The Descent into Anarcho-Tyranny
by Fjordman
The late American writer Samuel T. Francis promoted the term “anarcho-tyranny.” He viewed this as a toxic mix of chaotic anarchy and repressive tyranny. Essentially, this means that the authorities no longer perform legitimate functions such as keeping violent criminals off the streets. Yet at the same time, the government performs illegitimate functions such as suppressing dissent and criminalizing the legitimate views of peaceful citizens. As Sam Francis noted, “The result of anarcho-tyranny is that government swells in power, criminals are not controlled, and law-abiding citizens wind up being repressed by the state and attacked by thugs.”[1]
This, sadly, seems to sum of the state of much of the Western world today.
Nearly a million people applied for asylum in European countries in 2022, the highest tally since 2016. Syrians were the largest group to have applied for asylum, closely followed by Afghans and Turks, all overwhelmingly Muslims. Venezuelans and Bangladeshis also applied for asylum in record numbers, as did Moroccans, Tunisians, and Egyptians.[2] It should be mentioned that there is currently no war in most of these countries. These illegal immigrants are running away from their own dysfunctional culture, while also bringing it with them to Europe.
Large-scale illegal immigration to Europe from unstable and overpopulated societies in the Islamic world and Africa continues every single day. European authorities seem largely impotent to stop this.
Yet in 2020, the same authorities within a few weeks imposed extremely repressive lockdowns on hundreds of millions of law-abiding European citizens over the coronavirus Covid-19 from Wuhan in China. So European authorities are proven to be capable of imposing very forceful measures if they want to. If they never do this against the millions of illegal immigrants and asylum seeks who are flooding into Europe, perhaps this is because European authorities simply do not want to stop them.
The following examples are from Britain. However, they might as well have been from Italy, France, Belgium, or other Western countries.
Dover in Southeast England is currently on the frontline of large numbers of illegal immigrants crossing the English Channel in small boats. In Astor Secondary School in Dover, British schoolgirls protested the alleged rape of a fellow student. The suspects, all young Muslim men from Afghanistan, were arrested and interviewed but subsequently released without charge. The girls were asked about the attack and whether it took place on school premises, to which one girl replied: “Yes, allegedly, and nothing has been done about that. No one has taken into consideration that the boys will do it again. (The school’s) main concern is us causing a riot.”[3]
Men from Afghanistan have been involved in several particularly brutal attacks on women in multiple European countries in recent years. It should also been mentioned that British cities have for many years had a huge problem with Muslim men preying upon and raping largely white girls in so-called grooming gangs. This is reportedly still going on today in many parts of the UK.[4]
