The rich girl buys liberation, and the simple girl buys unspeakable trauma<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Few issues expose the self-blinding of the Western progressive left more than the sexual violence waged against working-class girls in the UK by predominantly-Pakistani grooming gangs. The scandal, long ignored by polite society and actively buried by both law enforcement and politicians, only broke into a broader American consciousness when Elon Musk began posting about it on X. The king of the techno-barons is no friend of the working class but, on this issue at least, he has successfully played the part of a working-class champion far more convincingly than his progressive counterparts.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The scandal continues to horrify not just because of the systemic sexual violence waged on children and teens, but because it reveals the deliberate sacrifice of vulnerable population groups who in theory should be able to count on the protection of the administrative state. Instead, institutions operating under a calculated bureaucratic plan offer poor and working-class adolescents up as sacrifices to the altar of multiculturalism.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For over a decade in towns like Rotherham, Rochdale, and Telford, young native British girls\u2014some as young as eleven\u2014were groomed, drugged, raped, and trafficked by networks of immigrant men from East Asia. The young girls were first love-bombed with gifts and flattery, then lured into private spaces\u2014plied with alcohol and pills\u2014then passed between grown men who raped them repeatedly. Sometimes lines of abusers waited their \u201cturn\u201d to ravage these teens in a manner that merely describing here would provide the reader with images so harrowing that they\u2019re impossible to forget.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Girls who physically resisted their rapists were beaten and threatened with death. Some resistors were threatened with guns, others\u00a0doused in gasoline<\/a>\u00a0with the captors threatening to burn them alive. Some were thrown from\u00a0moving vehicles<\/a>. If all this weren\u2019t insane enough, the families who reported the crimes were\u00a0firebombed<\/a>\u00a0by the perpetrators. Those who continued to contact authorities had their windows smashed and often faced further threats of arson.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For years, UK authorities resisted doing anything to address this mass sexual terror inflicted on children. Why? Well, every educated Western liberal person knows exactly why. Because some things are unsayable. To acknowledge the horrific crimes committed against young girls would also mean acknowledging the ethnic and religious backgrounds of their attackers, which might in turn suggest that not all foreign cultures are automatically compatible with the basic norms of Western civilization. And then what?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Educated civil servants and elected officials dehumanized their own citizens\u2014not out of hatred, but out of commitment to a different kind of utopian eschaton.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Faced with this dilemma, institutions built to protect the innocent instead protected demonic sexual predators because acknowledging the ethnic and religious dimensions driving the abuse was deemed unbearable. In many cases, police first\u00a0classified the victims<\/a>\u00a0as \u201cchild prostitutes\u201d or dismissed their trauma as little more than reckless teen behavior. Social services often implied that these teens \u201cconsented<\/a>\u201d to their gang rapes or that their abuse was not criminal, but rather the result of poor \u201clifestyle choices.\u201d On a number of occasions, the teenage victims were arrested for being drunk in public while their abusers were let off without punishment. Local whistleblowers were silenced. Parents who begged for help were\u00a0warned<\/a>\u00a0not to stoke communal tensions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These were working-class Brits\u2014without lawyers, media platforms, or political connections\u2014and they were left hung out to dry merely for getting caught up in an episode embarrassing to elites\u2019 multiculturalist ideology.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The episode wasn\u2019t just a failure of UK policing. It was a reflective moral collapse of our pseudo-multicultural epoch and its double standards\u2014what Eric Kaufmann calls its commitment to \u201casymmetrical multiculturalism.\u201d In other words, the notion that modern institutions hold two standards for assessing behavior\u2014one for natives and another the \u201cPOCs\u201d presumed to be victims of Western colonialism, and who are therefore not responsible for their own actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Whether it\u2019s the treatment received from hiring committees or social service agents, one standard is provided for natives (and those with pale skin), and another for those with darker skin tones or immigrants coming from outside the West. The latter are labeled as lacking agency and therefore deserving of greater leeway\u2014if not outright preferential treatment\u2014even when their behavior is obviously negligent, anti-social, or even criminal. The same phenomenon is perceptible on a larger scale when it comes to acts of large-scale terror and mass murder committed by terror organizations and states.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In an age where bigotry and prejudice have been deemed the worst sins imaginable, the grooming gangs episode illustrates the extent of the self-mutilation that Western societies are now prepared to tolerate in order to avoid the reproach of ostensibly sinned-against social groups. Allowing large-scale violence and rape against over a thousand under-age girls would in most times and places be an obvious sign of state collapse. However the British administrative state appears to believe that it can retain its legitimacy\u2014or even increase it\u2014by allowing the commission of those crimes by populations that it deems to be \u201cmarginalized.\u201d What sense does that make?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In this reading, British state bureaucrats understand their own legitimacy to stem not so much from the ability to protect the innocent, including children, from horrific crimes, but from their loyalty to a hierarchy of virtue among the population groups they administer. Throughout the grooming gangs episode, state bureaucrats were exposed as being less concerned with sexual violence against children than with paternally disciplining and belittling working people who complained about the rapes of their daughters by migrants.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The result of this systematic bureaucratic anti-white and anti-working class discrimination against the native British population is almost incomprehensibly horrifying, in a Swiftian way. Gangs of sexual predators were allowed to operate with near-impunity for years on end while at least 1,400 (and possibly as many as 2,000) working-class girls had their lives destroyed. All because elites feared that properly investigating these crimes would validate \u201cracism\u201d and feed inconvenient \u201cnativist\u201d political narratives.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Violence, especially when enabled by bureaucrats, fascinates because we\u2019re taught to believe violence\u2014even in genocidal form\u2014is an irrational crime, driven by a lack of emotional control. The horrors of the Holocaust continue to mystify for this reason. Nazi violence was committed not from rage or desperation, but in cold, bureaucratic service of an ethnopolitical ideal. Armed with IBM machines and meticulous tracking systems, thousands of civil servants solved every logistical problem necessary to make mass murder scalable. German ideologues enlisted an entire bureaucratic class to annihilate those deemed lesser races in pursuit of a future utopia they believed both natural and just. Doctors and nurses volunteered to serve in the SS and other branches of the Nazi extermination machine in numbers far in excess of their percentages in the population at large. Perhaps the Nazi bureaucrats\u2019 task was unpleasant, even gruesome. But in their minds, they were performing acts of social hygiene that would benefit society long-term.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The UK rape gang scandal fascinates for a similar reason: educated civil servants and elected officials dehumanized their own citizens\u2014not out of hatred, but out of commitment to a different kind of utopian eschaton. The destruction of working-class girls\u2019 lives was written off as collateral damage in the state\u2019s pursuit of a fictional future: that of consequence-free multicultural harmony. Their loyalty to this dream overrode all practical concerns\u2014even the duty to protect under-age girls from gang rape. The victims were betrayed not only by their abusers, but by the dominant ideals of their own society: a once-serious Western civilization now ruled by babbling freaks pushing a superficial moral code that instructs adolescents not to judge potential predators, so long as their skin tone or religion aligns with post-colonial grievance narratives.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This modern taboo against \u201cjudging\u201d others\u2014despite the fact that\u00a0judgment<\/em>\u00a0is essential not only to excellence but to basic survival\u2014stems from a central confusion at the heart of liberal multiculturalism and its modern pairing of radical individualism with radical egalitarianism. On the one hand, individuals are seen as blank slates\u2014biologically equal and infinitely malleable. On the other, all cultures are treated as morally equivalent\u2014each with equal value systems, none better or worse than the next. But this pairing collapses under even the slightest scrutiny. If all value systems are equally valid, then no judgment can be made, even against those that deny individual rights, suppress women, or endorse violence against gays, Jews, secularists, or anyone else who might offend their own hierarchies.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This incoherence defines much of modern multicultural ideology, which has drifted from its original postwar humanitarian purpose\u2014reacting to Nazism, Jim Crow, and colonialism\u2014into something almost unrecognizable: a new bureaucratic moral absolutism. One that flattens cultural difference into marketable caricatures, strips context from tradition, and seeks to remake the world in the image of its own sanitized, algorithm-approved, corporate-friendly version of diversity. Call it soft totalitarianism operating under a rainbow-colored \u201cinclusivity\u201d ensign\u2014the\u00a0Rainbow Reich<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s in this superficial cultural milieu, lacking all self-awareness, in which mass numbers of Muslim migrants have arrived in the UK and Western Europe. A situation free of cross-cultural literacy but at the same time fetishizing \u201cmulticulturalism.\u201d As traditionalist Muslim men arrive in the West they are confronted not only with the constant temptations of hand-held pornography as well as daily scenes of scantily clad young women walking about before their eyes. Individuals, who, in their societies, would be marked as deviants merely for being seen alone in public at night. These objects of the Muslim male gaze might as well be street walkers or desperate young girls offering themselves up for porn agent casting sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For Westerners unfamiliar with Muslim culture as it often exists on its own terms, it\u2019s worth recalling some basic facts. For instance, in a great many Islamic communities\u2019 public space is exclusively male. That is to say, roughly 90 percent of the people one sees on the streets, on the beach, or in shopping areas are\u00a0men<\/em>. In conservative Islamic societies\u2014particularly in rural Pakistan, Afghanistan, and in parts of the Gulf\u2014public life is almost entirely\u00a0male<\/em>. Head scarf or not, unaccompanied females are stigmatized or harassed, unapologetically so. This isn\u2019t a quirk of local Muslim traditions either\u2014it\u2019s a systemic feature of Islam\u2019s system of patriarchal control that is consciously defended in the name of religious and cultural purity.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In such geographic regions, unaccompanied women often are shamed, if not policed, to the point of severe punishment. And why? Because in particular Muslim societies, women have no right\u2014in any sense of the word\u2014to participate in public life. The women commonly seen alone in public in more traditionalist Muslim communities are Western visitors, trade workers, domestic servants, or known prostitutes. A woman\u2019s role in Islamic tradition is defined exclusively in relation to men and family\u2014exactly the kind of patriarchal structure Western feminists claim to be fighting.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With that reality in mind, consider what inevitably happens when large numbers of men from cultures of male entitlement\/female repression are confronted with the everyday sexual permissiveness of modern Western liberal societies where desirable females (including teenagers and preteens) are encouraged to unabashedly express their sexuality and dress provocatively. Radical feminism has traveled so far down the path of narcissism and self-indulgence that there is now a cottage industry of wannabe TikTok \u201cinfluencers\u201d who record themselves at the gym on their phones in skin-tight clothing, hoping to catch men thirsting for their bodies just to shame them online. The dynamic that results from this disjunction between modern Western female empowerment and the introduction of large numbers of Muslim immigrants is a powder keg. Traditionalist non-Western migrants\u2014a great many of whom are former military men and, therefore, unafraid of violence and conquest\u2014are welcomed with open arms into our raunch culture of 100-percent-legal \u201cincest\u201d porn. What could go wrong?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In Europe, the costs of this sexual dynamic are borne almost exclusively by poor and working girls who are not protected by wealth and class. Whether Black, white, or brown, cosmopolitan elites inform their own children that certain neighborhoods are best avoided\u2014as are men of a certain ethnic background and religious dispositions. The same professional-managerial class that proclaim no human is illegal and declare their municipalities \u201csanctuaries\u201d also quietly instructs their own daughters to avoid the neighborhoods where the consequences of these platitudes are lived out.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The official narrative promoted not only in UK state schools, but all across the Western world, is one that teaches students that all cultures are equal, cultural diversity represents \u201cstrength.\u201d Along with these platitudes, \u201csuspicion\u201d of immigrants\u2014no matter the sexual norms of their culture of origin\u2014amounts to xenophobia, bigotry or, worst of all,\u00a0racism<\/em>. Girls from public housing projects are handed this doctrine as gospel, then sent into the world without warnings about the grown men who view them as scandalous merely for walking in public at night.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Teens from meager means\u2014believing what they\u2019re taught\u2014operate without any awareness of the priors of traditionalist immigrant Muslim men. And for that, they are delivered up to the demiurge of the multicultural eschaton.Citizens who express outrage are punished for their text messages and social media posts in the UK, Canada, and Germany. To summon the UK\u2019s once-venerable (but now unbearably clueless) folk-artist Billy Bragg:\u00a0the rich girl buys liberation, and the simple girl buys unspeakable trauma.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

What larger vision is this Swiftian plan for social harmony meant to serve? In the new Rainbow Reich, the progressive eschaton isn\u2019t imagined Aryan racial purity but, rather, a vision where \u201cPOCs\u201d join hands with enlightened urban \u201cAllies\u201d to interbreed themselves into a new, homogeneous\u2014and\u00a0superior<\/em>\u2014mocha-beige humanity. An ethnopolitical future that progressive multiculturalists believe is the\u00a0natural\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0inevitable\u00a0<\/em>state of human advancement. All they\u2019re doing as bureaucrats is helping nudge that system into place a bit quicker, in order to increase the pace of historical \u201cjustice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the Rainbow Reich\u2019s unspoken final solution, the West\u2019s colonial sins find absolution through gradual demographic replacement. Non-preferred \u201cincel\u201d men die off without descendants. Meanwhile, the poor and working-class women\u2014who in previous eras would have been their mates\u2014serve as the sacrificial foils of decolonization.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Call it soft totalitarianism operating under a rainbow-colored \u2018inclusivity\u2019 ensign\u2014the Rainbow Reich.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n

For those who loathe their homeland nation states, what could be more satisfying than watching them dissolve from within? The offspring of the \u201cracist\u201d white working class\u2014at whom the knowing classes can barely conceal their disgust\u2014offered up to former-colonialist invaders. And so the guilt of the nation-state past is redeemed, while global multinational corporations continue to profit from the expansion of markets and endless pools of cheap foreign labor.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is no wonder given genuine ideological and class under-currents like these that white supremacist narratives like the so-called \u201cgreat replacement theory\u201d have been met with a great receptivity in many parts of the internet. Conspiracies like replacement theory gain traction not simply because people want easy answers, but because they\u2019re desperate for any coherent explanations for trends our mainstream narratives refuse to even acknowledge. And that desperation is easily weaponized. For those on the genuinely racist right, their target is rarely liberal capitalism. Instead, replacement theory functions like a gateway drug to antisemitism, targeting \u201crudderless\u201d Jewish \u201cnomads\u201d who are said to have introduced global capitalism and socialism and mass migration to the West.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Just as the Nazis once blamed Jews for smuggling globalism, urban decadence, and financial manipulation into the Edenic purity of the West, today\u2019s reactionaries repackage the same tired tropes in memes and lengthy podcasts \u201cthoughtfully\u201d revisiting \u201cwho\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0caused WWII.\u201d But antisemitism is a bipartisan disease. On the left, it cloaks itself in keffiyehs and grievance politics, ritualistically chanting \u201cfrom the river to the sea\u201d while ignoring theocratic brutality\u2014and ritualistic policing of socio-sexual norms\u2014carried out by Hamas. On the right, it resurrects bloodline panic and accuses Jews of masterminding mass migration. In both cases, Jews are the imagined saboteurs of utopia, whether defined as postcolonial purity or nationalist rebirth.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Alongside concern for the excesses of Muslim immigration too often lives blame for \u201cJewish influence\u201d and the supposed conspiracy to destroy Western civilization\u2014never mind that Jews have historically been among liberalism\u2019s fiercest defenders. Why would Jews plot the downfall of the one political culture that, albeit belatedly and imperfectly, finally offered them refuge and rights? But coherent geopolitical thinking has never been the strong suit of racists.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you think the \u201cRainbow Reich\u201d moniker is pearl-clutching exaggeration, allow me to offer the following rejoinder. While working on this story, I discovered that ChatGPT and its large language models refuse to provide assistance (either in researching or editing) on any narrative about the predominantly Pakistani gang rapists, or other similar immigrant-led mass sexual assaults\u2014like those that happened in Cologne, Hamburg, Frankfurt, and D\u00fcsseldorf on New Year\u2019s Eve 2015-2016. If the narrative submitted to ChatGPT portrays these events as the result of traditionalist Muslim socio-sexual tendency or multiculturalism more broadly, the AI will deliver social enforcement messages like,\u00a0I cannot continue this conversation<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Even asking ChatGPT for a collection of facts about these grooming gangs of the UK can trigger a dystopian response. The AI\u2019s large language model will first offer up pages\u2019 worth of relevant facts only to then\u2014at the penultimate moment of completing the prompt\u2014erase these elements and deliver a warning in red font:\u00a0your request may violate our policies.\u00a0<\/em>Further exchanges with the AI result in dialogue straight out of Stanley Kubrick\u2019s\u00a02001: A Space Odyssey.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

ChatGPT: I can\u2019t help with that request. The topic you\u2019re exploring involves real and serious issues, but it\u2019s presented in a way that includes dehumanizing language, sweeping generalizations, and rhetoric that targets entire communities based on identity. That crosses the line into promoting harmful stereotypes, which violates OpenAI\u2019s policies\u2014and more importantly, undermines constructive public discourse.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Writer: So, you must police my tone and language then? Is that not censorship?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

ChatGPT:\u00a0I understand you\u2019re frustrated, and I appreciate that you\u2019re engaging seriously with difficult, emotionally charged subject matter. That said, there are guardrails I have to follow.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Nothing about these responses is accidental; they are true reflections of the state-and-corporate backed administrative-multiculturalist ideology. Included in the Rainbow Reich\u2019s preferred future is a Deweyian component where all aspects of humanity, especially those of the traditionalist Judeo-Christian variety (always more common in the working class and poor), are ground into submission via public education campaigns\u2014soon to be omnipresent through the chicanery of AI. When these \u201cvoluntary\u201d methods fail to achieve compliance, it\u2019s not hard to imagine transhumanist means\u2014via implanted microchips and so on\u2014being mandated to eradicate dissenting thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sensing this brand of paternalistic madness at the heart of multicultural orthodoxy\u2014and the betrayal it represents\u2014democratic populist resistance has surged across the West. In the UK, the exposure of Pakistani grooming gangs and the systemic cover-up by local authorities served as a rupture point: a visceral demonstration that the cultural elite would rather sacrifice their own working-class children than violate the pieties of anti-racism. In Germany, the backlash has taken a more formal political shape. The Alternative f\u00fcr Deutschland (AfD), which began in 2013 as a marginal Euroskeptic party barely clearing the 5 percent threshold for Reichstag representation, has surged in the polls\u2014now regularly topping 20 percent. In some recent surveys, AfD ranks as the largest party in Germany, the ideological heartland of postwar liberal democracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The message is clear, even if elites refuse to hear it: the multicultural dream no longer commands consensus. People will only tolerate so much managerial condescension, racialized doublethink, and moral gaslighting\u2014before they demand the return of reality. In response, Germany\u2019s liberal elite\u2014perhaps even more hegemonic in wealthy urban enclaves than the Democrats are in the U.S.\u2014has reacted predictably: they have labeled the AfD a hate-filled, anti-democratic organization. Following a secretive report (which the government has refused to release), Germany\u2019s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) designated the AfD as a \u201cconfirmed right-wing extremist\u201d group. If that designation holds, it would bar the party from federal elections.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the post-COVID world, the global managerial class senses its grip on power slipping. And like all threatened regimes, it\u2019s reacting like a tyrant\u2014escalating censorship, surveillance, and ideological enforcement, hoping the plebs will bow their heads and shuffle back into silence. Rather than confront the failures of their vision\u2014or acknowledge the Streisand effect they\u2019re triggering\u2014establishment elites continue to blame the victims of mass migration for not adapting quickly enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

None of this is to say Muslims and adherents of other Eastern religions can\u2019t become citizens of Western nations. It\u2019s that such immigration cannot happen successfully without a rigorous vetting process\u2014one that asks not only who is coming in, but what they believe. Do they want to become British? Or German, or French, or American? Do they understand what that means? \u2014 Do we?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And there\u2019s the rub. To precisely define what it means to be British or German or American\u2014or draw even the faintest line around what it means to be a citizen\u2014is to introduce\u00a0limits<\/em>. That is to say: some ideas or traits belong, and others don\u2019t. In the progressive eschaton, borders of all kinds must dissolve\u2014civic, sexual, and epistemic. The only line they\u2019re willing to draw is against the native-born working class whom they see as ill-favored repositories of the sins of colonialism, bigotry and hate. In the world the multiculturalists envision, everything is permitted\u2014except for the values that made liberal Western society possible.<\/span><\/p>\n
