Vance said, Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies.

He should still be alive today.

And he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Right.

So there's a lot of things going on in that sentence, but it's right at the heart.

of not just the way that JD Vance thinks about the world, I suspect the way that a lot of the far right in Britain think about the world, and a lot of the way the AFD think about the world.

So let's just break that down, right?

What is he actually saying there?

So the first thing is this claim, the mass invasion of migrants, right?

This happens because the mass invasion of migrants.

Presumably what he means is Henry Nowak would still be alive if Vikram Digwa wasn't living in the United Kingdom, I guess is the claim, right?

many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Is he saying Vikram Digba despise the West and the people who love it, or just many migrants despise the West and the people who love it?

And then the last few generations of European elite, if they'd stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred, Henry would still be alive.

What does that mean?

How would that have saved Henry's life if European elites had stood their ground against

self-hatred.

And there seem to be two different claims being made here.

One of them is a very straightforward, we don't like this guy because he's not white and he killed a white person.

And the second is this claim that if it were not for anti-racism policy, DEI, we wouldn't have had this horrible scene of the police responding unsympathetically towards Henry and taking Vikram Digwa's side of the argument before they arrested Digwa.
