Till the Second World War, the world or countries were conquered by the
use of military might. It was all about superiority in technology and
military weapons. Countries that were relatively small could conquer
countries many times their size in land and people. All the European
powers were small countries relative to Africa, the two Americas and
even countries like India and China. But they ruled the world and built
empires that lasted for several hundred years.
After the WW2, the two remaining superpowers of USSR and the USA
attempted to continue to rule the world with military might. This time
they were not so successful. The East European bloc under the USSR broke
up with the breaking up of the Soviet Union. The Americans fought
several wars in Asia and the Middle East and were defeated or unable to
subdue the invaded countries. The Soviet Union left in defeat in
Afghanistan, the Americans held on with some residual forces in Japan
and South Korea but were bitterly thrashed in Vietnam, a poor and much
smaller country. The Americans are still trying to rule the Middle East
and northern African but finding it increasingly difficult as long as
the people are willing to die fighting the Americans.
Unable to make further headways, the American’s are shifting their
military targets into Asia hoping to fight another war using their
allies as proxies. This new development is still work in progress
starting with the American pivot and is doing fine with Japan, India,
Vietnam and the Philippines happily on board in this bandwagon of war.
The story is unfolding rapidly with tension rising and flashed points
increasing.
There is yet another war going on quietly, to conquer the world. In this
new warfare, it is not about military might and using extreme force and
power. It is a sublime infiltration of people, through migration and
population. This is a new war conducted by the poor nations, the so
called Third World to occupy and conquer the rich and powerful First
World, without firing a shot, and with the unannounced acquiescence and
compliance of the First World countries. The migrants are invited to
populate the rich countries and to eventually swarm and take over the
countries by sheer numbers.
The remarkable thing about this new conquest of the world by the poor
Third World and apparently helpless and less able people is that it is
inevitable. The First World countries are not reproducing themselves and
are inviting the Third World people to replace them, willingly though
grudgingly and with certain amount of contempt. They, the First World
countries, believe that they needed the numbers from the Third World to
fill up the gaps and for economic growth, and nothing else. They did not
count on the consequences in the long run when they become the minority
or the sheer numbers and integration of the migrants would make the
takeover of their countries unnoticeable and seamless.
A good example is Singapore, a small island with a small population that
can easily be replaced by foreigners. And because of its unique
multicultural history of migrants, the new migrants would become
citizens and leaving no traces of the origins. And it is only a matter
of time when the majority of the island will be new migrants. And the
best part, the govt sees this as good, as a new formula to sustain
economic growth and the viability of the city state. In one generation,
the Singaporean core, the original Singaporeans from the year of
Independence will become a minority in the island and in two generations
they would probably be lost in a sea of new citizens and be extinct
like the dodo birds or like many of the native flora and fauna in the
island.
The Third World people will conquer the world and rule the New World
without having to fight a world war. They are welcomed to take over by
the more intelligent and more industrious First World inhabitants.
Europe and the USA will go along in a matter of time, without knowing
it.
Extinction and replacement is just nature at work. Nothing to be alarmed about. Everyone has a shot at their place in the sun -- but it is temporary. A "replacement" will appear in time, and the past is the past...within a few generations, it is forgotten by most and is only of interest to scholars of history.
ReplyDeleteSingapore is in flux. With new genetic material in the environment, you can rest assured on change. Those who cannot keep up, will be replaced.
"Conquest" is the default outcome for a social species like humankind. We like forming large groups. This aids individual and group survival -- from division of labour, specialization, redundancy, markets -- of ideas, of goods and services, of personal relationships etc.
But groups either cooperate or are hostile toward each other. So the US is forming a "big group" to dominate and probably occupy territories held by "other groups". This is nothing new. History is written in human warfare. Hostility and conflict in humanity is part of our collective nature.
Got "embrace nature"?
"And it is only a matter of time when the majority of the island will be new migrants."

New migrants or not, Sinkies are also not reproducing themselves what.
So PAP think it is better to have more people with new migrants than to have less and less Sinkies, tio bo?
More people means higher GDP and more pay increase and bonuses for Sinkie PAP ministers what.
Which Sinkie don't want more pay and bonuses?
Very insightful.
ReplyDeleteWe have to ask ourselves what is the one-way reserve for? We are sacrificing our current benefits for the future replacement's benefit. Are we really that daft?
Its true that you do not need a war to conquer another country. Just ask the muslims in Europe. They are producing faster than rabbits but the locals are doing the same as Sinkies i.e. not producing. Its a matter of few more decades where the population of Muslim would over take that of locals be it British or French. By virtue of the voting system, majority will rule. I foresee all European leaders in th future are Muslim. That is the fact of life my friend.
ReplyDeleteA shitty times pro-anglo saxon snr writer John Macbeth said China sparks rekindling US-Philippines love affair !!
ReplyDeleteás usual the angle is coming from a English perspective, often favouring a pro-Anglo-saxon western sphere in this part of the world.
as envisaged in that article,
Advanced jet like f-35, f-22 and
B2 bombers would fly out Australia Tindal base, Spore Changi, Thailand Nakhon Ratchasima,and at the possibbly Cubi Point near of Pinoy palawan currently talks are on-going
how many in this region could afford the f-35 squadron and the endless military exercise?
That's why we are 新加坡
ReplyDelete新 as in new immigrants
加 as in adding more and more foreigners
坡 so that we become a city of new additions.
Is Singapore a country?
ReplyDeleteGood question. It is looking like a piece of private property and going to the highest bidder without the citizens'consent.
ReplyDeleteIt is like a private company.
DeleteIt has always been like that. The wealth of the rich and unrighteous will end up in the hands of the poor. Want to defy the nature?
ReplyDeleteAmerica, China, Europe and Russia (ACER in short) should work together and conquer the world to improve the ordinary people lives all over the world. Those ordinary people under greedy and ruthless regimes will benefit most from this.
