Multiculturalism and migration

The word and the concept of Multiculturalism is being seriously misused and abused. So what does it really mean, or what should it mean? And what does it have to do with migration, as we see it today?

What is Multiculturalism, for real? Multiculturalism is a fashionable word these days: media, politicians, organizations, events, individuals are beating the drum of a free, liberal, equal, colorful etc, multi-cultural society. Wonderful.

I am all in for multiculturalism!!!

However, in the original sense of the word, and not how it is commonly used today, misinterpreted and twisted, according to dirty interests of certain groups.

The word and the concept of Multiculturalism is being seriously misused and abused!

Under this umbrella, such nonsense can happen every day that:

- in a non-Muslim community, young girls are forbidden to wear short skirts because of the Muslims going to the same school,

- in Christian communities, Christmas is not allowed to be called Christmas anymore, so as not to hurt the feelings of others who are not Christians,

- people are not allowed to celebrate the patron saint of their own country, because of the immigrants who don't celebrate it,

- people for whom proper grammar is important, are outraged against and are called racists by people who are not using the English language properly,

- in general, those who make attempts to preserve the language, the customs, traditions, culture and economy of their own homeland (especially if that happens to be in Europe, or if they happen to be white people), those people are immediately called racists, fascists and nazis.

And sadly, the list goes on. Who has not heard of more serious consequences, the terrible events that took lives (or "only" seriously hurt people, which is bad enough) in the recent months in France, Belgium, Florida, Germany, Sweden, Turkey, Austria, France again... - as a result of evil manipulation and deeds of certain groups and individuals?

Here I have embedded a video when I originally wrote this article, depicting incidents of what is happening in Europe, - long live multiculturalism! - but since then, YouTube has removed it. It showed everday scenes in cities of France, Sweden, Germany and other countries in Western Europe: violence, filthy migrant camps in city centers, rememberence of young people who became victims of vicious attacks, in the name of Allah.

This is another one, from Röszke, South Hungary where a horde of alleged "Syrian refugees" attacked the border on 16 September 2015 - excuse me, but what other word can one use for such a primitive crowd? A violent mob. My country was heavily criticized for defending our border - which is, by the way, the Schengen border as well, so the Hungarian authorities were only doing their duty!

In July 2005, I was working as a volunteer in South England when the London bombings occured: there were four co-ordinated suicide bombings in London during rush hour. Several people of our group went there to help on the scene.

And my son was living in Stockholm when the bombings in the inner city happened - thanks God he was not around.

And fortunately, I was not working any more in Manchester, England in 2017, at the time of the Arena bombing.

Such radicalization is definitely a factor to count with, when talking about migration and multiculturalism:

"Despite the Islamic State’s diminished outreach capabilities amid its territorial losses since 2017, authorities remain alarmed by the group’s continued ideological influence in Europe.Some recent attacksin Europe have elevated concernsthat migrants and refugees(especially youths) could be more vulnerable to Islamist radicalization and recruitment due to feeling marginalized or dislocated." Terrorism in Europe, a Congressional Research Service report, 2021 February.

There are opinions that some of these attacks were false flag operations, such as the Nice truck incident in Bastille Day, 14th of July 2016, which very well might be, but who knows that for sure, let's don't go into that right now, let's just talk about multiculturalism.

Skarholmen suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, 11 April 2011. (How many Swedish people can you see?)

In the past almost one year (as of 2016, the original date of this writing), I personally lost a couple of friends, ONLY because I voiced my opinion about the above described behavior. The biggest irony being is that supporters of that kind of multiculturalism are the loudest proponents of freedom of speech, thought, expression...

So what IS multiculturalism, or what should it be?

Per definition, it is exactly the opposite of how it is being used: which is basically and practically a planned, enforced, promoted invasion of population from MENA = Middle-East and Africa countries, into European states, the US and Canada - please notice that there is no talk about bringing multiculturalism to rich Arabic countries or to Asia, for example! For the real, original meaning of the word, see multicultural society.

Please correct me, if I misunderstand it, my English might be not good enough, but I am always willing to improve: the so-called multiculturalism today is going in the direction of white, local people having to assimilate to the favor of immigrants of other origins who have completely different genetic and cultural backgrounds.

Nevertheless, if I do understand it right, that the word multiculturalism is being misused by politicians, media and actually well-meaning people who have bought the propaganda, then please folks, give up already the wonderfully and fabulously illusionist dream of fluffy pink clouds at the end of rainbows where all the people will live happily after, hand in hand and unconditionally loving, tolerating and understanding each other, singing Imagine, while sipping booze, smoking pot and everybody is having sex with everybody, including their moms, kids, siblings, neighbors and dogs, because oppressing what people feel like doing would be cruel, it would be not granting their freedom and rights - right?

(And often the same persons who are aiming for this world of total euphoria and freedom where only human rights exist and one has the right to do everything, but there exist no any borders - physical nor moral -, there are no religions and other traditional and practical values, not to mention responsibilities, these persons in the next rounds will sing Hallelujah, send out Easter greetings and dress their profile pictures in the colors of the country where the latest mass rape or terror attack just happened... sponsored by multiculturalism)

The requirements to this false, purple hazy heaven of Everybody-Loves-Everybody-And-Everybody-Is-Free-To-Do-Whatever-The-Heck-They-Want are that all our differences be swiped out, the varieties of our languages, ways of thinking and other essential parts of our cultures become extinct and blended in a melting pot, into an unrecognizable, uniformly gray mass of controlled puppets.

Because as it goes now with the so-called multiculturalism, the direction is rather a totalitarian, communist utopia, a Brave New World, an Animal Farm and 1984. The idea of making the world so-called multicultural under one world government, originates from the 1920s, in the writings of Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi.

His book Praktischer Idealismus is a fascinating read, by the way, with interesting philosophical thoughts about Aesthetics as well. Maybe later I will write a review on it.

For now, back to my views, if you allow me: Integration is terrific, as long as it keeps the integrity of individuals and groups.

Personally, I don't have any other choice than live a multicultural life: I was born Hungarian and raised up in this tiny country in the middle of Europe with our unique language, other oddities and very rich traditions, with Slovak, probably Czech and Saxon (and who knows what else?) blood in my veins, I am a folk singer and dancer, love Gypsy music, my favorite dance is a Romanian one from a small village in Transylvania where Hungarians, Romanians and Gypsies live together, I have lived in more than a half dozen countries so far and understand about a dozen of languages to a greater or lesser degree, and I have colleagues, friends and fans from all over the world.

Greetings from Karlovy Vary, Czechia

In the 21st century, where distances are basically non-existent, thanks to modern technology, one can only be multicultural.

But.

BUT.

One can only be multicultural by keeping one's own culture, integrity, roots first, and by respecting of others.

You want to be multicultural? Excellent! Travel to the foreign country, meet the local people, learn their language (or at least, make efforts), learn about their customs, traditions, ways of life and thinking, eat their food, sing their songs and play their music (okay, you don't need to do that, but you can listen and appreciate), dance with them, discover their art, history and achievements, participate in their celebrations, be happy for them when they are happy about something.

A little taste of what real Multiculturalism should be:

Yours truly singing a traditional Irish song

A Bosnian folk song of Turkish origin, its melody remained there during the time of the Ottoman occupation:

Of course, as I am Hungarian, I sing Hungarian songs, like this traditional lullaby from a small village in Transylvania:

In Rome, do as Romans do. In Budapest, do as Hungarians do. In Paris, do as the French do. And so on. This is not racism or any other, heavy derogatory term, but common sense that makes life easier and more interesting, and the human relationships better oiled.

On the other hand, when you are hosting foreigners, proudly show them the richness of your homeland, your cultural heritage and modern achievements, and invite them to collaborate.

And don't for a moment, feel obliged to take in your house those who don't show any respect and interest in what you have to offer, especially if they deliberately working on destroying your own culture - in the name of a pretentious multiculturalism.

As mentioned above, I have written this article a few years ago. What gave the idea to dig it out now, was that today, on the 7th of October 2021, the European Commission held a High-level Forum on providing protection to Afghans at risk, where a few of the leaders were making efforts to convince EU countries to be ready and willing to receive migrants from Afghanistan. The tone and the words they are using is mostly appeal to emotion and not sound reasoning. Just one example:

“The demand from @FilippoGrandi was 42.500 for all of 🇪🇺 - and member states were even unable to pledge that number.

2015 one million was possible. What happened to our credibility and humanity?! #Afghanistan

What happened to your credibility, Madame, bureaucrats of the European Union and the United Nations? It's easy to tell: you lost it in 2015, when you flooded Europe with a huge mob of economic migrants from 3rd-world countries, under the pretense of "helping Syrian refugees".

One must be either completely naive not to see where did the "Refugees Welcome" and "Wir schaffen das" campaign of 2015 led, what burdens did it cause for the receiving and for the transit European countries - or one deliberately ignores it, in order to further an agenda which has not proven to be good for the white population of the world.

Of course, well-intentioned people, we all want to help others in need - but one must to THINK first and find the best ways to do that.

The real refugees from Afghanistan, Syria, or other MENA countries (Middle-East & North Africa), indeed fleeing from prosecution or such, should be running for their lives only to the next safe country. And there are many safe countries between Afghanistan and say, Poland. By settling those people much closer to their homelands, would make it possible that masses of people from cultures that are incompatible with the European way of living, would not be forced upon us.

What is the problem with mass migration, and what is the solution?

One more short video, with a very rational and constructive approach on the subject of immigration - it talks about the USA but can be applied in Europe as well. This gives the only reasonable solution to the problems of the world that mass migration is supposed to resolve, according to the official agenda.

Please notice: this easily understandable presentation (using colorful bubble gums) by immigration author and journalist Roy Beck is from 2010, that's years before the big, 2015 migration crisis in Europe!
