The Crisis of Identity: How Globalist Policies Are Changing Western Nations Foreve

The Crisis of Loyalty, Identity, and Integration in the Modern World

In ancient times, the bond between rulers and their people was a matter of survival. Loyalty to one’s kingdom and ruler wasn’t just an ideal but a necessity. People knew that if their kingdom fell, the consequences would be devastating. Their cities would be plundered, their families endangered, and their livelihoods destroyed. This unbreakable allegiance unified communities and ensured their survival through war and conflict. Supporting one’s king was synonymous with protecting one’s family, heritage, and future.

However, the modern world operates on an entirely different foundation. Democracies have replaced monarchies, and globalization has blurred the once-clear lines of national loyalty. While these changes brought personal freedoms and economic opportunities, they also fractured the collective unity that once defined societies. Today, allegiance is no longer rooted in shared geography or a single identity. Instead, loyalty is fragmented along lines of race, religion, and ancestry. Nowhere is this shift more evident than in the Western world, where decades of mass immigration and multiculturalism have created cultural and political divisions that threaten the very fabric of society.

The Role of Western Governments in Their Own Crisis

The crisis facing the Western world today is largely self-inflicted. For decades, politicians, business leaders, and intellectual elites in Western nations embraced a globalist mindset that prioritized open borders, economic expansion, and global influence over national sovereignty and security. These decisions were made with little regard for their long-term impact on the cultural and demographic makeup of their societies.

A few decades ago, the people of the West supported these policies, often with blind trust in their governments. They believed that their leaders were acting in the best interests of their nations, whether through economic deals, military interventions, or refugee acceptance programs. When conflicts erupted in the Middle East, such as during the Arab Spring, most citizens supported their governments’ actions to intervene in the region. However, these wars and interventions were driven more by geopolitical ambitions than humanitarian concerns, and they destabilized entire countries, leaving behind destruction, chaos, and a massive refugee crisis.

Western governments failed to foresee the consequences of their actions. The very conflicts they helped ignite in the Middle East created waves of refugees and illegal immigrants who sought safety in the West. Instead of planning for this influx with carefully designed policies, they allowed mass immigration to occur without adequate thought to integration, demographic stability, or cultural harmony. The result was a growing population of immigrants who, while living in Western countries, retained their allegiance to their ancestral homelands and religious communities.

The West also neglected to implement rules like those seen in some ASEAN countries, where immigration policies are designed to maintain demographic balance and cultural integrity. In few nations, immigrants can live and work but face strict limits on obtaining permanent residency or citizenship. This prevents them from dominating the native population or exerting undue influence on local politics. Moreover, certain cities and neighborhoods in these countries enforce population limits to ensure that immigrant communities do not outnumber native residents, fostering harmony rather than segregation. Had Western nations adopted similar policies, they might have avoided many of the challenges they now face.

The Rise of Divided Loyalties and Cultural Dominance

One of the most significant consequences of Western immigration policies has been the rise of divided loyalties. Many immigrants, particularly those from the Middle East and other Muslim-majority regions, maintain strong emotional and cultural ties to their countries of origin. While they live, work, and raise families in the West, their primary allegiance often lies with their ancestral homelands.

This divided loyalty is most visible during international conflicts. When the ongoing Israel-Hamas war erupted, cities across the Western world saw large-scale protests organized by immigrant communities. These protests were not aimed at promoting peace but rather at pressuring Western governments to side with Palestine, reflecting the priorities of the protesters’ ancestral homelands rather than their adopted countries. Such actions highlight a growing trend: immigrants living in the West do not necessarily consider these nations their own. Instead, they use the freedoms and opportunities afforded to them by their host countries to advocate for the interests of their religious or cultural groups.

The lack of integration is further evident in the formation of isolated immigrant enclaves in Western cities. These enclaves often become dominated by the cultural and religious practices of their residents, creating parallel societies where native citizens feel excluded. Over time, these areas grow in influence, with immigrants forming their own political networks and running for office. In certain regions, immigrants have gained significant political power, which they use to prioritize the interests of their communities, further alienating native populations.

The Awakening of Native Populations

Faced with these changes, native populations in the West—particularly white communities—are beginning to push back. For decades, they tolerated the rise of multiculturalism and mass immigration, trusting that these changes would not disrupt the balance of their societies. However, the rapid demographic shifts, cultural dominance of immigrant communities, and growing political influence of non-natives have sparked a sense of fear and resentment among native citizens.

Many native citizens now feel that their cultural identity, traditions, and values are being eroded. Their fears are compounded by rising crime rates, which are often linked to immigrant-dominated areas. Incidents of violent crime, sexual assaults, and theft have created an environment of fear, making native populations feel unsafe in their own countries.

This fear extends beyond immediate concerns about safety. Native citizens worry about the long-term implications of these changes. They fear becoming minorities in their own nations, where their voices are drowned out by the growing influence of immigrant communities. They see their traditions being overshadowed and their history being rewritten to fit a narrative of globalism and multiculturalism. These fears have fueled the rise of nationalist movements that demand stricter immigration controls, the preservation of cultural heritage, and policies that prioritize native citizens over immigrants.

The Failure of Western Governments to Protect Sovereignty

The failure of Western governments to anticipate these challenges has been a critical factor in the current crisis. Unlike few ASEAN and Middle East countries, where immigration policies are designed to protect sovereignty and national identity, Western nations opened their borders without considering the potential consequences. By granting permanent residency and citizenship to large numbers of immigrants, they inadvertently allowed non-native populations to gain political power and influence.

In many Western nations, non-native populations now make up more than a third of the total population. This demographic shift has significant political implications. Immigrant communities often vote as a bloc, electing representatives who prioritize their interests over those of the broader population. In some cases, these representatives exert pressure on governments to adopt policies that align with the interests of immigrant groups, even when those policies conflict with national interests.

This dynamic has created a situation where native populations feel betrayed by their own governments. They see their leaders as more loyal to globalist ideals than to their own people. Politicians, eager to maintain power, often cater to immigrant communities to secure votes, further alienating native citizens.

The current crisis in the Western world is the result of decades of short-sighted policies and a failure to prioritize national interests. To address these challenges, Western nations must adopt a more balanced approach that values integration, cultural preservation, and sovereignty. Immigrants must be encouraged to integrate into their host societies, adopting shared values while respecting the traditions of their new homes. At the same time, governments must prioritize the well-being of native populations, ensuring that their voices are heard and their cultural heritage is protected.

Some ASEAN and Middle East countries provide valuable lessons in managing immigration. By restricting the concentration of immigrants in specific areas and limiting access to permanent residency and citizenship, these nations have maintained demographic balance and social harmony. Western nations would benefit from adopting similar policies to ensure that immigrant communities contribute to their societies without disrupting their cultural and political stability.

In Conclusion: The Price of Neglect and the Hope for Unity

The challenges facing the Western world are a direct consequence of neglecting the importance of loyalty, identity, and integration. Decades of globalist policies, mass immigration, and divided loyalties have left native populations feeling alienated and immigrants struggling to reconcile their cultural identities with their adopted homelands.

To navigate this crisis, Western nations must learn from the mistakes of the past and adopt policies that foster unity, preserve cultural heritage, and protect sovereignty.
