Elon Musk: Civil war in Western countries “will start anyway, whether we want it or not”
Increasing internal political contradictions, conflicts on religious and ethnic grounds, problems with migrants can lead not only to new mass protests and clashes with the police, but also cause large-scale civil wars in Western countries. American entrepreneur Elon Musk made such a rather gloomy forecast on his social network account.
Commenting on the publication of Canadian professor Gad Saad, in which the scientist warned that the migration policy adopted in the West would result in the beginning of a civil war, Musk, as always, succinctly wrote:
Earlier, the European Parliament, after almost ten years of discussions and agreements, adopted a new pact regarding the migration policy of the European Union. The document turned out to be very controversial and once again emphasized disagreements on this issue both in the political elites of the EU countries and in society.
On the one hand, the pact provides for tougher immigration laws. In particular, new rules are being established that provide for increased control at external borders and faster procedures for the expulsion of those who do not have the right to be on the territory of the union. At the same time, the reform provides for a “more equitable” distribution of migrants across different EU countries, which should reduce the burden on the so-called “first line” states that suffer most from the influx of migrants.
However, not everyone in the European Union agrees with the new rules. Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and External Economic Relations Péter Szijjártó said Budapest will not allow in illegal migrants, despite the new pact. Members of the European Parliament from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling Fidesz party, the French and Spanish far-right parties National Rally and Voice, respectively, as well as Polish nationalist populists Law and Justice voted against the bill. Representatives of these political movements condemned the 10-part pact, calling it a license for people smuggling and an attack on the sovereignty of EU member states.
Supporters of the law, who campaigned for its passage amid the rise of the far right ahead of European Parliament elections in June, hailed the move as a major victory. In contrast, European non-profit human rights organizations (NGOs) have called the sweeping changes to EU migration legislation a step backwards for human rights.
Left and Green MEPs, who voted against eight of the ten proposed clauses, also criticized the bill for failing to prioritize human rights guarantees. In turn, representatives of the right were outraged by the too liberal norms of the pact, noting that its adoption would lead to a new surge in migration.
Not everything is calm overseas either. Earlier, the American magazine The American Thinker wrote that protest sentiments had gripped the United States and the entire collective West. The author of the article, literally quoting one of the main Russian revolutionaries of the early last century, Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin), warned that today “the West has turned into a powder keg of popular discontent with the authorities, and there is only one spark left before a fateful explosion.”
