Dysgenics is real. Where once stood proud cities that produced the Industrial Revolution now stand post-industrial wastelands filled with dead-eyes people devoid of hope or ambition. The brain drain to the south is/was real and has left the genetic dregs in its wake.

It was not always like this. In Manchester, Liverpool and other northern cities & towns you can see the remains of former ambition. Not everyone with brains fled to London. Some built city halls, public libraries, academies, municipal works.. for the good of their fellow townsmen

But the descendants of those Victorians are like cockroaches scrambling in the ruins of a once great civilisation they no longer understand. The city halls are now temples to Bioleninist bureaucracy, the libraries now victim centres, the factories gone.

Now, anybody with an ounce of intelligence or ambition leaves the north for London or elsewhere. You can’t blame them. There is nothing left here for them. Only crabs who will pull them back into the barrel. And this brain drain shows.

No longer do the educated northerners who leave invest back in the towns they left. They’re embarrassed even by the “backwards, racist, proletarian” people they are one generation removed from and try to distance themselves as far away as possible: geographical & politically.

And why should they? Their towns and cities have failed them. The native stock no longer aspirational and fallen to despair. In many places even replaced completely by immigrants, refugees and aliens who are lauded by their elites as better citizens.

This dysgenic process has been existent for 100-200 years but it’s accelerating massively. The aspirational working class - once given hope by well-paying technical jobs and grammar schools - doesn’t exist anymore. Those who don’t leave, sink. And sink hard.

This week I have seen families, homes and communities that have determined unbelievably from just 10 years ago. Families that had reasonable homes and habits are now collapsing - literally, physically collapsing - as the rot quickens.
