I get it. It's sunk cost fallacy.

Imagine holding a belief so deeply that it informs your every decision. At first, with some help from the mainstream media and academia, you're able to convince yourself that it's working; the economy is good, you've got exotic food and, gosh darn it, you just feel like a good person.

And the sacrifice isn't much. Maybe you don't like all the food, but you put up with it. Certain people act weird but they're new, they'll learn. You aren't allowed to celebrate your own culture in public places anymore, but we can celebrate every culture instead. You're willing to make those sacrifices becasue you're a good person.

Then it escalates. Half the grocery store is filled with inedible foreign slop. Ethnic gangs talk shit as you walk by in languages you don't understand. Every culture but yours is celebrated; yours is actively attacked by your own media and government. But surely that isn't the fault of these newcomers? The government just isn't doing enough to help them integrate. We'll just sacrifice a few billion dollars here and there for acclimation programs.

Now we're here. Your kids don't learn math because they don't understand the teacher's accent. There are "no go" zones where people like you aren't welcome. Your culture is gone outside of a few fanatics. Courts openly favour anyone who isn't like you.

What's easier? Continuing to blame the government and minimizing your own destruction? Or admitting that you aren't a good person, were never a good person, and were in fact tricked?

This is Western Izzat. Our "face" is tolerance. We cannot admit that we are wrong and, if anyone else does, it shames us to the point where we have to eliminate them.
