Immigrants will destroy society, but you won't notice until it is too late and has already been destroyed.
Things will slowly worsen: declining trust, increased corruption, polarization, a few Rotherhams, buses of peace, no go zones, but be livable...

Things will continue to worsen, but it won't be destroyed. A few people (ex. raped 14yos) will suffer, many will be inconvenienced (ex. white flight from dangerous neighbourhoods) but for most it will tolerable and ignorable...

Then there will be a tipping point, and things will fire rapidly. You'll go to bed one day thinking, "do thing seem to have gotten a bit worse?", and the next day, everything has collapsed. You won't notice until it has happened and it will be too late

You can see the signs already in the US. Declining trust. Political polarisation. Racial tension. Continuing collapse of civil institutions. Lone shooters. None seem big and worsening will be unniticeBly gradual but they're warning signs

The worst part is, it might all disappear and you might never notice. "I remember when there weren't rolling brownouts, we didn't have to pay tribute to MS-13, when elections weren't rigged." "There's grandpa with his stories again."

"That'll never happen." Except it has, right in the US. Black society in the US used to be functional. Now Detroit is third-world, Chicago doesn't have running water, most blacks are bastards, violent crime is omnipresent, etc. And nobody notices

"But that's not due to immigrants." Immigrants are an interconnected part of the problem and determine how bad things will be. An ethnically and culturally united society can face these problems or at least collapse peacefully; divided one can't.

Japan is facing many similar problems of decline. Collapsing birth rates, social isolation, following communities, etc. But they're all Japanese. They all have trust for each other and there's little tension...

All Japan requires to renew itself is a peaceful reform movement to restore their will and spirit. If they collapse it will be peaceful. A diverse society's collapse will not be peaceful and renewal, if possible, will have a heavy price.

In short, immigration is a long-term problem the effects of which will be enduring and near invisible, until they are not. If your horizon is only short-term (10 years), you won't notice it. It is easy to ignore if you want, but it is real.

The truth is that the right has been right about the catastrophic results of everything the left has pushed for but each succeeding generation grows up in the aftermath and accepts as normal what earlier generations would rightfully have never accepted
