I’m so tired of the argument that we must be multicultural societies.
Here in America, it’s written into our DNA that we are a multi-ethnic society, but other Western countries not so much. So, it’s weird listening to Europeans talk about how diverse their societies are these days. I’m old enough to remember when that wasn’t the case. The idea here is that we are supposed to blend together and become one culture, not a bunch of disparate subcultures that have no connection to one another.
It would be one thing if we didn’t cater to immigrants, but we do. We bend over backwards for them and then they scream about how we are racist and not doing enough for them.
At this point, I don’t care about illegal immigrant sob stories and am thrilled Trump is deporting many of them. If you haven’t applied for legal citizenship after being here for 20+ years, that’s not an ‘us’ problem. That’s a ‘you didn’t read the tea leaves’ problem. Americans are fed up and want the gravy train shut down.
Many in our governments don’t seem to understand that burning social and political capital for outsiders was always going to end badly. This has always been a top-down initiative.
I’m allowed to want my culture to be the dominant culture in my native land. That doesn’t make me a bigot.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church talks about how we are not supposed to take in more immigrants than the society can handle. Societies are allowed to retain their cultures and filter out those who are not compatible with that. Immigration is supposed to be for mutual benefit and it hasn’t been for a long time. I’m so tired of people twisting my faith into something clearly it’s not.
It’s not the Christian thing to bring down the rest society because some feel guilty about their wealth and think that burdening their neighbors with all sorts of problems is the way to resolve that guilt. I call BS on that.
I think things would look different if our governments didn’t seem themselves as social service organizations. We need to get governments out of the charity business.
I really don’t care about having more ethnic restaurants. I can travel or cook at home. I care about living in a high trust society again.
The 2 Thess 2:11 quote by Gordon Rogers is stunning - ‘delusion’, wilful-foolishness given by God because people refuse the Truth and thus truth in social & physical creation This passage was much ignored in the past because blind-ignorance had not been widely seen in our Christian infused culture. It is now being seen and thus understood. A lot of the crazy thing our business leaders, civil servant, educators, politicians have been saying and doing are hard to fathom. Why the bad economic decisions, why the deliberate mass immigration, why the net-zero economic suicide, why the legal killing of old and unborn, why the weird biology? We look for someone - who planned this? Where is the memo? Where are the receipts? At the UN/WEF – maybe – but we’ve not seen it laid out in detail – the title: ‘How to destroy ‘Christian’ Britain and the US? It’s certainly possible, planned in Peking (since before its name changed) – at least that would be rational on some geo-political level. But I’ve come to think it doesn’t need to be that: v9 ‘The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing,’ As Paul affirms – Jesus will ‘bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming.’, and ‘will kill with the breath of his mouth’. As Aaron does, we all need to ever more urgently persuade our church and civil leaders to shake off the cloak of delusion and face up to the default position of Christians – which is perseverance with joy not popularity with pride.
When considering the challenges facing us, multiculturalism, transgenderism etc, I am always reminded of 2 Thess 2:11, where God sends those who do not accept Jesus a strong delusion to believe a lie. Fanatical supporters of these movements are really in torment because they believe a lie. Indeed all the lies they are spun by our state and the ruling elite. This is the spiritual war Christiand are engaged in. There are signs that Christians and churches are awakening, not least your own substack and other outputs. But there is still much to be done and more hardship to be endured, I fear and thus pray to God for strength and fortitude.
I couldn’t agree more, but the question remains: so what?
We are not going to win the argument with the subversive ideological forces that have wrought civilisational decline for the last 30+ years. So what are we as Christians going to do about it?
Small steps of resistance and advanced are possible. For starters, ifg most of the patriots in Britain became Christians and if most of the Christians in Britain acted like Christians, things would change.
I wonder whether the author is aware of Matt Goodwin's writing on this subject. Although he writes from a secular point-of-view rather than specifically Christian, his argument in opposing the degradation of British culture by misguided multiculturalism and uncontrolled immigration is exactly the same. His substack is here: https:// www. mattgoodwin. org/p/wow-bombshell-numbers-show-how-fast
In many cases that's definitely true. However, there are also many who are ignorant, having been brainwashed by ideology so they genuinely believe it's a "Christian" way of thinking. They need their eyes opened "for know not what they do".

Love your work, Aaron! Bless you.
Thankyou, brother and amen. Things need to change.

Great essay Aaron. I arrived at similar conclusions myself https://oswald67.substack.com/p/heard-you-want-your-country-backfuck

I’m at the point where I consider those church people who enable the invasion to be not my brothers, but the enemy.
