Yes, I suppose Germany is the sleeping giant here. But also, France.
A few years ago we had a few major European politicians that proclaimed the failure of multiculturalism. So they're definitely changing gears.
Philosopher Karl Popper defined the paradox in 1945 in The Open Society and Its Enemies Vol. 1.[1]
"Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."
Did you know that Sweden's prime minister called our nation a "humanitarian Superpower". He really did.. see that narcissism? See that Swedish narcissism above? If Swedes were diagnosed their narcissistic self-hate would make Jung shudder. It's incredibly two faced.. these people pretend to be interested in other cultures but they're living isolated somewhere in the suburbs talking about those poor people.. that are traditional as hell by the way. They are always to be preserved, they are pure, they are noble savages. But our own traditions? They're evil..
Russia's expansionist efforts are the prima facie evidence that history is once again repeating itself.
Tell that to the hippies of the 60's who rejected traditional values and were responsible for enacting the biggest revolution in modern day history, against TPTB.

Well yeah, but the hippies were extremists. So all there flawed philosophies just prove that extremist values are stupid, whether conservative or progressive.
Though, my point was its traditionalism that gives the Government undisputed total control over the masses, not progressivism. Go to far right and society becomes a tyranny, go to far left and society becomes an anarchy.

Lets just take a fika, and eat a cinnamon bun

That is why symbols like the Confederate flag are positioned by the media as racist and a symbol of hatred rather than rebellion against central power. And that is why the importance of family and family values are being challenged 24/7 in almost all entertainment. Break people from the strength of their past traditions and you can make them conform to anything. Break them from their traditions and you can break their individuality and will.

You've got your wires crossed mate. Traditionalism is how the central power keeps the masses under control, TPTB fears progressive values, because it takes the power away from the elites to control the masses and gives it to the people.
