Afterwards she and her radical Muslim boyfriend Bakhtiar Mohammed Abdulla, 29, took a long-bladed kitchen knife and stabbed her mother Tina Römer Holtegaard at least 20 times at the home they shared in rural Kvissel.
A court which sentenced [Lisa] Borch to nine years in jail heard how she became obsessed with militant Islam after falling in love with an unnamed Muslim man.
But he jilted her when he moved back to Sweden to be with his wife and children.
Nevertheless she found a new soulmate in Iraq-born Abdulla, whom she befriended after meeting at a refugee centre near her home.
Following the brutal murder, in which both Borch and Abdulla participated, the teenager called police claiming: ‘I heard my mother scream and I looked out the window and saw a white man running away. Please come here, there is blood everywhere.’
On arrival police found Mrs Holtegaard, whose husband was away on a short business trip at the time of her murder, covered in her own blood in bed.
Often it is the extreme (nut)cases that best illustrate general social maladies. This story encapsulates most of the constituent elements of the decline and fall of European civilization.
(1) The wild age differentials. You don’t have to be one of those puritan freaks who would slam an eighteen year old’s life for having sex with someone like this at 14, but 29 and 15? That’s a bit too much, man. (Though admittedly just about legal in Denmark).
And the dude already has a wife and kids!
(2) The licentious, totally irresponsible sexual behavior of the lower half of the female bell curve under the banner of feminist empowerment.
Before, this was kept in check through familial, social, and legal strictures. Cavorting with a man double her age with that kind of name would have earned her a spanking, ostracism from the community, and maybe exile to a nunnery. But what is a single mother – she has a stepfather, but he appears to be otherwise absent from the story – to do to control a waywards 15 year old female teenager in a modern European state? Anything much beyond surly disapproval is child abuse, and will be treated as such by Scandinavia’s hyperactive social services. Trying to impart Christian values? Northern European Protestant clergymen make the Pope seem like a paragon of muscular Christianity.
As for society, suffice to say that to SJWs and even some self-styled conservatives, any man making these kinds of arguments is typically denigrated as a “weak” “loser” who is just bitter he “can’t get any,” while any woman who would nod her head to this is obviously under some kind of “false consciousness” foisted on her by the “patriarchy” since according to SJWs no woman who disagrees with them can possibly have any sort of independent agency.
As it is, her mother did try to check Lisa Borch’s self-destructive spiral and got murdered for her trouble.
(3) The avid documentation of all this degeneracy in Instagram, that social media platform most optimized for vapid attention whoring.
(4) All people seek some kind of truth, some absolute moral guidelines to live by. This impulse is much weaker amongst the intelligent, who tend to have the rational faculties and self-control to responsibly exercise freedom. But amongst the lower half of the bell curve, it is predominant.
The modern state has abdicated its responsibility to provide this truth, so people now reach out to all kinds of bizarre cults and ideologies to quench their anomie. This can take arguably positive and creative forms (e.g. transhumanism), or essentially harmless ones (e.g. the deerkin cult on Tumblr), or more malign forms such as the livid nihilism that best characterizes the social justice movement.
If there is one ideology that is most unaninimous and consistent in its insistence on having access to absolute truth, it is Islam.
Women specifically face even greater challenges to their sanity and good sense. That is because all women ultimately seek to submit to a strong man. (Higher IQ women are able to exercise more control over these impulses, while feminist women just have higher demands).
Osama bin Laden, whatever else you might think of him, was a redpilled, intelligent dude. And he said:
When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature, they will like the strong horse.
Hailing from cultures propagandized by Hollywood as far more virile and vibrant than Europe, unrestricted by European mores that encourage restraint in human relations, and freed from the requirement to “check their privilege” on account of their minority status, Muslims and Islamist males in particular are enabled to act the role of the strong horse.
And thus the dregs of society, bereft of the benign paternalism that would have kept them on the right path in older days, are now clamoring to place their bets against their own nations, culture, and – yes – race (Isn’t “I heard my mother scream and I looked out the window and saw a white man running away” very telling in this respect?).
From hip-hop to jihad, how the Islamic State became a magnet for converts
She was a redheaded rebel, the singer in the family, a trash-talking, tattooed 21-year-old wrapped up in a hip-hop dream of becoming Holland’s Eminem. Then Betsy found Allah.
After her sudden conversion to Islam last summer, Betsy — a name given by her family to protect her identity — began dressing in full Muslim robes. By January, the once-agnostic Dutch woman, raised in a home where the only sign of religion was a dusty Bible on a shelf, began defending homegrown terrorists. A feud with her father over her apparent radicalization prompted her to leave home — turning up days later, her parents and Dutch authorities now say, in Syria, where she would become the bride of an Islamic State fighter. …
The profiles of converts joining the Islamic State often mirror that of Betsy. The child of divorced parents, she dropped out of school by age 14, was busted for shoplifting by 16 and was struggling with a drug problem at one point.
I really do think I understand her. I mean, at some level, it’s a choice between a broken home, chronic degeneracy, and a world of cucked faggots in empty suits always reaching new heights in combining self-importance with impotence… or the swarthy alpha male youths they imported, whose brothers are blowing shit up and cutting the throats of those very empty suits in the eastern deserts.
Here’s a Heartiste meme that aptly illustrates this.
Not a hard choice deciding who’s the stronger horse here! At least, not for 100,000 Brits, most of them younger women!
(5) The legal system isn’t going to cut Lisa Borch’s throat, or even imprison her at least until she’s past her reproductive age. She got 9 years, which means she will be out at 24 years at the latest. Still good for a good 20 years or so of service as a brood mare in the Islamic State.
(6) These problems are most terminal in Western Europe, but its worth mentioning that not even relatively based Eastern European countries are immune to the cancer. Varvara Karaulova is one Russian example (who admittedly doesn’t fit the usual profile for these types – she went to Moscow State University, an elite institution, where she studied Arabic and became a bit too acculturated for her own good). In Ukraine, we have the prominent case of Vita Zaverukha, who ended up committing murders for the European ISIS otherwise known as the Banderite batallions of Aidar, Azov, etc. As the commentator Glossy put it (and diagnosed correctly):
What kind of parents let their 18 year-old DAUGHTER sign up with a death squad during time of war? You’ve got to realize that the junta never had more than 70k people figthing for it. That’s in a country of 40 million. All the caring, functional parents in the Ukraine have already sent their draft-age sons abroad or bought medical papers declaring them schizofrenic paraplegics.
This is what’s left. I’m going to diagnose a broken home and romantic involvement with a Banderite football hooligan/gangster wannabe.
Eastern Europe might not be strongly infected by the suicidal zeitgeist that has overtaken the West, but it suffers from the same social afflictions – broken homes, abdicated social and familiar responsibilities, etc. – that cause so many morally loose and less intelligent, future time orientated Europeans to bet on the wrong (because it is not ours) horse.
I would probably end my ramblings around here, were it not for a pithy remark from a commentator I saw on another article here.
Coates is a good fit here at Unz.
Good observations and analyses of the decline and fall and no practical suggestions on what to do about it.
You want practical suggestions? Here you go, from an atheist:
Only don’t forget to replace the Seven Pointed Star with a Cross or you’ll just get another weird cult.
What will be the endgame?
thats an excellent analysis. I am certain that this desire to be with the Alpha is the number one reason Europeans are pro-immigration and welcome refugees. But why do they hide it behind this ridiculous talk about compassion with the allegedly poor refugees?
Eastern Europe is not the same thing as Russia and Eastern Ukraine (which in terms of social problems, is much worse than Russia). Most of Eastern Europe does not have an epidemic of these social afflictions.
Poland’s divorce rate is 27%, compared to America’s 53% and Russia’s 51% (rates in Serbia, Croatia and Romania are like Poland’s or lower). Poland’s HIV rate is .1%, compared to America’s .6% and Russia’s 1.1%.
Western Ukraine is similar to Poland. Here is a map of % of children born out of wedlock by oblast for Ukraine:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/uk/0/07/UkrBitrhM.PNG
Note the dramatic difference that coincides with the old 1939 Soviet border. Out of wedlock births are as low as 6.3% in Ternopil oblast – lower than Uzbekistan.
This equivalence is just silly. Ignoring Russian propaganda about crucified children, Aidar, Azov et al are not in the same league as ISIS.
And there are far right psychopaths on both sides there. Consider psychopathic Rusich commander and former puppy beheader Milchakov:

That being said, there is probably something to the idea of a link between broken homes and participation in radical movements in Eastern Europe. While orderly Galicians may vote for nationalistic parties they fight in the regular army (judging by casualty figures, by oblast – almost every Lviv resident died in the ranks of the regular army) rather than in these far right militia-gangs which are indeed mostly from parts of Ukraine with social problems. The worst of these, Azov battalion, is mostly from Kharkiv.
I know that you understand that it is not the left side that is failing. They are doing what they have always done and always will. The structure is the creation of the right side and that is where the failure lies. Apparently I am too far toward the left side to figure out why.
While orderly Galicians may vote for nationalistic parties they fight in the regular army (judging by casualty figures, by oblast – almost every Lviv resident died in the ranks of the regular army) rather than in these far right militia-gangs
You once argued the exact opposite here. At one point you tried to explain the relative underrepresentation of Galicians in the official casualty lists of the Ukrainian army by saying, without citing any evidence for it, that Galicians are overrepresented among the volunteer brigades. I call them death squads, but I was trying to paraphrase you in the above, hence the “volunteer brigades” label.
Making excuses for your people is obviously more important to you than consistency.
Based on popular stereotypes, which I consider a great source of sociological information, Carpathian natives should be underrepresented in all military formations in this war. They’re seen to have third-worldish levels of altruism. Non-altruistic peoples can be game for massacres but will try to avoid battles. The Donbass War has had examples of both, but the desire to avoid battles will surely prevail over bloodlust in cowards.
And by the way, the junta itself, in the person of an advisor to Poroshenko, has admitted that Galicians are the biggest draft-dodgers in the Ukraine.
Here is a map of % of children born out of wedlock by oblast for Ukraine:
Two things that immediately come to mind are the rustbelt effect and the greater vulnerability of first-world populations to secularism. Western rustbelts also have lots of social problems – the American Midwest, the north of England, the northeast of France. Who made the Donbass into a rustbelt? Privatizes, looters, oligarchs, “democrats”. It had a healthy industry and healthy families in the late Soviet period.
Unfortunately higher-IQ individuals and populations are more vulnerable to secularism than lower-IQ ones. That’s one of the driving forces of the worldwide dysgenic trend. All other things equal, irreligion will decrease the birth rate and increase out-of-wedlock births.
Out of wedlock births are as low as 6.3% in Ternopil oblast – lower than Uzbekistan.
If the Ternopol region has a similar mean IQ to Uzbekistan, then of course it will have a similar level of religiosity and of out-of-wedlock births. I wish high IQ was asscociated with better things in the modern world, but it isn’t.
European males once were, and still could be, the ultimate alphas in the world. In most of the third world, European males are still seen as alphas. It’s only once they arrive in Europe that they see those hollow suits.
Not sure if its only when they arrive in Europe. All the 3rd world masses would have seen how Germany was surrendering to the recent arrivals, it is obvious to all just how beta they are.
And speaking of making excuses, the one you gave for the underrepresentation of Galicians among Austro-Hungarian officers in WWI isn’t any good. You cited serfdom. Which was abolished in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1848. 66 years is what, two and a half generations?
There’s inborn talent and then there’s what we might call oppression. How long can the effects of past oppression last? We can think of it this way: some European countries were severely oppressed by the effects of WWII and some missed the war entirely. Some experienced famine and rationing in the post-war years and some, having been neutral, didn’t. How long did the effects of that particular oppression last? I’d say less than a generation. By the early 1960s Germany was already rich and Portugal, which missed both world wars, was still poor.
There is a hole in your arguments. You admitted that there was no ethnic discrimination in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and that Galicians were underrepresented. When you were asked why, you cited serfdom, by which you meant past oppression. But after 66 years that becomes a poor excuse, especially considering that serfdom was abolished among Germans just a few decades before it was abolished in Galicia.
Another way to check this:
When immigrants come to a new country, they typically lack connections in it. All of their connections are to other immigrants, who are as unimortant as they are. When does this sort of disadvantage become negligible? Looking at America, I’d say pretty quickly. For example, an amazingly large number of big US tech companies are now headed by East Indians.
I don’t know about why but I think I know a little bit about how.
On one side we have the terror strickened face of Zaid Mohsen (over 7 million views if I read that correctly) and the horrific photo of the face down body of Aylan Kurdi and on the other side we have the Hungarian newswoman and Derbyshire. Derbyshire goes out of his way to mock these boys. Then for good measure he makes up a word to try and slam Oprah. He would be lucky to ever get one day’s worth of Oprah’s media influence.
It is so one-sided that it cannot even be called a contest.
When a people with as little to be proud of as the Galicians takes up off-topic boasting about itself, it’s just pathetic.
“Only don’t forget to replace the Seven Pointed Star with a Cross or you’ll just get another weird cult.”
Umm, what’s that supposed to mean? Make the proles believe in Christianity again while the enlightened elite knows it’s all a charade? I don’t see how that could work.
The problem with Christianity for me is that it isn’t just a set of ethics but also includes metaphysical claims that I simply can’t bring myself to believe in…using Christianity as a tool of social control to keep the proles in check…well, as I said, how’s that supposed to work?
I hadn’t seen the casualty lists broken down by region and unit:
http://pollotenchegg.livejournal.com/199118.html
The figures are incomplete, but assuming these official lists roughly match unofficial figures, we see Galicians incurring more than their fair share of casualties. Lviv oblast had the third highest total. We also see almost all Galicians dying in the ranks of the regular armed forces. Lviv oblast has 30 die in the regular army ranks, 1 in the National Guard, and 1 in some unknown battalion.
It depends on whether the popular stereotype comes from people close to the stereotyped, or whether the popular stereotype comes from propaganda. For example American stereotypes about people within the USA have some truth to them. Cold-war era American popular stereotypes of Russians were absurd. As are yours, about Galicians.
Wherever would you get this strange belief? Galicia was/is the land of cooperatives and mutual aid societies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_cooperative_movement
While the Austrian authorities eliminated discrimination they certainly did not institute any sort of affirmative action (as did the Soviets for prole worker children) or other policies designed to compensate for past serfdom. Nor did they take steps to eliminate unofficial advantages; naturally administrative, educational etc. posts were dominated by literate non-serfs and their descendants and would have very few former serf and their children. This would of course make any progress slow…for Ukrainian former serfs just as for Polish ones. Under such conditions 66 years isn’t enough time to overcome centuries of serfdom.
Good that you mention immigration. It is, indeed, the ultimate blank slate. Here is per capita income in the USA by ethnic group (2000):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_capita_income_in_the_United_States_by_ancestry
In the USA Galicians are overrepresented among Ukrainians (about 90% of Ukrainian Americans are of Galician descent); while this has been somewhat diluted by the post-Soviet emigration (though even most recent immigrants are themselves Galicians) in 2000 the post-Soviet effect was still smaller than now:
Ukrainians are ranked 20 out of 86. Above Belgians, Scotch-Irish, Danes, Czechs, Slovaks (but for some reason not people calling themselves “Czechoslovaks”), Poles, Germans, Greeks, Serbs, Taiwanese, Irish, Italian, etc. The large number of Galician-organized Ukrainian Medical Societies and Engineering societies, who organize Engineers Balls around the time of Carnival (a relic of Austrian customs) attest to this. Medicine and engineering are the two stereotypical careers for Galicians in the USA, who have retained their ancestors’ aversion to business and commerce.
BTW Glossy you have avoided the silly debunking of your “low IQ Galician” idea. You had nothing to say when I pointed out that:
Still have nothing to say about those facts?
The problem here is that there are also high out of wedlock rates in rural regions of eastern Ukraine such as Sumy oblast and in southern ones such as Kherson. These oblasts are much more rural than Lviv, yet their out of wedlock birthrate is 24.9% and 31.3% respectively, versus Lviv’s 7.3%.
Your silly low IQ in Galicia ideas have already been debunked.
Poland is the most religious country in Christian Europe and it is a high IQ country by European (and thus world) standards. Eastern Europe doesn’t completely follow Western patterns.
You believe everything uttered by Ukrainian government officials or only what is convenient for you? Casualty lists speak for themselves:

War has been brewing in europe for a few years now. I imagine the leftists will ally with the immigrants.
But to be honest i think an uprising will only get enough traction once its to late. I am so angry though, I would join in a heartbeat. I will gladly sacrifice democracy in exchange for keeping europe free from Islam and africans.
Fortunately we have upstanding family man Vladimir Putin to show us all a good example.
The first one she must have between 12 and 14? I’d guess 13.
Wasn’t it the first one who had the wife and kids.
I appreciate your general point and it applies in some cases but in most it doesn’t. These people deliberately target very young girls – they target children – not because they’re “alpha” because they’re scum.
The problem is white adults let them target children – something they’d never allow if the predator was white – cos the culture of anti-racism.
.
“Eastern Europe might not be strongly infected by the suicidal zeitgeist that has overtaken the West”
The cultural poison comes from the media.
I would gladly sacrifice everything to obtain the power of the white demons and humiliate and defeat them in battle.
