The faster the demographic shift is accomplished, the quicker white numbers and power will decline making any resistance by whites that much more difficult.

So this time I pray it’ll be rejected again, amd keep being rejected until there is some sort of proper immigration policy announced. It’s not just an economic matter. If Turkey with its population of more than 60 million became part of the EU it would liberate EU governing classes by definitively breaking the special relationship of the EU to any historical civilization. They would truly become their own sole standard. The expansion to the East would already go very far in that direction since Western Christendom is not at all the same as Eastern Orthodoxy.
