Explaining Civilisation
And in thriving multiculturalism news:
Exactly zero men who would loiter near schools to harass or sexually assault young girls will be deterred by a power point presentation. If that’s not innately unthinkable to you, no amount of talk will make it so and you simply have no place in civilization. https://t.co/5Beehg9EGK

From the Telegraph piece in question:
Ah, capital letters. That should do it.
The unhappy statistics quoted in the article – say, that illegal migrants from Afghanistan are 22 times more likely to commit sex offences – will melt away in no time. And the fact that remarkably similar patterns are found in other European countries suddenly drenched in vibrancy is something that will doubtless just sort itself out.
The uninvited newcomers – chiefly, it seems, men of fighting age and all mysteriously unencumbered by identifying documents – are given helpful pointers on the customary use of pavements and pedestrian crossings, and are warned about the hazards of randomly strolling through moving traffic on busy roads. They are also introduced to the novel concepts of avoiding foul language in public and not abusing animals for amusement purposes.
Other teething problems have, it seems, arisen:
Not loitering at the gates of primary schools in order to film small children being another cultural subtlety requiring clarification.
Lawyers for Sadeq Nikzad, who entered the UK illegally on a small boat in 2023, told the court that he had not been educated about the significant cultural differences between the UK and Afghanistan. He was jailed for nine years for the sex attack, in Falkirk town centre.
Last week the Telegraph revealed that foreign nationals are responsible for more than a quarter of convictions for sex assaults on women.
As I’m sure you’d agree, it’s all going terribly well.
Readers will, of course, recall Finland’s answer to such sudden-onset vibrancy – namely, the please-don’t-rape-me dance, performed below.

As a yardstick of civilisational self-destruction, and dark farce, it’s quite a thing. As is the pernicious conceit, so fashionable among Our Betters, that if only we were kinder and more thoughtful, if only we fretted more and were somehow more accommodating, and if only we’d stop noticing, these things would just go away.
As illustrated during last year’s tribal rioting:
And from the same, what one might regard as a telling detail:
Mr Snow, since you ask, is married to the philanthropist Lady Edwina Louise Grosvenor, daughter of the sixth Duke of Westminster, one of the country’s richest landowners, with an estimated fortune north of £7 billion. Needless to say, Mr Snow does not live in, or anywhere near, the kinds of “diverse” neighbourhoods now being trashed and terrorised by competing tribes.
Tribes that apparently shouldn’t exist.
The unrealism of such people and their peers, Our Betters, has created a problem on a vast scale and which is dire in its implications – a problem that they are apparently unwilling to fix or even clearly identify. And so, they retreat further into unrealism and absurdity – with PowerPoint presentations on not abusing animals and please-don’t-rape-me dances – while expecting others – those on whom they’ve inflicted the problem – to become unrealistic and absurd too.
It’s the progressive way. In this and so much else.
Update, via the comments:
One of the consequences of massive, indiscriminate immigration – equivalent to the entire population of Sheffield, every year – is that it radically alters the general mood of those on whom this demographic transformation is being imposed. One might, for instance, aspire to the role of gracious host, as it were, of making newcomers feel welcome. But this ideal presupposes an immigration policy that is limited and selective, and in which newcomers have good reason to feel lucky – and grateful.
The graciousness of the locals, the ideal, depends on the notion that the host country is regarded as something special, a desirable thing, something worthy of respect.
But massive, indiscriminate immigration undermines that ideal. If seemingly anyone can walk in and demand goodies, any ill-mannered flotsam of the world, and if they can do so with no discernible sense of gratitude, or any expectation of such, and with no apparent regard for the norms and values of the host society, as if they were unimportant, then the indigenous population may feel they have little reason to be gracious. Indeed, being gracious may be something of a struggle.
I realise that even the idea that the locals might dare to think in such terms – of being the gracious host – is, for some, anathema, a basis for tutting and scolding. But the sense that the value of one’s society – one’s home – is being pissed away, sold off cheap, is not a promising basis for coexistence.
And yet here we are.
Doubtless there are progressives who would regard the ‘gracious host’ attitude as wickedly hierarchical and ‘othering’, or even racist. But I suspect it’s how quite a few people process a sudden influx of newcomers, regardless of the gasping of lefties. I suspect that something along those lines is a necessary precondition of any subsequent coexistence. A social lubricant.
And were I to relocate to, say, South Korea, I think I would feel much like a guest – and feel a corresponding obligation to be on my best behaviour. Possibly on an indefinite basis. I very much doubt I’d feel entitled to disregard queueing norms, or to, quite literally, shit on the doorsteps of the indigenous.
But hey, maybe that’s just me.

Ooo … me next!
In the southwest corner of Washington State current at 10:25 am 68F 67%H. Now to compare to where we lived 2 years ago — Inland Empire, Southern California 79F 56%H.
WA high later today — 84F
CA high later today — 91F
Pretty much we are getting our week or so of summer here in WA, CA will have even hotter weather lasting right through Sept.
I get that ‘table manners’ look trivial in comparison, but the teaching of civilized behavior starts somewhere and, with kids, a lot of that runs right around the dinner table.
And even the fact that a lot of families do NOT do dinner together and at the table (no phones no tv) anymore is just another indicator of cultural slacking. If you don’t train your child how to handle dining at the table at home, how do you expect them to behave in a restaurant?
If the shoe fits…
Orcs, trolls, balrogs, wargs, Shelobs….
The perverse primness reminded me of the middle-class Marxist Mr China Miéville, who, in the wake of the London riots of 2011, claimed to be “horrified” by the use of the word feral when describing what he refers to as “troubled” teenagers.
To describe as feral the kinds of people who, while laughing, beat pensioners unconscious and burn women out of their homes – randomly, for fun – is, according to Miéville, our “moral degradation far more than [theirs].” In Mr Miéville’s lofty reckoning, we are the degraded ones, the ones in need of correction.
If memory serves, Laurie Penny was eager to be seen saying the same thing.
thus:
I wonder how Laurie Penny and China Miéville would feel about an anti-left revolution that requires “direct action” against their ilk?
Traditionalists still refer to it as Dominion Day.
Many years ago we got to spend Canada Day among your compatriots. The Moose Milk flowed like water, a good time was had by all until the next day.
More victims of climate change.
I hear it was koumiss, and the neighbors had to call the police.
The triggering event was when some drunken lout tried to milk Bullwinkle.
