Talk to any European and they will all agree that the continent must be ready to confront an hypothetical invasion from the East. To quote Boney M: "Ah, those Russians!". But concerning the real invasion from the South, well, "that" one, you are not supposed to talk about. How paradoxical.
Clearly Europeans do not care to keep the purity of their "blood". In this respect, they may actually have a point since people have drifted in and out of Europe for centuries, even millenniums, obviously the place like many others has survived worst periods and should therefore be able to cope once again.
But what about the culture? Time to add minarets to older churches? This was done in Turkiye and Istanbul's Hagia Sophia Mosque actually looks great although the history of the city between then and now is rather tumultuous.
What is the risk? Compared to the economic decline most countries in Europe are facing, maybe this "replacement" is secondary or rather just one aspect of a crashing civilization. Without energy from Russia, industry from China and high-tech from the US, the multi-national crowds of European cities will face a rather bleak future, especially if the younger generations burn the place to the ground in-between.
The more you look at the prospects of Europe, the more the details seem irrelevant. White or brown, the crowds will be poor and angry, riding bicycles to go to work, well, the lucky ones at least. The rest will be all equal with the same number of food stamps in their digital wallets to queue in front of distribution centers which will distribute recomposed food made from green proteins.
Of course it can also be worse. Just go to Southern Iraq to visit the great city of Babylon to get a glimpse of how bad!
Here's the example of Rome:

Prison Time For Discussing The Great Replacement? French Left-Wing Lawmakers Push For Draconian New Law
by Remix News Staff via Remix News,
In the aftermath of a deadly shooting in Trappes, the left, including the mayor of Trappes, is pushing to criminalize discussions of demographic change, the "Great Replacement" theory, or "remigration." If they succeed, French people and politicians could face up to three years in prison for describing the Great Replacement.
Critics, including Reconquête party leader Éric Zemmour and others, call the measures an authoritarian assault on free expression that seeks to ban observation of well-documented population shifts rather than conspiracy theories alone.
The left is trying to capitalize on a shooting from Oct. 23, 2026, in Trappes and nearby La Verrière. Kevin T. killed Pengo Bossio Wangi and wounded seven others, reportedly targeting people of Muslim, African, or North African appearance. He told investigators he could no longer stand being "invaded."
Prison for mentioning the Great Replacement
Mayor Ali Rabeh - of the Génération.s party and who holds dual Moroccan-French citizenship - responded on France Inter by arguing that existing hate-speech rules under the 1881 press law are insufficient. He proposed amending Article 24 to punish those who present groups, "by reason of their origin or belonging to a religion, an ethnicity or a supposed race," as agents of a process of replacement of an "alleged native white French people" by immigration or the descendants of immigration.
Rabeh explicitly linked the shooter's language to the Great Replacement, which was first described by Renaud Camus. He said the National Rally had "ideologically armed" the attacker. He suggested that, if necessary, the Constitution itself should be amended.
The Great Replacement "is not a theory, but the name for a phenomenon that I consider the most important of our time. With this chrononym we can describe our era of the beginning of the 21st century to characterize the century as that of the Great Population Exchange, comparable to the Great War, the Great Depression, and the Great Plague," said French philosopher and author Renaud Camus.
The same day, Green deputies Sabrina Sebaihi and Steevy Gustave deposited a bill in the National Assembly, and a parallel text was filed in the Senate by Akli Mellouli. The proposals would specify that provocation to discrimination, hatred, or violence can arise from remarks invoking "the replacement of one population by another or the necessity of a remigration" when they designate a group as a threat because of origin or real or supposed ethnic or national belonging.
Penalties would be aggravated for elected officials or candidates, resulting in up to three years' imprisonment and a €75,000 fine.
Sebaihi framed the move on X:
The reaction from the right was pointed, with Éric Zemmour writing:
Other voices argued the proposals criminalize demographic reality rather than a supposed "conspiracy." Commentators noted that INSEE data show substantial foreign-national and immigrant shares in Trappes, at approximately 30 percent. However, the proportion of ethnic French is far lower than the data suggests, with INSEE refusing to publish statistics on second-generation migrants with French citizenship. In reality, most reports indicate that ethnic French are very much in the minority in the city.
Constitutionalists such as Benjamin Morel and Anne-Charlène Bezzina warned that the texts risk a disproportionate restriction on free expression, that existing incitement-to-hatred provisions already cover clear cases. Morel also writes that the Constitutional Council or European Court of Human Rights would likely strike down such a measure due to freedom of speech in Europe.
Camus says the Great Replacement is "not a theory"
Renaud Camus, the writer who coined the phrase, has continued to insist the underlying phenomenon is real and observable, distinguishing it from unfounded conspiracy claims.
In an interview released last week in the German newspaper Welt, he stated that the Great Replacement "is not a theory, but the name for a phenomenon that I consider the most important of our time. With this chrononym we can describe our era of the beginning of the 21st century to characterize the century as that of the Great Population Exchange, comparable to the Great War, the Great Depression, and the Great Plague."
He further stated: "My opponents may reject the term, but they admit the fact. Even Jean-Luc Mélenchon speaks of creolization. Everyone admits that the composition of the population in France has changed."
Remigration advocates view the legislative push as confirmation that authorities prefer to suppress discussion of the scale and consequences of post-war migration rather than address integration failures, security issues, or public opinion. They point out that the same political forces have, on other occasions, spoken positively of demographic "créolisation" or the "new France."
The Great Replacement is also not merely a "lofty theory" discussed among a niche group of right-wingers, but a mainstream and recognized development by the French public. Polling shows that 60 percent of the French believe the Great Replacement is occurring, which involves the replacement of ethnic French people with people from Africa, Asia, and other countries.
Under such a law, even France's most famed author, Michel Houellebecq, could face prison time if he were to call the Great Replacement a "fact" again, as he did in 2022.
Whether the proposals to criminalize discussions of the Great Replacement actually advance in a fragmented National Assembly remains uncertain. What is clear is that the left is actively preparing such measures, and should they gain power, many citizens, including politicians, could be headed to prison for simply describing a clear and undeniable statistical reality taking place across Europe.
