Moving house is one of the most stressful events in a person’s life, for a multitude of reasons. Moving house is bad enough, but imagine if you don’t yet have the second property secured, imagine you are waiting on the periphery of the EU’s or the USA’s borders—the anxiety, fear and tension (caused by moving house) is massively amplified.
Most who move city to city or town to village within their homeland often complain about the experience, yet they are rarely motivated to relocate by violence, war and conflict and would never say they are afraid they will come to harm during the relocation—things refugees have to contend with in addition to the regular psychological fallout caused by the house move.
Refugee camps are dangerous places because apathy, depression, desperation, hate, anxiety, fear and frustration fester and dwell there. Refugees are far more afraid of one another than they are of foreign police officers or border guards. Refugee-on-refugee rape, violence, intimidation, exploitation and abuse of every kind is the greatest cause of suffering to refugees. The examples are too many to cite, with this growing problem (*belligerent migration) on the borders of many nations and unions only seeming to benefit those who are ruthless and hard enough (or lacking sufficient empathy) to exploit the weak, desperate and vulnerable.
*I use the term belligerent migration after comparing the modern migration tactics we observe in 2023 compared with historical migrations. For instance, if the first European settlers in North America had demanded entry (or else), demanded free housing, protection and healthcare and rights of every kind including the right to vote as they wore balaclavas and hurled large rocks at the faces of the native chiefs and their sons and daughters, the country known as the USA would not exist in 2023 because the indigenous peoples of North America would have reacted to such belligerency and pressure with the tomahawk.
The Europeans may have argued, ‘But we have suffered in the past, we can’t (we don’t want to) go back. You must forgive our rock throwing and our insistence that you should keep us and protect us and provide for us in every way because although we have just run away from one nation, it does not mean we will run away from this new nation. If the going gets tough, we will make our final stand here with you as soon as you embrace multiculturalism and liberal tolerance and change.’
The indigenous North Americans would have empathised with the belligerent foreigners, they may have truly desired to offer temporary assistance to them, but it would have been clear that the rock throwing and the massing at the borders and the thousands of separate incursions into the territory by groups of foreigners both small and large meant only one thing—that the newcomers would never integrate. They would never conform, would reject the tepee and erect houses instead, which they would guard with rifles and the Bible and then nuclear weapons, whilst the native culture and faith and blood were walled up in reservations far away.
An interesting Finnish study into the negative mental health effects of migrating during wartime (the study focused upon WWII in Finland) suggests that not only do incoming refugees/economic migrants develop mental illnesses serious enough to cause hospitalisation as a result of migration (those who remained in Finland during the war were found to have fewer mental illnesses) but also the native refugees who flee (native flight) upon being surrounded by waves of mass immigration will certainly also.
Applying the findings of the large and comprehensive Finnish study we see that, similarly, the native population becomes sufficiently changed via epigenetics to cause not only depression and self-harm (suicide is the leading cause of death in the UK for native men under the age of 50), but also it is the certain cause of increased self-medication via alcohol and drugs and a myriad of other self-destructive means to soothe those who have been displaced by incoming refugees and economic migrants.
We observe the same mental illnesses and alcoholism and drug abuse in Australian indigenous communities as we observe in Native American indigenous communities, as we also observe in indigenous British communities that have fled from mass immigration and refugees to enclaves in Northern England.
It is a serious problem ignored by most, a problem that is fuelling the rise in mass native suicide, increasing domestic violence and increasing crime and depression and apathy. This explains why Brexit occurred; what the uneducated call xenophobia and prejudice is in actuality the natural knowingness that epigenetics will cause mental illness and malaise and nihilism upon the occasion the majority suddenly become a displaced minority—as in the case of the native Australians, the Native Americans and the native British working class.
I would recommend all who have an interest in epigenetics and who desire to reduce mental illness in all communities, especially the native poor communities and the foreign communities that continue the practice of inbreeding, which is fraught with danger (this is another leading cause of a spike in avoidable mental illnesses springing up in the West), to read the Finnish study in question. It is independent and has nothing to do with immigration or refugees but everything to do with human beings and facts. If you ignore facts and epigenetics and science, it can only mean that you don’t care about people, or at least it means you don’t care about poor natives.
The Finnish study in question was led by Matti Pirinen from the University of Helsinki, Finland, who, along with his colleagues, looked at the genomes of circa 18,500 people to study how the genetic composition of ten populations across twelve geographic regions covering most of Finland changed between 1923 and 1987.
The study has been covered within the New Scientist, Newsweek and other mainstream publications, with the Newsweek article titled, ‘Children of World War II Evacuees Were Hospitalized for Mental Illnesses Passed Down From Traumatized Parents’ and the article in the New Scientist titled ‘Effects of Finnish evacuation during second world war visible in DNA’. I cover the interesting topic of epigenetics in greater depth in the companion work to this book, The Sudden and Unexpected Multiculturalisation of Mayfair, Kensington and Belgravia, Which Ended Mass Immigration and White Flight in the UK.
