A quick reminder of how long diversity has led to election theft, vote fraud, and national destabilization: The Curley Effect:

James Michael Curley, a four-time mayor of Boston, used wasteful redistribution to his poor Irish constituents and incendiary rhetoric to encourage richer citizens to emigrate from Boston, thereby shaping the electorate in his favor. Boston as a consequence stagnated, but Curley kept winning elections.

Throughout his four terms, using a combination of aggressive redistribution and
incendiary rhetoric, Curley tried to transform Boston from an integrated city of poor Irish
and rich protestants into a Gaelic city on American shores.

Curley’s motivation is clear. In his six mayoral races between 1913 and 1951, he
represented the poorest and most ethnically distinct of Boston’s Irish. The city’s
Brahmins always despised him because of his policies, his corruption, and his rhetoric,
and always worked to block his victory. The probability that James Curley would win in
Boston was, to a first approximation, strictly increasing in the share of poor Irish
Bostonians, and strictly decreasing in the share of rich Bostonians of English descent.
Unsurprisingly, he tried to turn Boston into a city that would elect him.

We call this strategy — increasing the relative size of one’s political base through
distortionary, wealth-reducing policies — the Curley effect. But it is hardly unique to
Curley. Other American mayors, but also politicians around the world, pursued policies
that encouraged emigration of their political enemies, raising poverty but gaining political
advantage. In his 24 years as mayor, Detroit’s Coleman Young drove white residents and
businesses out of the city. “Under Young, Detroit has become not merely an American
city that happens to have a black majority, but a black metropolis, the first major Third
World city in the United States. The trappings are all there – showcase projects, black
fisted symbols, an external enemy, and the cult of personality” (Chafets 1990, p. 177).

Worth noting of course is that the entire third world runs itself on pure individualism. “What can you do for me?” is the only viable question and no one strives toward the learning, institutions, and folkways that made the West great.

You can have the West, or you can have diversity, but you cannot have both. More than one ethnic group in the same place equals the death of culture, a loss of trust, collapse of social standards, and finally, genetic erasure.
