There has recently been formed a UK and Ireland branch of the youth-oriented Generation Identity movement. This movement has been growing in Europe in recent years as young people realise that the older generation of politicians have, by their lunatic and damaging multiculturalist, open borders and social policies, created a poison chalice to hand on to the next generation of Europeans.
Generation Identity in Europe have become known for the sort of eye catching political stunts that were once the preserve of the Left. I see a bit of a similarity between the sort of demonstrations that Generation Identity are doing such as leaflet drops, the scaling of monuments and banner flying and the sort of stuff that for example the Gay Liberation Front used to do in the 1970’s. Non violent but high profile political publicity incidents grab people’s attention and help to publicise the particular political cause.
In what looks like the first major public display of a Generation Identity stunt in the UK members of the group spread out across Westminster Bridge on Monday morning (23rd October) and hung a banner over the rail of the bridge saying ‘Defend London – Stop Islamisation’. Having just returned from an extended stay in the Capital I find myself unable to disagree with the statement on the banner. In London there are wholes swathes of the East and North East of London that are becoming or have become ghettos. These areas are dominated by Islam and the remaining British residents there, including those who were a couple of generations back were immigrants themselves, are finding their quality of life getting worse and worse. The voices of Britons when raised in complaint about the decline and social destruction of their areas is ignored or in some cases punished by local councils or the police. Yes of course London needs to be defended but it needs defending from the mainstream politicians who have brought nothing but ruination to the city with their multikulti and migration policies. Also from what I can see there is definite and aggressive Islamisation going on in East and North East London and for the sake of future generations this needs to be resisted. Again I find myself agreeing with the banner as we do need to stop Islamisation. The site of the demonstration was very well chosen as Westminster Bridge was the site of a horrific Islamic terror attack that killed five people and injured fifty back in March 2017. There could have been no more poignant place to have called for the tide of violent Islam to be turned back.
I was pleased to see that in Generation Identity there is a group who has stood up and done it in a very public way. This protest was sharp and to the point and other groups of patriot activists should take note. I was even more pleased to read on the Generation Identity UK site about their political stance. They are not they declare ‘National Socialist’ or ‘chauvinist’ and quite early on clearly show the door to those with such views. That policy will of course not stop the various Leftist whiners and Islamic grievance mongers from declaring Generation Identity as ‘far right’, but these Leftist and Islamic arseholes have used this term so much and so inappropriately, that smearing someone as ‘far right’ no longer has the impact that it once may have had.
So do I think that that Generation Identity UK is a good thing? Well, yes I do. In my opinion there is always room in the political sphere for those who want to protect European cultures and the indigenous people’s of Europe, but who also recognise that the sort of national socialism that erupted in the past, is not the way forward. I am heartened to see that a growing number of young people are being encouraged to open and free their minds by the Generation Identity groups. There is, sadly to my view, a need for some sort of political Reconquista in Europe in order to repair as much of the damage as possible that has been wrought on Europe by the politics of the Left. I’m too old to join Generation Identity (my climbing building days are long past) but it will be the current Generation Identity crowd and my son’s generation and those who come after him, who will have to repair the damage done to countries like the UK by the destructive social and political policies of the politicians of the post War era. Because of that I’d like the amount of damage that he and they have to clean up to be as little as possible.
I may not agree with everything that Generation Identity stand for or espouse and that would apply to any political party or group. Parties and political groupings are in free societies compromises rather than purity tests, I would be suspicious of any party where everyone agreed with one another on everything. However, there is one statement that Generation Identity UK have made that I find myself wholeheartedly agreeing with and that is on the necessity for people to start a political Reconquista within themselves.
The Generation Identity UK site said on the subject of Europe being ‘lost’:
How can Europe be “lost” if we have not yet even really attempted a rescue? It begins and is determined always by you, the individual: The Reconquest must begin in your heart first. Get active!
That’s correct. It’s impossible to make positive changes in the world around you unless you make positive changes within yourself. This can mean more reading of stuff that challenges garbage put out by the PC pap factory that too often passes for the British education system these days. The fight back against tyrants and tyrannical ideologies always begins within the individual.
Generation Identity UK, if they live up to their promise and their ideals, could end up being a major boon to the UK patriot political scene. They will certainly trigger the Islamic grievance mongers and Leftist snowflakes which is useful in exposing such people for what they are. But more importantly for me is that Generation Identity UK could bring both dynamism and creativity, to the fight back against a political class that has become so remote from ordinary Britons concerns, that this class sees nothing immoral in importing and coddling those who wish us dead.
We as citizens or subjects of European nations should not go gently into the dark night the politicians have created for us, no matter how many times these same politicians tell us that this is what we should do because of things like ‘racism’ or because it’s ‘the current year’. Generation Identity are but one way for those who choose to join it to rage against the dying of the European light and to help make a better future for the generations to come. Generation Identity may not be your choice in how to fight back politically, but if you care about what sort of future we are leaving for our children and grandchildren then join with others of like mind and protest to survive.
Generation Identity has the capacity to take the messages of patriotism and of appreciating the culture that countless generations have created to where it is most needed, to the young. There are at least one maybe more generations who have been woefully mis-educated by the teachers that their parents trusted to educate them properly. Instead of learning to appreciate what has been built by European nations over centuries our children have been filled by socialist teachers with self hatred and hatred for the countries and cultures in which they were born. If by issuing reading lists and grabbing people’s attention groups like Generation Identity can help to deprogramme our young people from destructive leftist and multiculturalist ideas, then they will be doing a great and lasting good for European societies. The 1968 generation of Leftists and self centred hedonists are the ones who have ended up dominating the education system and the results of that are plain to see in the social destruction that has resulted from forty odd years of Leftist guff being pumped into children. Once the 68’ers became dominant in the education system they by hiring and policy setting built it in their own image. This has meant that the same mindset and subset of educators that all but ‘abolished’ the teaching of English grammar for my generation of primary school children, is hard at work undermining the next generation of European children with curricula designed to get children to hate who they are and hate the nations from which they come from. Those from Generation Identity are correct when they say that in order to not break the chain of civilisation and culture that has been built up over thousands of years, then it is necessary to declare political war on the 68’ers. After all it is this 68 generation that declared war on the traditional family, concepts of national identity and on the Judeao-Christian moral code that went so far as to provide the foundation stones on which modern European nations were built. The damage that this generation of leftist political activists have done is enormous and these leftists and their fellow travellers need to be fought politically if there is to be any future in Europe for our children. For some Generation Identity will be the way that they choose to fight this fight but for others different groups might be more suitable.
Generation Identity may end up being smeared as ‘far right’ but most of what I’ve read from them makes them look more not far wrong rather then ‘far right’. They are correct in saying that Europe is facing a self inflicted calamity. If possible I’d like this calamity to be avoided, but it will only be avoided if people stand up en masse for things like justice, freedom, cohesion and the security of our nations and cultures, things that Generation Identity seem to be speaking about and standing up for. From what I can see Generation Identity could be a very positive move and I wish them well.
