People act like mass deportations are impossible but Algeria kicked out a million Whites (~12% of the population) in a couple of years after they gained independence [1] [2].
Similarly, Tunisia and Morocco each kicked out a quarter of a million Whites (~7% and ~5 of their populations, respectively) [3] [4] [5] [6].
Huge demographic turnovers can occur in the blink of an eye. Europeans were in North Africa for over a century but most non-Whites haven't even lived in the West for a single decade. They could be sent home as quickly as they arrived.
Peacefully deporting them would, theoretically, be easy and inexpensive. Simply banning them from accessing welfare and making them pay to use public services (e.g. healthcare in Europe) would cause many to immediately self-deport.
Since over 50% of immigrants are on welfare, the money saved could then be used to finance deportation logistics. Even paying them a lump sum to leave would be cheaper than keeping them here.

A giant point-and-sputter type seethe post from our friends over there at the CFR. It’s interesting that they refer to the broader right-wing movement as “reactionary populism”.
There’s a key passage in here that is very telling:
“Opponents of reactionary populism need to assume that they are in for a protracted political fight. The growing normalization of reactionary populism presents particularly acute dilemmas. Once extremist views become destigmatized, politicians and parties have no choice but to engage with them on their own terms. Efforts to selectively co-opt far-right positions, such as the Danish Social Democrats’ adoption of hard-line policies on immigration and cultural integration, may succeed in diminishing support for radicals. But they also facilitate normalization, which opens the door for extremists to inject ever more radical, illiberal, and authoritarian positions into the mainstream.”
In other words, things are going the direction we want them to and there’s largely nothing they can do about it. The best they can hope for is mainstream parties/institutions co-opt rad-right positions in an effort to moderate or neutralize the energy. But if that happens it just increasingly normalizes the positions. A lose-lose on their end.
Very whitepilling and should be motivation to triple down and keep up the pressure. 👌🏻
