The UK gave sanctuary to a lot of Indians/Pakistanis who had been forced out of places like Uganda and Kenya. Looks like it is starting here too...

Places like Uganda and Kenya were on the periphery and that got impacted first. The periphery breaks down rather slowly at first. Then, as noted, the Indians/Pakistanis found themselves in London due to the breakdown of the periphery. Capital cities of the hegemon or closely related. Now those cities are collapsing suddenly and violently. As the one-off fossil fuel energy subsidy ends, people will fight like cats in a sack. I think someone on The Oil Drum said that many years ago.

Issues between Asians and black communities has been known for some time, years. Watched a documentary years ago on this. Yet our governments of what ever persuasion continue to ignore it so we now have this growing problem with masses of the middle east coming in to add to the mix.

Multiculturalism, what joy.

During the Rodney King riots in LA some decades ago, the police abandoned their jobs and the Korean shop owners armed themselves and defended their shops during 2 or 3 days of rioting. I looked at that as an indicator of things to come, things that we now see more clearly and more pervasively. Sort of like the more recent supply chain problems. I'm guessing the supply chain problems will come back more pervasively when the real financial crisis hits.

The supply chain clear cutting is already well advanced and done. UAW slow on the uptake.

This happened in Handsworth, Birmingham about a dozen years ago. Full-blown race riots between black and Asian ( mainly Pakistani ) youths. One lad died.

Multi-cultism doesn’t work, and as in places like Portland Oregon, Asian shopkeepers are the new Jews.
To see how roughly equal numbers of different cultures don’t co-exist, look no further than Bosnia where Orthodox Serbs, Catholic Croats and Muslim Bosnians had a bloody tribal war that required British and US action.

We are already moving towards ghettos and the indigenous population is moving out of various towns and cities as the incomers assert their customs.

As Generational Dynamics pointed out, there is an instinct among humans to hate, oppress and kill those that are different. Any attempt at a multi cultural environment involves mixing those that are different. Sometimes it works without conflict, sometimes it doesn't. Another observation is that cultures try to expand, try to control other cultures, too often succeeding and creating a multi cultural environment. Bosnia stands as an example.

In the Agricultural and Industrial Ages, it was considered the thing to do to increase one's territory and power by taking land and creating a multi cultural environment. At the same time a tension developed between the conquerors and their victims. In the Information Age such conquest is frowned upon, while at the same time immigration by those who don't believe in their native culture has resulted in many multi cultural environments.

This certainly isn't going to stop instantly. Slapping down invasions will help. Rule of law that respects all cultures equally and fairly helps. Expecting an instant solution, for humans not to hate those that are different, is very unlikely to say the least.

Last night I caught an anti quake and tsunami video. One theme was building towers along the Pacific Northwest coast to give people somewhere to go above the expected tsunami. These towers need to be close enough to be reached in the 15 minutes before the tsunami is expected, and large enough to harbor the population that lives in the 15 minute range. One such tower was built by a native tribe. They built it large enough to shelter the adjacent white community, one community helping another. This is the sort of thing that should be encouraged. This shows that the instinct to love one's neighbor can honorably challenge the instinct to hate one who is different.

Obviously, some will give honor more to the hate.

What you've described here is exactly the template for a Generational
Dynamics saeculum with two identity groups. You can take that
scenario, and throw in a Recovery era, Awakening era, and Unraveling
era, and you have exactly what happens.

However, I'm not aware of a situation where one side was completely
wiped out. There are always "collaborators" on the winning side that
protect some of those on the losing side. A sub-population of the
losers always find a way to hide out until the war is over. And most
important, there is a crisis war climax where the losing side
surrenders and the winning sides recoils in horror at the things it's
done, sometimes turning some of those remaining on the losing side
into slaves or something similar, which causes riots in the
next Awakening era.

If your characterization of Trump is correct, then Trump is proposing
to take resources away from Mexicans and Muslims and give them to
Americans, which would trigger a war, spiraling into a crisis war.

Yes, what I described above is a very simple model that leaves a lot out. It is also extreme because I described a carrying capacity that is less than 10 percent of the population. One of my goals in conveying that model as I did was to illustrate that humans divide themselves into subgroups on a continuum where even if the population is all one racial group, it will divide into subgroups and the like racial subgroups will war against each other.

A more accurate example of the model would be to start with the 3,000 and the 3,000, then reduce those to 1,800 and 200, for example. The 1,800 would then see that eliminating the remaining 200 would do them no good and the 1,800 would then perceive subgroups within the 1,800 and war against each other. The larger subgroups within the 1,800 would at some point be perceived as more of a threat than the remaining 200 or whatever that number needs to be to put their attention elsewhere.

In my opinion, one of the key factors to answer the debate in the above discussion (in this thread, not within this post which is an old discussion from 2016) is the perceived geographic area of the resource base.

Clearly, in the 2016 election, the perceived geographic area of the resource base to be divided was considered to be global. Trump voters wanted to reclaim some of the resources that had been lost and Trump promised to redress those losses that came about due to globalists, China, etc. To the extent that the resource base that is being squabbled over remains global in nature, nothing changes. If the world gets smaller and the resource base being squabbled over is entirely within national borders and conditions are uniform within those borders, then an organized Civil War on a national scale would be possible. If the world gets even smaller than that (and quickly), and the resource base being squabbled over is profoundly local and conditions are profoundly variable between localities, war will not be organized on a global or national scale. That's what I think is going to happen and who is at each other's throats will be highly variable across the US. But I can see why others would disagree with that assessment.

Perception of resource scarcity is a factor that drives aggression against distinguishable subgroups of the human population. Trump focuses on the resource scarcity. He is promising to bring more resources to the entire US population and to take back resources from the rest of the world, and to disallow the rest of the world from coming into the US and partaking of the booty he is promising to deliver.

Let's say for example there is an island that can support a steady state human population of 1,000. The human population consists of 6,000 due to over-expansion off the accumulated resource base. The population is relatively homogeneous except 3,000 have black skin and 3,000 have white skin, so we have 2 readily distinguishable subgroups. The perceived available resource drops to a level that is sufficient to support a population of 500 and there is a general consensus on this. The subgroups go to war and at the end of the war 2,000 whites remain and everyone else is dead. The perceived available resource remains at 500. The 2,000 whites then proceed to further divide themselves into previously unidentified subgroups (i.e. "Hatfields" and "McCoys") and these subgroups go to war. This process stops when the perceived available resource is greater than the remaining population.

Of all the existing archetypes, Generation X and the Millennials are the most resource-poor. Of course, there is much more that factors into human perceptions than just the reality of circumstances. For example, a young Millennial may falsely believe that the future is bright and being resource-poor is only a temporary condition that will improve when, to use a recent example, in 2008, Barry Obama dons his shades and this cool cat struts across the White House lawn promising delivery of "hope and change" from Heaven, as well as "shovel-ready jobs" and millions of immigrants, only the latter of which was actually delivered.

During the Rodney King riots in LA some decades ago, the police abandoned their jobs and the Korean shop owners armed themselves and defended their shops during 2 or 3 days of rioting. I looked at that as an indicator of things to come, things that we now see more clearly and more pervasively.

1992 Los Angeles riots

Destruction of Koreatown

Koreatown is a roughly 2.7 square-mile (7 square kilometre) neighborhood between Hoover Street and Western Avenue, and 3rd Street and Olympic Boulevard, west of MacArthur Park and east of Hancock Park/Windsor Square.[97] Korean immigrants had begun settling in the Mid-Wilshire area in the 1960s after the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. It was here that many opened successful businesses.[98]

As the riots spread, roads between Koreatown and wealthy white neighborhoods were blocked off by police and official defense lines were set up around the independent cities such as Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, as well as middle-upper class white neighborhoods west of Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles.[99] A Korean American resident later told reporters: "It was containment. The police cut off Koreatown traffic, while we were trapped on the other side without help. Those roads are a gateway to a richer neighborhood. It can't be denied."[100] Some Koreans later said they did not expect law enforcement to come to their aid.[101]

The lack of law enforcement forced Koreatown civilians to organize their own armed security teams, mainly composed of store owners, to defend their businesses from rioters.[100] Those who stood on the roof of the California Supermarket at 5th and Western Avenue with firearms were later referred to as the "roof" or "rooftop Koreans." Many had military experience from serving in the Republic of Korea Armed Forces before emigrating to the United States.[102] Open gun battles were televised, including an incident in which Korean shopkeepers armed with M1 carbines, Ruger Mini-14s, pump-action shotguns, and handguns exchanged gunfire with a group of armed looters, and forced their retreat.[103] But there were casualties, such as 18-year-old Edward Song Lee, whose body can be seen lying in the street in images taken by photojournalist Hyungwon Kang.[101]

After events in Koreatown, the 670th MP Company from National City, California were redeployed to reinforce police patrols guarding the Korean Cultural Center and the Consulate-General of South Korea in Los Angeles.[104]

Out of the $850 million worth of damage done in L.A., half of it was on Korean-owned businesses.[105]

In the new dark age, I expect these kinds of scenarios to play out regularly. Also, look for white liberals to instigate similar dividing lines and leave the minorities to fend for themselves, as happened in this example.

[Higgenbotham]

One of the diversionary "divide and conquer" tactics white liberals use generally is to cut off resources from a group, as they did with the Koreans during the 1992 LA riots.

Then when the group deprived of needed resources reacts aggressively, the white liberals point at that group and say, "See those deplorables over there? They are haters."

There were untold pages of ink spilled over the causes of the LA riots. But the bottom line is no conservatives had been running that city for decades. If the city was being run in such a way as to foment racial tensions, there was only one reason - that was just the way the liberals running LA wanted it run - divide and conquer.

So what are the crisis issues of today? In Black Lives Matter there was police prejudice killing and spree killing of not just black minorities, protesting toward an end of prejudice and more equality. In abortion there was an attempt by religious fanatics to spread their religious doctrine to unbelievers, countered by a press for independence and freedom. In the insurrection there was opposition to rule of law. In Covid there was money valued over lives.

Admittedly, "crisis issues" and "top national problems" may not be exact matches. Not all issues may have been included in the poll.

But...

police prejudice killing
spree killing
prejudice
abortion
money valued over lives

I'm having a hard time finding any of this.

Gun violence, yes. But spree killing is a very, very small fraction of gun violence.

Racism is way down the list.

Affordability of health care, anyone?
Cost of living? As in inflation?

The misguided multicultural ideas of governments over the past 60 years are starting to reach a head. The inner race prejudices are the worst of all, followed by continent prejudices. Ghettos have been formed and built with government planning and are in some instances now no go areas. I believe it is impossible now to rectify this.

Sadly incidences like this as well as gang warfare, thieving sprees, drug dealing, protection rackets, prostitution, violence, torture and murder will be everyday things that we will all have to put up with regardless of where we live.

Peckham protests illustrate the redundancy of ‘Bame’
Tensions between non-white minorities have been persistently ignored

Following footage circulating online of a black woman accused of theft being physically restrained by a male Asian-heritage shopkeeper in the south-east London district of Peckham, the matter of community cohesion in England’s diverse inner cities has once again been thrust into the spotlight.

Tense community relations between elements of Britain’s wider Asian and black populations are nothing new. The 2005 Birmingham riots — specifically in the relatively deprived Lozells and Handsworth areas — were primarily between people of Pakistani origin and Black Caribbean heritage. The riots were sparked following rumours that a teenage black girl had allegedly been gang-raped by a group of Pakistani-heritage men in a beauty parlour. The unsubstantiated whispers were presented as fact by two pirate radio stations, contributing towards a major escalation. The riots were connected to two fatalities: 23-year-old Isaiah Young-Sam and teenager Aaron James.

However, much like south-east London in the present, there were simmering tensions between Asian-origin business owners and local black residents in Birmingham. The acquisition of many local businesses by Asian-origin entrepreneurs had reportedly unsettled members of African-Caribbean communities, and this was exacerbated by complaints of mistreatment against Asian-heritage business owners by black customers. Those who ran the enterprises responded by accusing members of the African-Caribbean community of envy for their socioeconomic progress and ownership of assets. More serious allegations included theft, with one Pakistani-heritage shopkeeper referring to black people as “the lowest of the low”.

Fast forward to September 2023 and virtually identical dynamics have taken root in south-east London — racial friction based on socioeconomic status and business ownership, a breakdown of shopkeeper-customer relations along ethnic lines, and a fundamental lack of neighbourhood policing enforcement to maintain public order. In places such as Peckham, the local black population comfortably outnumbers the Asian one, yet a significant number of small-to-medium-sized enterprises which cater to the former, wider demographic are owned by the latter.

Social interactions which could optimistically be viewed as opportunities to build trust and mutual respect between groups have instead been rendered toxic by an intensifying competition of resources, ethnic prejudice, and growing business-customer resentment. This is worsened by the absence of a well-respected model of neighbourhood policing which covers areas with a high concentration of street shops.

The latest events in Peckham highlight the utterly redundant nature of the “Bame” acronym, which tends to mask the reality that some of the sharpest social fault lines in modern Britain do not involve the white-British mainstream at all. A report published in August 2020 by Hope Not Hate found that twice as many so-called “Bame” respondents agreed (40%) than disagreed that there is more tension between Britain’s minority communities, when compared with those between white and non-white populations.

This was followed by a February 2021 HJS-ICM study which found that black British respondents were more likely to have an unfavourable view of Pakistani-, Bangladeshi-, and Indian-heritage people (11.2%, 11.1%, and 8.7% respectively) than white Britons (7.9%).

While apparently progressive politicians in the inner cities continue to repeat empty platitudes such as “diversity is our strength”, the failure to integrate ethnically diverse communities carries significant risks to public order. This threat is further complicated by ethnic differences in socio-economic status and the de facto decriminalisation of low-level crime in many urban areas.

Social and economic tensions in Peckham between non-white communities does not constitute a recent phenomenon. Rather, these serve as yet another reminder of the complexities of modern Britain and the fact that diversity is by no means an unadulterated good. As it stands, far too many in positions of national and local leadership are sleeping at the wheel.

Several journalists in the UK have blamed (and I kid you not) 'White Supremacy' for the violence between blacks and Pakistanis/Indians (which are called 'Asians in the UK).

This is where the real violence is already erupting. In England its blacks vs. Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Koreans, Chinese, Eastern Europeans, etc.

In America its blacks fighting with every race except for white liberals (which blacks happily victimize).

All this, and the Pakistani store owner will still be convicted and jailed; his family financially ruined.
