In this episode, Eric, Paul and I think out loud about the significant demographic changes occurring in the UK, particularly the decline of the white British population, which is due to become a minority in the country by the 2060s. We explore:
- the implications of these shifts on society, politics, and culture.
- theories of ethnic conflict and what the future might hold for the United Kingdom
- the roles of assimilation and intermarriage
- the impact of DEI policies and woke culture on social trust
- the future of political ethnicity and nationalism
- the potential for remigration,
- the cultural shifts necessary for societal cohesion, and much much more.
