America is Gone

The current demographics fail the Twin Peaks metric.

I’m rewatching the show Twin Peaks. It’s a window in time to what this country was like just a quarter of a century ago. Nearly every character is White, and the few minorities stand out like tarantulas on an angel food cake. Everyone dresses well. They are all of normal weight. The women are all feminine and clearly strive to be attractive. It’s a painful, sad reminder of how much we’ve lost. And the incongruity of the commercials, with every actor either Black or Brown, makes it even more glaringly obvious. This country is gone.

It is gone. America is not, and never was, an idea. It was a historical nation, just like any other. You cannot have an American nation and also have a Mexican population, and Indian population, various Asian populations, various African populations, various Arab populations, and half the Jewish nation, and think that the resulting society and institutions are going to be the same, or even reasonably approximate, anymore than you can adulterate a pure substance and expect it to remain pure.

And since the USA has been demographically adulterated, it is no longer an American nation and it will not survive as a singular entity. This is not difficult and this is not ideology. It is simply inevitable.

Both the Chinese and the Russians are fully aware of this, which is why they’re not in any hurry to provoke an unnecessary confrontation with a US military they know will no longer effectively exist within 20 years. Recall the name of the book written by the man who is China’s chief strategist: America Against America.

I saw all of this coming more than 20 years ago. Do you imagine that Wang Hunin didn’t?
