Awakening Finland
The very successful Fourth Awakening conference took place on May 24 on the outskirts of Helsinki, Finland... Like the recent Remigration Summit, it attracted participants and speakers from all over Europe as well as the United States — a high-quality event...
The first speaker was Dan Eriksson, a Swedish activist who is chairman of Det fria Sverige and Europa Terra Nostra. He began with perhaps the most provocative question of all: What if we do not win? What if European people neither stem the flow of foreigners nor raise their birthrates enough to remain the majority? Border control and remigration are clearly possible with the right political will, but raising birthrates is a different matter. Mr. Eriksson noted that “many countries have tried baby bonuses, but financial incentives will not solve our problem,” because it is spiritual rather than material. “We can’t bribe people into having children in a world in which they do not believe.”...
However, “what if a shrinking population isn’t the end of the world?” Mr. Eriksson asked. “What if it is a chance to rethink everything?” He noted that we did not choose what is happening, but we are not afraid of it. “How do we remain us, even as we become fewer?”...
The second speaker, Werner Toivonen, is a Finnish environmentalist activist... He warned that even though Europeans are not having babies, others are. He explained that it is the widespread use of chemical fertilizers that has made the population explosion possible. When fertilizers first came into use in the early 20th century, there were only 2.5 billion people; now, there are eight billion. Only 2 percent of food is grown without chemical fertilizers, and without them, crop yields would be so low there would be mass starvation...
Mr. Toivonen predicts that as hunger bites, not only will Europe cut immigration to zero, it will enforce remigration. After that, Europe will have to manage “controlled population decline,” because “growth must come to an end.”...
David Skrbina is a retired senior lecturer in philosophy at the University of Michigan and until recently a visiting research fellow at the University of Helsinki...
Dr. Skrbina warned that Europe is well beyond its carrying capacity, so importing people is folly. The continent should allow slow population decline and become self-sufficient...
Mark Collett is founder of the British organization, Patriotic Alternative. He began his talk by warning us that he would depress us with awful statistics, and was as good as his word. In Britain’s two largest cities, white British people are already a minority: just 36 percent in London and 42 percent in Birmingham. Even the media now admit that in the country as a whole, white Britons are just 70 percent, and that by 2050, they will be a minority. Children five to 11, at just 50.9 percent, are barely a majority, and recent years have seen the largest influx of foreigners in history.
It is now impossible to conceal the extent of the replacement, and the one fortunate consequence has been what Mr. Collett called “a huge, seismic racial awakening.” The question is, “Will we wake up in time?”...
F. Roger Devlin, who writes frequently for AmRen, spoke about the problem of white sub-replacement fertility...
Dr. Devlin took the long view, noting that we have evolved for 40,000 years in a harsh climate utterly unlike that of Africa, where even today, women often do the farming and are not dependent on men. The result among blacks is opportunistic mating, unstable families, and matrilineal societies. In Europe, farming was much more demanding and required the strength of a man. Women therefore needed men for support, and those who could secure the loyalty of a man passed on that propensity to their daughters. European women are attracted by good providers, just as men are attracted by youth and beauty...
