Archiving the “strange death of Europe,” as Douglas Murray put it, and the West more broadly, at the hands of the neoliberal technocracy.
According to my records — and I could be off by one or two editions, accounting never being my strong suit — this marks the one-hundredth installment of The Great Replacement Chronicles, one of the most important, if not the most important, serials in all of journalistic history next to Anti-ICE Karens Gone Wild!, for which I have yet to receive my just desserts in the form of overdue awards.
Let’s try to be supportive.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Gov. Greg Abbot: ‘Texas will be a land for the Indian community’
In a curious recently viral, resurfaced display of deference to the “Indian community” — the subcontinental one from halfway around the world, not the actually indigenous one, which might be more understandable — in Texas, Gov. Greg Abbot decreed the state to be “a land for the Indian community” before adding that “we will continue to celebrate Diwali here in the great state of Texas” as long as he remains its chief executive.

This public fawning over India and Indians by the governor was not a one-off event.
In January of 2024, he posted to X a graphic featuring an outline of the state of Texas with superimposed text reading “India” emblazoned on top of it using the colors of the Indian flag.
Proud to announce our next Texas economic development mission destination: India.

Texas and India share a strong economic partnership.
I look forward to further strengthening these ties over the next week. pic.twitter.com/i75rPZETIm
I suspect a lot of this “Texas is Indian country” talk has to do, as almost everything in politics does, with the massive influence that the tech industry exerts over American politics — in this context, importing cheap migrant labor to service the industry via the wildly abused H1B visa scheme to get lower-paid Indians into positions in American tech companies.
Via The Times of India (emphasis added):
In 2024, Abbott… championed strong Texas-India economic partnership and went to New Delhi. “Texas and India are two places—and two people—who both share an independent streak and a desire to make our mark on the world,” said Governor Abbott. “Each of us sits in a critical location—India, with China and Russia on their doorsteps, and Texas at the nexus of the United States and Latin America. We share the common values of family, faith, compassion, and hard work.
As we look towards the future, we must ensure that the next generation of leaders in Texas and India will be the innovators who solve the world’s foremost crises and that embracing the values we share leads to liberty and prosperity unmatched throughout the entire world," Abbott said at the event as he highlighted the investment of Indian companies in Texas.
Over $1.4 billion in capital was invested by Indian companies over the last decade through 59 projects, creating more than 10,300 good-paying jobs in Texas, Abbott said at that time. Over 542,000 Indians call Texas home, he added.
The referral to “Indians” as opposed to “Indian-Americans,” while the distinction might seem like splitting hairs, is a bit discomfiting, in that it suggests that the Indians never will assimilate, nor are they interested in assimilating, nor are they expected to.
They’re just Indian colonists whom Texas has imported now in perpetuity for some reason.

Here is one at an April 7 Frisco, Texas city council meeting explaining that America is built on foreign land — while squatting in what she herself describes as stolen land, a moral crime for which she is presumably pardoned because of her ethnicity — and demanding the government prosecute anyone protesting her co-ethnics’ invasion of the Lone Star State.
