France: the Canary in the Coal Mine
Riots in France have transmogrified from perennial "student riots" to full-blown leftist / Marxist / Islamic attacks on the nation - by people who absolutely hate their nation.
In the 19 October 2026 American Greatness article "Why France?", Stephen Soukup presents insight into France's history, writing:
France is burning. But why? The obvious answer to that question is that it has imported massive numbers of people - often young, military-aged men - from parts of the world where violence is more prevalent. Or, as the President of the United States put it over the weekend, "The immigration of people from an entirely different world, people with hatred in their hearts, has shattered that once great country."
This is all well and good and, of course, there's a great deal to it. France has, indeed, "imported the third world" (to use the Vice President's phrasing). Interestingly, though, over the last couple of decades, France has imported far less of the Third World than its larger neighbors have, both in absolute and relative numbers.
Over the past ten years or so - since Third World immigration to Europe ceased to be a "problem" and became a "crisis" - no nation has seen a greater influx of foreign-born residents than Germany. From 2015 to 2024, Germany welcomed just over 6 million immigrants, which is equivalent to the rest of the EU combined. Its foreign-born population jumped from 13.4 percent to 20.9 percent...
... France's foreign-born population has increased relatively slowly, from 9.1 percent to 11.3 percent...
He unerringly observes:
I know that the consensus is that what is happening in France today is likely to happen in Germany tomorrow, the UK the day after that, and all across Europe next week. Moreover, the conventional wisdom on the Right has it that the French uprising should be seen as a warning to the United States...
Soukup then explains how France is different from other Western nations in that it has a longer-established Muslim population:
For most of Europe, the "migrant crisis" began in 2015, when more than a million refugees from the Middle East and North Africa sought asylum from ongoing war and related devastation. For France, by contrast, its own migrant crisis started more than six decades earlier, in 1954, with the creation of the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN), which issued a declaration calling for national independence... and launched the Algerian Revolution/French-Algerian War...
... tens of thousands of "harkis" - i.e., Muslim auxiliaries who fought for the French in Algeria - were resettled in France, and hundreds of thousands of economic refugees had fled Algeria for France...
... France and Algeria reached an agreement providing Algerians unique immigration and work status, which contributed to an approximate doubling of the Algerian population in France over the next 15 years...
... it has a much more serious and much better-established problem with second- and third-generation immigrants, mostly from Africa...
In other words, while England and other Western nations have fairly recently imported huge numbers of un-assimilable third-world Muslims, France has a much longer history of doing so.
Soukup points out that: "France is a pretty screwed-up country and one flirting for years with the type of violence it's currently enduring." He then concludes that:
To save themselves, the nations and peoples of the West must recover their civilizational self-confidence and must, as a result, make a much greater effort to assimilate their newcomers and their children - economically and culturally.
That's like trying to clear the coal mine after the Canary has died.
The obvious solution is not to import un-assimilable third-world Muslims in the first place - because they hate and Western Civilization and France in particular and have no intention of assimilating.
This leads to the obvious question as to why the "leaders" of Western nations are trying to import as many third-worlders as possible. The answer is all too obvious: they also hate Western Civilization.
