Like most Americans, I hate HOAs. We\u2019ve all heard stories of Homeowner\u2019s Associations fining some veteran for flying an American flag in his yard or watched videos of some Karen or Biff playing the role of HOA cops.<\/p>

Read more Supreme Court rules that \u2018temporary\u2019 means temporary, \u2014 and the left has a cow<\/a><\/p>\n

But as much as a pain in the rear HOAs are, the reality is, most of the people who move into those communities do so, at least in part, because of<\/em> them. Why would someone subject themselves to the petty tyrannies of HOAs? Because they want a place with specific standards, and HOAs enforce them.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve lived in neighborhoods where people basically have junkyards in their front yards, others where the neighbors would party until all hours of the night, and one where an owner allowed her rottweilers to roam the neighborhood freely. Some people would say living under the rule of an HOA is an overreaction to such problems. Maybe, but the reality is I\u2019d prefer not having to confront unruly or antisocial neighbors on a regular basis. Such things affect not only the quality of life, but also home values.<\/p>\n

The funny thing is, sometimes choosing to live with an HOA is like living in a democratically governed country.<\/p>\n

John Locke understood this:<\/p>\n

\n

The only way whereby any one devests [sic] himself of his Natural Liberty, and puts on the bonds of Civil Society is by agreeing with other Men to joyn [sic] and unite into a Community, for their comfortable, safe, and peaceable living one amongst another, in a secure Enjoyment of their Properties, and a greater Security against any that are not of it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That is Western civilization. It exists because citizens entered into a bargain, a bond, in which they willingly gave up a sliver of their freedom to enjoy a fuller, more compelling life than they could have if they were forced to spend their entire lives defending themselves and their families against everyone else.<\/p>\n

But what happens when that bond is broken? When that government, the entire existence of which is based upon protecting the rights of citizens, ceases to fulfill its obligations, or worse, works against them?<\/p>\n

That is what we are seeing in most of the West today. It seems that everywhere we look, we see governments betray their citizens for the benefit of foreigners whose ancestors were never part of that original compact of compromise.<\/p>\n

The traditional way Westerners dealt with such failures was the ballot box. But what if that no longer works? Here, the left has rigged elections for decades, and their backstop against any reforms is a treasonous federal judiciary.<\/p>\n

In Europe, the EU, doing its best Henry II (\u201cWill no one rid me of this turbulent priest?\u201d) by encouraging member governments to sideline or eliminate any candidate or party that might fix their failures. What\u2019s more, it forces member nations to import and support millions of the very immigrants who are so much of the problem in the first place. And in the UK, which exited the EU to escape Brussels\u2019 tentacles, the government sacrificed 250,000 English girls to Muslim men while Brits face jail for talking about it.<\/p>\n

This is not sustainable, and I think it will lead to bloody civil war in numerous states across the West. It won\u2019t be quick, and it won\u2019t be clean.<\/p>\n

In Europe, the danger is Islam. It has waited too long to react, and now there is no Charles Martel or John Sobieski to rescue it. With Tours and Vienna, the enemy was external, and the battle lines were easy to see. Today, however, across the continent, they are not.<\/p>\n

In Germany, it\u2019s said that even the leftist PM understands they can\u2019t build a professional army because there would be too many Muslim men involved, and no one wants to give them weapons. Muslims are today anywhere from mid-single digits to above 10% in virtually every Western European country. They rarely assimilate, even after generations, but they are nonetheless very much woven into the economies, from Uber drivers to hotel maids to waiters to bodega owners and more. The more they grow, the more they push Islam and Sharia.<\/p>

But I don\u2019t think this civil war will start with groups of vigilantes going around targeting Muslims. I think the catalyst will be governments jailing anyone who says things or posts things counter to the \u201cDiversity is our Strength\u201d propaganda. It\u2019s been going on in the UK for years.<\/p>\n

As a result, many white Brits don\u2019t care about being called racists. They\u2019re recognizing their government is actively siding with third-world invaders against them. And in a man bites dog event, a Scottish man recently attacked five Muslims with a knife in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

Such events may become more common and worse. The result will be the government cracking down even more on anyone who even thinks something outside the \u201cDiversity\u201d orthodoxy. Eventually, those who refuse to bend will become guerrillas in their own country. But they\u2019ll be crushed. With the surveillance tools available to governments today, and the dearth of weapons in private hands, those holdouts don\u2019t stand a chance.<\/p>\n

The government will use the violence as a pretext to eliminate potential opponents at the voting booth. In doing so, it will steadily move Britain towards the globalist, anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-Western, and anti-capitalist position that we\u2019re told is fake news.<\/p>\n

That British script will be followed by most of the governments in Western Europe. Before the middle of this century, I\u2019d suggest the UK and most Western European nations will become de facto members of a modern caliphate, as the above scenario plays itself out in country after country. It won\u2019t mean that Muslims will be an absolute majority; they won\u2019t be. But then they don\u2019t have to be.<\/p>\n

Why? Because by forming coalitions with the useful idiot leftists, they\u2019ll control all the positions of power, including, and most importantly, the judicial, security, and law enforcement sectors. By the end of the century, Islam will be the dominant, if not the only, religion left in most of Europe. Between forced conversions and birthrates, Christianity and Judaism will likely disappear. And with them will go Western heritage and culture.<\/p>\n

But what about on this side of the pond? Thankfully, we have a First Amendment, and more importantly, a Second Amendment. While the left has sought to eviscerate both, my guess is that enough armed Americans still value actual freedom and liberty that they won\u2019t allow the country to go down without a fight.<\/p>\n

Here, the problem is not only Islam but a coalition of misfits plus tens of millions of illegals. As we\u2019re seeing in New York right now, Muslims are partnering with the useful idiots on the left to take power…<\/p>\n

But America is not Europe. As Europe moves inexorably towards a caliphate future that so differs from the Western tradition, Americans are beginning to awaken to the danger that Islam and the coalition of misfits pose to our civilization. They will push back hard, both at the ballot box and beyond.<\/p>\n

Sadly, I think it may end up getting bloody here, too. But at the end of the day, unlike our European friends, I don\u2019t think Americans will willingly trade their imperfect Republic for a third-world dystopia, whether pushed by Muslims, the horde of invaders from the south, or the not-so-useful idiots of the American left.<\/p>\n

Think of America as a big HOA, and instead of Karen and Biff in charge, we have Rambo and Dirty Harry at the end of our driveway…<\/p>
