Martin Sellner, a prominent European identitarian and nationalist activist, discusses his advocacy for remigration as a means to preserve ethno-cultural identity. He delves into the impact of Donald Trump's presidency on political movements in Europe and the importance of grassroots mobilization. The conversation also touches on the influence of elites in society and the alarming decline in testosterone levels linked to broader health issues, emphasizing how these factors interplay with national identity and immigration policies.
Martin Selner discusses how the identitarian movement seeks to influence immigration discourse in Europe through high-visibility campaigns and local activism.
He argues that re-migration policies require a cultural shift and a challenge to existing political narratives to counter the so-called 'Great Replacement'.
Deep dives
The Identity Movement's Impact
Martin Selner highlights the substantial influence of the identitarian movement on the dialogue surrounding immigration and demographic shifts in Europe. He notes notable actions, such as their protest against NGO boats aiding illegal immigration and their high-visibility banners advocating for border security. These measures evidence his group's commitment to popularizing concepts like 'fortress Europe' and 're-migration.' Despite facing significant censorship and losing access to financial and social media platforms, Selner suggests that his efforts have played a critical role in shifting political narratives within the German-speaking populace.
Re-Migration as a Solution
Selner defines re-migration as an umbrella term encompassing various measures aimed at reversing demographic shifts and securing ethno-cultural identities. He argues that the concept is essential for addressing what he terms the 'Great Replacement,' a phenomenon he believes threatens the stability of European nations. Refuting the notion that these demographic changes are inevitable, he posits that political will, rather than logistical barriers, is the primary obstacle to implementing re-migration policies. His book on the subject became an Amazon bestseller, indicating a growing interest in discussing these contentious topics.
Overcoming Obstacles to Re-Migration
Selner identifies the predominant obstacles to re-migration as political rather than logistical, asserting that existing political narratives need to be challenged. He recalls a personal anecdote about his son's lost toy to illustrate that if something can enter a space, it can also be removed. He emphasizes the need for a cultural shift in understanding toward viewing migration as a two-way street, not a one-way direction. This paradigm shift, he argues, requires breaking the silence surrounding the conversation on re-migration and developing a counter-narrative to bolster political movements.
Mobilization and Action
The discussion underscores the urgency for individuals to become actively involved in the identitarian movement by organizing local efforts and engaging those who share similar concerns. Selner emphasizes the potential for mobilization through communal efforts and calls for grassroots activism. He uses the electoral context to illustrate how even a small percentage of those with aligned beliefs could lead to a significant collective impact. His focus on mobilization stresses the importance of building a metapolitical power that can drive the agenda toward a sustainable vision for the future.
