I’m going to tell you what “the next big thing” is going to be.
I’m going to tell you because I want you to be prepared for it.
I know what it is, not because I have the power to look into the future, but because I know how the left thinks. And if you know how the left thinks, it’s obvious.
Are you ready?
Critical Immigration Theory.
No, not Critical Race Theory, CRT. Critical Immigration Theory, C-I-T.
Let me explain.
After George Floyd died in May 2020, the left unleashed Critical Race Theory upon America. It had been floating around academic circles for decades, but the Floyd incident—thanks to the left-leaning media—brought it into the mainstream.
The idea behind Critical Race Theory was that virtually every aspect of American life is now, and always has been, determined by systemic racism. The true founding of America was in 1619 when the first slaves arrived, slave labor built the country, America got rich by exploiting black people, and so on.
The view on the left is you either accept this theory, or you’re a racist.
Critical Colonial Theory sees the world as a product of colonial exploitation. Europeans got rich by taking advantage of weaker countries in Africa, Asia, and South America.
You either accept this theory or, again, you’re a racist.
Critical Feminist Theory sees the world as the product of the exploitation of women.
You either accept this theory, or you’re a sexist.
Getting the hang of it?
Critical Theory applied to mass illegal immigration will follow the same formula. It will start from a human rights perspective—having compassion for the poor and oppressed people of the world.
But that’s not what it’s really about. It’s really about targeting national citizenship and national sovereignty using mass illegal immigration as a wedge.
We’re already hearing some of the language. The New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, NPR, ABC, CBS, NBC have, over the last few years, migrated from “illegal aliens” to “illegal immigrants” to “undocumented migrants” to just “migrants.”
They won’t stop there.
“Undocumented Americans” comes next. And after that, as with “migrants,” no adjective at all.
In other words, people who enter the United States illegally are just as American as any American citizen.
By this way of thinking, national citizenship is merely a social construct (everything is a social construct to the left) that keeps migrants from accessing what is rightfully theirs—all the rights and privileges of an American citizen.
Why is it “rightfully theirs”?
First, because you as an American wouldn’t have all this wealth if you hadn’t exploited these poor people for the last hundred years. So, you owe them.
Second, it’s heartless to turn away people from other countries who are fleeing poverty, drug lords, and corrupt governments. After all, America is largely responsible for these countries being in such bad shape. They’d be doing just fine if we hadn’t screwed them up.
Traditional laws of national citizenship and traditional beliefs in national borders do not recognize these obvious “truths.” They are, therefore, regressive and unjust and must be done away with.
Do you think I’m exaggerating?
It’s already happening.

Illegals are the same as those people who just take over your house, live in it and the police can’t get them out.
This is soooo WRONG!
Thanks for bringing this to light. No wonder Poland and Hungry have kept their boarders closed to illegal immigrants
You could have quoting directly from Bible prophecy which was written thousands of years ago, most specifically Daniel and Revelation. One world religion and one world govt. Spot on.
Critical Conservation Theory.
Stop being afraid of being called a racist. It' just a strategy to silence and intimidate .
bible prophecy fulfilled
YES! THIS IS THE FUTURE! Why can’t we all just be human and understanding?
I’m in the left and half of this shit I swear ur just making up about us😂 literally the only one of these theories I’ve ever even HEARD of is critical race theory. Plus we (or at least me and the ppl I know) aren’t going to call you names if you don’t know about this stuff. Who tf ever said they want the entire world to be one nation under one government??😂 Thats tyrannical as hell. Also we know you can’t just “pRinT mOrE mOnEy”
Deport immediately. Worry about "fair" later, like 100 years later.
Start putting the country’s legal citizens first instead of second or third
CIT is most visible in border studies.
vote republican!
I have lived in Asia for quite some time, but I do have a cousin, much younger than me, who holds dual citizenship. When the time came to choose which citizenship to relinquish, Indonesia was an easy decision for him. He has told me several times that, although the USA isn't perfect, the opportunities it offers are incomparable to those in other countries. These opportunities have been built through the hard work of its citizens, yet now, some of these same citizens seem to want to take them for granted and give them away.
I don't understand the logic. Why do these 'wealthy' people continue to act in such a ungrateful manner?
Have your ever think about how lucky you are to be living in the arguably best and free country in the whole world
5 minutes or 30 years??? ILLEGAL??? DEPORT!!!
Slavery wasnt significant in the success of the US. What was significant was Western capitalism, technology, industrialisation, and law.
Many European countries never had slavery or even colonies, but became just as rich per capita as the US —- Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland. And some of the countries that had the biggest empires and the most slaves — Spain, Portugal —- are now among the less prosperous Europeans. Brazil had 3X the number of slaves as the US but is still much lower GDP per capita.
Marxism-Leniniism applied to immigration.
Stop denying racism! We’ve been bulldozed into a corner, exclaiming our innocence. Not me. I am a racist. There is no other way to live in 2024. It’s us against them. They have even captured our government and courts. So, just admit it. I am white. They are not.
Sounds okay to me
My dude none of us can prevent this America deliberately goes to this country and to destabilize it to create Mass Exodus they're doing it for the exact reason America goes into this country though they're not perfect and to de stabilize and deliberately to create Mass immigration because they're deliberately systematically trying to change the racial makeup of the country it is what it is I don't make a big deal about it anymore there's nothing none of us can do about it if my life didn't get destroyed I probably wouldn't even care yes America is committing genocide on white people and their excuses the things that white people have done to others in the past
I am looking forward to this brand new world!
Don't forget that the One World Government will be "led" by the "smart people". And they ain't talkin' about you. Or me.
I really appreciate the effort you put into these topics.
You’re soooo close to getting it yet so far away
The left has lost its mind.
God Bless America!
Canada is in even worse shape. Evil… as every country has different values as a people. You can pretend that the values are the same, but it is all just a fake… Crime, drugs, respect, etc… all have changed dramatically in a very short space of time – 20years.
Trump trump trump ^o^
The countries are being invaded by other countries. The army, navy, air force and marines are to protect against this. The U.S failed to protect their border publicly to the world and look like a complete embarrassment. It would of been better if they all put Tampons up their butts and drank bud light.
ANTI-WHITE RACISM IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY!
If they label you … just say YES… and ask them 'now what'? Be MORE inflexible, closed minded and biased than they are !!! You'll never convince that type of person anything, so why even bother! Remind them stick and stones, and if they're violent, get it on Camera and ask the DA to call it a 'Hate Crime' based on Race and pursue a Civil Case.
Well, they're not wrong, USA and the West generally is a big parasite. But I'm pretty sure all this migrant theme is nothing more than a tool, to win the elections once, or at least to make an excuse later, when they will cheat it. And "world with one government, without restrictions" basically just means "one tyranny, our tyranny, and nothing more anywhere". Parasite just want everyone to feed him (and to create useless "possibilities" for to eat more, yeah, spend more for to spend even more), and then to flee to the Mars or whatever their successors will be dreaming about – I doubt that current parasites do care, what will be after them. Try to oppose it, and parasites getting angry, like everyone owe them or something.
E.g., Germany was buying cheap Russian gas. Russia didn't attacked anyone, didn't wanted to start or to influence with it, country just enjoyed selling its resources for a dirt cheap price, and investing in a better life conditions. Germany also was ok with it, cheap gas means cheap warmth, electricity, products. More than that, Germany is a part of "globalists". But no, UK and USA decided that Germany should buy only their gas, a liquefied gas of the USA that costs so much, even just using it in the place they've got it will be not worth the cost – so you need to sell it somewhere ten times the price. So they blown the pipe, and started the war. No cheap gas for the Germany anymore.
Funny enough, but Russia is not "oppressed" in the eyes of liberals, strongly opposite. Neither Germany is.
Also, parasite was already eating up on Russia, but then wanted to eat some other parasite too. Global government, lol. Those idiots will fight with even an own brother, what government they're talking about? It will crush and separate like the Ancient Rome, if it even possible to create.
I'm glad they're at least very stupid and inbreed, or it would be a hell on Earth already.
⛔ THE NEXT DESTRUCTION-STRATEGY BY THE LEFT ❗ The Left HATING on NATIVES, YOUR NATIVE COUNTRY, YOUR PEOPLE, YOUR CULTURE, CHRISTIANITY, JUDAISM AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH ⛔
Cloward-Pevin were talking about collapsing the global economy by over burdening the welfare state in the 1950s…that's the only way they can rebuild a one world wage
I don't accept any of those communist, anti Western civilization garbage fantasies.
It does not only to the USA but to Europe where the problems coming with it are already overwhelming the states. They have „ imported“ so many intruders from mostly Arabic countries…. It will be difficult to get rid of them again. This is where a constructed theory and believe in a just and better world actually has the opposite outcome for most individuals. The world will be become more dangerous, poor, tribalistic and backwards. But this does not bother there’s „intellectuals“ because they think they will be on the „elitist“ side of the world that emerges from that big change. It could be that this assumption will be wrong as well and they rather end up hanging on some tree then …. 😮. It seems that history is unpredictable and humanity will change from good to bad and back again …. It is an endless up and down game.
Of course not
The longer l live (I'm 82) the less I'm convinced by do-gooder slogans. Now l believe travel NARROWS the mind. The human race is tribal. It's heartless to impose large numbers of aliens on host populations.
This is how the communists took over China and booted all opposing people to Taiwan. True Americans of the United States need to stop this crap!
It's unfair to those who enter the country legally .
Don't blame the politicians. Blame yourselves. The sheep in The West who vote for them.
thats not what any of those theories explains and its not a "yes or no" answer either…
Anti-white. Anti-Christian. Anti-straight. Anti-male. Anti-legal immigration. Anti-traditional marriage.
Do we need to hear more? The left is trying to destroy this country and steal all it’s prosperity. It’s not just bad ideas, it’s dangerous ones with HEAVY consequences.
Unfortunately the alternative is Donald Trump which is worse.
No freebies for people who cross borders. They got themselves here, they can earn their way just like everyone else. And no leniency for people who hire them and don't pay taxes.
I'd rather be called a racist than accept any of that absurdity
Maybe I should come to America? I live America? But of course I would be illegal and evicted because I’m white. But without bekeerd there can’t be a welfare state. So we may as well reduce taxes to onky build roads because we don’t need to pay for welfare, healthcare and pensions because otherwise we’d be paying for others and never get to use it ourselves because they are overused.
