confront the reality of evil as expressed in this act, and at one level who can blame them?
However, to ignore the social currents that are set up by those factors you address in your post, including identity politics, demographic decline, mass migration and the ideology of multiculturalism, is to fuel rather than mitigate the problems that are partly of their own making.
A course correction would inevitably imply an admission of failure – something politicians refuse to do.

This means that as a culture, we are likely to learn nothing from yesterdays slaughter..."
